The secnario I have is in 3 day time. So there is no way you can set it to 5 days. I think you are running in rounding errors. I am asked to set it to 11h 26m. Beware, the ganularity with the three day time setting is different from the 31 day time setting.

1min with three days is 65536/(3*24*60+1)=15.15 long while with 31 days the minite is 65536/(31*24*60+1)=1.468 ... Hence the destination setting need to check with abs(target_value-set_value)<=7 in 3 day format.

EDIT: Also please drop Mr. prissi. Prissi is an online nick and Mr does really not suit it.

Yes, that must be the problem, I still don't get much of the simutrans code to change it myself. In my script I made a compensation multiplying by 16, but I was certain that I would fail with someone else: "difftick_to_string (wait * (16))"

You have to modify this:static plainstring difftick_to_string_intern(sint32 f )
{
    return difftick_to_string( f, false );
}


Edit.
QuoteHence the destination setting need to check with abs(target_value-set_value)<=7 in 3 day format.
If I make that comparison the result is zero: Target = 10571 - Set = 10571 abs = 0

prissi

The waiting time is always 65535 ticks per month, but the month length can change! Calling schedule_entry.get_waiting_ticks() returns the time in the current difftick format. Otherwise it has to be shifted by (ticks_per_month-16) or multiplied by (ticks_per_month/655536).

Still the target wait time precision depends on the day per month date format setting. In the 64 scenario it is by default three days per month. Thus no setting can exactly reproduce the value you want. I strongly suggest replaing line 622 nd 822 in the basic file from  "if (entries[nr].wait!=wait)" to "if (abs(entries[nr].wait-wait)>7)".

I have also some other remarks on the tutorial:
The order of the bus stops make the bus travel uneccssary long way and will loose it a lot of money.
It is not allowed to press start with an open schedule, even if the schedule is correct. This is of course possible in game.
Why do you use the copy backward? This is the most useless for the default settings and causes rather problems and congestions. Best to have two lines forwards and backwards.
When starting three convois, one cannot use the copy convoi tool. Why? This is the easiest way to start three of them. But I get the message (only on start) that there must be a single convoi. The text should at least tell about not using copying ...
Why are the stops made public? This is really advanced and not needed for a normal play.
Before complex tunnel construction, maybe a normal tunnel construction exercise might have been better. Maybe on the planks line to the wholesale.

I could not finish the underground construction in the nightly. That part simply does not work, as the tile to click in not visible in sliced underground mode and the tunnel cannot be extended in Underground mode. Making double slopes that way is a nightmare likely nothing a first time player should attempt.

I will test this scenario with my boys later and get further feedback.

Thank you very much for your comments!. ;D

Well this seems an internal problem in the api (if it were my script it would show a message from the script), I am going to do some tests to confirm.

Well I'm going to remove it, although that forces me to change the texts.

I will change the rule to allow the 3 buses to start.
Quote from: prissi on August 14, 2021, 02:18:53 AMWhy are the stops made public? This is really advanced and not needed for a normal play.
It occurred to me to use public stops because the train stations are public, the reason is simple, I did not want to make chapter 3 more extensive by adding an extra step where the player builds those stations.

Quote from: prissi on August 14, 2021, 02:18:53 AMBefore complex tunnel construction, maybe a normal tunnel construction exercise might have been better. Maybe on the planks line to the wholesale.
Regarding the tunnels, in the pak128 tutorial if there is a previous construction of a tunnel, I will do the same here.

That part simply does not work, as the tile to click in not visible in sliced underground mode and the tunnel cannot be extended in Underground mode. Making double slopes that way is a nightmare likely nothing a first time player should attempt.
The underground construction is a headache, I could never make it work perfectly, even so it does not prevent me from extending in the underground mode (before height 7), for height 7 if it forces me to use the cut mode. Even so I had the hope that others could complete this parter, I suppose I will have to pass it and pass it automatically.



prissi

Keep the return ticket then.

About the public stop: You can keep it in if you say way to make it public and that it is quite expensive.

Yona-TYT

The problem with cut slopes started here: https://forum.simutrans.com/index.php/topic,20066.msg188523.html#msg188523


It would be great if this was resolved.

Okay, I'll update the text to mention that!.


I am currently trying to solve the underground constructions, I would not want to skip the construction of slopes, so I do my best to improve this part of the tutorial.

prissi

The underground construction is improved in r10012 and again works better without artefacts I hope. However, a tile more distance to the tunnel portal will make it easier and allows for portals without these edges on top.

Exactly that is what I am planning, and thanks to its modification it  you can move forward  with the cut underground mode without problems (in theory). :P

@Prissi, I think I have changed most of the things you have indicated to me.

Edit. I have modified the savegame, it should start the scenario again, I recommend that you use the script link to skip the steps / chapters
In underground constructions I have managed to allow extending the tunnel with sliced view and underground mode, I hope it works for you too.

Look at the attached image with the descriptive texts to make public stops.

I will publish a version when the texts are ready and I finish testing everything: https://github.com/Yona-TYT/tutorial_pak64.git

Ok, I have made the following changes: 
[General] Change the check logic for the timeout as you said (Works fine)

[Chapter 2] ============================================= ===================
Step 4: Change the order of the schedule list for the bus
Step 6 The return trip is eliminated
Step 6: Now multiple vehicles are allowed in step 6 (of the 3 buses)
Step 8: The text is changed and now mentioned the high cost of making public stops.

