Capacity-cost multiplers for vehicles(Split from MB's Thread

[wallyweb]

so sorry me for vasting your time - I did not read last posts...

Not a problem. However it is always a good idea to study the posts in a thread just in case a solution already exists.

If someone has missed the support for the original ships, the multipler now supports the default ones too:)

Cool! My files and folders have been updated accordingly.
Thanks

Hi,
Interesting tool, but would it be possible to go the other way as well, meaning to actually decrease the ships capacity?

I always find it difficult to use a new LNG tanker with 450'000 capacity to send to a Oil rig producing 120'000 a month.

And as you can't use TTD Alter with the nightlies, it is sometimes really difficult to provide a decent service to certain industries.

As you requested, I have made a modulo based version:) Use it well...

Some members of the forums may not be familiar with the term "modulo". Perhaps you could post a couple of examples?

I have added an example parameter setting to make everything clear.

Looks good. Well done.

[The Irish]

Wonderfull. Thank you.

[thgergo]

Wonderfull. Thank you.

The Irish, do my tool working properly? Wallyweb told me that the second parameter is always ignored, and always the default 500% is used, in TTDpatch I even cant assign a properly working parameter for TTDpatch yet Can you prove this behaviour? In OTTD, everything works for me

[wallyweb]

Time to revisit this topic because of a problem I've been having for a while but have been too busy to ask about it.

I use TTDPatch, always the current nightly, now at r1844, but the problem applies to all previous patch nightlies.
I have the last version, shiptool4.grf

The problem is this ... no matter what value I set the parameters to, I always get capacity and costs at 500% for both the default ships and MB's newshipsw.grf. 500 is the default value, so it would seem that under the patch, shiptool's parameters are not detected.

e.g. shiptool4.grf 200 100 returns values as if it were set to shiptool4.grf 500 500.

1. Am I doing something wrong?
2. Does anybody else have this problem with TTDPatch?
3. Does this problem exist with OTTD? (I think not, according to thgergo's post above)

i was hoping it will work but it seems it does not, it only changes the original ships but not MB ships and capacity rises but cost lowers (despite I set parameters to 600 300)

[Chico008]

Have a problem
the GRF doesn't seems to work very well

when setting parameters, it create Ships with new Capacity based on the base game boat with MPS names, and do not modify the Newships from de GRF
Capacity are modified on MPS ships, but not the prices modifications.

here's an example, si you'll understand better than my poor english.
(Shiptool put after Newships, with parameters 1000 1000)

Hello, same problem here. When I activate the multiple sets option, only the base ships are affected.
Thx.

Also - is it possible for sb able to code newgrfs to fix it?
</necromancy>

[Eddi]

yes. simply add the two grf-ids to the override list in openttd.grf

[michael blunck]

It's not worth the trouble. This, and that other grf, will be incompatible with NewShips 0.48, as of dec 2010.

New Newships? I can hardly wait...

New Newships? I can hardly wait...

It´s still not NewShips XL, but just adds cargo graphics for ECS and FIRS.

Aah, OK then.
