Cargo Distribution

[rbn2903]

hm, ok, if it's a problem of wording, then I would have to wait for a German translating and that will probably only happen if and when cargodist hits trunk

I can't provide a binary at this moment in time, but I can give you a quick updated patchfile (also available on my dev site):

[Roujin]

The amount of settings added is a small fraction of the amount of settings already there. Perhaps the settings could be better worded:

I assume that the ARMOURED cargo class is just valuables - if so, put valuables instead. Same sort of thing for EXPRESS. Perhaps the accuracy could be converted into a percentage, although I'm not sure how that would work. The last three settings I don't see a better wording.

In the default game, that may be so. However, NewGRFs that define new cargoes (ECS, FIRS etc.) may remove those and/or add any new cargoes belonging to those classes.

Here's something random for your amusement and fonso's horror.

Step one: create a couple vehicles without orders:



Step two: rework the towns' road networks such that there aren't any dead ends, and add in any bus stops as feels appropriate



Step three: watch the MCF solver try and figure it out (clickable image)...

.

Although, I touched up the stations a little to make the link graph a little saner later on, so it didn't look as impressive anymore once the old links timed out

Sadly, the vehicles were not profitable with the default running costs

Dear Petre please make a win32 binary for the latest patch many thanks indeed!

Dear Petre please make a win32 binary for the latest patch many thanks indeed!

Sorry, time has very much gotten away from me in the past week. I've had two essays, two tests, and one quiz. I will make you a CargoDist binary either today or tommorow. </rant>

Alright, I hope you can also make a Linux 32 binary since I can't since the instructions for compiling on linux dont apply to my linux distro (Puppy Linux)

Thanks and look forward for that!

Whew, finally had time to make another build! r18948, MSVC.

If CargoDist crashes, do not report it to the OpenTTD developers. Report it to this thread. When making your post about the crash, please upload the crash.dmp, crash.log, crash.sav, and crash.png (only available as of r18184, so if you are using a build older than that, don't bother). These files are vital to finding what happened during the crash. For developers, you can find the PDB file and other files at this site: http://users.tt-forums.net/petert/dev/

Thanks petert, now think you could make a Linux 32 build when you have the time?

[petert]

Thanks petert, now think you could make a Linux 32 build when you have the time?

New Status: Git fetch failed, and I'm not willing to spend any more time on this,. I have too much other work.

Alright, Ill leave you alone....

I've committed an update. It resolves the conflicts with recent changes in trunk's smallmap_gui.cpp. I've finally given in and reintegrated the "subscroll" method for smoother scrolling. Before you could only scroll by multiples of 4 pixels in my smallmap.

[petert]

That was quick, good thing I'm still on my normal computer. r18972, MSVC

Don't you mean r18972

[petert]

Don't you mean r18972

Thanks, fonso told me about that on IRC. Fixed.

hmm... bored.... waiting for linux 32 binary...

You sound pretty entitled, like I said, it wasn't working. Unless you offer to give me a new computer or pay to have it fixed.

Wait... why would you need a new computer?

Mate, you're the bloke who chooses to use a different operating system from "the norm". I stick with Windows and all it's failings because I am computer illiterate. It works, so I put up with it. I am always thankful for people like petert who take their own time out to do things that I can't do, so that I may enjoy some of the things that computer minded people can enjoy by compiling their own OTTD versions, or whatever it is.

You can ask for this Linux Build, and if nobody makes it for you, you have two options. Either move on with your life, or learn how to do it yourself. Faced with such a choice, if petert couldn't share his builds anymore for whatever reason, I would just accept it, thank him for the work he has done so far, and then find something else to do.

Life (and these forums) are full of people who exist for reasons beyond keeping you happy. Nobody here is paid to do what they do, to work on OTTD and suchforth, they do it because they get enjoyment out of it, and they are kind enough to share their work with us. If people come to the forums and make it no-longer enjoyable... they stop doing it! Then nobody has anything. Not only do people like that ruin someones hobby and enjoyment, but they also ruin it for a lot of other people.

Think of it as the kid that comes into the playground, demands to be given attention, and when he's not, he kicks the ball over the fence and runs off crying - not only is he worse off, but everyone else is now too, and they didn't even do anything wrong.

Please, have a bit of a think about it - there are real people here, not virtual people who don't exist. Perhaps try learning how to do it yourself, and if you struggle, ask about it - people will be happy to help you, because you are making an effort. People appreciate that, and will want to help you. This is a very friendly forum compared to many out there, and you will get a long way by having a go.
