I got few problems with brewery:
- I do not know how to put it (I managed to put one after many many clicks) .. any suggestions how close to water/city it has to be?
- smoke out of the chimney sometimes it too high (wrong position)

I can't download v0.1 of newcargow, too. The .grf in the zip-archive has a modification date of 29.07.2005 09:52, but claims to be version 0.0 from 27.07 in TTDX's GRF status window.

BTW, I did download it without proxies (no forced ISP-proxy, too).

Michael, are you sure you zipped and uploaded the right version?

<sigh> Yes, I know. I forgot to update action 08.

Nevertheless, that is v0.1.

I think that is actually version 0.1, because the bug with the small flats/cottages isn't there any more. But you're right, it does still say version v0.0 in the GRF status window (I hadn't noticed that before), so I think it's just the description there that's wrong.

edit: Bah, beaten to it

Sorry! everytime I want to start the game and use the newcargo (update), I get a message tht tells me that it cannot be loaded because of invalid sprite nr. 219. Can anyone help me?

Thanks!

> [...] invalid sprite nr. 219.

You cannot use alpha55 with newcargo[w].grf. You have to use Csabokas version.

OK michael, dumb question, how do I get fish to load? Build a dock in the middle of the ocean or is there another way? :/

I'll save Michael some time

Right click while placing a bouy on the grounds (might be tile next to the grounds)
The bouy's name will be lit up like a station name and you can have a ship stop there for a load.
Just don't overfish the cod or a Newfie'll come for you.

Ooops ... Should be CRTL + click ... which implies "left" ... sorry about that.

DanMacK · Post by **DanMacK** » 31 Jul 2005 23:48

AHHHH I knew it involved Bouys

Hmmm, Readme says ctrl+click - I do that and the ship still won't load :/

SHADOW-XIII · Post by **SHADOW-XIII** » 01 Aug 2005 12:49

yes, it is CTRL+Click
btw. I think it should be done by default (without CTRL clicking)
(CTRL click should be for noone bouy)

oof, i bet Michael's getting fed up with the amount of questions directed towards him. well Michael, let me just tell you it all works fine, and plays even better. brilliance!

wallyweb · Post by **wallyweb** » 01 Aug 2005 14:19

Ok - a problem

Problem:
I haven't seen this discussed yet but if it's known then what is the fix?
If it's not known, I'll post scenarios, save games and configs.
The issue is this:
Instead of "fish" and "beer" and now also "Oil fired power station". I am getting "** grf text not found **"
When I create a scenario all is ok.
When I first play the scenario as a game, all is ok.
After a few years ... seems to be when the game first builds an industry, the problem appears.
Is there a fix or do you need all the gorry details?

wallyweb: Well, this seems to be a bug in my code, but I can't reproduce it

A savegame and config would be helpful.

Here they are:
I checked my original scenario and now it has the same error
so I just now created another scenario and it was good.

wallyweb: Thanks for the feedback, problem is solved. It was Yet Another Stupid Bug By Me (tm).

The next alpha will have this fixed.

Hey! Its experimental, right? So then there will be bugs. Finding them and fixing them is half the fun. The other half of the fun is watching it work properly after the bugs are squashed, so keep right on squashing ... You're doing great.

I'm looking forward to that alpha.

Now, if you'll excuse me, I have to go find some more bugs for you to sqash!

DanMacK · Post by **DanMacK** » 03 Aug 2005 09:16

Well, ctrl+Click does nothing, and I still haven't been able to build a fishing bouy, I just get a regular bouy and the ship won't load. I can get fish if I build a dock in the middle of the ocean, but the Bouy would be much better... what am I doing wrong?

It also appears I can't load trucks or anything with food, the food Proc. plants don't seem to produce food for livestock and grain. This is in arctic, not sure if it's with the other climates. My config/newgrf.cfg and savegame are below.

> I still haven't been able to build a fishing bouy

Well, you have "morebuildoptions=60" in ttdpatch.cfg but for the "fishery buoy" you´ll need an additional value of 64 (as stated in the donotreadme, BTW), i.e. you´ll need

morebuildoptions=124

Or you could use the extended bit switches by name:

morebuildoptions.enhancedbuoy

> [...] a dock in the middle of the ocean

That´s a known bug in the patch, possibly introduced by "flat docks" (for canals) a while ago.

retgards

DanMacK · Post by **DanMacK** » 03 Aug 2005 09:38

Ahhh, I must have missed that in the readme (and I did look...lol)

Thanks Michael, I figured it was something simple.

Any reason now why I can't haul food?

> the food Proc. plants don't seem to produce food for livestock and grain

Dan,

I´ve checked your game w. your newgrfw.cfg and ttdpatch.cfg files.

Indeed your food processing plants don´t accept fish. However, they do accept grain and livestock. I´ve built a new plant on Penndon Is. and that one would accept fish, too.

I´m not really sure if that´s what your initial problem is?

regards
Michael
