Hi Werner, Just a note. Your new server for downloads (The German one) has a problem it's linking the sdl version of r2036 to the PAK128.150 download.
@Colin
What exactly is a problem?
Downloads work by me. (IE 7, FF 3 and Opera 9.50 )
The problem is exactly what I wrote. On Werners de page when you click on the SDL r2036, instead of downloading r2036 it downloads PAK128.150. It doesn't happen on his current site, only the new one.
If you think I'm wrong, perhaps you could explain why I've now got a 19mb PAK128 zip file sitting on my computer.
The files on the new server are identified by numbers that are handed over to a PHP script, so if that (generated) number is wrong, you get the wrong file.
Well that's quite brilliant isn't it? I hope Werner corrects this problem before he changes over completely.
the new server work correct
I tested the links and download the correct file, not changed download script file
the name of file show in file download dialog
Hm, is that done with redirects or readfile() + header "Content-Disposition"?
(btw Opera has some problems with redirects at least when they are images. But it isn't really a problem here I guess.)
the script create a new site
echo "<!DOCTYPE HTML PUBLIC \"-\/W3C\/DTD HTML 4.0 Transitional\/EN\">";
echo "<HTML><HEAD>";
echo "<META http-equiv=Content-Type content=\"text/html; ch****t=windows-1252\">";
echo "<meta http-equiv=\"refresh\" content=\"0;URL=$link\" />";
echo "</HEAD>";
echo '<BODY onBlur="javascript:close();"></BODY></HTML>';
test by opera 9.50 and FF 3
That's wicked clever :) You do this for living?
@ Frank
Yes, well it does today, but it didn't the other day, so the problem has been fixed.
Bear in mind that just because it worked when you tried it, doesn't necessarily mean it worked when I did.
I still have a 19MB PAK128 zip file which downloaded from sim_winsdl 2008-09-28 v100.1 r2036. Which I note you haven't tried to explain.
I can not explain what I myself do not understand.
I also tested on the day in question, and it has worked for me.
To the relevant files has not since changed, which affects the download.
files and dates
func.php 25-09-2008
Download.php 14-09-2008
counter_Dateien.php - list the downlod files
This file will be updated when new files are uploaded. The new files are added. There are no entries changed.
this applies to nightly.simutrans-germany.com
I mistakes and problems very seriously. To eliminate this, I must understand what I said in this case can not.
sorry for bad english
I tried this one today, sim_winsdl 2008-09-28 v100.1 r2038. it also worked fine. The problem needed to be resolved before the complete change over and it appears that it has.
Apart from a bug, an outdated (cached) copy of the download page could lead to this problem, unless the file IDs are always the same.
The nightlies are built when it's night in Germany, but in Australia, you might have downloaded files exactly when they are being re-built.
This could be true. It would have been approximately 4am in Germany when I downloaded that file. I would have thought however, that there would have been an error message rather than a transfer to a different file. But hey! I don't know how these tings work. ;D
is the file name differently, it is also the id differently
8 files always have the same id
( sim-winsdl.zip, sim-winsdl.7z, sim-wingdi.zip, sim-wingdi.7z, sim-gcc3.zip, sim-gcc3.7z, sim-gcc4.zip, sim-gcc4.7z )
http://simutrans-germany.com/~nightly/simutrans/stats.php (http://simutrans-germany.com/~nightly/simutrans/stats.php)
The Build-Server need some time to get the SVN-Trunks, the Translations, to compile and to upload the Files to the Webserver.
After every Step (Compiling Gcc3, Gcc4, WIN-SDL, WIN-GDI, PAK64, PAK128) the new results were uploaded.
This is the Reason, that the Server need over 1,5h to generate. He beginn at 3.00 CET (or CEST) and end c.a. 4:30.
I Testet the Server with FF, Opera and Konquerer on Linux and it work for me ....
Edit:
I make a Change:
The Server upload the file AFTER he generate all files
The new nightly-Build-Webside is definitly online!
http://nightly.simutrans-germany.com (http://nightly.simutrans-germany.com)
It will be wonderfull, when you check your links ....
the "old one" will go offline .....
Thanks to everybody who help!
And a spezial thanks to Frank for PHP, help and the server!
What about all the links pointing there - will there be a DNS alias and/or HTTP redirect to keep them working?
There will be an Webside with the Info of the new Server...
Can somebody change the link on the first post?
The nightlys are at now http://nightly.simutrans-germany.com (http://nightly.simutrans-germany.com)
Ore unstig this Thread an make a new one ;o)
This somebody is me... ::)
Okay, link updated.
