Scenario Tutorial for the pak192.comic

[Flemmbrav]

Okay I managed to include it now!
Sadly, it doesn't work. Starting the scenario will lead to error messages.

The script you use is directly from Github?

Do you have a savegame to review?


Edit.

Do you are using r8870 ?

[Flemmbrav]

r10421, script is directly fetched from GitHub.
In case you want to try this yourself, just download the pakset from GitHub

Can You tests with r10926 ?


I am using the exact same version of pak192 you are using, the same script that is already included in the pakset, but I cannot reproduce the error.


What exactly did you do to mess it up?... It would be nice if someone else can replicate this bug.

[Flemmbrav]

Works perfectly fine in r10834.
Seems like I just need to update my game!

[Yona-TYT]

Yes, the truth is that during the development of the script I was annoying the developers a lot "to Dwachs 😉" and a lot of things were implemented or corrected that completely break backwards compatibility, I tried to fix it so that it would be compatible again but it simply I couldn't .

[Yona-TYT]

Due to the new button to start the tutorial from the main banner, it is necessary that you update the configuration in the pak for it to be available.

The tutorial still doesn't work to date.

Can you tell me the version of simutrans that you are using? Also, can you attach the savegame and give me more details about how the error occurred?.

[Donald C.]

I'm using Simutrans 123.0.1 r10421. There's no savegame to attach, as clicking 'load scenario' from anywhere causes the same error.

EDIT: I was using the latest default steam version. I then tried enabling the 'nightly' beta participation (123.0.2 r11054), and this immediately solved the issue.

This is due to significant changes in the Script API between the previous version and nights, I was unable to maintain backwards compatibility.

[Yona-TYT]

I have made a last minute update because the tutorial was giving a message of incompatibility with the latest version of simutrans.

Latest Simutrans version (124.3) and pak192.comic version (7.2):

Opening finances causes a segfault.


There seems to be a problem in chapter 2, step D, with the bus' schedule: no matter what I do I am told the departure time is incorrect (I double-checked the time) and I get the following message when pressing "Start":



This one comes when I close the schedule window:



Interestingly, once I click "Next step" in the tutorial window, the bus' schedule is exactly the same as what I tried.


The tutorial also doesn't let me build a station (chapter 3):



And it is quite weird that the tutorial speaks aboout "standard-gauge" and trains while it is working with "narrow-gauge". But then it asks for "standard-gauge" and it is "standard-gauge" - may lead to confusion, esp. for new players.

Chapter 3, steps E and G talk about "tons" of logs whereas the metric for logs is "m3". Steps H and I do not let me do anything with any track-building tool.


In chapter 4 i found a goat at the oil rig. It seems to enjoy swimming. Not sure if this is a problem about the tutorial or not, though.



Step G asks for a shipyard but does not "un-hide" the shipyard icon. (it remains disabled - at least it looks disabled)


Chapter 5 remains stuck at step D as it is unable to count the 15 convoys required - even after clicking on "go to next step". My bad, I put a fork in the road and that disturbed the Tutorial...

But then it died once I connected all three factories to the power grid:



The Tutorial can still work afterwards, but it looks a bit drunk... For the post trucks, "It advances to the next chapter when the ship starts from the shipyard" despite no ship having been constructed.


Chapter 7, step A: can not make stop public as the "Walls, powerlines and more" toolbar is disabled. The scenario also counts the amount of passengers "Translated this month: 0/20".


(Sorry for being annoying... I know I can be picky sometimes )

Is a general problem in all tutorials.

I think the recent changes to the Simutrans code are responsible for this.
I think the problem is the different owners of the track and marker.

[Yona-TYT]

That was a last minute change in Simutrans, that's why I couldn't fix it in time I'm afraid.😔


My idea was to use text labels without owners, but at the moment they can't be placed on another player's rails, I'll wait a bit.
