Hi all,

get the latest alpha at http://www.ttdpatch.net/src/

Aside from the usual assortment of bugfixes (in particular removing a
memory leak in the sound subsystem under Windows), there's not too much
new stuff there.

If you've always wanted to know the height of a certain tile, thanks to
stevenh the tile info window will now this information. If you didn't,
you can turn it off with "miscmods.dontshowaltitude on".

I've added support for a second company colour. This needs to be
activated by new .grf files that make use of it though, so you can't
actually see it yet. To choose the second colour, you open the colour
window as usual, but then Ctrl-click on your selection. This will pick
the secondary colour. I hope that eventually there will be a nicer GUI to
do this, but I guess it'll do for now.

In an effort to make the compilation take less time, there's been a major
change to the patch source code. As a result of this, alpha 67 may be
more unstable than usual, although personally I haven't noticed any bugs
(or else I'd have fixed them of course). But please let me know if you
notice anything unusual.

That's it for today, enjoy!

Josef

Josef,

I have just downloaded latestw.zip from there, and it appears to
still contain alpha 66! Am I going insane?

Thanks,

Complain to your ISP that their web cache is broken and/or download it from
dk.ttdpatch.net instead.

Many thanks - got it from the dk address. I cannot imagine
complaining will achieve much with NTL :( (though I am only
paying £9.99/month after all..)

I'm with ntl and had no problem downloading alpha 67 as soon as it was
available. just from standard address not dk.

Oh well, one of life's little mysteries.. It's appearing fine at
the normal address here as well now.
