Seaplanes and sea airports

[Sarin]

I've seen talking about it somewhere around, is there some GRF around with it?

[cmoiromain]

to use sea ports you need to have richk67's airport patch, plus the airport grf he gives with it. For the sea plane itself, I've seen a GRF with a sea plane on a thread (don't remember which though; use the search function to find it)

[Sarin]

err, where can I find that patch? And, what specific GRF got seaplanes too? I kinda don't like forum archeology....

Look for newairports or something like that in development section. For seaplane: http://www.tt-forums.net/viewtopic.php? ... a&start=20. It's somewhere there.

[Sarin]

Aw. I found 2 seaplanes so far, but it might be enough

But, I found newairports thread...and after going through it, it seems like that sea airport is availble via airportsextended.grf. But I haven't found it...

You need to get everything ( patch and grfs ) from svn. Everything is in the thread.

[Sarin]

awch. How can I get it? I'm running on Linux now...

To install SVN see: http://subversion.tigris.org/

To learn how to use it: see above

OpenTTD repository is available at: svn://svn.openttd.org

Notes on compiling OpenTTD under Linux are here: http://wiki.openttd.org/index.php/GNU/Linux (also how to install SVN)

Thanks. Gonna get it later then. While waiting, I managed to find link at zip with some earlier windows version of newairports (it was in that topic with seaplanes), and managed to run it via Wine...

[richk67]

You need to add seaplaneport.grf to your NewGRF selection. By default it is in the /bin/data directory of the .svn.

Allright, thanks. Looks like there's a need for a seaplane grf...gonna take a look and MAYBE I can draw something when I have time...but I can't code.

[richk67]

There are a couple of experimental seaplane .grfs kicking about. One for a Be200 (ask Grigoriy for it), and another for a Boeing 314. There is also a Shorts Sunderland somewhere.

[Sarin]

Yea, that's 3. To make it really usable it needs at least 12. Gonna try to find and draw one or two, and IF it's good I'll make a list and draw hydroplanes for whole 1930-2050 era...and hope someone will code it.

[athanasios]

Good Luck then.

[Sarin]

Thanks. Gonna find out if I can do it....
