I set the value of "Day length factor" to 104 and play it. As I gradually expand, the bus will be in deficit and the train will also become deficit.
Could you tell me if you have any good settings?

You can't place anything else than block signals on tunnels or bridges.ino wrote:JGR, so I was playing with bidirectional bridge/tunnel signal, and I think creation process is confusing.

You would be wrong. It's not in a release yet, though, but I have always been compiling by myself.

Only the first tile of the bridge will be a PBS signal, the next ones are unidirectional block signals.

It's a relatively advanced/arcane feature which is non-trivial to use correctly.ino wrote:JGR, so I was playing with bidirectional bridge/tunnel signal, and I think creation process is confusing.

The feature is done, publicly published on github, and (unless I hear otherwise) fully working.acs121 wrote:Well, it's not released, so it's not, that's allino wrote:You would be wrong.

This would be really great though.SimYouLater wrote:Would you consider adding Realistic Train Shunting at some point?
Thanks for all your effort, I'm never going to stop using your patch pack!
I am following the thread with interest, however I don't think that now is a suitable time to look into any possible integration.SimYouLater wrote:Would you consider adding Realistic Train Shunting at some point?

I can look into the feasibility of implementing something along these lines, however, what is the use case for wanting to do this?MagicBuzz wrote:Then I was so happy to get back the automated timetable and separation patch from your pack.
But there is just a small bad thing : with automated timetable I can't specify how much time the vehicles should stay in station.
Was wanting this too. In my usage, it would be middle ground between full auto-sep and fully timetable+scheduled dispatch. Like make passenger train stays in terminal a little bit longer (more realistic - esp. if you have two-track terminus over a subway-like service). Even with scheduled dispatch -- allow you to set waiting time for the returning service while still have automated timetable, etc.JGR wrote:I can look into the feasibility of implementing something along these lines, however, what is the use case for wanting to do this?MagicBuzz wrote:Then I was so happy to get back the automated timetable and separation patch from your pack.

Thanks for the bug report, I've pushed an update which should fix this.ino wrote:I know this feature isn't supposed to be ready yet -- but as I am curious, I got a bug to report.
Version: 6740a9a470af2795b3288ffe50f3cfc55968c2dc (on Ubuntu 16.04) Look at train #330. It cannot seems to find correct path that branch on custom rail bridgehead out of Tondhead station.

As the bridge entrance and exit pieces were at right angles, the no 90° turns code disallowed reserving the path, even though the bridge span was of non-zero length.
Thanks for the bug report.ISA wrote:Hey!
JGR maybe You may have a idea... As in some point with PB 25.0 I started to get OpenTTD "not responding" Windows message and game closes (return to Windows). Problem was that if I was trying to build road tunnel. I upgraded to latest version and the problem is still there. I didn't got any reports (crash and so on) from OpenTTD itself, only my save game is available. I still try to investigate, but to You have any hints to give?
~ISA
Edit1: Mislooked before. Got one file from crash
Edit2: And now after many tries I got OpenTTD fatal error and report

I'm having a problem with my scenario that I got and sadly no backups exist of a copy that does not have this problem is that recent, but my scenario is slightly corrupted (either a NewGRF problem or the bug regarding the tunnel heads issue in 1.7.2)

This started after I switched to your patch pack, perhaps you can help me out here (if not, hey no worries, I do keep backups but in this case not recently, long story but my own fault alas.) And as for why the glitched tunnel exists, if my memory serves me right, a crash caused this when messing with the NewGRF's (the tunnel should not be there in the first place!), and then this LOL, I didn't realize it until I made so many edits while paused (I make 98-99% of my edits while paused, and I don't run the scenario that often unpaused, except when building is complete for that time), so by the time I realized, the old backup copies were so outdated it's not worth recreating it, unless absolutely necessary (and by the time I found out, I made even more edits working around the problem, perhaps stupidly yes (it was stupid I won't lie here), but when you get in the moment, as I do with these types of games, you realize you've built so much...and then you remembered the scenario has this issue, yeah RIP me LOL!)
I appreciate it, and awesome Patch Pack -- I've been missing a lot playing the vanilla copy all these years (I discovered OpenTTD when it was v0.63 although I played since the original TT was new around Christmas '94). Take care and thank you very much in advance!
Yeah, then that proves I wrongfully assumed the changelog from OpenTTD 1.8.0-RC1 had fixed things related to tunnel heads amongst NewGRF issues which directly affected my save game. Fascinating. My apologies! And invalid type on the tile, interesting you should say that. OK, then I wonder here, what on earth would cause that - that's bizarre. I can tell you it started with v0.22.2(?) of your Patchpack, shortly after switching from vanilla 1.7.2 to it. If you could fix it, I would truly appreciate it!JGR wrote:This is the first that I've heard of any known issue with tunnel entrances.
Can you elaborate on this?
...
There are several things wrong in the area, including a tile of an invalid type, an unpaired tunnel entrance, and indications of bridges above the tiles.
This suggests something quite significantly wrong, and isn't a failure mode which I would expect. Changing NewGRFs should not cause these sorts of issues.
There have been a few bugs fixed since then which could plausibly cause memory writes to the wrong location (including to some random point in the map array, at some very low probability).RoninMastaFX wrote:Yeah, then that proves I wrongfully assumed the changelog from OpenTTD 1.8.0-RC1 had fixed things related to tunnel heads amongst NewGRF issues which directly affected my save game.

Fixed savegame:RoninMastaFX wrote:EDIT: Re-uploaded the scenario (again!), fixing a couple of things, several new additions, general cleanup from the "raw-ness", finalized the NewGRF addons (and cleaned up the excessive waste that was for 'debugging' & experimentational purposes) and placed the location to where the glitch is!
Your savegame crashes on load, so the tile blanking would either need to happen moderately early on in the load code, or the crashes need to be mitigated enough that the game loads.RoninMastaFX wrote:Also, for curiosity and for future instances of this happening, would you mind sharing how to blank tiles?
