I have installed 2.5 beta 9 and I can confirm your problem. Thanks for reporting it. I suggest you upgrade to the latest 2.6 alpha if you want to use ISR.

It looks like I will to have to make the TTDPatch version test more restrictive. Both the goods stations and the switchyard use station variable 68. It seems this was added to 2.6 alpha at r1666, but was not added to 2.5 beta.

2.5 beta's been about for a long time, if I remember right. It's been on the nightlies since then, so a lot of things aren't in 2.5 beta

Have you tried it with the latest public 2.5 build (can be found here), although it may only be a trunk (2.6) thing.

The latest build of 2.6 alpha is here.

Thanks Lakie, I've just tried that one and have the same problem.

Yes that seems to be the case. It would be useful if the version needed for station variable 68 was mentioned on the wiki though.

I played with 0.7.0 in openttd for a while, the stations look very nice

what disturbs me a little bit is that all the cargo displaying areas look very dull if the station is always serviced, since the cargo does not pile up. is there a possibility that small stashes of cargo could be displayed if the station once had cargo of that type, or if a station nearby produces that cargo? [openttd has a feature where it can list all cargo that is produced in the catchment area when building a station, can this be exported to a newgrf callback?]

...is there a possibility that small stashes of cargo could be displayed if the station once had cargo of that type, or if a station nearby produces that cargo?

This has been suggested before here and here. It is still on my list of possible features for the future though.

From the point of view of coding, there would be a problem with station tiles, that display cargo waiting, for multiple cargos types (the crates, containers and mineral piles). Information about cargo accepted is available from station variable 69. The problem with using this with multiple cargos is that it has to be called separately for each cargo type. I suspect calling this up to 11 times for each tile would get a little expensive.

There is also the problem with the mineral platforms, of deciding which cargo type to show, if more than one cargo has been accepted at the station.

I just started playing a serious game with this set, and I must say: WOW! Amazing! My compliments too all artists, and the coders, because this set is drawn beautifully, but also coded in an awesome way. The possibilities with this set are endless.

[Eddi]

Information about cargo accepted is available from station variable 69.

i rather meant cargo that is provided, not cargo that is accepted... something like variable 61 (last picked up) could be used. [or am i misunderstanding the term "accepted" here?]

The problem with using this with multiple cargos is that it has to be called separately for each cargo type. I suspect calling this up to 11 times for each tile would get a little expensive.

don't you already do that for variable 60 (cargo amount)?

There is also the problem with the mineral platforms, of deciding which cargo type to show, if more than one cargo has been accepted at the station.

i will leave that as an exercise for the reader

>Purno: thanks very much. Your comments are appreciated.

I was thinking 'accepted' could mean 'accepted from an industry', but maybe you're right. I will investigate this further.

don't you already do that for variable 60 (cargo amount)?

No, I’m currently only calling variable 60 when there is cargo waiting. The type of cargo can then be determined by the action 3. Although there is a variable 60 for each cargo type, only one of them gets called at any one time.

[athanasios]

WOW!

Now I am curious to know what this stands for in your brain.
Nevertheless it means that you like this set on which I agree. Excellent work.

[leaderfrontier]

Thank you for your comment.
But i think i still use beta 9 will be better.
Anyway i think i didn't use the good station.
And thank you for making this nice project.

You rendered those thingies, right? They look so smashing detailed.

[leaderfrontier]

Good, add this vehicles in TTD,I think it will be greater.

Nopes, by zooming in one can tell that it's an amazing piece of pixel art.

[mart3p]

No, AFAIK none of Andy’s vehicles are rendered.

They look so smashing detailed.

Yes I have to agree, they are another masterpiece.

Good, add this vehicles in TTD,I think it will be greater.

We’re working on it, you’ll just have to be patient.

[Beardie]

Talk about GRFcrawler, I do have one request, I'm quite sure Beardie is the man can you make 2 good images for the GRFcrawler entry? 75*75 and 300*300. My instinct tells me that you even might have already done those Post them here, or send them to me via PM and I'll update the entry as soon as I can.

Sorry i didn't see you message sooner, but i'll get right on it for you should be done in a couple of days.

Industrial Stations Renewal v0.7.1

ISR factory v0_7_1.png (100.47 KiB) Viewed 3243 times

This release fixes a few bugs and also includes a few other updates. Changes from v0.7.0:

• Fixed: Incorrect container positions on non-track tiles.
  Fixed: Wires/gantry not shown on goods and valuables stations.
  Fixed: Incorrect orientations for conveyor N.
  French and Estonian translations added.
  Forklifts changed to new small forklift (goods station B, valuables station and valuables parking).
  Wood station diggers replaced with crawler crane and bulldozer.
  Train shed height reduced .
  Platform ramp graphics updated.
  TTDPatch version test changed to 2.6 alpha r1683.

As you can see, ISR v0.7.1 will no longer load in TTDPatch 2.5 beta. As ISR hasn't actually been compatible with 2.5 beta for some time, this shouldn't cause a problem for too many people, no one had reported the incompatibility until leaderfrontier's bug report 2 days ago.

ISR v0.7.1 is compatible with v0.7.0 savegames (there are no station ID changes), except the orientations of the north conveyors have changed. You will have to overbuild these conveyors to regain the correct orientation.

I have updated the files in the previous release post, so v0.7.1 can be downloaded here.

Thanks again to wallyweb for testing, thanks to cmoiromain and Alselius for their translations and a special thank you to andythenorth for his vehicles.

Just thought i would add that i have updated the advertisment banner, martp3.
