Can't CTRL-Click Reverse Engines

NekoMaster · Post by **NekoMaster** » 06 Feb 2011 23:26

In 1.1.0 Beta 5 I can't CTRL-click reverse most non-multiple unit engines like single unit diesels and electrics. I can't find a option to allow this in the advanced settings or in the configuration file.

Any idea how I fix this small problem?

Get the NewGRF developers to update their NewGRFs to tell OpenTTD that you may reverse the engines/wagons.

Not without some coding work.

Im talking about ALL SETS, not just the ones that disallow reversing. It worked before with NARS and Tropical Rail Set but now I can't reverse any engine in 1.1.0 (it tells me that I can't reverse direction of vehicle)

Disallowing reversing is now the default behaviour, only sets which specifically allow reversing will allow reversing.

What!? This is stupid, how else am I going to make ABBA sets or have more realistic North American Freight trains (where the direction of the locomotive varies). WHy would something like this be implemented?

Which gives you the bug report number of the problem the commit fixes.

Oh, and btw: default train engines are still reversible.

Why didn't you guys just make it so that NewGRF's can state whether or not a vehicle can be flipped so that all other engines can be flipped while the ones that look weird flipped can't be flipped.

That's exactly what they did. However, no grf currently released states that any vehicles can be flipped.

Pikka, time for an update to the NARS?

Post by **PikkaBird** » 07 Feb 2011 03:07

Perhaps.

What i ment in my above post was, make it so that by defualt, engines can be flipped and smaller engines can be coded to prevent being reversed

But that would be silly.

Dont worry... I have a feeling that the 2cc set may possibly be the first to support this "feature"

(that is, I posted a suggestion to DJNekkid in the devzone)

How is it silly that small engines should be the ones that can be made to be non-reversible and make all other engines by default reversible?

Seconded, most engines in sets are big anyway.

NekoMaster · Post by **NekoMaster** » 07 Feb 2011 23:18

And theres quite a few good sets that probably wont get updated (at least not for a long time) like the tropical rail set

you can easily provide such an update yourself. you don't even have to modify the grf.

How so? I can't do NFO
