> (or else you may get train crashes): http://wiki.ttdpatch.net/tiki-
> index.php?page=PathBasedSignalling
> 
> Furthermore, Marijn wrote several new features: "windowsnap <dist>" to 
> make windows snap to each other, "newcargodistribution on" to improve the 
> distribution of cargo among two stations serving the same industry, 
> "aichoosechances on" et.al. to set the probabilities with which the AI 
> will attempt to build new services, and last but not least, 
> "custombridgeheads on".  This switch allows you to rearrange the track 
> and road pieces on flat bridge heads.
> 
> In addition, after a large amount of work to get it working right, Oskar 
> was able to change the resolution of TTD's window (in the Windows version 
> only).  Enable this using "resolutionwidth <num>" and "resolutionheight 
> <num>".  The width must be a multiple of 4 (or sometimes 32) or you may 
> get distortions.

> For more information on all of these features, please see the updated

> All changes in 2.0.1 alpha 41:
> - made "unknown bit" a warning, not a fatal error
> - new train callback 1D to check whether vehicle may be attached to
>  current engine
> - (devel) made a few more convenience macro for storeaddress et.al.
>  taking only one or two argument
> - allow action 6 between an action 3 and its override action 3's
> - new experimental feature: path-based signalling
> - new sign cheat "Cht: StopAll" stops all vehicles (except aircraft
>  in flight) or "Cht: StopAll 0" to start them again
> - fixed ttdpatch.cfg comments for switches with no command line
>  switch in Windows version
> - added changes by Marijn:
>  * fixed bug allowing the construction of multiple HQs
>  * new switch "newcargodistribution on" for better distribution
>    of cargo among multiple stations serving an industry
>  * allow docks on flat land (for canals)
>  * new switch "windowsnap <dist>" (-Xz) to make windows snap to
>    each other if moved within the given number of pixels
>    (default 10)
>  * draw coast under bridges over water
>  * new switch "custombridgeheads on" allows rearranging track
>    and road pieces on flat bridge heads
>  * new set of switches to choose the probability with which the
>    AI will attempt to build new routes, enable with
>    "aichoosechances on", then set the individual probabilities
>    with "aibuildrailchance", "aibuildrvchance" and
>    "aibuildairchance", ship routes will be the remainder, with a
>    value of 65535 meaning 100%.
> - (devel) by Marcin: fixed bug in nasm resulting in inefficient code
>  for forward references (new nasm version in source zip)
> - (devel) fixed multipatchcode not working if search offset was
>  negative and fragment not being overwritten
> - fixed incorrect station track types with electrifiedrailways off
> - by Oskar: allow changing the resolution TTD runs in (Windows
>  version only), set it with "resolutionwidth <num>" and
>  "resolutionheight <num>"; in fullscreen TTD must be able to find
>  the corresponding DirectX mode for this to work
