The is a japanese patch for simutrans which add extensive vehcile constraits, classes, different boarding, Xaudio2 sound support and some other stuff I could not decipher on short notice (I am quite tired right now). Comments in japanese, unfourtunately. One may call it a japanese version of experimental.

The sound support I will certainly look at.

Patch http://yellow.ribbon.to/~tna/get.php?junk/simutrans_addon/Simutrans_VT_patch.zip and executable http://yellow.ribbon.to/~tna/get.php?junk/simutrans_addon/Simutrans_VT2.zip are on this page: http://yellow.ribbon.to/~tna/?url=junk/#modified_simutrans where the modified makeobj and some vehicles for a pak128.japan are found.

Some code may have been taken from experimental itself (e.g. catering). Interesting to see what has been going on that we had no idea about!

jamespetts

Fascinating! I wonder whether either Standard or Experimental could make use of any of this code...

The test pak is here:
http://yellow.ribbon.to/~tna/get.php?junk/simutrans_addon/tna_test_pak128jp4vt.zip

Apparently you are supposed to unpack it inside a full copy of pak128.japan.
But I think I'm doing something wrong, because it's not working.

... currently trying to get it to work.

If you install the executable
http://yellow.ribbon.to/~tna/get.php?junk/simutrans_addon/Simutrans_VT2.zip
and PAK128.Japan + modified PAK
http://yellow.ribbon.to/~tna/get.php?junk/simutrans_addon/tna_test_pak128jp4vt.zip
then it should work.
The web site states that you might need to install MSVCRT.DLL.


The features (or differences from the main stream) includes;
- if there are electric vehicles and non-electric vehicles in one convoy,
    the convoy can run on non-electric tracks only with the power of non-electric vehicles
- max. speed road sign
- you can load more than one type of freight for a single vehicle
- convoys can reverse without changing the directon of the convoy
- convoys can reverse without changing the direction of the convoy
    but with the locomotives coupled to the other end ot the convoy
- "no overtake" road signs

I didn't do much experience with this,
because you need to do lots of modifications the pak files to enjoy all the functions.
But some functions are quite interesting.

Isaac Eiland-Hall

I thought road signs only affected one tile, so would you have to put a max-speed sign on every tile? Same with the no-overtaking signs. Sounds interesting :)

rsdworker

sounds ideal for experinental because the trains with electric units or both

ah, okay, I think I see what is going on.

It seems like the text files become corrupted upon unpacking, at least for my computer, which gives gibberish text when language is set to japanese and crashes in english. I had a look at the jp.tab and sure enough, its text was gibberish. Not sure why, but it might be the way winrar handles the zip file.

Usage:
1. Unpack VT in simutrans folder (yes, you can use VT2 inside the same folder as standard. It won't interfere and both will work as long as you don't load the other's pakset)
2. Unpack pak128.japan (rename to something else if you already have pak128.japan with addons installed) (I named it pak128.japan.VT)
3. Unpack modified pak inside pak128.japan folder
4. Move the contents inside the 'pak' folder of the modified pak to the main folder of pak128.japan

- Do not install over pak128.japan if you have addons installed, because it crashes.


---
edit

upon further checking, it seems that the original jp.tab gives out gibberish in wordpad, but it works fine in the game. I do see a slight difference in the gibberish between the two, so it might have something to do with character encoding that my computer might not have.

Japanese texts are often encoded in EUC-JP until now. Try to open it in a web browser, because it usually has encoding selection.
But, does Simutrans support encoding other than ascii and utf-8?

ӔO

okay, I tried it in a browser.

It seems like simutrans is reading the VT version of jp.tab as Shift_JIS
Both original and VT are encoded in UTF-8

Hmm, interesting. I like the feature relating to electric/non-electric vehicles, although I wonder whether the use of such a thing would be limited, as, in reality, trains would be more likely to change locomotives than run with both electric and non-electric locomotives all the way. The reversing thing looks very similar to Experimental, and might even have taken code from Experimental to achieve. Does anyone know whether the .dat file parameters for the reversing are the same as in Experimental?

