Hi all, 

I've finally released the first version of TTDPatch that officially 
supports new station graphics.  You can get is as usual at 
http://www.ttdpatch.net/src/

As you've read in Michael's announcement, the first new station graphics 
file is available as well, at http://www.ttdpatch.net/newgrf.html .

To use the new station graphics, set "newstations on" in your 
ttdpatch.cfg, download the graphics and put them in newgrf(w).cfg.  Then 
you can use the yellow arrows in the station construction window to 
choose the graphics selection.  The top arrows will select the station 
class (at the moment, regular or waypoints), and the bottom arrows select 
the individual graphics within that class.

Note that the new station graphics may not be active by default in 
existing savegames.  If the arrows are grayed out, try opening the 
graphics status window from the tools menu and enable the new stations 
there.

As for using waypoints, if you build a station using the signal-boxes (or 
waypoints), then that station will become a pure waypoint.  That is, it 
will never receive or accept cargo, and trains will not stop there, even 
if you don't use the non-stop command or the "nonstop on" switch of the 
patch.  Also, these waypoints will not reduce your local authority rating 
for being unserviced stations.

Now have fun playing with the new stations!  The next alpha version will 
probably take a bit longer since I'm going on vacation the next two 
weeks.

Josef.


All changes in 2.0.1 alpha 25:
- added format attribute to error message functions to let gcc check
  the printf-like arguments
- fixed bug in text-ID version of action 4 overwriting semi-random
  texts
- fixed bug in changing new station class names; text-ID is now C1xx
- fixed bug with wrong display of built stations
- fixed bug with apply button/resetvehicles clearing new stations
- waypoints within a town's transport zone no longer reduce the LA
  rating
- fixed bug with train wagons sometimes keeping power of previously
  sold engine
- modified station action 2 and 3 to be like vehicles; supports
  cargo types and different amounts
- new property 10 for stations to set cargo amount for which we
  switch from "little" cargo to "lots of" cargo
- can now distinguish regular and pseudo-sprites and show error
  message for wrong type instead of crashing
- fixed callback 10 not using the right default value if it fails
- make sure station graphics are refreshed when changing cargo (from
  industry or vehicle), when changing rating and/or maybe only when
  aging cargo
- actions 2, 3 now check that the ids they refer to are already
  defined and display error otherwise
- road vehicle acceleration back at alpha 23 settings
- adjusted default bus powers
