#openttdcoop

After two month without any progress and some weeks with a lot of discussions, decisions and of course work, we finally release the first beta version of the #openttdcoop NewGrf Package Version 7. This is another big step, because we decided to change the way we administrate NewGrf files. To cut a long story short, we control the files now with Subversion, a versioning system. A lot of you might know this system, because it is used buy our all beloved OpenTTD game as well and those revision numbers are generated by svn.
It is definitely worth too look into svn and add the package to your OpenTTD data/ folder with this method, it saves you a lot of time and traffic. Methods, how to do this, are shown below.
Of course we will provide the normal packages (*.zip, *.rar, *.7z, etc.) as well, to reach all users.

A major and great update is the inclusion of the OpenGFX – 8bpp Graphics Replacement Project. Of course there are many more updates, check the Package History.

Legacy Pack

The Legacy Pack is introduced to ensure compatibility to servers using an older version of our package. Updating a NewGrf file in our package is replacing the old file with a newer version. If a server uses the old version of this file, you are not able to join anymore. Keeping every version of this file in the NewGrf Package would make it incredibly big after a few new versions. Keep in mind that some files are bigger than 1MB. That would be absolutely uneconomical.
In a few words: if you want to get rid of Version 6, but want to keep OpenTTD compatible to Version 6 Servers with Version 7, download this package.

Subversion

Even easier and more handy is using subversion to update your copy of the NewGrf Package. You can use a secure connection with SSL if you replace http with https.
Installing a new working copy:
$ svn co -r 60 http://svn.openttdcoop.org/grfpack/trunk ottdc_grfpack
If you already have a working copy, you have to update it:
$ cd ottdc_grfpack
$ svn up -r 60 .

Installing a new tag:
$ mkdir ottdc_grfpack
$ cd ottdc_grfpack
$ svn co http://svn.openttdcoop.org/grfpack/tags/7-beta1 .

If you export a revision, you won’t retrieve .svn files. Instead it is just the same data as in the package:
$ svn export http://svn.openttdcoop.org/grfpack/tags/7-beta1 ottdc_grfpack
