While most things works the same in TTDP and OTTD, there are some differences I have discovered, and I will use this topic to address them - and hopefully receive answers...  First question; Isn't it possible to use waypoints for road vehicles in OTTD as in TTDP? If it is I cannot figure out how to connect a "busstop" to a railroad waypoint for this purpose? _________________  Simuscape - A world of its own;SimuTalk | Visual Studio | INFRA DiaryINFRA - Chose Your Destination;INFRA Projects | INFRA Downloads

"go via" option in order setting window is just for you. Within this feature you can use any bus/truck stop as a RV waypoint. Option can be founded on the same dropdown menu as "nonstop".
(My OpenTTD is in Finnish and not sure about English terms.)

Thanks! Works a bit differently in OTTD... Another question; As it seems I can't use snowheights in OTTD temperate climate, something which I - in TTDP - has replaced with rocks instead. The option I have is to simply replace the arctic sprites in arctic climate with my TTDP temperate sprites and get access to snowheights... However, when setting the snowline it doesn't seem to work... the snow appears almost at the lower tiles regardless of my setting, (e.g. 2 or 13)... What gives?  _________________ Simuscape - A world of its own;SimuTalk | Visual Studio | INFRA DiaryINFRA - Chose Your Destination;INFRA Projects | INFRA Downloads

Do you have tried without any GRF-files?

Actually, I managed to solve it by adding the "snow line mod" and set both snowlines, (January and July) to the same value - which prevents the game from changing the snowline during the course of every new month... It also turns out I had to change a parameter on ECS Towns for the snowline not to be affected... A bit of trial and error really... But with this ability I will use the arctic climate instead of the temperate and simply replace the arctic sprites with my TTDP-sprites instead - for the purpose of having rocky mountains with dirt roads and specific tunnels... _________________ Simuscape - A world of its own;SimuTalk | Visual Studio | INFRA DiaryINFRA - Chose Your Destination;INFRA Projects | INFRA Downloads

...which is why I'll use the arctic climate in OTTD instead rather then the temperate one. By replacing the arctic sprites with my TTDP-sprites, (grass and rocks), I can achieve the same appearance I'm used to in TTDP with rocky mountains, dirt roads, and rock covered tunnels...  I'll post a screenie once I have replaced the graphics...  The only drawback so far - that I've found - is that I'm not able to use MB's DBXL-set... but on the other hand I'm able to use many more .grf's - and especially eye candy as in station tiles - than I could ever use in TTDP, so I can finally add loads of stuff I had to put on hold earlier... _________________ Simuscape - A world of its own;SimuTalk | Visual Studio | INFRA DiaryINFRA - Chose Your Destination;INFRA Projects | INFRA Downloads

Oh okey... I'll look into it once I get there... I have finally managed to get all settings correct and I couldn't use as many .grf's as I first figured, but on the other hand I'm able to remove a lot of the ones I used in TTDP as those graphics are already part of OTTD... The time consuming part ahead is to complete the sorting of eye candy and to rework the base graphics in OTTD so I can finally start the game and try out the new Innovatia... and I have found some side effects that will wotk to my advantage... this should be fun...  _________________ Simuscape - A world of its own;SimuTalk | Visual Studio | INFRA DiaryINFRA - Chose Your Destination;INFRA Projects | INFRA Downloads

What a truly braindead idea. You never ever create fake GRFs using a GRFID from other existing GRFs; i.e. in this case letting DBSetXL know that the Alpine Climate has been loaded, but in fact it has not been activated. Then, he even goes an uploads that stupidity onto the Content Downloader. I'm wondering what Michael Blunck thinks about that ...

Well, if DBsetXL disables itself unless a grf with a certain ID (alpine climate, apparently) is loaded, and you really want to play with the DBsetXL your options are either to:
1) Actually load the appropriate grf (alpine climate, it seems)
2) Edit the DBsetXL grf to disable that check
3) Edit the OTTD source code to disable that check
4) Make a fake grf with the same ID
If for some reason you can't/won't do option 1), well, option 4) seems the next easiest.

DB Set XL was last updated in May 2005. AlpineClimate was last updated in May 2006. AlpineClimate Read Me file wrote: the DB Set XL v.0.82 is fully compatible with the AlpineClimate. SAC wrote: The only drawback so far - that I've found - is that I'm not able to use MB's DBXL-set... Why not? Are you getting an error message? I just tested them and they both loaded together satisfactorily. Never mind ... I just realized that SAC does not want to use the AlpineClimate set. With that thought, the Alpine Set GRFID spoof should not be used unless it includes a specific permission from Michael Blunck. Otherwise, any modification would be in direct conflict with his copyright. _________________ Visit SimuSchool - Tutorials, Questions and AnswersTTDPatch Nightlies Downloads are backThrive

If this a copyright conflict then TTDPatch is also a copyright conflict.

If this a copyright conflict then TTDPatch is also a copyright conflict. You got it. Worse yet, TTDPatch is GPL. It can be argued that because the GRF ID is unique to the Alpine Set, it could be considered an intrinsic part of that file. _________________ Visit SimuSchool - Tutorials, Questions and AnswersTTDPatch Nightlies Downloads are backThrive
