2.0.1 alpha 42

[Josef Drexler]

Hi all, another quick update at http://www.ttdpatch.net/src/

This one will be the last one this year, I'm going on vacation tomorrow.
So I hope it works rather well :)

It has mostly bugfixes, especially to custombridgeheads and
pathbasedsignalling. Also, wagonspeedlimits now takes a parameter that
sets how much faster empty wagons are allowed to go (20 km/h by default).

The full list of changes is below.

There have also been a number of graphics sets that were updated on the
TTDPatch New Graphics page, namely the TropicSet (now fully compatible
with the latest alpha versions too), the European road set, and the DB
Set XL (now version 0.8, an announcement with further details will follow
shortly), as well as an entirely new set of town buildings by Zimmlock.
Check them out!

Since this will likely be the last thing for me to post before the new
year, I wish everyone a Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year. Enjoy your
early christmas present :D

Josef.


All changes in 2.0.1 alpha 42:
- by Mek: fixed problems with incorrect z offset of vehicles on
custom bridge heads
- by Mek: fixed manualconvert not working with tunnels and bridges
- fixed action 5 with different sprite count not resetting internal
count
- wagonspeedlimits switch now takes a parameter that sets how much
faster empty wagons are allowed to go (20 km/h by default)

- disabled freighttrains setting for the AI
- fixed a bug with tunnels becoming unusable in PBS setups

other causing unsafe pathfinding
- prevent trains from reversing in a PBS block if they can't reserve
a path
- fixed bug with X crossings on bridge heads not setting signals
correctly
- fixed bug with Cht: StopAll accidentally stopping aircraft in
flight too
- fixed bug with trains sometimes not waiting for free station
platforms

I deleted ttdpttxt.txt and ran mkpttxt.exe. My game now no longer
(consequently) crashes with that. The old ttdpttxt.txt was over a year
old(!), but I got no complaints from ttdpatchw.exe.

Hmm, what version of the patch were you using before that? You should've
got at least the message that your ttdpttxt.dat is for the wrong version.

That was alpha 18. I got that message, ran mkpttxt, message gone.

I rerun mkpttxt with EVERY update of the patch, yet I had the same problem.
It's gone now.

Yes, of course. That problem doesn't fix itself other than by following
the instructions in the FAQ.

What concerns me isn't the solution, but the cause of the problem. Do did we
do something wrong? If so, what did we do wrong?

Well, like the FAQ I linked to explains, the format of that line changed
(in 2.0 beta 3). So if you added that line before 2.0 beta 3, and didn't
fix it since then, it would crash.

I didn't edit the file. I guess *that* was the something I did wrong. When I
got 2.0 beta 3, I should have browsed through *all* the old changelogs since
1.9 beta something, trying to find a change in a format in one of the files.

OK, I was being sarcastic. But that doesn't mean that this way of system
change is very user-friendly. Even if it is mentioned in the FAQ (which I
underestimated, I must admit). Anyway, let's hope it was just this once.

Well, I've learned my lesson. It hasn't happened since then... I should've
just renamed that entry at the time, but now it's a bit late anyway.

Hi all, another quick update at http://www.ttdpatch.net/src/

Another thing: the local authority refuses to allow me to remove connected
road that is directly adjacent to a (train) station when using the bulldoze
tool. Dead ends are no problem. Road that is farther away behaves normally.
Dynamite works fine with any piece of road.

And another: my tubular bridge maximum speed is displayed as -46,151kmh-1 for
monorail tracks.
