Patch: Disable Random Closing and Opening of Industries

[Pizen]

I'm interested in this patch for the same reasons wleader initially made it; passenger only gameplay (or by allowing all industries to be founded, no more industries in inconvenient places).

some one very nice helped update this patch and it seem to work here is a win32 build for you to test

and please all say a very big thank you to Cranik

Two concerns.

• 1. Why not release the patch file?
  2. You need to supply - at the very least - a LICENSE file with that binary distribution, possibly along with some way of acquiring/requesting the modified source.

You would probably be better off just supplying the patch file instead, but I realise that compiling can be a pain to many. Nevertheless, that is no excuse for the missing license file.

Thanks go out to wleader and quite possibly Cranik, but I've yet to try this patch and thus can't say much more than that.

Here is the mentioned patch (by Cranik, presumably), r16183.

Also attached are new DOS/UNIX format patches for r16454.

Are there any chances that functions from this patch will be added to the main game?

Seuriusly I like the idea mentioned a long time ago in this topic. It wouldn bother anyone who dont want to use it, but for some people it may be really helpfull.

Chance is about zero.
Unlike what the patch promises, you cannot actually prevent *all* primary industry from closing, NewGRF industries decide by themselves to close down, the game code has no control over it.

Hi to all,
is the bin attached in previous post valid for the 0.7.5 version ?

i'm not able to compile by myself...but i think is a good patch for my game style.

Thank You.

No, sorry. Such a patch wouldn't allow you to use 0.7.5 since it breaks multiplayer (and savegame?) compatibility.
