"Project Generic Stations" Thread

Seperarte GRF's all the way, as long as new versions share the same filenames as the ones they are replacing.

I also say keep the basic platforms in the set, as they are the most generic type of station possible. The bare platform tiles? Keep them in the set too, for sake of convenience, but perhaps have the grf avaliable seperatly, in case someone *only* wants them.*

*Reminds me of the fact that I only want to use DanMacK's short North American buses, but for some reason I have to load every single LV grf for them to load in the first place. But thats OT, so lets not discuss that here, it's just me describing my problem that would result if the bare grf stayed only in the set.

Sperate grfs, would probably be best, so users can choose which stations they want.
Also could you change the grf id of ether silverline stations or freight stations, since the have the same grf id.

When your site is ready, I'll take down mine. Actually I should probably just take it down as it's so obsolete.

Perhaps convert it to "North American Industries"?

Well, logically that would stay with the US set master site, I think. Of course if Dan does a Canadian website, then he'd link to it, maybe just directly to the file for convenience.

Scenario: Canarctic Transport made a gold discovery and built a rail link to exploit it. They built a station with a suitable main building. The CEO took pictures, then saved them and went home for the night.
Issue: The CEO came back next day looking forward to getting into the gold game. Something was not quite right. Somebody had messed with his perfectly good main building. The foreman said it wasn't him nor any of the miners. He blamed it on the natives in the hills. The CEO wasn't buying any of that and thought it was some kind of union stunt. He called his lawyers and sent them a package with a couple of pictures and some files (cfg's and savegame mostly). The lawyers are forwarding the stuff to you looking for answers to get the CEO off their backs.
Relative Points: Occurs in both a57 and a58 and is repeatable. Latest pgs files pgs-pre3w.zip from Aug 27, 2005 were used

EDIT: Whoever put the 3 attachment limit on this thing just ruined a perfectly good edit. Now you have to go to my next post.

This is my next post referred to in the edit in my previous post.

Upon further investigation as suggested by some guy named patchman, the CEO started turning off and on a bunch of grf's.

Lo and behooold! Lookie lookie what he found. Two ... yes folks! That's right! Not one! but two! (I hope its a limited time offer). Turn off one grf and get the other one free. Your choice! Want freight off? We'll throw in Silverline. Want Silverline off? We'll throw in freight. Sorry! This offer is limited to those two items only. OK to send cash by mail. My brother-in-law works at the post office.

Are you possibly using the DOS version?

Hey Dan

Don't think so ... pgs-pre3w.zip should be windows
patchman confirmed its a case of duplicate id's

Aegir · Post by **Aegir** » 31 Aug 2005 09:14

Nonono, thats my screw up, duplicate id's. The stations work fine, and then you reload and BAM. You get slapped about.

Here is a fixed version (My latest working files

, also with the crack bug fixed. Windows version only, I've gotta do homework in a sec and I ain't got time to compile a new dos version of all my .lst's.

lol. Good work on the swift response, Aegir. Keep up the good work.

When you get the chance, you'll be posting a proper ZIP version?

Aegir · Post by **Aegir** » 31 Aug 2005 12:34

Not this again, if you cant open .rars. Get WinRAR.

Relativly simple, and WinRAR is a supperior program and will decompress almost every single archiving format known. Including the Linux (.tar, .gz, .bz2) and Mac (.sit) standards.

And yeah, when I get the chance a proper release. But all in good time...

WinRAR isn't freeware is it?

Patchman · Post by **Patchman** » 31 Aug 2005 13:44

I don't know, but 7-Zip is, and it supports all kinds of compression formats, including .zip, .rar and its own .7z.

you can use WinRAR as much as you want, like WinZIP it display small window after 30days where you need to press ok

WinRAR supports 7zip archives to

I am using WinRar for a very long time, the best archiver

Born Acorn · Post by **Born Acorn** » 01 Sep 2005 14:12

Yeah, RAR files are pretty much better than zip files. More compression.

anyway, to not-incur Aegirs morning wrath, I fixed the big warehouses.
