No tourist are spawned, for example in large town with Grandhotel Zvon, however station coverage claim both accept/supplies tourists.
ECS Town vector 1.2 R163
ECS Houses 1.2 R185
Can anybody confirm if it is replicable issue?

could you please a savegame? I can't reproduce it here

Save is here:
http://149.156.194.203/~mczapkie/Train/ ... an1981.sav
but it is save from JGR-0.13.2 patched server, therefore I'm not sure if it is ECS related or other bug.
Vehicles are refitted, cargodist display empty tourist link.

I've noticed too, changed houses to after ECS and no Tourists, using latest JGR PatchPack, maybe it's a patch bug note related to ECS.

a day length patch may affect ECS.
Could you reproduce the problem with trunk?

I'm not using DL (not enabled but patched), I've asked JGR to look if come with something.

But it's only Tourist, all other cargoes are fine. Houses show Tourist but don't generate.

The same GRF config works in trunk, so it looks like a problem with my patchpack rather than a ECS GRF issue.

I confirm, after downgrade ECS houses to 1.1.2 version, still no tourist generation, my preindustrial houses hotels are not generating either.
I will try to retrieve older saves, I'm pretty sure that it was working with previous JGR versions.

JGR already resolved:

This is due to the town cargo generation factor patch, and so has been present in every jgrpp release to date.
I'm slightly surprised that no-one has noticed it until now, then again I suppose most players don't use ECS.

This is fixed now and will be in the next release.

I'm trying to put together a scenario in TTDP for nostalgic reasons but it's quite challenging especially on the newgrf front. I planned to use ECS but I can't find any versions anywhere online that would work in TTDPatch. v1.2 is only for OTTD but according to the ECS site v1.1.2 should work in TTDP, too. But with that version I'm running into the same bug of course that wallyweb reported here:
viewtopic.php?p=967866#p967866

Unfortunately your fix ( viewtopic.php?p=967908#p967908 ) was overwritten by a newer version not compatible with TTDP and wallyweb never published his fix (hinted at here: viewtopic.php?p=1112553#p1112553 ) or at least I couldn't locate it. I couldn't find versions older than v1.1.2 either.

It would be great and much appreciated if a TTDP compatible version (no matter how old) was made available for download on your site for legacy reasons. ECS is/was the flagship industry set of TTDP after all.

Wow! That was Tue Feb 25, 2014 11:30 am. I might have it on a hard drive on an old PC. This will take a few days for me to find out what I did.

Double Post ...

Found the fixes I did. Not knowing George's licensing policy, this is an unauthorized fix release for archival purposes for TTDPatch Windows.

Is version 1.2 available as source somewhere, including the sprites, i.e. ready to pack into a GRF? I was thinking about making some slight logic changes for a personal game if the sources are available somewhere.

What sources do you need?

Well I have the ECS 1.2 grfs from Sep 11 to Feb 12. I just wanted to have a look. All I wanted to tweak was basically that an industry only drops one level if not enough cargo is waiting instead of having a chance to drop all the way to the bottom again. In longer daylength games it takes forever for it to go up again. Dropping all the way from normal to very low is painful.

If you mean you need the commented NFO - then here they are
https://yadi.sk/d/mCac3EdZ3U72SR

I actually meant the original source. Or did you actually code ECS in plain NFO without using a tool chain to generate it from something higher level. I wouldn't even know where to begin changing something here. If that's how it was done I'll pass

That NFO is the original source, afaik we have no tools that produce useful comments.

I never looked into NewGRF development, so let me get this straight... before NML got introduced... you guys wrote basically bytecode?... no wonder NewGRF development takes forever....

Comments in plain nfo can be included by "actionC". AFAIR, this has been used as well by George, if not even said feature was initially included after being proposed by him.

There were a lot of other attempts "before NML" - just remember GRFmaker. And reading/writing plain nfo isn´t that hard - after a while. I remember writing DBXL v0.7 in one afternoon, many years ago.

Coding has never been "the problem" in producing large sets, but *designing* the set in the first place, and supplying all the needed graphics are the real problems.

And BTW, files of ECS.zip indeed contain (some) real comments.
