Wrong local authority?

Delboy · Post by **Delboy** » 06 Jun 2007 14:37

Hi all,

So i've got an interesting problem - In one of the cities (Sedingtown) i've been building in there's an annoying piece of road which is in the way of my rail. When I try and remove it, I'm told that Banbury local authority refuses to allow this.

All well and good you might think and assume that Banbury is probably next door - it's actually on the other side of the map.

It's not really a problem for me, as I can sweet talk Banburys local authority to remove it - but its an interesting bug which I thought i'd share on here. Screenshots and save game are attached below for help in debugging and I am running r10015

You also appear to have a tram stop in Sedingtown named Banbury Valley.

Maybe it's OTTD new feature, some random towns pop in the game.

Road veh 528 is doing some weird stuff, too

Were you playing only with this release version? The city owning the road is stored in save file.

edit:
rv 528 is maybe a tram... i do not have correct grf

Yeah, 528 is a tram - which would explain the weirdness your end

Started this game fresh with this release, so that wouldn't explain it. Interesting, if I use the 'land area information' tool on the road square it has no local authority, and the bus stop called banbury has sedingtown as a local authority.

Seems very strange

You started a new game, or a game from internet, or one you made/redited yourself in the editor?

I started a totally new game, randomly generated

It's not downloaded, nor edited.

Then it is very odd. It never happened to me, unless I edited games and deleted towns etc...

These are not the only problems:

Tiles 438x56, 429x58, 443x78, 432x84, 415x75 ... and probably others are also owned by Banbury.

First guess: when a city builds a road under tram, it gets owned by Banbury (city with some index)... Maybe problem with trams, when a tram track is built, city authority is (not) set, owner is set to Player. When a city builds a road, owner is set back to city, but with wrong city ID. Well, just a guess, I dont know how this is hacked

I just like to make a guess

Have you actually reported this properly as an OTTD bug?

Delboy · Post by **Delboy** » 09 Jun 2007 01:13

not yet, I thought I'd post it here first in case someone else already knew about it - seems as though its fairly unique though

I reported the bug and it got quickly corrected -> http://bugs.openttd.org/task/891
