Since OpenTTD 0.6.x, this feature is possible for stable releases, too. So we can publish this almost a year old draft.

I liked to clean my OTTD installations, because new build supports cool features for that. In past I “managed” my OTTDs (different revisions) with symlinks, but with windows i.e., its not possible.

So here is a tiny howto, how to keep many OTTDs without too much redundancy:

Hey folks,

quite some improvements have been done to a lot of newgrf since the last release. Also the creators of the 2cc set are prodding us to use and test their creation - the 2cc train set. So we took the opportunity and gathered all changes and combined them in a new release.

A farm station near a farm and an oil well, taken from the ISR 7.1 and the farm, food plant and oil wells from PBI.

Today with the release of the new grf pack we also started a new game on our publicserver. The game type chosen for this game is a back to basics style with gradual expansion of the infrastructure.

Mudworth, nicely situated within lush, green woods with a small tram network and a regional ICE terminal. The express trains in 1920s are still steam powered and the 1st class coaches ensure a joyfull and comfortable journey.

Maybe you’ve noticed that there is an imbalance between the activity of the PublicServer and the MemberZone. We as members couldn’t help but notice this and deviced a plan to change this, this lead to an all new server called the ProZone. The ProZone will be replacing the MemberZone but it will have a different guideline for allowing people on the server. The main difference is that you don’t have to be a member anymore to play on it but it will mean that you have to be a good enough player to be able to join us. Read the rest of this entry »

Exactly 42 commits were necessary to merge the ‘Yet Another Path Based Signaling Patch’ a.k.a. [YAPP] to the trunk (information from developer). We reported about this interesting patch in february ‘08 first and played a PBS game on our Public Server.
I am really looking forward how popular YAPP will get and how it’ll be used in the upcoming games. PBS makes a lot of things much easier, but we should also check how it affects system resources: i.e. cpu usage.
All in all its great to see a patch (of this size) after almost half a year in trunk.

Well done
