Cool server pack. Why is it labeled "Hard server compilation"? Anyone in the OpenTTD Development forum should already know how to compile.

[bigos]

Heh you misunderstood my intention Its (my) compilation of patches that makes game harder OK changed title. Its understandable now?

[petert]

Oh ok, I understand now. By the way, I think IS2.0 will be updated soon.

Peter
PS I'm on the server now

[bigos]

Added new patch to pack, merged with trunk (r17944) and made new version (0.8 ) of game. Patch and binaries can be downloaded from first post or my web site.

BTW changed starting loan on my server to 200 000 pounds so start will be easier. Still is high chance that you will bankrupt later

[bigos]

New version of pack - 0.9.

Included IS 2 and new version of Improved Property Maintenance. Merged with trunk (r17982). Binaries and patch file can be downloaded from first post or my site.

[bigos]

Unfortunately last version was unplayable... to much cost with to low income. Now should be better. Version 0.9.1

[petert]

Included IS 2

Woohoo! That's nice that it's back in the pack .

[bigos]

Since there was mayor bug in IPM patch I made new version of game - 0.9.2.
Files are in first post.

[petert]

Wow, new versions almost daily. Maybe you should wait until there are more changes to be made, and include a changelog.

[bigos]

When game have bug wich crush game there is no point to wait for more changes... I will think about changelog.

[petert]

I will think about changelog.

That will be very useful, thanks

Awesome pack and the patches that charge for maintenance are IMO something that you think would have been done ages ago but finally a solution. I would play a game with this pack on my own as these particular patches make the game so much more realistic and fun. Only thing that stops me playing with this is that it doesn't have the stop closing industries patch which stops all the intended industrial areas closing down even when they are serviced well but I guess that would make things easier in this hard difficulty patch pack

Again great work and thanks for sharing.

[bigos]

Thx
About closing industries - I'm using ECS vectors with parameters that forbid closing industries if they are serviced by player. Join my server [PL][BIGOS PACK] ECS / 1870-2150 if you would like to play with others

New (hope its stable) version of my patch pack - 1.0. Updated few patches and merged with trunk (r18047). Ah and added changelog but only on site. Maybe I should in pack too Files can be downloaded from first post or my site.

[petert]

Is there an easy way to take a patch out? Perhaps make the patch do the opposite of what its intended for? (Take out the added lines of code, add the deleted lines of code?)

[bigos]

Depends on patch and how many others patches use same files. I dont know easy way to do it. Only manually line by line. Better take other patches and compile without that one you don't want.

This is a great patch pack, being able to play infrastructire sharing with cargo destinations creates very interesting games (especially if you cheat and play all the companies yourself). However, I can't play any existing scenarios due to (I think) a savegame bump, anyone know a way around this?

[petert]

Depends on patch and how many others patches use same files. I dont know easy way to do it. Only manually line by line. Better take other patches and compile without that one you don't want.

I was actually hoping to try to get Infrastructure Sharing and CargoDist by themselves, but removing line-by-line gave me thousands of errors.

[bigos]

Then patch game with those 2 patches. there is only few errors to resolve but they are easy to guess.
