Lineless convois should be listed too. Not everybody uses lines for local stuff.

Furthermore, in case of more lines, the patch could only show the line with least stops to it (since that is the one the goods would prefer) and show then "and more" which makes the capacity issue clearer.

Extension Requests / Re: new dat file entry: region
Last post by prissi - Yesterday at 10:21:23 PM
I think one should have regions like south_europe, middle_europe and list of countries. I think the entries in the data file would be saved as strings and parsed on load.

Or maybe just a list of countries, where the player can then select more than one?

One could even handle essential objects like climates and factories. If there is no matching factory, take one from another region.

Fancy thing!
Pak192.Comic will love that feature!

Bonus for a future thing where regions will be distributed on the map as well.


One thing that's on my mind here is that the average player might think that you could just play the game in any given region.

We have a lot of objects post 1920, but not much from before that time. Even though we've set the preset starting year to 1960, we have had complains from people starting the pakset in 1835 and wondering why there's not a lot going on.

I wonder if it's possible to have some kind of indicator, on which regions to solely play on, and which might be better fit as just an addition.


In plus it may be a good idea to allow multiple regions / countries to avoid multiples of especially factories. While I'd love to have certain factories regionalized, I see some of them fitting multiple, but not all regions, imagine a wine yard, that really does not fit in for DE, but may fit for ES, FR and IT, while the DE version will look different.

PAK (DAT and PNG)

I try not to use the real names for vehicles as the names of the in-game ones.
For example, they are renamed as follows:
- "Blues" to "Worrieds"
- "Vesuvio" to "Delizia al Limone"
- "Baroneza" to "Pedro"
- "L'Obéissante" to "Servant of Amadeus".

I think that what I have said is enough to make my point clear.

Extension Requests / new dat file entry: region
Last post by prissi - June 13, 2025, 11:55:23 PM
I propose that all new data files for paks get an try region:
Could be the country code it,de,us,uk,fr,jp, ... or a regions "Europe", "Scandinavia", "Asia", "USA", "East European", ...

with the country list given in the simuconf.tab

Then, in the new world dialogue, there would be an entry for region settings taken from the paksets (if there is any country-specific infrastructure/buildings) and also a sector in the depot (and narrowing down choices there).

The second grey old engine has the same zip file as the Vesuvio. I will add them to the pak as well.

I will add them to pak128 too after that.