[Chapter 3] Step 6: The construction of the bridge is changed to that of a tunnel.
step 8: I have improved the underground constructions, but I still need to do more tests to be satisfied.

[Chapter 5] ============================================= ===================
Step 4: Change the order of the schedule list for the mail truck




@Prissi, to use the "Sliced map view" you must keep [Ctrl] pressed to extend the tunnel from the entrance, this is not foreseen since in a normal game this is not necessary, however something is interfering with the tunneling tool and I can not know what it is, it seems an internal problem in simutrans since this did not happen before.

@Prissi, With script or without script the vehicles are not starting if the vehicle / schedule window is open, unless you switch to another tab.

Before if they did.

prissi

Could you elaborate? I could start a tram and a bus with the schedule window open.

This happens only with the scenario. In a normal game I have no problems doing so.

It's not working for me in normal games for some reason.  :-[   

Edit. Using SDL2 in Linux.

Maybe you should try just the saveme: https://github.com/Yona-TYT/tutorial_pak64/raw/main/tutorial64.sve

Roboron

There seems to be some strings that are not properly translated when calling translate(). See attached image 1.

On chapter_03/01_2-2.txt there are some hardcoded values (production per month), that may or may not be true (they were true for pak128, not for pak64).

Wrong text. Asking me to build a tunnel but the text says bridge. Attached image 2.
At this point I would advice against building a second depot, if possible, and joining the tracks instead. Since every depot increases maintenance costs that's not the best practice...

I got stuck when building the tunnel: At some point I couldn't raise the terrain nor build or destroy tracks: That was game over. The script can't even advance to the next step, lol. Unfortunately I forgot to save the game, but you can look at the screenshots (3 & 4).

I restarted an the second time I was able to continue. But I got stuck at chapter 4, when I couldn't add a new stop for the ferry... This time I have a savefile, if you want. I didn't continue further the tutorial, I'm sleepy by now.

I've updated some texts, both translations and corrections. For example I added missing variables on chapter_03/01_2-2.txt

I never knew how to solve that I fear.  :(


Please send me the savegame of your stuck in chapter 4, I'll try to solve the chapter 3.
I have been able to advance without many problems, but you should know that it is recommended to use the "Es: Modo subterraneo por capas", since in the other way it is very tedious at times.


Edit
Well, I went  :lightbulb: on the focus :lightbulb:  so I found the problem in chapter 3 and resolved it, I have already sent the update, please verify that it works well now.

With respect to the Depot, that forced to change the text files, I would like to avoid that as much as possible.

Quote from: Yona-TYT on August 21, 2021, 12:32:09 AMI found the problem in chapter 3 and resolved it

This time, upon a similar situation, I didn't get stuck. So let's say you may also have such powers for now...

Quote from: Yona-TYT on August 21, 2021, 12:32:09 AMPlease send me the savegame of your stuck in chapter 4, I'll try to solve the chapter 3.

Actually, I was just being a newbie. I was trying to set the stop for the ferry to be the dock tile (151,198), when it should be the tile in front of the dock (152,198). Please don't judge me, I've not yet finished this game's tutorial! :-P (But that may be worth mentioning, or even better if you can highlight the tile)

Another cognitive dissonance: The chapter 3B is called "Building a Tunnel" but I'm being asked to build a bridge instead. You may want to change the name of the chapter.



Quote from: Yona-TYT on August 21, 2021, 01:41:14 AMMaybe he prefers Dr. Markus.  8)

I don't think so, it is also disrespectful, that's like mocking him! Doctor title is to be used with Last Name. It's like when we say "Señor", we say "Señor Pristovsek", not "Señor Markus", for that you use "Don Markus". That  is, unless you use his Full Name, in such a case you can write "Dr. Markus Pristovsek" and he will not be mad at you. But that is much more work...

Sorry, I think I found a new way to break the tutorial. When I am asked to build the bridge, doing it the old way (first a stretch of way using the already selected tool, and then clicking on the bridge tool) hangs the script.

Yona-TYT

It was a silly mistake, the start and end variables of the bridge were reversed, so I was checking if the bridge existed but on the opposite slope.


You just have to update your local branch and stay where I am, Thank you very much for finding this, greetings !.  8)

- Some new and obsolete translations are not yet reviewed.

List of changes:

- Add Link to skip steps on CH6
- Reworked underground buildings (should be easier to build now).
- Underground constructions now warn if the underground view is active or the correct level of the layer.
- Fixed many bugs with auto build code.
- Improvements in the logic of checking rails/roads when they are built (the flashing marks that appear and disappear).
- Add coord list to differentiate between the track under construction and the existing ones.
- Improvements in the simutrans/paksets versions analyzer
- Improvements in the failed click counter (But it's still broken).
- Various bug fixes between chapters 2, 3, 4, 5 and 6.

The same problem says it needs 123.0.2.

If you do nothing after loading the tutorial, you will be prompted for bankruptcy after a while.
I think the tutorial should enable Freeplay mode to avoid this problem.
