crystal ball says he's running "openttd" instead of "./openttd"

ingame version is 1.1.1. If you want I can post full console output

Like Eddi's crystal ball says, you are starting the wrong binary ...
Console output will not be needed.

On Ubuntu I de-installed the version found in the software repository because of this, although I am sure that starting ./openttd, from the correct folder, instead of openttd will work also if Eddi says so, Eddi knows a lot .
I never tried that to be honest so I can not help you there. I just compile my own versions and run from those folders ...

Am I right that the problems you mentioned with installing .deb(s) is complaints about the game already being installed?

No, it's more to the tune that installing .debs means I can't run multiple servers (which is what I'm trying to achieve). I rm -rf 'd the folders and then un - tar'd the file you sent me (essentially a fresh install).

I'll try Eddi's solution

openttd@welshdragon:~/chipp_v13.5$ ./openttd -D
./openttd: error while loading shared libraries: liballeg.so.4.2: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory

Install allegro or compile without support for it.

In that case:
Chillcore: Please can I have a binary without Allegro?

Thank you very much.

I do not want to be rude but, please install Allegro or compile your own binary. It's really easy on linux, just follow instructions http://wiki.openttd.org/GNU/Linux .

I can make you a binary without Allegro but then it may still fail on lzma or another needed library ... and I would have to compile again and again. I do not know what libraries you have installed or not.

You can not get a stacktrace if there is none. the libraries were loaded but the game did not start properly.
Normallly you would have seen the AIs being compiled and stuff like that but the program exited before that.

Anyway I did a little google search for "GetDYLDEntryPointWithImage failed" and it seems to be an OSX problem ...

Maybe you can do a little search of your own? I think you need to update your system but again I am not familiar with OSX so I could be wrong.
Also the thread in the second link has some more links in it that you may want to read. eg this one perhaps:
http://www.ilounge.com/index.php/backst ... s-on-macs/

I might do some more reading this afternoon.

I tried the recommendations on those forums, but with no luck... Still exhibits the black screen, crash behavior.
Anything else I can/should try to maybe dig up more info as to the cause of this issue?

As you can compile and run clean OpenTTD it must be something in the patchpack ... but what?

Maybe you could try to find out what the last version was that worked for you, I could then send you the versions I have between that one and the current released to try and find out when exactly it got broken ... I understand if you consider that too much work.

What you can also try is running the Win32 binary under wine? Not really a solution but at least you might be able to play in the meantime.

Bug report!
How to reproduce:

• Open a new game (or an existing one, it does not matter)
• Place a station near a town (ex. Badville) with no existing stations. Place it far enough away so that it will not be called Badville, but instead something like Badville Woods.
• Rename the station to Badville.
• Place a station as close to the town center as possible. It will be named Badville.
• Result: two different stations with the same name.

Note: screenie has no newGRFs.

EDIT: when starting, game says "ini: trailing characters at end of setting 'gui.date_with_time'. How do I fix this?

That's not an issue with this patch pack, that also works in trunk.

The reason behind this is that automatic station names and manual station names are two pair of shoes which are distinct.
This is virtually impossible to fix, if you want to allow both station naming methods as the default station names are translated, thus show potentially different for each language. Thus it's not feasible to match it against the manually given station name as the automatic station name may differ for each player.

The compiled version from OpenTTD trunk is working just fine, so it is definitely something in the patch pack. I can try to do to like version 10 and try to checkout that to see if that works... will give it a try and let you know.

Just tried building version 10 (r20802) and getting the same problem.

Hi Chill, I think you may have tinkered with daylength and income a little TOO much. Currently using daylength of 35.

In a game last running under v13, I was generating between $4-$5 million income a year. Under v13_5, that has ballooned to $74 million IN THREE MONTHS.

hmm simply open the cheat box... and turn off the do not divide income per daylenght.

Hm. So the cheat is enabled by default? :-/

I am (almost) sure someone compiled and played the patchpack on OSX ...
I did some more searching and found http://bugs.openttd.org/task/3651
Not sure if it will solve your problem but can you try running in windowed mode. You can set it in the config file before starting the binary,
"fullscreen = false" in the [misc] section.

Other than that I have no clue what else you could try, sorry.

Kamnet wrote: Hm. So the cheat is enabled by default? :-/

No it is off by default.
I am not sure why it is turned on in your game, maybe because I put it between the give money and change company cheats and the game got confused with the setting of another cheat.
I will add some code in afterload.cpp to make sure it is turned off when loading games that were saved before the cheat was introduced.
Or maybe I need to move it to the end of the list to not mess up other cheats that are being used?

Thank you for reporting.

I gave compilation of v13.5 a shot, trying to reproduce the reported problem on OSX 10.6: Some C&P patch related compile warnings: But I couldn't follow the other problems... maybe some more information on OSX version and other circumstances might be helpful.

You are a genius. It started just fine, and in the game I'm able to change it back to full mode and it restarts in full mode no problem.

Thanks!!!
