In the release notice http://forum.simutrans.com/index.php?topic=11613.msg114276#msg114276 (http://forum.simutrans.com/index.php?topic=11613.msg114276#msg114276) Prissi says:
ATTENTION: Addons now reside inside a folder "addons" in the simutrans folder. Please move your addons into that folder! Scenario folder also has changed!
I don't seem to be able to get this working right. I am running in "single user" mode. i.e Simutrans is in /home/<"me">/simutrans. If I move my addons to /home/<"me">/simutrans/addons they don't get loaded at all. As I (thought) I understood it, addons should either become new objects or if the name.pak is the same as a PAKset object then the PAKset object will get "over-ridden" when the pakset is loaded.
I also can't seem to get the gist of this: If I have several PAKsets i.e. ~/simutrans/pak64, ~/simutrans/pak128, etc then will the game load the correct addons for the selected PAKset?
just a bit confused
CY
Addons should got to
~/simutrans/addons/pak128/
etc
That's where I have been putting them. But this of course overwrites any same named .pak files. I just thought this may be a way to make it easier to keep the addons separate to the core pakset. Oh well.
CY
You paksets should not be in ~/simutrans in single user mode. Unless you installed simutrans in ~/simutrans your paksets should be next to the executable.
/usr/bin/simutrans/simutrans
/user/bin/simutrans/pak128/...
~/simutrans/addons/pak128/...
If you do simgle user mode, then the addons should go into
bla/simutrans
bla/pak128/
bla/addons/pak128
...
Did you edit config/simuconf.tab to enable the single_user mode (the very top of this file)? And you are sure the right version that starts?
Not really, because the pak is to be installed in ~/simutrans/pak128 and the addons in ~/simutrans/addons/pak128 , no? They are different directories.

Well, I thought this might be the problem, as when I installed 112.2 I did forget to set this in the simuconf.tab but still no joy.
Using
bla =
/home/<me>/simutrans:
I have set the pakset and add-ons as follows:
1)
bla/pak128 contains only the official PAKset files
2) added
bla/pak128/addons and put all the addon .pak files here
I have tried both "
singleuser_install = 0" and "
singleuser_install = 1" in the bla/config/simuconf.tab
I am running version 112.2 - r6390 as reported in the program banner.
Any further clues?
Have I the got the name of the add ons folder correct, (remembering that linux is case dependant) - bla/pak128/
addons?

Inside the addons folder you create new folders with the same name the pakset folder has and place the addons inside them.
So, addons should go to simutrans/addons/pakFolderName
Ex.: pak128 -> simutrans/addons/pak128
pak64 -> simutrans/addons/pak64
yes, Yes, YES! ;D (well almost) ???
Thanks to An_dz! Have a virtual beer on me!

Almost, because only some of the addons load not all of them. Most lamentably, SFC does not appear in the factory list
Dumb user! OK, using a start year of 2020 everything appears! Yahoo!
So the definitive answer (for single user mode under linux) is:
1) MUST have singleuser_install = 0 in the ~/simutrans/config/simuconf.tab file
2) MUST run with -addons
3) Add on .pak files MUST be located in ~/simutrans/addons/<pakset_id>
So now I have the Fried Chicken, most all of mEga's brilliant stuff and some other really nice addons. I am off to create havoc amongst the population!
Thanks to all for your patience with this. By way of gratitude (sort of ;) ) here's a list of 1500 Australian street names generated randomly from the Australian postal code database and a few additions of my own to acknowledge our "furry creatures". Hope you find it amusing (it goes in <whatever>/pak128/text btw).
cheers
