roest's patch pack v9 (r13019)

[Roest]

This is just my personal patch pack. It contains stuff i like or did myself to see how things work. I share it so people who like to play with YAPP or copy&paste can also play and test the latest trunk and give me feedback on my patches. I'll keep this up to current trunk and maybe add interesting patches as long as i don't lose interest in ottd.

Right now it contains:

YAPP v7
Copy&Paste (you need the copypaste.grf from that thread)
Better Graphs
drag'n'drop land purchase
Shape Towns DayLength
Distant-join-stations
New GRF gui
Minimum Town Distance
middle stop (trains shorter than the station stop at the middle of the platform)
Timetables
Quick Goto
Routing Restriction
Advanced Terraform
Filter by Cargo
Close Airports

extra patch with
pax dest (will not work in multiplayer)

Disclaimer: Old save games and scenarios will not work. Chances are even save games from earlier versions of this patch pack
will not work. Due to the nature of these patches and their untested coexistence the game may crash. Use at your own risk.

Windows binary with pax dest here

I added daylength to it and tested it. It created like 4 autosaves per minute. Is that a known behavior?

[zypa]

You can change the autosave behaviour.
In the game settings.

Old std is: "once per month"
with the daylengh patch it is once per day. With daylengh = 1 that is really much.

[Roest]

Ok i added it to the first post. Didn't update the binary tho.

[zypa]

I'd be really nice if someone would upload a binary of the v2 patch

[Roest]

I'd be really nice if someone would upload a binary of the v2 patch

and i keep on adding. You even get v3 with distant-join-stations

[satosphere]

Thank you.
Thank you.

I have been waiting for somebody to put both Yapp, distant join stations together.

I always liked the New/Better graphs present in a previous patchpack, but I'd almost forgotten about their usefulness. Thanks for updating and sharing!

If it's not asking too much, would it be possible to include the Timetable based separation patch and RouteMarkers patch? They're quite handy for keeping your mainline evenly loaded while automatically sorting the slow freighttraffic into seperate lanes to let expresstrains by.

[DanMacK]

Persoally I'd opt for the minimum distance between towns patch Saves having clumps of towns 3 tiles apart
otherwise, awesome

Nice to see an up-to-date pack again! However a few things... It would be nice if you linked to the patch-threads in the 1st post, makes it easy to jump around and read about the different patches. Also would be nice if you could add an on/off if there are some patches I dont like/wanne use in the pack. And last but not least, if you update any of the patches, would be really really nice if you could post the updated patches somewhere, especially for those of us who wants to make our own build with just some of the patches used here. Besides that, nice work! Hope you keep it up for a long time, many have been missing it since Gonozal stopped updating his pack!

I never figured out how to make stuff linked with these boards. Other than the standard url tag and that looks ugly. Maybe it's url="something", i gonna try that some day.

Also would be nice if you could add an on/off if there are some patches I dont like/wanne use in the pack.

What do you mean? My patches usually have that option. Adding it for every other patch is too much work.

And last but not least, if you update any of the patches, would be really really nice if you could post the updated patches somewhere, especially for those of us who wants to make our own build with just some of the patches used here.

What i did was adding every patch to a build and not bringing every single patch to a recent rev first. That's a big mess now and will make future updating harder. I plan to redo it from scratch later today.

[Trond]

I think:

Code: Select all

works like this

I understand your views as it is kinda hard I guess, atleast for me with limited coding skills.

Good luck on the updating

Those two patches a pretty ancient too. However you might get this one.

[razielanarki]

actually the timetable based separation patch is quite easy to integrate and works better in my opinion, for r12630 (besides resolving conflicts with tortoisemerge) i only had to change direct member accesses to getters in two instances because two members of the order class got flagged as private since the patch was released

maybe i should try and update the diff to a more recent build when i'll have some spare time later

edit: (i hope magicbuzz doesnt mind but) i've updated his patch to r12784.
should i post it here or bump its own thread from page 3?

[sickie]

I'd say it's better if you bump his post, so others interested in it, but not interested with this yet another patch pack, will see the update.

What works better about it? I can't change anything if no-one tells me what they want to change...

[Roest]

updated to 12784, now with minimum town distance and middle stop

nothing seroius, i think it just comes down to personal taste
yours exchanges automatic separation for more fine grained contol, which i dont need usually
