Fixed! Here's the official announcement:
This very quick update is because alpha 41 had a pretty serious bug, it crashed if you loaded a game after saving another game. Actually, the crash won't happen unless the game loaded has the right climate for the last .grf file in newgrf.txt to become active, but that's the case almost always.
So alpha 42 fixes that crash, and also introduces an option back into the "plantmanytrees" patch. You can now tell it to keep adding more trees to the same tile using the rectangular tree planting (either by Ctrl or the sign cheat). To do this, add 4 to the parameter for plantmanytrees.
This means plantmanytrees now has the following options:
1=allow adding trees to tile with existing tree
2=plant rectangular area with ctrl
4=for rectangular plant (ctrl or sign cheat), try to plant tree in every square even if tree is there already
Just add the numbers for the option you want together, and that's what you put instead of the "on" in "plantmanytrees on". For example, "plantmanytrees 5" enables the first and third option. The default is
the first and second option only.
I've also updated the euro.zip download at the source code page. In this updated version, it will just skip the DOS version .grf file if it can't be found, instead of aborting. It will also work properly in the newer versions of Windows which sometimes don't pass the full filename to the program being run. If adding the Euro character didn't work for you, just try downloading euro.zip again, and run the euro.exe which is contained.
All changes in 1.9.1 alpha 42 (May 6, 2003)
