can't build new ship stop [solved]

[Kristian]

I am trying to get my old pakContrast to work with simutrans 102. I have recompiled the pak with makeobj 49.

When I try to build a harbor, I get an error message

Can't build a terminal station here! An end piece of flat road/track is needed.

The log shows something like this

Message: wkz_halt_aux():        building ShipStop on square 36,45 for waytype 3
Message: gui_textarea_t::recalc_size(): reset size to 171,33
Message: create_win():  ins_win=1
Message: create_win():  new ins_win=2

I wondered if the syntax for harbors had changed, so I consulted the pak64-source. These files
http://simutrans.svn.sourceforge.net/viewvc/simutrans/pak64/player/playerbuildings.dat?view=markup
http://simutrans.svn.sourceforge.net/viewvc/simutrans/pak64/player/big-hafen.dat?revision=146&view=markup
show

Code Select Expand

type=harbour

but when I try that, makeobj says

Code Select Expand

FATAL ERROR: building_writer_t::write_obj()
harbour is obsolete type for ShipStop

and refuses to compile.

Any help is welcome.

Uhmm..why don't you try this?

Code Select Expand

type=stop
waytype=water

That is what I currently have, and what gives the first error message.

# 1_1 is the land sqare
Dims=1,2,4

type=habour, it is not harbour.

harbour is obsolete type for ShipStop

That is catch-all message, 'obsolete type' is meaningless in this case.

[Kristian]

So can you find anything wrong in the code directly above your post (which may or may not cause the original problem)?

[z9999]

 

type=stop
waytype=water

This is a canal stop. It must be Dims=1,1,2.

[Kristian]

So what do I write if I want it to be a "ship stop" (i.e. on the shoreline)?

[z9999]

type=habour

Works like a charm. Many thanks!
