Oh wow!
Now I know why it placed some random text next to the station name sometimes on random occasions.

Is there somewhere to set how much money the company will have at start-up? I noticed in some scenarios that there was a lot of money available from the start, but one for example paid for canals from the start to make rivers and lakes, so I'm wondering if it was more of a save game converted to a scenario.

Well, glory, finally, this penalty sometimes turned me on, especially when it was only a measly half of the field and the train immediately waited for an unnecessarily long time.

I'd like to report I tried loading the savegame from 0.56.1 (which had the "Assertion failed at line 100 of /src/core/span_type.hpp: offset + count <= size()" error when trying to place a railway station) in the 0.56.2. Now the game throws the same error when attempting to load that savegame. I am running English (UK) localization.

i too encountered this error on a new game further i'd like to point out once the ingame date gets to 79455 the clock in the bottom left gets all screwed up if you reload the save or set date after 79455
first i thought my openttd.cfg was corrupt but no even no grf's and vanilla config file does it.
EDIT1: EDIT2: i rolled back to 0.56.1 and the issue is gone.

V56.1
If starting a new game, the AI scripts (which had been set to specific scripts) are now set to random.
If I add specific AI player scripts then reload the game they revert to random. It didn't use to do this.
Has something changed that I've missed?

Hi there, long time lurker, first time poster. I was playing TTD on may trusty PS1 and then OpenTTD for many years, but I've never bothered with the patch packs, boy I was sooooo wrong... So many quality of life improvements caused me to stay with the game much longer than usual.
Nevertheless, the whole patch pack is absolutely great, the only function that is missing for my experience is automation of some options regarding the Local Authorities. I'm playing with the town growth disabled and only allowing the growth after the buildings are funded - clicking on 15 towns "Fund New Buidlings" every 3 months is getting cumbersome, I've found that CityMania has those options implemented, and it's pretty vanilla comparing to the JGR's Patch pack, I was wondering if it's even possible to combine those two? Or is there a gamescript that allows me to automate local authorities actions?
I've looked into the gamescripts creation, but it's way over my head currently, and I'd spent 20 days working on it and probably still getting nowhere
I could play the CityMania fork, but this patch is so much better and I couldn't go back to the world without the signals on bridges and tunnels under the see
This is how it looks on the CityMania build:

I think a bug cropped up in 0.56.2; I went from 0.56.1 to 0.56.2 and upon generating a new map certain cars (narrow gauge rolling stock) either don't appear or expire way too early.
I'm using a bunch of newgrfs but nothing changed other than the versions of JGR's; the rolling stock in question is from the NARS 2CC pack.
I'm also running a daylengthfactor of 40 but I don't think that affects anything.

This is a known issue with NARS, it is not compliant with the specification: https://github.com/OpenTTD/OpenTTD/pull/11635.AdmiralEllis wrote: ↑12 Jan 2024 20:05 I think a bug cropped up in 0.56.2; I went from 0.56.1 to 0.56.2 and upon generating a new map certain cars (narrow gauge rolling stock) either don't appear or expire way too early.

Thanks. I'm not aware of a game script which does this in this way, but there may be one.Tommy88 wrote: ↑11 Jan 2024 15:39 Hi there, long time lurker, first time poster.

This is how it looks on the CityMania build:
I don't have any plans at the moment to add this sort of functionality, the city-builder play style and player base is quite separate from everything else, for the most part.
If the button is always pressed every three months, at a high level it's equivalent to not turning off town growth in the first place.
There are plenty of existing scripts which control town growth directly according to a wide variety of conditions, rather than indirectly by using manual company actions. It may be worth looking into whether any of those are suitable.
Re: JGR's Patch Pack

Thanks for the answer. That's just my problem, I'm somewhere between the city builder and transport mogul type
I wanted the best control over the city growth and a place where I could spend excess money, but I think I'll just look for some good gamescript for city growth and lower the income to not have millions of dollars in the bank just waiting there. Set it up so the city cannot build any roads/bridges etc. so I'll still have complete control on how big they'll grow - in the end I can always disable the city growth per city in the local authorities window if needed
Sometimes people fix on the idea, and not think of the possible workaround, and You are absolutely correct... pressing the button every 3 months is just me triggering the city growth and makes me hate a game a little for that...

This script allows you to set taxes, I don't know if there are any others.

Lately it happens that I change the color of the transport company, but the individual groups of vehicles ignore the new setting.
It simply doesn't update the default color, but as soon as I specify a default everywhere separately, a new one is assigned.
This will only happen with the secondary color.

If you have a save which is behaving incorrectly I can take a look.
Edit: If you are not using the most recent release, upgrade to that first and re-test as this is already fixed, see: https://github.com/OpenTTD/OpenTTD/pull/11614

No, I don't paint each vehicle separately, just occasionally, I usually use the same colors for the whole company.
But it is not a problem to update the colors manually and make a motley company
