Hi all,
after a long wait, I've released another alpha version as usual at
http://www.ttdpatch.net/src/
This one has an amazing new feature by Steven Hoefel: trams! Enable them
with "trams on", load the new tram track graphics and build them. Then
wait for a grf set that actually defines trams... hopefully it shouldn't
take too long. Note that this is still a work in progress, and while most
things work, in particular level crossings with rail as well as bridges
and tunnels don't work entirely.
In other news there were a bunch of minor bug fixes and changes, such as
allowing vehicle lists to be sorted by the first destination, and allowing
trucks to go to non-stop bus stops (which can be built by attaching a bus
stop to a rail waypoint, and if you like removing the waypoint afterwards).
There may be one more alpha version this year depending on how things turn
out, and then I will probably start the beta process towards a new stable
release version in the new year.
Enjoy!
Josef
All changes in 2.0.1 alpha 68:
- prevent performance score from overflowing when it would be >255
- (devel) fixed reported numbers when search failed
- (devel) changed variables to new var{b,w,d} macro
- automatically pick cargo type for vehicle from refittability list if
default cargo type is not available
- by stevenh: fixed vehicle view window being scrollable
- by stevenh: added action D var 9E bit 0, enables desert revegetation
- enabled finnish translation again (accidentally left out of alpha 67)
- (devel) removed multi-climate scenariocargo and cargotypes arrays
- fixed grf error messages reporting wrong error sprite number
- added list of current text IDs to crash log
- initial support for UTF-8 texts, although currently only the existing
character set is supported

- added sorting by first destination to vehicle list
- allow trucks to go to non-stop bus stops
- (devel) added player2 array to store additional player data in savegame
- actually save 2nd CC selection, and prepared for more colour schemes
- by stevenh: new switch "trams on" enables building tram and light rail
tracks and operation of trams
- by Csaba:
* (devel) added comments to newindu.asm

Is it possible, that cities build tram tracks instead of roads? It sure looks like it: http://www.dereff.de/aha.png And note, that there is no road underneath the tracks... But it still looks nice so far. Felix

I'm having some problems with the tram tracks implementation - where I've got roads built on the bridge foundation tiles, these are displaying as tram tracks without road underneath.... I'm also experiencing crashing if I try and raise a bit of land next to where another piece of road is built on the side of a slope with foundations. (i.e. to try and make the foundations disappear.

:-(
Abnormal program termination: memory protection fault
CS:EIP=00A7h:00000013h
Might this be anything to do with 310 low paras, or whatever it was
chuntering on about when I loaded it up?
I was looking forward to being able to build tram tracks too ... maybe
now I'll have to wait until I can build trams to use on them!

Alpha 71 is giving me exactly the same error message :-(
Windows 98, if that makes any difference.

Perhaps I should add that this is on start up, with the DOS version.
It never even gets as the welcome screen.

I'm afraid so. It didn't help.

Well, it seems to be a crash while the DOS extender is still setting up things for TTD, before TTDPatch gets even started. I have no idea what could cause this, but maybe you can try playing with the memory settings in the Win98 shortcut. For reference, these work for me: Conventional memory: auto Initial environment: 2048 EMS: 16384 XMS: 16384 (HMA box not checked) DPMI: 60000 -- Josef Drexler | http://jdrexler.com/home/ ---------------------------------+--------------------------------------- Please help Conserve Gravity | Email address is *valid*.

I can only set it to as much as 16384 or to "automatic". Do you think this could have something to do with my DOS-under-Win crashes? regards Michael

If "automatic" sets it to more than 64 MB, it might make problems. I'm pretty sure that ~60 MB was the max. that worked. Smaller numbers would only cause TTDPatch to abort with an "out of memory" conditions at most. However TTD doesn't work in VMWare win98, only in plain DOS, so I can't test this anymore. -- Josef Drexler | http://jdrexler.com/home/ ---------------------------------+--------------------------------------- Please help Conserve Gravity | Email address is *valid*.
