I found a bug, it is hard to say if it comes from TTDPatch or maybe even from TTD .... anyway ... I having save with Breakdowns Off and when new months come many vehicles broke down ... the most freaky thing is that only vehicles in small area broke down

nowhere else

tip to save: go to station Budapest Factory In wait till July (1st or 2nd of July when UFO lands and observe) ... trains and road vehicles broke down

Everything always breaks down near a UFO.
It's a TT thing.

is it a bug/feature or what is it ? it looks like a bug for me

It's a feature. It's a disaster.
All you're vehicles are grounded for a few (TTD) days.

DEBTMAX is not working in alpha 8 (I use Polish Zloty in game as currency)

Patchman · Post by **Patchman** » 01 Dec 2003 14:44

Works for me...

Have you tried reinstalling the patch? Or the game itself...
Because i've had some kind of these problems in past but i reinstalled TTD so they were removed.

When building with buildwhilepaused, the red "Cost: $xxx" messages that appear above everything don't float off and disappear, they just stay there. If you are doing a major upgrade you can get so many of them you can't see anything! Probably you already know about this but I haven't seen it mentioned here. I'm using a8.

Also, I play the game fullscreen in WinXP, but frequently use [Alt]-[Tab] to pop back to my normal desktop (check my mail, etc.) When I'm using transparent station labels, and switch back to my normal desktop, then pop back into the game, the labels aren't transparent anymore, and switching them back and forth with the control doesn't do anything. Usually. Sometimes they eventually come back to being transparent, sometimes not.

That's supposed to happen. However, if you do enough modifications, there will be too many of them for TTD to handle, so the oldest one will disappear and all the costs will move upwards. I can't think of an improvement, though, because not having them in paused mode would be annoying, I think.

krtaylor · Post by **krtaylor** » 01 Dec 2003 20:39

Well, I thought, maybe if it was possible for their behavior not to be changed in pause mode - in other words, they float up and disappear just as they do when building while not paused.

Oracle · Post by **Oracle** » 01 Dec 2003 20:44

I don't think you can: if you build something normally and then pause the game, the 'cost' labels stop and don't float up until you unpause it again. The movement of those labels probably depends on 'ticks' in the in-game clock, which pausing it stops. To change this would probably mean that Josef would have to rewrite all the code controlling this to make them go up while paused, which would be a lot of work.

krtaylor · Post by **krtaylor** » 01 Dec 2003 20:48

Ah. Yes, not worth the effort. Moral: Only build while paused when you have a good reason to do so.

e.g. saving yourself the pain of having to hammer on the F1 key to buy water tiles at little cost, or (as I sometimes like doing) assigning orders to trains (new or otherwise).

More examples, someone? (I don't like that first one)

SHADOW-XIII · Post by **SHADOW-XIII** » 01 Dec 2003 23:22

renaming signs, names(company, mine, vehicles), etc

Reconfiguring a city center station, quick before anything can build where you are trying to work.

Causing problems for an irritating AI company.

I wonder wath happens with your ratings while you destroy a whole town while paused ?

Oracle · Post by **Oracle** » 02 Dec 2003 16:51

I don't know.
But in my current game, I did a load of land movements while paused and my rating in the nearest town (which wasn't far away at all) was still 'Outstanding' at the end of it.
