Started playing TTD: don't know exactly, but it it was still in the nineties TTO
Joined #openttdcoop: autumn 2007, member since 25 April 2008 ("...change that patch setting yourself..." ;) )
Prefers: low to moderate terraform; fluent, well-designed networks and nice eye-candy
Dislikes: congestions. Permanent quick hacks and bypasses
Best at: don't know - probably ML mergers, SLHs and small fixes
Patches & other coding work
- worked on the integration of the patch(es) for wwottdgd/2
- Restrict terraform to one tile only (patch option): one-tile-tf for r13397
- Restrict changes of company and manager name as well as company colour on a per-company basis (patch option)
- patch collection:client_patches.diff - modifies client-side only things. Playable with any server
- Coder of OpenGFX (download)
- Coder of 2cc Train Set
- Contributor to FIRS and HEQS (mainly their build systems)

- (svn r17704) -Codechange: [OSX] Improve detection of OS X version.
- (svn r17448) -Change [FS#2997]: buy vehicles instead of building them; makes it consistent with selling.

- (svn r14805) -Feature [FS#2238]: pressing CTRL while dragging to build a bridge build the last built bridge type if possible (planetmaker)
- (svn r14152) -Fix (r14146): Apple decided to use a name I wanted to use... thus making compilation fail on OSX (planetmaker)
- (svn r13501) -Feature(tte): ctrl+click on sign you own to remove it (Osai, planetmaker) - rewritten; original idea and patch by Osai
- (svn r13481) -Codechange: add 'B' keyboard shortcut to build aqueduct (planetmaker) - most voluminous patch ever probably (13 characters overall length: 8 'normal' chars, 3 tabs, 1 space, 1 line feed): SmatZ' commit message probably took five times as long to write.
Personal wishlist & collection of ideas
- GUI for rcon
- diagonal terraform
- infrastructure sharing
- Wiki page on development
- HG repository for development
- switch: train control by owner (esp. depots)
- switch: waypoints block yes/no
- programmable waypoints or signals
- airbrush like tree placement in the scenario editor
- percentage of tree coverage for maps
- variable station size for placement
- disable stockpiling / placement restrictions
- patchsetting for terraform-size on a per-company basis
- rivers generated upon map creation (WIP)
- more than one dock per station
- give money per company and not per player
- nested train groups:
- coal trains
- coal trains to A
- coal trains from B
- coal trains length 3
- coal trains length 5
- coal trains from C
- coal trains length 3
- coal trains length 5
- coal trains from B
- coal trains to A
- PAX trains
- ICE trains
- ICE ABC
- ICE A->B->C->A
- length 4
- length 8
- ICE A->C->B->A
- ICE A->B->C->A
- ICE ABC

- coal trains
OpenTTD wishes listed here which came true
- grf info for station tiles (trunk. Thx SmatZ)
- improved quick goto (faster giving orders) [trunk since r14827 - thx Rubidium]
- more clients [trunk since r14730 - thx Rubidium]
Random OpenTTD stories and poems
SmatZ works on a pool.
That is so very cool
having clients more and more,
features we adore.
It's just so very sweet -
let's hope he will succeed.
