Re: [Patch] Catenary on third rail-type
OpenTTD has advantages and disadvantages over TTDPatch. This is one of the disadvantages.
Maybe railtypes could fix this in the future.

Sorry if my english is too poor, I want learn it, but it isn't too easy.

Re: [Patch] Catenary on third rail-type
We could go on forever about this.
Let's just hope that once railtypes is done that it supports the misc grf flags (like this one) instead of rewriting the rulebooks.

Re: [Patch] Catenary on third rail-type
Well no it won't, because the 3rd rail type will always only ever be the 3rd rail type, i.e. monorail.
He's like, some kind of OpenTTD developer.
Re: [Patch] Catenary on third rail-type
Here is a modified version of this patch that will make catenary appear over monorail tracks instead of maglev. It will be useful for the new version of the Japanese Train Set, where Shinkansen tracks will replace monorail instead of maglev.
(As has been discussed above, the inability to choose between monorail and maglev is the major drawback of this patch and the whole "catenary over third rail type" feature as it is at the moment. Still, for us Japan Set players (and possibly some others), this is better than nothing.)

Re: [Patch] Catenary on third rail-type
You don't suppose someone could upload a compiled build of this patch in a .zip for me please?
Re: [Patch] Catenary on third rail-type
Maybe someone will, but I can't unfortunately, unless you want it for Mac OS X.
There might be more Japan Set players though who would appreciate a Windows build. Not sure if anyone on our team can compile for Windows. (Steven?)

Re: [Patch] Catenary on third rail-type
This is a bump, GRANTED. But I have downloaded that .zip file, and its all working dandy, but I cannot change the language. Any support on that would be great

Have you copied over language files from another version of OTTD, in not sure if that contains them.jake.grimshaw wrote:This is a bump, GRANTED. But I have downloaded that .zip file, and its all working dandy, but I cannot change the language. Any support on that would be great

Re: [Patch] Catenary on third rail-type
AFAIK, I have done it all correctly. See attached.
Re: [Patch] Catenary on third rail-type
Hmm.. only Pig Latin works, which has been removed ages ago? Looks like you're actually running an old binary and not the recompiled one. Anyhow, Pig Latin shouldn't be there at all; something has really messed up your install.

Re: [Patch] Catenary on third rail-type
I only used the .zip file above. Should I just try the whole thing again ?
[EDIT] I tried it again, and noticed that it says "No valid language packs" when trying to run the executable, even though the /lang folder is full ?

Re: [Patch] Catenary on third rail-type
Language packs not compiled for the version of OpenTTD you're running are automatically deemed invalid if one of the strings in English is different. This includes adding and removing strings.

Re: [Patch] Catenary on third rail-type
Is this likely to be the problem then? Any ideas how to get around this, or shall I just get used to Pig Latin ?
Re: [Patch] Catenary on third rail-type
AFAIK just compiling it yourself should fix it... It applies cleanly to trunk, CargoDist... pretty much anything.
I'm going to suggest this mainly because otherwise I'll forget it.
Can this be turned into a toggle-switch option? So people who use the Japan (and Swiss too, jake.grimshaw tells me) sets can have their Catenary, but when it's not wanted, it can just be disabled.

Re: [Patch] Catenary on third rail-type
I seemed to have fixed the language problem, although the Catenary isn't actually appearing But yes, I would like to promote Gremnon's idea
