What does it do, gamewise?

[Ammler]

Not obvious? Hmm.

Well, it makes the Lumber Mill from the tropic climate accessable in the other climates.

This NewGRF is just a preview version, I am interested to see, if such a GRF would be usefull and what "Options" you would like...

Actually I like the idea. Having a Lumber mill is good means to stop trees growing all over the map and having you end up with a map which consists of urban area, water, tracks and a wood which never seems to have seen a human being for eons.

An idea is to set the wood chuck search radius via a grf option.

[Purno]

Not obvious? Hmm.

Not for someone who barely plays tropic.

[Gremnon]

I think I might experiment a little with this one...
Once I finally finish my current game.

[jacke]

Neat

Not very related to this topic, but making the paper mill and printing works, plus the paper cargo, appear in the tropics would be nice too...hmm

[FooBar]

Very nice, Ammler! I always liked the lumber mill, but usually prefer temperate some of the grfs I like are intended only for that climate. Please add this to grfcrawler (if you haven't done so already), so that I can find this again as soon as I've fixed up my computer.

[Doorslammer]

Nice. Just what the tree doctor ordered.

I noticed a very minor error...

Oh aye. Top drawer mate.

Ammler, this is a really nice addition to Temperate and Subarctic forests.

Perhaps it could increase production (by factor 2) and with it also amount of trees it "axes".

[Ammler]

Perhaps it could increase production (by factor 2)

just add a 2. LumberMill

with it also amount of trees it "axes".

The cutting is "hardcoded" in the source and should be changed to random choser not radial... (for temperate and arctic)

Hi all,

Just here to report a problem with the lumber mill grf, i'm using OTTD r14575, and my GRF configuration is as appears in the linked thread...

http://www.tt-forums.net/viewtopic.php?f=31&t=40469

Basically it appeared to interfere with livestock road-vehicles, with or without the eGRVTS road-set. At first i didn't realise that eGRVTs required in-line depots for many vehicles so i had problems getting them to go to various destinations, but even once i removed eGRVTS my livestock vehicles, from any set, wouldn't go to even in-line stations. Only when i removed the lumber mill GRF did they work correctly, with or without eGRVTS...

All savegames/scenarios and full description of error are at above link... I just thought i'd better report this problem in the lumber mill thread

Cheers

JCB

How should a .grf with only 7 bytes of real code do any harm?

Seriously, I doubt that. And indeed it works OK in TTDPatch both for train and truck livestock transport.

The only bug I found was a typo in the name of that .grf.

Hmmm, possibly just OTTD having a grumble with my savegame then, reasonable to think seen as i've loaded and unloaded GRFs into it so many times trying to work out what was wrong. I will start the scenario again, with all the GRFs mentioned in above linked thread, and the lumber mill and see what happens

Cheers


Edit: OK, yep seems to work correctly now. Thanks for help in both threads

[Ammler]

Just uploaded final version of my little GRF... check first post.

Not so fast
I've been wanting this in Temperate for a very long time and now its here. Thank you very much.
Now here is a suggestion for that final touch of excellence:
Several grf files now allow for snow in Temperate. How about a snowy version of that little gem?

[michael blunck]

[...] How about a snowy version [?]

And the regular saw mill sprites in temperate?
