In patch r1141 I don't have any trains listed in the train list.

Attatched picture, save game and config.

try turning on sort vehicle list, then resize you window.

Minor bug with JGR's build on slopes for bridges feature. When adding a bridge that is higher that 1 level (i.e. 2 or more levels) and raising water tiles under said bridge, once a square is completed the square turns into a canal piece. Using r1159.

you missed this bug, my regular bug with bridges, shows quite well with the water replacement .grf

The bug with raising water underneath a higher bridge becoming a canal tile has been fixed and committed, and will be available in the next nightly.

The bug with a coast slope appearing under a higher bridge when the bridge end tile is adjacent to a coast tile on the SW or SE side, appears to be a generic higher bridges graphical glitch.
I don't have time to look deeply into it now, except to say that Cht: Landinfo didn't reveal anything wrong with the landscape arrays that I noticed, that might cause the bug.

I have to pack, as I am off to Norway to visit relatives for a week tomorrow, and will subsequently be less active in the bug-fixing department...

That´s indeed a bug with higherbridges since a long time.

In the current nightly after some time a road-vehicles will stop leaving depods.
If you start them the drive ab bit (you'll see an edge of the rv in the depod) but will not go to the road.

Have get this behavior in another depod and in another (new) game.

Save is attachted.

Turn off Articulated RVs till I have time to delete the code.

The latest nightly has a new sign cheat which allows control of the parameters used in the land generator. Place a sign with "Cht: LandGen" followed by three numbers to set the three parameters. Leave off the numbers to go back to the usual parameters controlled by the difficulty settings.

The first number is the "delta height", which indicates how mountainous the map will be. Bigger means more mountains, with useful values for example 5, 10, 15 or 20.

The second number is the "trunc height" which determines the amount of water. Larger means more water, and it should increase with a larger delta height, with useful values being for example 20, 30 or 40.

The third one is the source patch size which controls the roughness. The larger it is, the rougher the map will be, with 18 being the maximum.

And to show what "20 40 18" looks like, see the attachment.

I should probably mention that this is rather experimental. It's possible to crash or hang TTDPatch when using combinations of parameters that don't make sense. As for what those are, I don't yet know. Fortunately, when you're generating landscapes there's not much information to lose when it crashes or hangs...

So far, it seems that as long as the first number is not too large, and the second one is larger than the first, you get decent landscapes.

Crash: if you use Cht: LandGen 1 2 2 or Cht: LandGen 2 1 2 and start a new map the game crashes. ttdpatch.cfg and latest crash attached.

Edit: WTF! There isn't any crashlog in my TTDPatch folder. Strange! Maybe another bug of beta 9.

Patchman · Post by **Patchman** » 02 Nov 2006 17:48

Well, like I said it's experimental and likely to crash or hang, so I'm not too concerned about that yet.

This isn't so much about making all possible combinations work but rather for finding "interesting" combinations that make nice maps, so that they can perhaps be added to the land generator directly. So there's not much point in reporting values that break the generator, I'm more interested in values that generate nice maps.

10 55-65 10 seems quite a nice island generator, with land tapering off to a few small rocks in the sea

habell · Post by **habell** » 03 Nov 2006 10:56

Since versie 2.5 beta 8 (also in beta 9) the AI can't remove rails from under bridges.
As far as I know, this wasn't a problem before the 2.5 beta's.
I'll try to figure out what the problem is.
It may even be related to the fact that I use a save-game from beta 6, which causes this problem.
I'll get back to ya.

10 20 10 is nice.

Hello TTD fans...
I would like to be a part of this, so I´ve downloaded the latest nightly patch version (r1177) and couldn´t be able to run it. In a pic bellow you can see an error message I get every time trying to play the game.
Does it make any sence to You

Patchman · Post by **Patchman** » 03 Nov 2006 22:28

Please post screenshots as png (or gif if you must), other formats like tiff are not generally supported by browsers.

Anyway, the answer to your question is on the site where you downloaded the nightly.

eli74 · Post by **eli74** » 03 Nov 2006 22:29

Fair enough, Patchman

eli74 · Post by **eli74** » 04 Nov 2006 19:39

I got the game running end even got the trainlist working the way it´s supposed to but I have problem with the gameplay stuttering. Game itself stutters a lot. I must mention that this happenes only with the newest nightly patch. How am I supposed to fix this one?
Thanks in advance…
