Have been playing around a bit and so far have only had it (wrong graphics) happen with steamers. Oh and thanks zero1000, I forgot to mention it isn't an April's Fool prank (unless I try the game tomorrow and find everything working properly
)

Some of my trains are showing up as ttd trains instead of dbxl trains. like in the picture attached.
This is not a problem with just the dbxl set, but also with the US set. It seems to occur when I reloaded my save game; as it was fine last night when I was playing.

No, because that'd be a lie. There's nothing like this in the source code, you can check for yourself

Well, it's possible someone talked Oracle and MB into coding their sets to do that. I wonder if the Japanset does the same thing? I'll have to take a look.

I didn't say it wasn't me, just that the source won't show this and therefore the changelog needn't mention it either...

and GRFs does not support reading system date
only TTDPatch could do
Posted: 01 Apr 2005 19:43

GRFs could change when it's April 1st in TTD though

There is a bug in alpha 48 (check attached screenshot)
Why is this train unable to reverse?
- between the station and the PBS block, there is a bridge, without this bridge, everything works fine (pre a48 behaviour)
- the train has the same length as the station/platform, longer and shorter trains may reverse without any problems.

Does the train have orders? Without orders, it won't function in a PBS block.
Posted: 01 Apr 2005 20:55
by kvtb
Yes, it does have orders and this happens in regular games too.

Maybe post or email me a savegame together with ttdpatch.cfg and newgrfw.cfg so I can look at it.