Thanks. :)
Congratulations for new site. :D
good job *thumbsUp*
the background colors don't just structure the page nicely, they also create a kind of fresh look :D
for translating the nightly page text
see http://forum.simutrans.com/index.php?topic=857.msg7578#msg7578 (http://forum.simutrans.com/index.php?topic=857.msg7578#msg7578)
Thanks Frank, Spanish translation is on the way... ;D
Done....I've added this line at Thanks section:
translation
I hope you don't mind.... :)
BTW, instead of
Thanks , I would use
Acknowledgements.
Thanks vilvoh
added
sorry, links.en.txt is no longer necessary
I saw that there's no ES flag in Nightly Build site.
Then... ::)
Where I have the other flags (English and German) is a Spain Flag too .... so I use this.
If you want small flag icons, you may use FamFam Flag Icon Set (http://www.famfamfam.com/lab/icons/flags/)
Thanks ... but at the Moment we have enough place for "big Flags".
The Flags I use are (c) free, but I set a Link to the Creator (see the Copyright-Sektion of the page)

Hi, I think it's done..........
Portuguese Translation of Nightly Build download page
Any error or problem return it to me that I'll happilly fix :D
And Igor (or anyone), if you think I can improve something, tell me ;)
A Portuguese flag...
(I'm sorry Brazilians. I'm Brazilian too, but I have to recognize that Portuguese language came from Portugal)
Hey, we use the english-flag for english ... not the american or australian-flag ;o)
And the german for: switzerland, austria and .. germany ;o)
So there schould not be the problem to use the portugal-flag for the portuguese language
There are more countries with the same language, but they are represented by flags…
For being even more politically correct, we would better use language prefixes (es, en, de, pt..) ::)
At the begin of the webside I use for one language more than one flag. But then there was to much flags .....
With the language prefixes we have the same problem ...
As for me, I have no gripes. Czechia didn't conquer the world, no political correctness problems for us! ;D
So just Translate ;o)
In order to save space, you may use a select, dinamically generated with PHP, with the list of languages available:
<select>
<option value="de">deustch</option>
<option value="en">english</option>
<option value="es">spanish</option>
<option value="pt">portuguesse</option>
</select>
P.S: For avoiding any international conflict, I've sorted them alphabetically... :P
I'm not sure whether I'm using the right place to ask, but every day I download the WinSDL version, which requires some more actions performed by the user before it really replaces the old(er) version. Is there a way that a windows XP computer downloads,unzip and replaces the old(er) file automatically on for example start-up?
Well, the easiest way to justify the flags is:
it displays the country after which the language is named. And the languages are called...
... German (not Austrian, not Swiss) - so the German flag is somewhat appropriate.
... English (not American, not Australian, not Canadian, ...) so the UK flag does it, too.
... Portuguese (not Brazilian)
... Spanish (not... name every country in Middle- and South-America, except Brazil)...
... French (regardless of the many countries in Africa and elsewhere that also speak it)
etc. etc. etc.
What about Traditional and Simplified Chinese? In China people don't use Traditional Chinese, but in Taiwan, HongKong and Macau, and other places outside China they do. Also, a language has no political connection, in some cases flags do... Maybe we can use icons with abbreviations of languages (ISO?) like we generally use to differentiate different sections in the forums?
KrazyJay, about automating the downloading process - sure, it is possible! Probably in many different ways.
If I had to do this, I would probably use some scripting language (in this case Python since I just use it for everything) and add shortcut to the resulting script to "after startup" folder in start menu. Or something similar. Python is nice in one aspect - "battery included" philosophy, it comes with a full suite of libraries for all crazy kids of tasks, so you wouldn't have to hunt them on the net one by one.
Or just the same with VBscript - Internet explorer is (or used to be) just a mashup of activex libs and controls, so you could easily use some of it for downloading the stuff, and the rest - well, I don't know what all is in windows by default, but starting with xp it can open zip archives, so unpacking with some always present activex object is probably possible, too.
Or if you wanted to do it the linux way (on windows, no problem), you could use a combination of cat, wget, grep and some other nifty utilities. Just mash up some comands into batch file and repeat as with script. These programs are available from gnuwin32, so this is also an open possibility.
Dunno. Your call :) In most cases, you would have to download a lot of stuff before you can even start.
(Just let me remark that both python and gnuwin32 packages are quite useful, if you can really use them.)
If you are not interessted in the latest translation, you can only download the "smal" Packages. There are only the programm and 3? Logfiles. With this you can update other nightlys.
Only for the last PAK64, PAK128 and the latest translation you need a full download.
(BTW. the translation can be manual updated, look at the Translation-Server)
I'm not so great with programming, I know the code used to write in forums, I wrote some games for the TI-83 during my highschool era, I know basic commands in .bat files, but since then I lost it. I just figured it would be possible, since the download location doesn't change every day. Could I get some help with this? :) I use the link in my signature to download the file, link (http://simutrans-germany.com/~nightly/simutrans/Download.php?d=13), and the location it should be stored on my computer is D:\Program Files\simuwin-sdl-100-0\simutrans. I really hope it's not too much or impolite to ask...
