I have no problems with it. There were a few problems with CanRail v1.1; an update has been made available (CanRail v1.1a, dated 6 Aug 2012). Try the update ...


The Bi-Level Cab Car comes in 2 flavours, i.e. Go-Transit and CPR, when building a push-pull train with the GMD GP40TC, you need a GO-Transit Cab Car (purchased at random). The coaches will change livery automatically once attached. With a Cab car up front, you need to start with a GO cab car, attach the coaches, then the GP40TC [train #2]. If you have a CPR cab car, you can only attach an F7 engine [train #3].

I hope this helps ...

I tried doing that but nothing I do works, I keep getting an Internal Set Failure >_>

I've also tried changing the reversing option from reversing at stations and reversing at the end of lines and neither helps.

EDIT : OK, for some reason, trying to build a passenger/mail train before 1980's causes a internal set error. I don't have any other train sets and the only thing I have in the CanRail parameters enabled is new cargo support (for FIRS).... and I just finished building my first realistic railroad in a long time

EDIT 2 : This is getting weird, sometimes I can make a passenger train, sometimes I get a internal set error. It usually seems to appear when I make a nice big railroad, then I make a train.

Have you updated to CanRail v1.1a ? The problems you described have been fixed in CanRail v1.1a (6 Aug 2012).

I am using v1.1a from August 6th, in fact I didn't know this place is where the update was until after v1.1a was released.

Anyways, its still acting weird, like I said, sometimes I can't use passenger, and sometimes I can.

Btw I'm using the 64-bit version of OpenTTD (Windows 7 64-bit and 6GB RAM)

EDIT : I think it may be due to NuTracks... this set doesnt like nutracks does it?

Send me a save game with a description what you want to build.

CanRail runs on normal and electrified rail, as well as narrow gauge, which is implemented in the maglev slot.

Like I said, it doesnt seem to work when I use Nutracks so I solved my problem, just play with out nutracks until its supported. Trying to build on anything aside from very low speed tracks causes Canset to freakout

Hi OzTrans,

With CHIPS 1.0.0 and Canadian Trains 1.1a, CHIPS has garbled sprites for NG stations (CHIPS relies on baseset sprites for ground tiles). Yexo thinks this is likely a GRM issue with one of the grfs, but we haven't been able to figure out which yet.

CHIPS is on bananas or here: http://bundles.openttdcoop.org/chips/releases/

I'm probably around on #openttd irc channel if you want to figure this out.

cheers,

Andy

When using TTD sprites for station tiles you'll get this problem with any track type other than 'normal'. The problem is with your CHIP set. It simply comes to light when using CHIP station tiles from the [CanRail] NG station menu. The same occurs if you were just using CHIP tiles from the 'MagLev' (or even Monorail) station menu.


There is a lot of work for you to fix CHIPS ...

I knew all of that and had worked around it by allocating the required sprites +164 via grm (so each sprite is present 3 times in the grf). However for this particular tile a baseset sprite was used (I wasn't aware of that until just now). Thanks for your help by identifying the issue, it's indeed a problem in CHIPS and not in CanRail.

I added one base tile to CHIPS which caused this issue. Will be resolved. Thanks for help.

would there still happen to be a download of the 1.0 version of the canadian station set? i would like to download it so i can play in romazoons server, im honestlly shocked the archive dosnt have it still around :l as far as i can see.

Romazoon hasn't upgraded to 1.1?! Pester him (incessantly) to do so, that is the best solution.

I hope this is the right place for my feedback:
When I tried this updated version of CanRail, I noticed the FP7 smoke is placed somewhere in front of the engines, while it is placed correctly on other engines (I tried GE Evolutions, EMD SD60, MLW FAs, etc.). I remember this bug was also present in the old version, but if I remember correct, all diesels where affected.

Anyway I am very happy to see the CanRail is further developed and I am looking forward for any progress with this set.

I must have missed the FP7, when I fixed the fault of the misplaced diesel fumes. Shall be fixed in the next update. Thank you for reporting it.

That bug was introduced by OpenTTD when the positioning of visual effects for other than steam engines was introduced. I fixed it in CanRail v1.1a when I became aware of the problem.

Yes, I remember this was introduced by OpenTTD aswell as the "no-more-turning-vehicle"-feature that caused chaos in many sets .

Just two other remarks/questions about the narrow gauge trains: First, there are no tractive effort related informations on narrow gauge locomotives. Further more, the refittet narrow gauge container car carries more iron ore (or bauxite, etc.) than the standard gauge ore car can handle. Is this intentional?

That one was updated in CanRail v1.1 too.

None on standard gauge either. Has TE information ever been shown in OpenTTD ?


No it is not. It should be less than the standard gauge ones. The 2 SG ore cars should be 30 t and 45 t respectively and the NG ones, I would say, 25t and 35 t. More to update.

... and the purchase costs should be adjusted too to reflect the carrying capacity.

Further, reliability seems to be treated differently in OpenTTD too. That GMD G8 gets 78% in TTDPatch and 100 % reliability in OpenTTD when purchased.

Well, while your screenshot does not show them, my screenshot does

I checked if I hit an option that is normally inactive... but this picture was "shot" with no other grfs exept for CanRail and FIRS, with no paramters set, interfering newgrfs are not present.
I am running OpenTTD 1.2.2, on an 64bit Ubuntu desktop (but I think that has nothing to do with it).

As far as I remember, tractive effort values were always shown in OpenTTD, thus making e.g. the main difference between the later GE-Units with AC or DC traction motors visible and justifying their different costs.

EDIT: I checked other game dates, other engines: standard gauge engines always show up their tractive effort capacities. There is also a small typo in the german narrow gauge train selection list. It's not "Smallspur", it's "Schmalspur" .

The problem is that narrow gauge is coded as maglev, which doesn't use tractive effort because there's no friction to speak of; it would work as monorail (or a new track type, which wouldn't be TTDPatch-compatible). To show/hide tractive effort for regular trains, enable/disable realistic acceleration in the advanced settings. This isn't really a new option.

And by the way, it should be "zufällig", not "wahllos", "hölzerner/stählerner <X>wagen" not "<X>wagen "Holz"/"Stahl" ", "Personenwagen" rather than "Passagierwagen", and Santa Fe is misspelled. Just pointing it out.

I didn't have Realistic Acceleration' turned on; so that answers that question. As for narrow gauge ... there is not much I can do about it. I could add TE information as additional vehicle information though.

Will be corrected, thank you.

The reason why I used "... wagen 'Holz'" instead of "hölzerner ... wagen" is one of length. There is limited space and such things in German tend to get a bit long.

Here are the vehicle descriptions of all wagons (german) ...

Any suggestions to improve them are welcome ...

Came up with this, tried to keep it short.
