Also our friend Isaac who's apparantly given up trying to merge GPP and CargoDist has pestered me into telling you it doesn't compile for him on Debian Lenny or Windows XP.
I've yet to try patching or compiling myself.

Wouldn't that break the trunk-loadable saving capability?

Probably not.
What you could do is take a copy of trunk, patch it with GPP6, then try to apply the tree growth patch, and if you get a ton of prompts asking if you want to revert, then it's probably already included. And if not, well, you might have a few failed hunks to fix, but you'll have it in there.

That will be the easy bit to do

just wish there was a diff for the save to trunk thing

Well, it's an interesting little feature, I don't think it's ever been done before.
Maybe, for others who want to use it in the own pack/patch, it could be provided?

The error line is in settings_gui.cpp

Code: Select all

assert(this->d.entry.setting != NULL);
any ideas why

Fixed that, thank you for investigation. Hope everything is fine now :)

Tree growth patch is not yet in there, sorry. I was working on top of GPP_17680.

I can confirm it compiles on Ubuntu Jaunty once more, at least.
However, there's a lot of warnings in the language files, and hunk 15 of smallmap_gui.cpp didn't patch correctly.

Time permitting, I might be returning to work on the pack soon, and some new additions will be the tree growth patch, the new version of autoload face, no reliability loss for trains not moving, and possibly also the Grass growth on unused tracks too.

That's if I get time to find those patches, and fix any issues.

dont add in Grass growth on unused tracks becuse last i know it cant be turned off

Also what autoload face is in your pack if any on GPP7

Re: Gremnon's Patch Pack (GPP, r17736)

Autoload face used to be in, but I removed it because all players, even AI companies that started up used the same face.
The new version fixes this, so it may be returning.

As to grass growth, yes you can't turn it off, but you don't really need to. It's just a graphic effect, if your tracks aren't used much, they get a little grass on them, growing more unless trains start using it. It doesn't change anything.

Eeh.... I guess I don't mind much. I was going to do it myself so I could add to my list of notes about what needed to be changed if any parts didn't apply...
Anyway, that list isn't concrete yet. I'm still going through patches and seeing what I might add/remove/update/change

Could you please add me to the project on google code, then I can include win32 binaires?

Where can I find the file? The GoogleGroup does not host it yet, or?

Alain chose to remove it.
I didn't have a problem with his uploading it, but I did mention that I hadn't set the list of patches to update etc in stone.
If you can point out the thread with the patch for the trees, I'll put up a quick update shortly.

So far, the patches definatly coming as well are the autoload face, reliability for stopped vehicles, tree growth and an update for the additional airports, which brings Dubai world Central into the pack.

However, as said before - this list is subject to change, depending on what patches decide to be annoying today.
Requests are, of course, welcome, with the exception of IS and CargoDist, as those will take quite some time to manage.

Great news, thank you! Another interesting patch might be diagonal crossing over roads, but I don't know how that would work. I've seen it as a part of the MiniIn years before.

That's a terribly old, and outdated patch... I agree it would be nice, but there's all kinds of issues with that, not least of which is that there's no graphics available for most road/rail types.

Wishful thinking, but you never know, maybe someone will surprise us all and update it sometime.
