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)
- fixed bug with trains not entering depot properly
- by Csaba: fixed bug that could cause the game to hang if some
  house graphics were not available
- disabled freighttrains setting for the AI
- fixed a bug with tunnels becoming unusable in PBS setups
- fixed a bug with signals on one track piece on a tile but not the
  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
- fixed bug with depots occasionally not working in PBS blocks
- fixed bug with refit cycle on new vehicles not being reset
- fixed crash when LA forbids building a dock
- fixed crash when loading some savegames
- fixed problem with rotor override not getting reset correctly

My game consequently crashes when trying to open the information window for a 
road vehicle.

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.

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.

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.
