Hi all,
yet another beta version is available at http://www.ttdpatch.net/src/
Before I go into the changes, here's a call for translators. Most of the
translations have been taken care of, but some of the languages into which
TTDPatch has been translated are missing translators (or I haven't been
able to contact the ones who did it before).
If one of the following languages is your first language and you're
competent in writing it, please contact me to translate new strings:
- French
- Russian
- Spanish
The following languages are up to date in beta 5:
- Dutch
- German
- Hungarian
- Italian
Please report any mistakes in these translations.
The following languages are being worked on and don't currently need
translators:
- Czech
- Danish
- Finnish
- Norwegian
- Polish
If you would like to volunteer to translate TTDPatch to your language, and
will be able to translate a ~1000 line document within no more than 2-4
weeks, please let me know as well.
Now back to the beta itself. Despite my best efforts to the contrary,
I've let a few smaller features into the beta. Csaba has written support
for animated stations, while Lakie wrote support for better coasts in
corners by letting water flood diagonally (this can be disabled with
miscmods.nodiagonalflooding on), and Oskar added the "forcegameoptions"
switch to force certain settings in the game options in the title screen,
so you can set the road traffic side, town names and other things that are
normally always reset to their defaults.
If you have the DOS version and are using the -Z switch to enable low
memory mode, please change that to -XZ; -Z will soon be used for another
set of extended command line switches.
As for bug fixes, beta 5 has the usual bunch of them as well. In
particular, some problems with new cargos and two crashes have been fixed,
among several other minor changes. The full list is below as usual.
Enjoy!
Josef
