Not able to show up new vehicle names

Matthew Lee · Post by **Matthew Lee** » 02 Oct 2006 15:11

Hi,
I just downloaded the TTDpatch 2.5 beta 8 with Long Vehicles version 4 graphics. When i load old games i was able to see the vehicles with there appropriate names (e.g. Neoplan skyliner) but when I open a new game, no matter in which year i started the game, the vehicle names are all shown to be the original names (?of that ID) of the default names. E.g. a neoplan skyliner graphic would have the name of say 'Wizzowow Mail Truck'. How could i change the vehicles back to their appropriate names?

Thank you very much.

Try giving LV4.grf more priority in the loading list.

I've put LV4w.grf to my last order in the newgrf.cgf file already. But the problem is still there. I suppose by putting it to the last line it would be given a first priority is it?

Do i need to use say TTDalter or to change the names of individual vehicles one by one in the game?

Wrong bet

. Move the file to the top of the list.

well, i've tried to move Lv4w.grf to top of list and even deleted Lv3 sets. But my buses still have names of balough coal truck e.g. Is there anything that i should change in the default of the file or game to see those real names?

Make sure you haven't selected custom vehicle names in the game options

I have the same problem with my new game! None of the vehicles are presented with their names - only TTDLX original names - which btw doesn't even fit the behicles in question.

I haven't reported it before though as I haven't been bothered by it! I mean, I know what vehicle I'm buying regardless of the name is "Toyish Toyish", but as others are reporting I might as well do the same!

oh and it happened in beta 8
using: r1137

I'm using beta 8 too - although no nightly!

I've seen this on the bug tracker too, but I can't reproduce it.

It may be due to a translation grf loaded after the vehicle set. Try putting the vehicle set at the bottom of your newgrfw.cfg, if that helps then it's another grf that's interfering with the names.

Otherwise, please post your newgrfw.cfg, ttdpatch.cfg as well as the size of your ttdloadw.ovl in bytes (should be one of 1695744, 1696256, 1699328, 1707008 or 1707520.

Well, I tried to put the LV4 both on top and at the bottom, but it made no difference! However, it made me realize that the German Tram set prevents LV4 from loading at all if put first!

Still, not related to the vehicles names though!

I've attached the files you requested below, and the size of the TTLOAD.OVL is 1 695 744 bytes!

OK, I'm afraid I still can't reproduce the bug.

Can you try if it works if LV4 is the only file in your newgrfw.cfg?

Here's a hint ... look at the language IDs used; I had a similar problem with the CanSet with a language ID from graphics version 6, that would not want to work with graphics version 7.

Nope, using only LV4 and nothing else didn't make any difference at all!

Is this the issue - whatever it is?

id like to report that i am also getting names switched to custom every single time i sort any sort of game... i will upload any data you need, should you request it

DaleStan · Post by **DaleStan** » 24 Oct 2006 09:29

I doubt it. The LangID bytes in LV4w.grf all look fine to NFORenum, and the ones I checked personally look fine to me too. (The ones I saw were: 7F, 07, FF, 80, 82, 83, 84, and 87)

OzTransLtd, I think you'll have to be more descriptive about that problem.

i just solved my problem...

see if you have VEHICLE.DAT in your ttd folder, if yes, deleting it should do the trick (although you will lose your custom names instead of just having normal names as default)

SAC · Post by **SAC** » 24 Oct 2006 10:21

I don't have a VEHICLE.dat in my folder, so that won't do it!

Patchman · Post by **Patchman** » 24 Oct 2006 15:50

Do you have ttdpttxt.dat? Try renaming/deleting that.
