Another Daylength patch

[pavel1269]

A little update. Vehicles were getting old faster.

all other graphics seem to work fine, so i can live with a little glitch
is it true that the trees also have reduced growth speed now ?

**EDIT**
is it possible to include this also into the patch:

reduced_tree_growth_r18655.diff

Yes, trees do growth slower also.

I wont include that patch. But I can merge those for you, if you want that slow growth

[Dante123]

i guess that would be great =)

i still need to set up the whole compiling stuff again so i can compile myself in the future again
p.s. so far all seems still to work fine.

So here is Reduce tree growth with Day length.

as usual, i cant thank you enough

[pavel1269]

A filled cheque will thank instead of you

But now, with slower days, everything, except moving vehicles, will be slower.

have you also changed the tileloop? normally, the tileloop is done in a way that every tile is touched every 256 ticks, with daylength, some tasks (tree growth, house growth, etc.) should be done in daylength*256 ticks.

[pavel1269]

The "key" for my new concept is to not touch ticks. Generally I just made them last longer. Changing tick flow caused a lot of inconsistency with various CBs. Now as you can see in patch, when tick should happen it might be "skipped" and only something happens (vehicle movement, various checks ...).

What about industry ?

Look to the numbers. Take some raw to industry and its will be have a lot of output per month!

[pavel1269]

Well, from the pic I do not get whats the problem. Next time please switch for a moment to english.

But you are using ECS right? And, is this really caused by this patch and not work as intended?

I am unable to see what is happening in the picture (it is better to use direct forum upload). But: longer daylenght -> more ticks in month + production is happening once per constant number of ticks + output is displayed per month -> larger quantifies in industry window (exactly: new_quantify = normal_quantify * daylength_multiplier)

[pavel1269]

False in everything you said.

I am unable to see what is happening in the picture (it is better to use direct forum upload). But: longer daylenght -> same ticks in month + production is happening once per constant number of ticks + output is displayed per month -> same quantifies in industry window (exactly: new_quantify = normal_quantify)

Looks like timetables lying:
Actually with factor = 10 my vehicle travel around 4 days, but in timetable 44 days.

[Eddi]

with daylength, you should probably switch the timetables to ticks anyway...

So, is this a display issue?

Hi there,

I am online again after a long time and would like to know if it would be possible if you could get a new patch for verison 1.0.4 (stable).

[pavel1269]

You should note, that I abandoned "normal" day length approach, because it could break some NewGRF industries. Instead of this, I created, and is on page 9 or 10, the "true" day length. It is now slowing whole game down, but vehicles.

If you are interested in "old" approach, Chills patch pack have such day length included.

[Spartan190]

You mean the industrie growth slower etc.?


That is no problem.
