Cargo Distribution

[Rubidium]

Patching 1.0.2 with cargo distribution makes little sense. The idea of 1.0.2 is that it is a stable release for playing multiplayer games and the like. If you patch 1.0.2 with cargo distribution you will get something that is totally not compatible with 1.0.2.

So you're better of just fetching the last binary from this thread.

[Eddi]

also, 1.0.2 is not the "newest version", it is only the "latest stable version", which is technically very old already, as it is based on a version from march with very little changes since then.

cargodist instead is developed against the "unstable" version (aka "trunk"/"nightly"), which had many more changes since march, and thus is way newer. patching cargodist on 1.0.2 would mean going backwards.

So the the cargodist is compiled with the lastest nightly version?

[ChillCore]

No Cargodist is developed against trunk. http://wiki.openttd.org/FAQ_OpenTTD_versions
Compiling yourself is explained here: http://wiki.openttd.org/Category:Compiling_OpenTTD
If you run into trouble with compiling you can ask questions here: http://www.tt-forums.net/viewtopic.php?f=33&t=21678 (You are expected to have at least tried before asking questions ...)
From time to time somebody will post a compiled windows binary which you can find if you scroll back a few pages.
There is a patchpack that contains the latest version of cargodist here: http://www.tt-forums.net/viewtopic.php?f=33&t=47622 (It is not meant to evaluate cargodist as it is not guaranteed to be free of errors, meaning do not complain here if you experience trouble with it)

Hope that helps a bit ...

Not the "latest nightly version", but rather a version of trunk (a revision).

Thx A LOT for helping, i downloaded a patched version of march (found here http://bundles.openttdcoop.org/cargodist/g5b3732ce/)

Now its working, its an amazing patch!

Sorry for inconvinience

[ChillCore]

I forgot about that link.
That would indeed be better for evaluating Cargodist than using a patchpack and if you are lucky there might still be a server online that you can join with it too.
Don't forget to post your savegame if you can crash it in some some way or need some help. fonso will appreciate it .

Also don't forget that the g1*** etc. build of CargoDist is somewhat newer. However, it just came to my mind that if I remember correctly, fonso has changed the supply scaling algorithm since that last build. So maybe a new build is useful.

[corps]

The lastest that i found was from March, is there a newer one? (binary, i dont know how to compile hehe)

Oh, i dont play multiplayer, i just like to play "single player", in a "hardcore" mode ^^

But if i have a problem ill ask

Very appreciate

[ChillCore]

If I were on windows I'd be happy to compile it for you.
However, I can produce a patch for svn if someone wants one.

[Arie-]

Just take a look at this http://bundles.openttdcoop.org/cargodist/ directory. It shows the g71 build being newer. I do not know which one is newer however or what the difference is between those two.

[ChillCore]

The difference is about 9 months worth of development with the g17 being newer.

If somebody on windows feels like compiling I have attached the svn patch for r20016.

Edit: Wrong diff attached the first time.

[Creat]

As quite a few have requested an up-to-date binary, here it is. It was build with the most current git-checkout at the time of writing.

Cargodist version-string is: g0f7d66d2
It is based on Trunk r20016 (in case anyone cares...)

Note: sorry for it being a .rar and not a .zip file, the later was too large to upload/attach to the forum post... Am I right to assume there is a 4 MB limit?

Disclaimer:
If CargoDist crashes, do not report it to the OpenTTD developers. Report it to this thread. When making your post about the crash, please upload the crash.dmp, crash.log, crash.sav, and crash.png. These files are vital to finding what happened during the crash.

In case it is needed I've also attached the corresponding PDB, this is intended for developers only! If you just want to play the game, you don't need it!

(thanx to petert for the disclaimer, kinda stole that from him )

Ok, that one was a small typo with a big impact: it had to say g17 . @ Creat, well done, I think many appreciate it, at least I do.

Glad I could help

Not sure if this bug belongs here or not, but I am using the NAR grif with cargo distribution and I have to use electric rails to get some of the steam engines - the Norris and the Atlantic.


For those who are having problems with passengers crushing your transport network, I found increasing the impact of distance on cargo distribution - in the advanced settings - solves this problem.

What version is it and what patches does it have?

[cato58]

I pulled a compiled version from a link somewhere in this thread.

The game has a title of "OpenTTDg5b3732ceM-cargodist".

I am using the Ubuntu lenny version.

[corps]

Thx A LOT guys for compiling and uploading.

That bug is known. It was a bug in trunk and it has been fixed. The version you are running is a little dated ...