But this link is only the programm (see my post)
It is only an update of an existing installation
Exactly. That's the only thing I need to keep up to date with the nightlies, right?
Up to date the PROGRAMM ... not the PAK or the TRANSLATION
For the flags issue, everybody knows that that is not exact. We can even have more than one language coming from one present country, countries may change in the future, etc. But everyone understands it and it looks nice.
For the simplified Chinese, I've seen the mainland Chinese flag and for traditional Chinese, the Taiwanese one. Again, that is probably not exact, and politically an issue, but everyone understands. Or if that is really a problem, some of those beautiful Chinese characters (jiantizi or fantizi) instead of their flags can do it.
Although I'd be happy with flags, for Simplified as well as Traditional Chinese, we can use icons. I'll make some and post them on here after 2 hours so you can get an idea :)
Okay, here are some ideas? They're fine to be used anywhere for Simutrans or anything related to Simutrans/Nightlies. Comments welcome, as they're quite easy to change, or give it a go by yourself ;)
bevor we think about the flags ... we need the translation ;o)
Encoding of your site seems to be iso-8859-1.
Should we need to use numeric character references to show 2 byte characters ?
$BEZ_NAVI['LANG'] = "表示言語を選択してください"
page encoding can different for language
if ( $st == 'cn' ) {
encoding utf8
} elseif ( $st == 'cs' ) {
encoding 8859-2
} else {
encoding 8859-1
}pleace add encoding in the file
default = ISO-8859-1
In release 2161 changed the savegame id.
Savegames not loaded in older versions.
The server appears to be down: 500 internal server error.
From
http://nightly.simutrans-germany.com/ ... now... All i get is:
Where did the nightlies go?
At some times the provider have a problem with the sub-domains....
somewhere Frank post the direkt-links to the nightly pages ... but I loos them :o(
Edit:
http://simutrans-germany.com/~nightly/simutrans/ (http://simutrans-germany.com/~nightly/simutrans/)
there are problems with the subdomains, as mentioned in many posts here in the forum...
in such cases please use the direct links
btw: the german text means: (url) has not been forwarded by now, please contact the support
Since this week there are nightlys for MAC too!
please test!
@IgorTekton:
Can you change the Subjekt of your first Post?
Ore make a new Sticky-Thread?
THANKS!!
Nightlies for Mac? That's excellent!
Better late than never. Done. ;D
We make a little change in the Design of the nightly-Webide.
and:
We have LINUX64-Bit included!
So Now:
Linux
gcc3
gcc4
Linux64
Windows
SDL
GDI
MAC
Intel
PowerPC
In the PAK-Section:
PAK64
openPAK128
PAK128
PAK192.comic
Edit:
There will not be a Windows-64-Version, because Windows64 have no Problem to execute 32-Bit-programms (and there is no mingw64-Compiler)
EditSome typo
Wow, since when there is a pak192.open? ;)
I think you mean pak192.comic
Thanks
Any possibility of adding Simutrans-Experimental for Mac to the list...? :-)
When I add simutrans-experimental ... then for all (Linux, Windows, Mac). I check the working of git on my Server, without destroying subversion
But .... I don´t know how to design the webside to add it.
... when you want to answer, could you make a new thread?
@IgorTekton:
This thread is long and there are so much posting that do not must be in a "sticky thread". Could we "unstick" it and make a new "stick"?
I've split the topic. http://forum.simutrans.com/index.php?topic=24.0
Thanks!
Would it be possible to add pak128.Britain to the list? It would be nice to have a nightly version for debugging/balancing ahead of future releases. The SVN is public on sourceforge (same as pak64), and there is a MOSE script to make the pak included in the root folder.
A simple question:
1) Is pak12.britain ready to play?
2) Is it a "full" pak or did it missing much many objekts?
If both "yes" than I could look next week .....
It's playable in the sense you can have play it as a standalone pakset. Rail transport is the most complete. Road is in progress, there are no planes or boats.
1) Yes, but limited by lack of vehicles for road freight, ships and planes. I'm doing this right now, but would like a nightly so people can test these as soon as I've done them and report bugs so I don't waste time doing lots of releases
2) Yes, All objects required for starting are complete, i.e. since release 1.0 it doesn't need pak128 objects like it used to.
I think pak12.Britian is too small to play. ;-) ;-) ;-)
I have downloaded:
sim-winsdl_2009-12-13_v102.3_r2935.zip
simupak64-234.zip
... and unziped them. Now, every time I try to start up Simutrans, it keeps asking for a bzip2.dll. And even downloading from a dll site and installing bzip2.dll, it won't work.
