OpenTTD 0.6.0-beta2

[maartena]

No, I don't load GRFs and never have loaded GRFs, not even in standalone

that's a shame - you miss out on a lot of good & nifty little features

I know - I am still thinking of building a newgrf server with newindustries and trams and whatnot, but I have always kept with the original version and what came with that.

Still hoping for inclusion of the "generic tram set"

I hate to burst your little bubble, but trg?r.grf and openttd?.grf are all GRFs. The latter are even newgrfs.

sorry, bur the industry and registers code does not work.

Have you actually tested beta2? Because I have fixed something that you see as the registers behaving incorrectly a few hours before the release, even though it had absolutely nothing to do with registers. The registers work exactly as they should.When the GRF tells it to store value X, it stores value X and when you retrieve it it is still value X.
However, when the GRF is called with a NewGRF callback that your GRF does not expect and then 'chooses' to go through the production callback code.

I suppose I have beta 2.
Sorry, I did not understand your remark, but I suppose, because in TTDP it works as intended, that there is something wrong with newgrf support in OTTD, not in GRF itself. How can I help to fix the bug or is it known?

[wickedgenius]

Good work.

I can play this one without it minimizing and then mazimizing every half a minute.

I think this makes a great xmas pressie for everyone.

Sorry, I did not understand your remark, but I suppose, because in TTDP it works as intended, that there is something wrong with newgrf support in OTTD, not in GRF itself. How can I help to fix the bug or is it known?

Primarily by telling what is broken. I myself do not like starting TTDP because I have to run it in DosBox (due to my inability to get Wine working). This means that it takes about 5 minutes to start a game, the game itself is slow as hell and for some reason unknown to me DosBox does not want to release my mouse. This means that a side-by-side comparison of TTDP and OpenTTD is virtually impossible for me.

Furthermore when you claim that something is broken, you better be sure about it. It took me (read: I wasted) a lot of hours to painstakingly trace the NewGRF and the value changes in the registers to figure out where the NewGRF went wrong; ignore all the wrong comments in the NewGRF that say like multiply by X, then divide by Y when it actually multiplies by Z and divides by A, where X != Z and Y != A. At that moment I could not find a single instance where the NewGRF did not behave accordingly to what was specified in the NewGRF.

When somebody later told me that the changes were done too often, it made me find an slight inconsistency in the code which did perform a 'random action 2' callback on the industry, which eventually caused the production callback to be called too often and with improperly initialized variables.

Sorry for making you so emotional.

Back on topic.
Look here

                 01 DE 80 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 DE 80

As you can see, IR0 and PL should be both below 256, 1 and 16 to be exactly (93 20 FF 00 00 00 0A 1A 20 00 00 01 00 00 7C 00 20 FF 00 00 00 0E 1A 00 04 01 00 00). But as you can see in game, they are 256 and 4096. Why?

[ostlandr]

That's what I thought too. I waited until I saw the message pop up and hit "pause" then checked train 20. The window said it was headed for Lisle*(the non-shared station) and that's the direction it was headed. If that were the case it should had orders to go to Wheaton* ("Cudham") but been bouncing back towards the other station. The train probably had run into the depot, by which time the station had cleared and was on its way to the next stop by the time the message popped up and I checked it.

I fixed the station (was having local authority issues when I built it) and will let you know if it does it again.

I wouldn't have mentioned it except for that weirdness with the coal train in my other game, which was on a single track line with no signals or turnouts except its own depot.



* using US town names so for me the non-shared station is Lisle and the shared is Wheaton.

Train 20 in the save game is the one that keeps saying it's lost.

It is actually true. For some reason, when the Cudham station is full it turns around and goes back. At that moment it cannot find a route to Cudham anymore because the pathfinder does not support 'dead end bouncing', i.e. it will not create a route that involves turning at some dead end. As a result of that it does not get a route, which makes OpenTTD correctly show the train lost message as it cannot find a route to the destination for that train.

0.5.0 took 3 months so nothing is certain.

Wow a world's record

You've not heard of an OS called Debian have you?

I have

[DaleStan]

It took me (read: I wasted) a lot of hours to painstakingly trace the NewGRF and the value changes in the registers

I expect you're aware that TTDPatch can dump a log of all values read or calculated, which can provide the register values indirectly?

Then you just have to make sure that Open's following the same path at the same times and/or play spot the differences, which (if Open has a similar feature somewhere) could be as simple as diffing the logs.

Spot the difference becomes kinda hard when random numbers are used.

Well, if you haven't yet, read up on Cht: grfdebug. It's not a straight dump, obviously, and (even post log-parser) still requires some cross-referencing with the NFO, but any values that are either read or written will be listed.

Spot the difference becomes kinda hard when random numbers are used.

True. But I was hoping/expecting that the problems would make themselves obvious without too much randomness.

[DeletedUser21]

w00t! Late reply from me but good job, can't wait until the primary release. This is getting even better!

[Doorslammer]

Downloaded and hoping the servers playing multiplayer with beta1 catch up soon, looking a bit sparse for multiplayer just now...

[dihedral]

some admins might have other things going on, too! but i will try upgrading this week

[maartena]

Okay, point taken.

Either way, except for the default ones I have not loaded any additional GRFs.

Also, I pressed "emergency save" and it said it succeeded.

I have attached crash.zip to this post which contains crash.log, crash.sav, and crash.dmp - not sure if it will help, but if there is anything I can do to find out what the problem may have been, let me know!

ill reproduce with crash.dmp

Hmmm... Just installed Beta 2, and get the following message when double-clicking the desktop icon:

"Your TRG1R.GRF file is corrupt or missing! You can find [it] on your Transport Tycoon Deluxe CD-ROM".

I can choose between pressing OK or Cancel, and whatever I press, the game starts anyway with no apparent glitches.

I don't have the CD, but a clean Windows installation of the original game from which I have tried copying the file, but it doesn't work. The same file worked seamlessly with 0.5.X

I don't know if this has any impact on gameplay, but it is fairly annoying knowing that something isn't working as planned... I do get plenty of crashes when trying ECS, even though having followed all the instructions I could find and understand... Could these two problems be related?

Thanks in advance!

a) everything before 0.6.0-beta1 did not properly check the validity of the GRF files. Now it does. This means that the GRF was not okay in 0.5.x either, but it only did not complain about it. It also means that the GRF in your TTD installation is 'corrupted' in some way.

b) 0.6.0-beta2s that are build with MSVC (all win32 builds) on the 'release' seeting have a 'known' (and already fixed) problem with some ECS graphics. This is due to the fact that the compiler thought it was smart to rearrange some calls when doing the release build. You can install the win9x binary of beta2. That binary should work as it is not made with MSVC. However, it does not support Unicode text/filenames, which means it basically only supports filenames with spaces, normal 'Western' letters (no accents whatsoever), dashes, commas and periods.

I had the same problem with a nightly. Are you using the DOS files or the WINDOWS files?

I found I was inadvertently using the dos files. One version (can't remember which) adds an R to the filename.
