minimum map size to 1x1 or at least something very small

July 15, 2009, 02:28:13 am

EDIT: Editing title to match information from posts below.

MODIFIED REQUEST: per patch in post below; a request to allow tiny map sizes. (My original request was for 32x32 instead of 64x64, but in reality, playing a 4x10000 map would also be fun... and leaving the arrow buttons to a minimum of 64x64 seems fair - just allowing text override

)

ORIGINAL POST FOLLOWS: Would it be possible to have an option somewhere (i.e. simuconf.tab, just so it doesn't mess with people who don't want) to be able to change the mapsize changes from 64 down to 32?

And, in a related issue, if that's enabled, can the minimum map size be 32x32?

Reason I ask: I'm getting where I like to go 64x64 and expand out in one direction, but I'd like it even better if I could start at 32x32 with one city, and then expand in one direction in 32 increments...

Is that decently easy by any chance?

Mmh. You can input arbitrary numbers (but only >= 64) via the input field. Maybe we should set the minimal map-size to 1x1 (but this should not be choose-able with the arrows), to satisfy all crazy guys out there

Anyway, there is a related bug: if you choose ugly map sizes like 92x92, you can decrease you map size via the enlarge-map dialogue and simutrans will crash...

Edit: Here is a patch - only for you

A 1x1 map is not really satisfying me

you can enlarge to 2x2 and built a cycle line (after demolishing the depot ofc)

It definitely seems like something not to make too obvious...

I promise not to complain, and further - if I see a post where someone does complain, I'll hop in and explain.

Ah, how does the patch process normally work? I'm ****uming this is a patch that Prissi would approve or deny, and that if approved, it'd show up in a nightly or something?

...and if it is decreased to 1x1, I will totally create a 4x10000(or so) map XD

You can't raise the land on a 2x2 map. Steep slopes aren't allowed directly at the borders. So you need at least a 4x4 map for a circle line - without stops

Imho, this is a patch prissi rather deny than approve

So you have to patch and compile simutrans yourself. Or someone has to write a better, fool-proof patch, than the above is...
