NewStations, CB18 and AIs

[michael blunck]

NewStations v0.44, originally released for TTDPatch includes code based on CB18 (AI construction/purchase selection) to allow the AI to use the new stations. Regarding ongoing work on v0.50, I have two questions:

1) is CB18 implemented in OTTD? At least for stations?
2) are there any AIs available using CB18 for station building, according to the specs?

ad 1) no idea, but there is AIRail::BuildNewGRFRailStation ( http://noai.openttd.org/api/1.2.3/class ... 2262c8b42f )
ad 2) yes, for example AIAI ( currently there is no newgrf that supports it without bugs, see http://www.tt-forums.net/viewtopic.php? ... 40#p887606 )

yes, CB18 for stations is implemented (CB18 for trains is not)

Afair, AdmiralAI supports it, and probably many others.

The bugs mentioned in that topic are specific to the station NewGRF used, they have nothing to do with the AI.

Hm, AIAI seems to built only standard stations, and even crashes OTTD when trying to build planes ...

Afair, AdmiralAI supports it, and probably many oth

I´m going to try AdmiralAI now.

[edit]
Right, AdmiralAI is building NewStations for passengers.

I am not sure what caused first one, second one should happen only with outdated AIAI and outdated Openttd (bug 5215 - http://bugs.openttd.org/task/5215 ).

Are you sure that you use OpenTTD 1.2.3 and updated your AIs? Can you tell what station newgrf causes problems?

Ah yes, I´m still using 1.2.2 and did not update. BTW, I was unable to reproduce the crash, but this bug report makes it understandable.

Can you tell what station newgrf causes problems?

For this test I was using the old NewStations set (0.42/0.44 whatever). Since it doesn´t contain freight stations, the AIs always built standard stations, because they seemed to like to transport only wood and coal.

I´ll run another test later.
