Those who play nightly versions can also unzip it.

In a tar no-one will notice the readme, changelog and license file included ;-). A zip is also smaller than an uncompressed tar. And the zip contains a sub-folder so it's not an issue to just unzip it, all files are contained in there without littering anything. And you can download the release versions comfortably as usual from bananas.

New released version 0.2.1 uploaded to BaNaNas.

An aweful lot of changes were made with respect to 0.1.0. I'd like to list only the important ones, see the changelog for a full list.
- Complete rework of the parameters: you can select the engines from any climate you like (or none or all combined) and adjust the running and purchase cost or let the NewGRF decide on those automatically depending upon the other train grfs present
- The MU trains now got each their individual livery override for passenger, mail and valuable wagons
- Many cargos have now their dedicated cargo sprites, especially for the bulk and the flatbed wagon.
- The bulk wagons change their appearance in 1970.
- Made sure that all cargos from FIRS, ECS, PBI or the default climates can be transported. Shares the refit table with OpenGFX+RoadVehicles.
- Support for FIRS by providing dedicated cargos for engineering and farm supplies

Translators are welcome to update translations. They became quite a bit outdated :-)

Feedback, praise, criticism and screenshots welcome. Enjoy :-)

That's not intended to be this way and a bug. They should only expire when the last engine of the respective track type also expires. Thanks for the report

For an existing savegame there's unfortunately little hope :-(
In a new savegame just play with 'vehicles never expire'

Try to enable vehicles never expire (in running game).
Type in console reset_engines (it worked for me)

Another thing that would look better fixed: the original passenger cars have no doors.

What about ECS vehicle? I think that FIRS wagons are waiting for reuse.

Yeah, it works, the command is resetengines, though ;) Thanks :)

I believe that _ is optional.

In 1.0.5 reset_engines doesn't work.

Both are a valid command and both spellings work (the _ is ignored). And both didn't invalidate the displayed purchase lists; it was needed so far to open the purchase lists anew.

I think this is a bug - in sub-tropics climate, I create a new game with only 0.2.2 version of this NewGRF (no other NewGRF), the rail version of Piece goods wagon uses the sprite for Refrigerator wagon. This doesn't happen in any other climate, or when I load this along with FIRS.

Thanks for the hint, I shall change that.

Actually the reason is that haven't (yet) defined a specific sprite for the purchase list - and then the sprite shown there depends on the first refittable cargo - something which may change. Thus in all those cases you describe the default sprite for goods is shown - but in tropical climate the first refittable cargo is fruits, thus the livery which indicates fruit transport shows there (which also incidentially is (still) the same as the refrigerator wagon).

- Add: Special purchase list sprites for those wagons which have multiple different views
- Add: Special purchase list and depot sprites for the symmetric engines, indicating flipped state
- Change: Declare sprites specifically also for the valuables maglev and monorail wagons
- Fix: Random colours of container wagons did not quite work as intended
- Fix: Bulk wagon couldn't carry cement
