2.0.1 alpha 66

[Josef Drexler]

Hi all,

the latest alpha version is as usual at http://www.ttdpatch.net/src/

Aside from the usual assortment of bug fixes and other minor improvements
(see below for the full list), Steven Hoefel has written a new switch.
With "followvehicle on", you can right-click on the "eye" icon of any
vehicle window to have the main view follow that vehicle just like the
vehicle view does. You can even close the vehicle window. To cancel the
"follow" mode, right-click the main view, press "c", or click on the "eye"
icon of any vehicle window.

Enjoy!

Josef.

This version is tottaly buggy. Sprite errors. Loss of Alpine
climate and Mars landscape... Who is responsible for this?

<Ty_Coon> Why is a66 so buggy?
<PatchMan> Hey, I have to discover all bugs myself (and guess how
unlikely this is) since all people that care to comment on TTDPatch
either want a useless feature implemented or ask a stupid question.

My nickname is "orudge" elsewhere, I'm afraid. ;-)