This bzip2.dll is new for me.
I change the nightlys from the brunch to the trunk.
(It was the brunch, because we want to test the 102.2.1 before it get out)
The Versions in the trunk need this dll. I can only look in 1 week for this problem ...
Werner
Thank you for quick reply. :D
I understood these new versions require that dll. I have downloaded bzip2.dll from two dll-site libraries, but, after installing bzip2.dll twice, simutrans says "could not found BZ2_bzRead in bzip2.dll".
I said it just for record.
http://simutrans-germany.com/~nightly/simutrans/dll/bzip2.dll (http://simutrans-germany.com/~nightly/simutrans/dll/bzip2.dll)
i found the simllar issue today because the nightly ST didn't let me load its came up with error - has do with bzip2.dll" i think - i need grab the exact error - the latest nightly was 15/12/09 for windows
The bzip2.dll downloaded from Franks link works fine.
I can also confirm success with Frank's link (three posts up), although it did take me a couple of tries to get the file. :) (But that may have been my browser being wonky)
It should be saved to the directory simutrans.exe resides.
I work on the Problem ..
but I want to make it good for (c) .... so I need a little bit time ....
Just a notice: Download links are broken.
No ... they are only "hidden", so nobody kan download a Version with a non existing DLL.
The next Version have the DLL
Or you can download the DLL from the Page
Posted this elswhere but here it is again
see at the Windows Part of the nightly-Side
http://simutrans-germany.com/~nightly/simutrans/index.php#_Windows (http://simutrans-germany.com/~nightly/simutrans/index.php#_Windows)
There you find a Downloadlink for the DLLs, and since today bzip2.dll too.
Please use this version, when you not have install a bzip-Libary to Windows
looks better now - its will help for new people
You really don't have to go to the download site, if you look at my previous post you'll see bzip2.dll listed there as a small zip file.
Off this topic. Whats wrong with the nightly downloads? the last four are not downloadable.
The last Version (This Night) could not upload .... the Script sad "Server not reachable". I look for it ...
the other are hidden (see in this thread)
Below are the last 5 nightly's. the top one r2944 has downloaded ok. The others are just lines of print. (All OS's)
sim-wingdi_2009-12-17_v102.3_r2944.zip 2.32MB
sim-wingdi_2009-12-16_v102.3_r2943.zip
sim-wingdi_2009-12-15_v102.3_r2941.zip
sim-wingdi_2009-12-14_v102.3_r2939.zip
sim-wingdi_2009-12-13_v102.3_r2935.zip
I restart the upload and it works ;o)
Small problem on the nightlies' page: the link for simupak128-786.zip does not work (error 404). The .7z file is available.
I believe the answer to that is in reply #85 of this topic.
You're a tad late with this reply. I think wernieman already answered.
Oops. When I made the reply, I didn't see anything between it an the post to which I was replying. That's odd.
This has been solved, apparently (without generation for a new pak-set revision).
http://simutrans-germany.com/~nightly/simutrans/index.php says:
and then redirects to http://www.simutrans-germany.com/ which says
....????
Yes. The server is moving at the moment, so some pages are not avilable for a while. :-[
VS kindly sends the new link, http://nightly.simutrans-germany.com
this is the offical link adress since Okt 2008
Hi,
http://nightly.simutrans-germany.com/ seems broken. I get a 403 (access forbidden) page.
That 403 page also includes annoying flashing ads... Even the "Impressum" link leads to a 404 (not found) page that also includes those really annoying ads...
Regards,
Ansgar
When I test it, it works .....
Hmm, interesting. When I access the site via a German proxy it works.
Maybe the server is randomly banning IP addresses from other countries? It would be better to not do so...
There is also a thread on the Japanese forum [1] about it (you can see nightly 403 fobidden in the topic ;) ).
Regards,
Ansgar
[1] http://forum.japanese.simutrans.com/index.php?topic=321.0
Perhaps it's rejecting requests from non european countries due to server overload or similar.
As I know, there is no "IP-Blocking" .... I think it is an routing-Problem ...
Unlikely. Traceroutes from Japan and Germany have the same last hops. I think somebody has banned "evil" IP subnets on the web server.
Who administrates the server? Maybe we should ask him.
Regards,
Ansgar
Interestingly the japanese access via proxy worked too. Is this a dyn-dns address? Those propagate often not fast enough.
It is on a Server from Frank ... and it is not an dyn-dns ....
As discussed elsewhere, Frank may not be able to do something about it, because not only his server is involved in the HTTP request (according to my understanding, err, guessing of the technical setup). The aforementioned advertisement in the error message might be from Frank's provider's webserver, same for the error message itself. @the people to whom the problem occurs: could you please post a screenshot and also the source code (put it in a
block or an attachment to mask it) of the error page?
