New Industries!

The last point on the Roadmap to 0.6 seems to be done:

-Feature: [NewGRF] Add support for Action 00 for Industries and IndustryTiles.
Thanks to :Csaboka for original concept, specs & help. Dalestan for technical explanations.
Pikkabird & Georges for detailed comments on their grf works. The Alpha testers (You know who you are).
And finally (but not least) Maedhros (newhouses), peter1138(newgrf) Rubidium and glx (numerous and welcome patches)
Remember: it certainly can be buggy. But be sure that behavior has been tested in TTDP (if you can) before raising a flag.

A happy week :)

This week is a week of many happy events. The first one was my birthday on the 1st of October, I turned 18 and will be getting motorcycle lessons soon (when I get the theorycertificate).

The next big thing is that new industries is in trunk. After a long time of waiting it is finally in, although it might still be full of bugs etc. We ask you to report bugs you find at bugs.openttd.org, note that you should check whether the same bug also exists in TTDPatch. If that’s not the case than it is an OpenTTD bug and you can savely report it.

I hope we will be getting to play with new industries on the public server soon, although I can promise nothing. There is a new NewGRF-package on its way though, so we might get to play with them really soon.

And last, but certainly not least (might be the most important even!): Kommer is has been promoted to member status and will now be able to play on the memberzone. We wish him a good time at that server too. We also hope to give more people this status, but for now he may count himself lucky that he is the first in a new batch of members, a batch that will slowly grow bigger (I hope 🙂 ).

2 Beta’s in same week!

Our lovely member Progman did it! A config tool for a easy way to set our start options, no thinking about diff_options anymore.

Progmanâ??s Config Tool

Because the NewGRFs will also be managed over this tool, we need a new system for saving our GRFs, they need to have the right orders. Trainsets have to be after narrow gauge track i.e. etc.

OMG! Breakdowns On on current Public Server Game

After 60 games without any breakdowns, the community wishes to play a game with breakdowns on. I’m really curious, how this will end…
