Some features missing that were in TTDpatch

[Carskick]

Hey!

I am a long time TT fan. I've been playing it since the 486 days. I recently began epxerimenting with TTD patch, then found OpenTTD, and I love the idea. Since it is not restricted as patching is, you guys can make the AI smarter, including competitors and train drivers, which I reccomend, though I see you have a new train pathfinding algorithm which I haven't experimented much with. I just downloaded it today, but there are a few things missing (or maybe I just can't find them) that I loved in TTDpatch and are now gone:

1. Fast planes
2. Vehicles don't outdate and disapear
3. High Bridges
4. Realistic acceleration for ALL vehicles
5. Real vehicle names

Other suggestions:
1. game remembers patch settings, game configs, and difficulty settings from the last load up. Rechanging them is a pain.

These should be adjustable in the patch config

All in all, you guys did a great job, and I, like many appreciate your work and hope to see great things for openTTD in the future. Good luck!

Hi

Just as a note:

1) Fast planes will be needed with bigger maps latest. Either someone else will do it, or me. But I'll wait till the map rewrite has been done.

2) That's a nice feature, I think it should be implemented one day.
3) High bridges DO work
4) A agree that the acceleration should be rewritten sooner or later. I'll keep that in mind.
5) There might be issues using real names, but I'm not sure

6) The game DOES remember those settings for me

1. Fast planes

When we have bigger maps, speed will be improved and plane acceleration will be slowed down. They accelerate too fast as it is now. I would like to see a standard speed unit, so 10 mph is the same nomatter what type of vehicle it is. Right now it and RV driving 20 mph drives the same speed as a train driving 40 mph

2. Vehicles don't outdate and disapear

write a patch for this then

3. High Bridges

It's there

4. Realistic acceleration for ALL vehicles

it will be there ..... someday. Let's get it to work properly for trains first

5. Real vehicle names

That one is easy. Edit english.txt (in lang folder) to get them right and upload that on SF

Other suggestions:
1. game remembers patch settings, game configs, and difficulty settings from the last load up. Rechanging them is a pain.

it writes config settings to openttd.cfg. If it do not create that, you have a permission problem

3. High Bridges

The funny thing is that OpenTTD had Hiigher Bridges before TTDpatch did.

Hey!

2. Vehicles don't outdate and disapear

I think this can be activated by setting

Code: Select all

never_expire_vehicles=true

in the patches section of openttd.cfg.

I wrote a patch for settings_gui.c and submitted it to sf.net.

to be honest I first seen higher bridges in TTDPatch,later in OTTD ... (probably because I was testing hgher bridges before their release in TTDPatch)

That could be the case, because Oskar started work on Higher Bridges for TTDpatch quite a while ago. Basically this feature was developed independently in both OpenTTD and TTDPatch.
