cant adjust servicing interval..

TTdx rocks · Post by **TTdx rocks** » 24 May 2004 18:40

My trains break down constantly now.. its stuck at 16.000days which is a redicilous high number. cant go neither up nor down...

how do i fix that?

This is set that way so the trains don't go to the depot automatically and get confused. You can tell them to go to a depot at a convenient point in their route, by clicking on the depot in the Orders list just as if it were a station. Or you can design the tracks so the trains HAVE to pass through depots on their way.

Do you have the Configurator? This makes it easy to change the settings if you don't like the defaults. For instance I don't use the 16000 setting, I leave it at the default.

why didnt they just make it configurable? I would actually like my trains to have different service intervals.. but thats impossible then i guess

And the only way i can make em pass through the depots automatically is to place em behind stations right?

this was posted before i posted so excuse the double posting, but im too lazy to edit (you cant add a quote as easily when u edit)
it can be configured, just delete the switch from the .cfg, then you can change it in the train properties window

i just tried deleting the

"// `servint' (-i) allows to change the initial service interval for new engines. Range 1..32000. Default 16000.
servint 16000"

from the ttdpatch.cfg but i still cant change it

1) it only happen with new vehicles
2) not delete, only change ! for example (change it from 16000 to 1000)
3) take a look at http://wiki.ttdpatch.net, and into MANUAL ... there is explained everything

It doesn't work that way. Two suggestions:

1. Change it to read "180" (or some other convenient time) instead of 16000
2. GET THE CONFIGURATOR. This gives you a nice slide-bar to easily set it however you please, or disable it entirely.

hmm, where can i download that "configurator". Sounds as it might come in handy

TTdx rocks · Post by **TTdx rocks** » 24 May 2004 19:22

And is it just me or is 16.000 days a completely wacked number?? Thats like 43,xx years.. no trains last that long without a couple of thousand breakdowns

Go to the Patch website and look under Tools.

The Configurator is more than handy, it's essential. It also automatically updates both itself and the Patch, so you're always up-to-date. The only thing it doesn't get for you is updated GRF files, but it announces them to you so you know to go get them.

No, it's a hack - 16,000 days means don't ever automatically go to a depot. That is fine if you set breakdowns to off, or if you've designed your network and orders so the trains get serviced as part of their normal route.

I still don't really see why that switch is set to 16,000 by default, and never did. People may used forced servicing more now, but at least when the switch was introduced, it wasn't that common. And people don't always use it now, anyway. (I don't - perhaps I should, but I don't

).

i now have the configurator, edited service interval to "off", but i still cant individually change my trains service interval

((

Must i select one fixed number for ALL my trains, or..?

TTdx rocks · Post by **TTdx rocks** » 24 May 2004 19:58

now i changed it to 180 in the configurator and saved and i double checked i have right version.. but there still stands 16.000 days..

i got full screen to work though

Either you have to start a new game, or you have to buy a new loco. Try those and see what happens.
