Hi, The latest alpha is available at the usual place, http://www.ttdpatch.net/src/ I've put a lot of work into making articulated engines work properly, and I believe everything should work right now, including multiheaded articulated engines, moving the individual engines around and building and selling trains. What doesn't work is reversing articulated engines and dual-heading them (as opposed to multi-heading), but there are no sets which requires this at the moment so I'll fix it later. One other change is something that Marijn submitted months ago but I totally forgot to include in the patch: it allows you to build canals at sea-level. These sea-level canals have dikes too and thus won't flood into adjacent tiles, unlike regular sea-level water. In other news, I'm going to be moving to a new city over the course of the next one or two weeks. This means I won't be working on the patch during that time, and it will also mean that the mailing lists will only be working sporadically. If you send requests to subscribe/unsubscribe or postings to the lists, please be prepared to wait a few hours or a day or two to see them appear. It may take two weeks for the lists to become fully functional again. For the same reason, the archives will be out of date until I'm done moving. Sorry about that! Josef. All changes in 2.0.1 alpha 31: - grf status window now also shows memory usage - newstation var 42 gives tile and terrain type - fixed bug with wagons getting lost when selling articulated multihead - fixed bug with selling & buying setting cargo types that the newly bought vehicle didn't support - fixed bug with copying orders also copying veh.name and cargo type (etc.) - fixed incorrect power, weight and TE of articulated engines - fixed bug with vehicles in "unattached" rows in depots sometimes not showing the right graphics - fix crash when AI tries to sell dualheaded train - show articulated loco on a single line in train details - newgrfcfg entry is written to ttdpatch.cfg commented out if it's set to the default - new action 0 feature 6 to modify bridge sprite tables - by Marijn: canals built at sealevel show dikes too and don't flood into adjacent sealevel tiles -- Josef Drexler | http://publish.uwo.ca/~jdrexler/ ---------------------------------+--------------------------------------- Please help Conserve Gravity | Email address is *valid*.

Does this also mean that you can force the correct building of multiple units? eg, a dual-headed train with a set number of indivisible coaches / vans in the middle?

Yes. However, then the user won´t have free choice between passenger coaches or mail vans ... Michael

Of course. :o) Michael

Indeed. I think it's a crying shame that the playing area cannot be made larger (I'm not for one moment criticising the Patch team! I fully understand the reason for the current limit!). Then cities could be of a more realistic scale, with separate mail / goods terminals, with dedicated mail services (not that I don't try to do that anyway, but it'd be more fun on a bigger scale!)

Apparently it had it in earlier versions, but it was buggy so at the moment it has been removed. I think they are planning to have another go later on. -- Tom Cumming New to this newsgroup?

Yes, there have been a few ways of doing it so far, but they were really just hacks. A proper, stable rework of the whole game landscape arrays (which control just about everything on the map) is being done, which will allow future expansion. -- Owen Rudge http://www.owenrudge.net/ MSN Messenger: owen@owenrudge.net ICQ: 125455765
