I got your great patch compiled and running on a Raspberry Pi http://www.tt-forums.net/viewtopic.php? ... 7#p1029917

Hello,
I've added the patch manually to the r24418 and Compiled get an error in the rail_cmd.cpp, has anyone experience with this error:

This patch would be very interesting for the subway.

get the part at r24434 simply not up and running shows ever, and Draw bool error at compile time. Does this experience. I suspect that a double bool = variable is present.

The error means that you use a "cost" variable, which does not exist.

Quite likely, the variable existed in the program when the patch was written, and that part of the code has been changed between then and now. SVN can tell you what changed in the file. You have to change the patch as well.

Thanks, I'll continue trying.

Because the patch is (while convenient - I always play with it) something of a hack, and has some irritating bugs. Trunk would need at least a more polished version of the current idea, or ideally a way to actually place signals in tunnels, rather than simulate them in a way that causes various problems.

EDIT: I believe one of the posts above may have been edited, this one no longer makes any sense .

FLHerne, I totally agree!

I had an idea about signals in tunnels etc. and i was wondering if it could be done.

Instead of rewriting OTTD entirely to allow for signals in tunnels and on bridges, couldn't we write something that lets the trains decide wether to go on or to stop? We have path signals; they see if a block until the next signal is free. Couldn't we just change this in "check if the next tile is free"? That way, we wouldn't even need signals anymore, maybe just to create one-way tracks...

Maybe a stupid idea, but if this could be done, a whole lot of problems would be solved and i would need a lot less signals

what you describe is the behaviour of road vehicles.

While in-cab signalling and automatic train control systems have existed since the early 1900s, there is no unified standard, nor do all trains companies use them even today. Track-side signalling is still required on the majority of railroad systems.

I don't think he wanted to know if it was possible in real life (ie. realistic), but rather in the game.

Indeed, it is possible, and probably rather simple (since, as Eddi just stated, it is pretty much how road vehicles work). However, where is the fun in that ? Plus, if you had to change all tracks to one-way tracks, there would probably be some problems at junctions, and I don't know how you would display it in the game.

Hello,

I tried to insert (by hand) in the signaltunnel_V3.02_r24031.patch to r24521.
Get an error message when you compile but as indicated in the picture.

Can someone do something with it and tell me which this "signale_side" is linked?

as far as i can see, it has been renamed to "train_signal_side" (see src/table/settings.ini)

WOW Eddi, if I would not have you, it works, thank you

Would it be possible to post that new version?
Maybe donate it to the original author via PM so (s)he can doublecheck it and then release it?
Because I really like to use this patch in a newer version of OpenTTD (everything newer from r24402) as that has some bugfixes for some GRF's I made.

Hello

I have entered all patches by hand, usually vote no longer the line numbers or variables have changed (see above for Eddi)

Now, I'm going the signaltunnel.patch in the r24524 a bank setting. Problems really only the language file (String1) (string2) if I this comment from the english.txt remove and compiling then it goes again, otherwise I get a language error as often described.
I also get error when I insert the text in the german.txt. Here, the STR_ STRINGS cause me problems. Is a lot of Fummel work.

Hello

tried the signaltunnel_V3.02_r24031.patch in the r24530M to insert.
Works so far, very good, get when opening from OpenTTD this message in the main window (see annex 1)

When I click Advanced settings > design > signals click, is a crash with the error section 2 (see annex 2).

Maybe someone on this error has a tip! what strings could be meant?

The extra descriptions in the advanced settings window (that appear at the bottom when clicking a setting to highlight it) were added in a revision after the patch, if I'm not mistaken. You'll probably need to add the description if it's missing from the advanced setting(s) introduced by this patch.

Hello
It was as always the strings in the German language file and a + in the settings.gui, running again in the r24532

Hello All,

I also have been trying to apply this Signal in Tunnel patch, but with little succes. Am not an expert at this, sadly, but I managed to use TortoiseSVN 1.7.9 and OpenTTD Trunk R24534.
When I try to apply the patch itself, it gives me around 5 faulty messages. But I really don't have a clue how to solve this. Maybe someone can help me out with this. Thx in advance.
