In the "configure patches" window:

its on 1975 already

[Ameecher]

Yes, and you're playing a game in 1950. So if you don't want semaphores in 1950 you'll have to change it to 1949 or something like that.

[hectobar]

thanks. and now weve got that out of the way can i get pre signals on open ttd?

[Benny]

Yep, place a signal and press it again while holding down CTRL.

[XeryusTC]

Everything you need to know about signals is here like many other things.

[hectobar]

thanks muchly

[hectobar]

I would have had some more but since i got 0.7.0 i can't load a game. i can play it from scratch but i cant save it then load it back up again.

I tried to downgrade it to the last one but since the ottd website was upgraded i cannot!
any help out there!

Like... uhm one of:

http://www.openttd.org/download-stable/0.6.3
http://sourceforge.net/project/showfile ... _id=111717

Although filing a bugreport because you cannot open a savegame that worked in a previous stable release is probably the preferred way of getting it working in the next stable release again.

[hectobar]

thanks!! but i appear to have lost one or two grfs in the process. ill just have to get them back.

well this computer is rubbish and cannot handle much. I'll be getting a new one shortly.

[hectobar]

some from a new game starting from 1800 with horse and cart from egrvts

as you can see they do not make much profit but i am starting in 1800 so it will build up by the time i get to 1900

also the opponents will not build anything because most of the carriages are to long to fit in a dead end bus stop which is what they use. so i am buying 75% of the companys for when the game goes on and they make more money

EDIT: and i love the way they turn its so smooth,(good job zephyris!)

[hectobar]

gah! unfortunately i have been having problems with ttd and i lost that game its all fixed up now and i started a new game. the only problem is these 2 bugs.

1(red)) the obvious: those coaches and mail vans are the only ones doing that and i dont want to play a game with that!
2(yellow)) the track that the trains are on goes slightly darker than the rest of the track, and this happens with every train from every set, including the original.

[Ameecher]

1) try posting a bug report in the relevant thread....
2) That is track reservation. Track that is reserved goes darker.

[hectobar]

2) That is track reservation. Track that is reserved goes darker.

is there a way i can get rid of it?

[Ameecher]

Yeah somewhere in the advance settings. Probably under the interface tab. I suggest you try looking for yourself.

[hectobar]

i did not save that game because of that bug so i started a new one (again) but this time i am hooping it will last.

1. the hub of my empire (this time i am hoping it will be more of a network)

2.this is probably the best i have ever done at networkifying and i want to know what people think so tell me and give feed back if possible. i have joined up every track i own and all appart from one have two trains for different places running on them.

3.this junction looks odd but is functional. i am hoping to make it look better soon (i have quick acess to owen's ttd stations junctions)

[hectobar]

1. i got the junction finished

2&3. i love invisible bridges!

[Badger]

Sorry, that junction is just horrible. Too many sharp corners, making it slow. Is it neccessary to have access to all routes in all directions? If not you can massively improve that junction.

[hectobar]

only one of those turns isnt necasary. I will try to space it out then.
EDIT: actually they are all needed i missed out one of the trains

[Badger]

Try this, just whipped it up in 5 mins.
