Canadian (International) Roads v. 1.6.3
I like the dirt roads of the Canadian International Roads a lot. But last week I downloaded version 1.6.3c (or 1.6.3-3), which unfortunately is unusable on Linux. Before I discovered that, I had already deleted the 1.6.0 version
So, my question is: can somebody please post or PM me a version 1.6.3 of this NewGRF? It looks like there won't be any upcoming releases of it anymore.
Edit: Corrected version numbers

So, what's this then, when I start a new game with the Canadian (International) Roads v1.6c:planetmaker wrote:Whatever your issue has been with a NewGRF: it has nothing to do whatsoever with the operating system you use(d).leifbk wrote:which unfortunately is unusable on Linux
I can't find any CanRoadsd.grf anywhere.

Re: Canadian (International) Roads v. 1.6.0
It's likely a technical check for the colour palette and the game version used and the error message is worded badly. NewGRFs have no possibiltiy to check for the OS.
However, for historical reasons OpenTTD knows two different colour palettes, one called "Windows" and one called "DOS". The "DOS" palette is the default one offers more colours than the Windows colour palette. Likely that NewGRF exists/existed in a version with the windows palette and the default DOS palette. You got the version in the windows palette (manual download anywhere?) and it tries to tell you "You use OpenTTD, which can use the DOS palette, thus get the correct version of this grf".

That error message is terrible, and doesn't mean what you think it means. Try the "Palette" switch in the settings for this NewGRF.

Here's how it looks in the NewGRF settings:
Re: Canadian (International) Roads v. 1.6.0
I've tried to toggle the palette for this NewGRF. Then, when I start a new game, there's no error message, but only the default blacktop roads appear.Eddi wrote:That error message is terrible, and doesn't mean what you think it means. Try the "Palette" switch in the settings for this NewGRF.
Besides, there's no way to set parameters in this version. So, all in all, this version appears next to useless.
Edit: This was the one that I had before and which worked fine:
http://ftp.snt.utwente.nl/pub/games/ope ... 6.3.tar.gz
Now it's been replaced with this version which is effectively useless:
http://ftp.snt.utwente.nl/pub/games/ope ... 3-3.tar.gz
Title of thread changed accordingly.

Re: Canadian (International) Roads v. 1.6.0
You're sure you are starting a game early enough for the dirt roads to appear, yes? They only show up before 1940 or so, IIRC.leifbk wrote:I've tried to toggle the palette for this NewGRF. Then, when I start a new game, there's no error message, but only the default blacktop roads appear.

Besides, the Canadian blacktop roads also look quite different from the default.
Re: Canadian (International) Roads v. 1.6.3
It could be an error with the NewGRF. But as OzTrans has stopped development of it, it may not ever be fixed.
Best I can suggest is that you privately contact OzTrans and see if he has a solution.

Not to be pedantic, but OzTrans was not threatening. As the creator of the file, he controls the copyright on it and, in all fairness, you did violate the license that was attached to those files. He had every right to enforce its removal. Why he chose to remove them from here is immaterial. OzTrans has made it clear that he does not want these files distributed by anybody else but himself.Revenge_of_KioTheDev wrote: ↑06 Jun 2023 10:26 because oztrans acted very threatening in a private message, i'm putting this here immediately...