Greenling if you do not speak japanese, then how comes you distribute such news?

On the website it was written (see http://yellow.ribbon.to/~tna/?url=junk/#modified_simutrans )
Quote
改造版Simutrans

VT(改造版Simutrans)にはアドオンの内容を改変する機能が付加されておりましたが、 この機能はアドオン製作者の「無断で内容を改変されたくない」という権利を侵害するものではないか? という考えに至りましたので、VTの公開を終了することにしました(特にそういった抗議があったというわけではありません)

なお、実行ファイル、またはPatchの譲渡、配布等は禁止とさせて頂きます。
which loosly translates "Because for Simutrans VT addons were modified without permission, the distribution of Simutrans VT and all patches were halted. (Not that there had been any complains.)"

But there are still the simutrans routecost variants: http://japanese.simutrans.com/index.php?cmd=read&page=%B3%AB%C8%AF%2F%C7%C9%C0%B8%C8%C7

I have the developer from those idea in my bad Japanese language ask after a Translation in English.
Then have the developer from those idea said that he not make translation in English.
And after my Question was the Data from Simutrans vt removed. ::(

Well, I read your questions. Said text is why he removed it. He also did not patched up to 111.3.1 afterwards. People move on, and for whatever reason he did not want to release it any more. But there is a newer blog entry afterwards, so he is not dead, just retired from Simutrans VT2.

This reads as "suicide". You did not want to say that. But it looked that way :( Please be careful...

Greenling, this is plainly unfair.
In another thread we said only 5% of projects survive over time, 95% are abandoned.
This doesn't mean I wouldn't like if he shared his code so that some parts could be backported to our Simutrans(es).

VS

Argh! There is a multiple side misunderstanding. Imho, the slight problem here is:

Greenling first wrote that this man commited suicide.
(Greenling hat erst geschrieben, dass dieses Mann Selbstmord gemacht hat.)

And he does not understand that (yet?).

After the exchange with Prissi, we do all understand though, that it was only some mistranslated figure of speech. Like us Czechs throwing the muskets into wheat, hm?

VT developper stopped distributing VT, as VT has function to change the parameters written in PAK files and the he started thinking that this might violate the PAK author's rights. However, he also says that he never received such complaints.

Anyway he explicitly says that re-distribution of VT is banned. Please don't re-distribute VT.

Ters

Since VT is based on Simutrans, is it possible to impose a ban on it's continued development and distribution?

Simutrans VT no consisting of Simutranspakfiles but it gives them Advanced tab file.
And a feature enhancement file not violated the copyright on pakfiles in my eyes.

It depends what licence (if any) patches have been released under. While it would certainly be good for all patches to be released under the Artistic Licence I'm not sure they actually have to be.

prissi

If you do not distribute something which is based on open source, you are not force to release it. Things that have been released must be released with the source. But removing either should be ok, too.

Open source is only for releasing stuff.

yoshi

The developer of VT didn't explicitly state under which licence VT was released.
I just wanted to trasmit his will to those who don't understand Japanese language.

Ters

If Simutrans VT is a modified version of Simutrans (like Simutrans Experimental and not a game written from scratch that "just happens" to read the same pak files), then it is under the same license as Simutrans. The same rules that allowed Simutrans VT to be based on Simutrans would allow something to be based on Simutrans VT.

It's very interesting, nothing stops us to try to replicate some of that functionality, no?

prissi

Greenling, please respect the wishes of the programmer that his code is only for his personal use. Open source does NOT mean you *HAVE* to release the code without program. It only means *WHEN* you release the program you must relase the source.

Ters

If it's only for personal use, then why does it appear that other people have it? Is it somehow stolen? If so, then posts providing links to it should be deleted or censured.
