Thanks to the good folks over at the OTTD nightlies server, TTDPatch now has its own set of nightlies available for download as well!

Now you too can live on the cutting edge of the very latest features TTDPatch has to offer! Bored by the stability of the alphas and betas? No more, just download a nightly and you too can experience the latest TTDPatch code in its natural habitat. Crashes and bugs not guaranteed but quite possible, depending on season.

Get them at http://nightly.ttdpatch.net/latest/

Wooo!

*Dance dance dance*

Luckily none of my current WIP Code is available... yet... but... when it is... I hold no responsibility for total system destruction.

Congrats guys

Welcome to the realm of continuous user-annoyance ;p

You obviously don't frequent the TTDPatch mailing lists, or #tycoon very often .

They are with no support (tm)

Does that ever stop people from asking Stupid Questions (tm)?

For those of us that are computer illiterate, would someone be kind enough to describe what each link represents? I can determine that the zipped dos file is for the dos game and the zipped win32 file for the windows game, but tar.bz2, tar.gz, and source (the raw files perhaps)?

Thanks in advance.

Very nice Great work guys

Thanks in advance.

The source (as you would see if you downloaded it), contains all the source code for ttd patch... the files that you need to feed into a compiler to get ttdpatch(w).exe out the other end. *.exe is the raw version, the stuff in the source zip is the nice, 'human editable' stuff

tar.bz2 and tar.gz are just alternatives for .zip, used mainly on linux and such.

Did you really have to jump the bandwagon of nightlies ?

Congrats TTDPatchers Very nice

Does this mean that progression from Beta 4 to Beta 5 and subsequent Betas and stable patchs will take longer to do.

No, it means the builds between the betas are aviable.
But, it also means don't expect them to be very stable, at least not as stable as a beta version.

Generally there is no time table, we try to fix bugs as much as possible and don't integrate much new stuff now.

It means we can get instead feedback for bugfixes and if a version is totally broken by something you can use some other revision or even tell us at what revision something brokes which isn't very obvious sometimes...

Or in other words, you have to test more revisions to find the right wrong gone revision and not the TTDPatch Dev Team

i am getting a crash at the title screen the bug tracker item can be found here

Just remember, the nightlies may eat your computer! If in doubt, hire a grue.

Well, I know that the ttdpatch nightlies are doomish but I get an error saying that my ttd version was not recognized and when I try to continue anyway I get a language error: Failed to find string #02B2 at 0062EFF2, found 00/01 at 00600000. I talked it in #tycoon and I post here because patchman requested configs, so here are mine. r244 nightly.

Yay, nightlies!
I guess the use of these is so that if a bugfix is needed quickly, people don't always have to wait until the next release

Hooray for patchteam, and OTTD team!

Or when we fix a bug or implement a newgrf feature, those that are affected by it can test it before it's in the beta.
