TTDX Editor 1.10.0014 will be out soon

[orudge]

I will soon release TTDX Editor 1.10.0014, the main new feature being support for TTDPatch 1.9.1 alpha 32 or later games. There are also various other changes made by Jens after the release of 1.10.0013. This is really just a stopgap version until TTDX Editor 1.20, which will probably be a relatively major overhaul of the program.

That is good news (did you know TTDX editor sometimes forgets things about HQ's so you might want to reveiew that )

[orudge]

What do you mean, "forgets things"? What things does it forget?

Location of HQ, HQ'S Existence, etc

Actually, I don't think that bug was caused by the TTDX Edit. It seemed to be caused by invalid subsidies.

If you're talking about the one that sv1fix fixes, anyway...

Did you get his source completely, I mean , is it yours now or will his name be in the credits ?
Can we ask improvements later on ??

hehehehe ... I agree with you

It is mine now, but obviously he will still be credited and the copyright now reads "Copyright © Jens Vang Peterson 2002. Copyright © Owen Rudge 2002-2003.".

Can we ask improvements later on ??

Yep, fire ahead.

[spaceman-spiff]

Yep, fire ahead.

Hey, wait a minute

[Rob]

Yep, fire ahead.

Hey, wait a minute

That minute is long gone.
So what are your wanted improvements?

[spaceman-spiff]

First the program, then we'll see what we want

I wanted to post the same thing

In another thread, Shadow said this:

Owen could you make in TTDXEditor one thing .... could it write in editing savegame, somewhere that it was modified by it ... .so that other can recognize if it was cheated or not (and full version which will have possibility to not save this extra data will be payed)

Well, I've got it implemented, but it'll only work with TRPxx.SVy games (ie, TTDPatch morevehicles games) and will require some code to be added to TTDPatch (more specifically, to patches\loadsave.asm). What it does is create an extra chunk using the new TTDPatch extra chunk format. The format of this is as follows:

Code: Select all

OFFSET     SIZE            MEANING

00         W               Number of edits (saves)

There are then several repetitions of the following 32-bit structure, based on the value of the above variable:

Code: Select all

OFFSET     SIZE            MEANING

00         W               TTDX Editor major version
02         W               TTDX Editor minor version
04         W               TTDX Editor revision version
06         L               UNIX timestamp of when game was saved
0A         L               In-game date (seconds since 1920)
0E         18 bytes        Reserved for future use

Now, when you load the game in TTD and then save, it "forgets" all this data, which is why a modification is needed in TTDPatch. Unfortunately, I'm not skilled enough to be able to do that, but could someone (Josef/Osker) create a patch to load extra chunk with ID 03 (can be changed obviously if wanted), store this in memory somewhere, and then save it back again? It's up to you whether this is implemented in TTDPatch 2.0 (it'd be nice if it could be) or not.
