SuperTycoon: The problem is you can't modify switches while the game is running. When TTD is started, the patch overwrites some parts of the old code with new code according to the enabled switches. You can't undo this after it's done, that's why you need to restart TTDPatch if you make changes in the config.

Would it really be worth coding even if it was possible?

Even with all switches off and only win2k on the demos only work properly when TTD runs in fullscreen and all ingame settings (news) are right...

And it's not worth the development time to fix all these problems...

In the new patch (alpha 56) the new feature that displays the warning about a scenario having no towns; and therefore may cause the game to crash, appears in one of my savegame even though there is about 12 towns and the game was a randomly generated map to start off with.

That said, the game is able to continue properly.

Can you post the scenario?

Rob · Post by **Rob** » 10 Aug 2005 16:10

TTDP crashes when I ctrl-click on the "reset" button in the vehicles orders.
Here's the crashlog.
If more is needed let me know.

Rob: The bug was my fault, it'll be fixed in the next alpha.

Thanks for reporting the bug.

I think the "wiki will be updated soon".

___________
Action 11
Define binary include data

Looks nice, but I need more examples.

I understand it like this:

16(sprite) * 2(length) 11(action) 02(count)
17 ** sounds/e67_horn.wav
18 ** sounds/sheep.wav

in grf file. Is that correct?

How can I use the sound ingame? Has the wav-file any limitationts?

Yes, but the count is a WORD, so it needs to be 02 00.

How can I use the sound ingame?

Not yet.

Has the wav-file any limitationts?

Yes, it needs to be of the same format as TTD's samples, and it cannot be more than about 65000 bytes large.

Yes. I just started the new sound support code and I didn't feel like documenting. I'll document those tomorrow, I promise.

What happens if you put a roadside bus stop on a one-way road? Can the busses stop on both sides at the same time?

Patchman · Post by **Patchman** » 23 Aug 2005 15:14

All one-way roads do is prevent road vehicles from entering the tile against the arrows. Nothing more, nothing less. (Yet.)

They already do this now, if the road would allow normal overtaking anyway. (enough straight road available)

What we would really need is that if you have to oneway roads next to each other, one in each direction, then it should allow to build roadside busstops on each of those, next to each other. (I know, probably impossible, but hey...

)

eis_os · Post by **eis_os** » 24 Aug 2005 07:32

Busstops are stations, not roads!

If patchman uses the newest code the green arrows will show the direction a vehicle can travel.
Thats why they are green.

The grf is for the new code thats why one-way roads currently are not useable because the grf shows the wrong status.

However I won't release the old grf, because then we get again problem with later versions and users useing the grf for the old system with the new code ...

Got it?

I even made a not very good wiki page for it aswell:

nicfer · Post by **nicfer** » 24 Aug 2005 14:22

Bug: I can't place one way roads in some slopes. Well, obvious that my ttdp verion is 2.0.1a57, I have onewayroads and buildonslopes on, and screenshot don't think for what is necesary

. Ah, and the famous bug of this alpha, no? I don't mentioning that this is a bug, just I am making a question.

Slayer, read the post above you. All of it.
