Please check pak128 nightlies

Please download a https://github.com/simutrans/pak128/releases recent release of pak128. There had been a complete overhaul of the tool icons, including many recent tools. It features especially a macro building tool, i.e. you can mark an area and that infrastructure can be then constructed elsewhere (the last tools in the special tools).

Tons of errors have been fixed, and smaller townhalls have been introduced, allowing in principle even start before 1900. (But there is only a single steam engine, so it is not playable that early yet.)

I think there is a bug with the slice map view menu


Missing pixels when opening railroad menu


Look at the ground in the buildings


White pixel out of place, although this one must have been here for a long time, (I'm just taking advantage of the bug hunt )

[prissi]

Thanks, all fixed. That stray pixel from the town hall and underground station was there for a very long time.

There is a street requested on a tile which can never have a street. This is a simutrans bug, not a bug of pak128. Not sure, how that happenend. That slope is certainly not "wegbar".

Wait a minute! This hunt was for pak128, not for simutrans!.   😅

Sliced map view keys +/- are different between pak128 and pak64,
Is there any impediment for these keys to be the same in both paksets?

[Andarix]

You can abandon these attempts, as you will not be able to reach a consensus on all paksets.

Da wäre es wohl sinnvoller, das die Tastaturbelegung frei vom Spieler über einen Dialog eingestellt werden kann.

Alternatively, each defined key should be displayed in the tooltips.

ups, sorry not translate

It would probably make more sense if the keyboard layout could be freely set by the player via a dialog.

In that case, how about making these values dynamic so that they change depending on the selected pakset?.

[prissi]

They depend on the pakset already, e.g. the simuconf.tab. What Andarix meant was that the tools can be set by the user with a gui.

[Yona-TYT]

Currently [Start and End] keys are used for Silced View in pak128, while pak64 uses [+ and -], but pak128 also uses [+ and -] to adjust lighting.

[Andarix]

[- and +] were the original keys for brightness.

In pak64 this was later reassigned. While other paksets (including pak64.german) kept the original assignment and used other keys for the level.

It is hardly possible to have the same allocation across all paksets today.

[prissi]

The lightness setting darkens the colors (and even reduce color depth more to less than 12 bit) and will be removed for pak128. There is still a setting in the dialog.

But more than one time player complained in the past about dark screens. Hence I removed them from pak64 and complains stopped. SO I think this is a very advances feature which became obsolete with the death of cathode ray displays and DOS fullscreen mode ...

[Yona-TYT]

The icon for removing roads is inverted with the water canal icon.

[Yona-TYT]

The town hall is now divided into four buildings.

[Andarix]

There is an error in the names or the previous town hall is missing.

This looks like an automatic replacement.

[Andarix]

double name

Because they have the same names they overwrite each other.

[prissi]

THanks, fixed.

[Yona-TYT]

There are still 4 buildings appearing, shouldn't it be just one?.


That weird bug again: save-test.sve

[prissi]

No because when doing the replacement, one building 02_city 2x2 was replaced by four 1x1 buildings. And you have saved the map afterward. So it now has four times the (0,0) tile of 02_city.

I have repaired it  in the tutorial.

[Yona-TYT]

I have repaired it  in the tutorial.

Thanks

It's a bit late for this, but I'd like to see the mail boost production on oil rigs, so it would be consistent with pak64, see the image:


To be blunt, I see no reason why this shouldn't be the same as pak64. 

[prissi]

There is a boost, but it is small (5 mail with boost 1). I ncreased the boost to 50, that makes more sense. Mail would be lie food etc.
