Sorry, that I don't write this to the existing thread, but I can't find it... :(
Could I have the permissions to send private messages?

post moved to the right place and done -- vilvoh

General Resources and Tools / Re: Simutrans Logos
I really like your logos! They are great!

Actually there is the default logo at the boot up of pak64 nightly... probably we could use it there in the nightly builds? (not at the homepage...)
Also the Experimental logo is cool...
( probably you also have an idea for a logo for the Simutrans Comic Section? I know, you mean the binaries, but actually the 192c has no logo ;D )

There already exists an addon for pak192.comic with "Thomas und seine Freunde"

Bug Reports / Re: [Bug] r3720 - Network Mode doesn't work on Mac OS X
Tested it over "Load Savegame" dialog and "dialog_tool[28]"...
I tried to connect to Franks Testserver over network, to an other server on my LAN and to the localhost... Nothing works.. "Server antwortet nicht"
And yes, i can download the server list, but the rest of the dialog is useless...

Pak128.Britain / Re: Generatin PAK128.britain
The MOSE version in PAK128 SVN is "MOSE - MakeObj Script Environment [Version 0.3.4.0]" (type command 'ver', for check it) actuall version is "MOSE - MakeObj Script Environment [Version 0.4.2.1]".

I recommend that the MOSE runtime itself is not stored in the SVN. (Only the *.mos Script file, have to be saved in the SVN) Then it is the responsibility of the user to download MOSE from http://moscript.sf.net/ himself.


My recommendation:

1.) Delete the file "mose.py" out of svn.

2.) Download the MOSE-Runtime (ZIP-file for linux and EXE-file for windows) and...
 - (LINUX) extract it to (for example) "/bin" and you can run the "makeAll.mos"-script with typing "/bin/mose.py -x makeAll.mos" out of the terminal.
 - (WINDOWS) run the setup and you can run the "makeAll.mos"-script with double-clicking on it in file manager.


1.Note:
The command line argument "-x" is supported since MOSE 0.3.9 (2009-07-10)

2.Note:
Simutrans doesn't support more than 24bit Images. Most of the pak128.britain images are saved as 32bit Images, so the libpng waring appears!
The warning means that the PAK-files are currently unnecessary big, and perhaps errors could occur.

Tools / Re: JimsViewer, a tool for extracting paksets info and gathering statistics
Suddenly an idea came... if the viewer could load dat+png as well, it would be a lot more valuable even for maintainers.
The development of this tool has stopped shortly thereafter it started, because this function wasn't wanted by the pakset-maintainers in the german forum. The original choice was the paks shouldn't could viewed or changed. (Was also already an included function of the tool!)
This is also the reason why the tool was very hiding in the German forum!

Pak192.Comic / Re: pak192.comic

Now it should work...

Pak192.Comic / pak192.comic on SF.NET
Please, could somebody upload the actual version of pak192.comic to sourceforge.net?

Actual version: 0.1.9 for 102.2
On Sourceforge: 0.1.1 for 102.0 (that's a very old version!)

[DE]Deutsch (German) / Re: RSS Newsreader
Im Internationalen Fourm exestiert ein solcher RSS Feed nur im Deutschen nicht.
Der beste RSS Feed Reader ist meiner Meinung MS Outlook, ansonsten ist auch die Windows Sidebar Minianwendung gut dafür geeeignet.

Pak192.Comic / Re: pak192.comic exp - tram option?
Probably something stupid on my side, but the menu does not seem to have a tram option.

Can anyone point me in the right direction? Or is there no tram in this pak?

simu ver 102.1 exp 6.2
192.comic version ??? not sure where to find this info, downloaded this week though.

All on Windows.

Thanks,

Erskie

There are trams in pak192.comic yet, but all the tram stuff is in the road tab.
In versions before 0.1.1 there is a cl****ic tram button.

Randomness Lounge / Re: Browser game version
OK, I've been only talking for a while, but slowly things will change :)
And an other question from you? What do you think, would Python be useful here too? I like it's clean, visible style.

Python isn't only a server-side language. With Python you could write server applications, but at client-side you had to use HTML or something else.

On client side you could only use:
- HTML - Only text and small graphic stuff, but the basic of everything!
- Javascript - Is for make HTML-Code more dynamical
- Java - Is for writting Applets, with it you could wirte small client side application
- Flash - Same as Java
- Silverlight - Same as Java

And for server-side componets:
- Perl - Very Old
- PHP - Widespread (but also very old)
- Python - Modern and very clean (not well known)


If you don't know what server-side and client-side means, forgot it to make a browser game.

Simutrans Gaming Discussion / Re: Scenarios
I think such complex stuff isn't needed!
The system from Dwachs is big enough.

@Dwachs: If you make your system, please also make a Scenario Name Attribute, because showing the file name doesn't looks very nice in scenario.

Incorporated Patches and Solved Bug Reports / Re: exclusive bus corridor
In most paksets there is a "Privat Road" sign, with it only your vehicles can move on a street.

Do you mean something like the attached screenshot? If yes, this already works with the "Private Road" siganls!
In the middle road only trams and busses can drive.

Simutrans Gaming Discussion / Re: Scenarios
XML? I think this is a great idea!

_____________________________________


Do you think of something like that?
Code: [Select]
<?xml version="1.0">
<scenario>
<task min_money="10000000">This is the message when you slove this task!</task>
<task min_vehicles="100" />
<!-- The attributs of 'task' means are the requierments for sloving this task.
Like 'min_money="10000000"' means that player must have 10000000 or more. -->

<!-- A more complex taks: -->
<task min_money="10000000" min_vehicle="100" max_time="10000">Here the message?</task>
</scenario>

Implemented feature ideas / Re: Re-scaling Simutrans
i would think of a mixed system, with the terrain full 3D (a very loose mesh, the tile grid), to save memory and adding more realistic reliefs. All the objects (with the possible exception of ways), instead, should be our beloved sprites. vehicles could then drive on the mesh in 8 views and buildings would need a 3D basement (like now on slopes).

With your 'mixed' system all streets, brigdes and tunnels have to redone too, because they depend on slopes!

Web & Wiki / Re: Revamping EN Simutrans Wiki - community work
There's amistake in pakset site.

PakGerman: 64x64 pixels, and the most challenging. PakGerman Homepage in English

Pros: Very Challenging , most consistent images. Pak64.19thCentury.Experimental (SIMUTRANS EXPERIMENTAL ONLY) Pak64.19thCentury.Experimental Thread

N.B: Requires Pak64 to run.

pak.german is a fully standalone pak-set. And pak64.19thCentury is an addon for standard pak64! Not for pak.german!


And pakHD isn't developed anymore and there is also no version which is compatible to any newer version! (The last version was 99.XX and isn't compatible to any actual version!)
So I think it would be better to notice, that you couldn't play it.

Tools / Re: SimuSetup
It doesn't seems that this tool is quiet actual and I don't think that this tool would work quiet well.
It isn't allowed to make direct downloads to SF.NET I think, so all files has to been hosted on a second server, and I don't think that there is such a big use of an installer! Simutrans is so easy to install, a installer would make it more difficult and would be extra work.

An offline installer from Frank is aviable, which does work quiet well and exists for every well known pak sets.

Extension Requests / HQ Simutrans Icon
I think the Simutran Logo is a vectorial graphic. So would it be makeable to include a 128*128 or 256*256 icon for simutrans?
Simutrans looks very strange with the small 32*32px icon in the large Window Se7en and on the Vista/Se7en Desktop too. They are to low quality next to the modern windows icons!
