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)
Patches in trunk
- Ctrl-click-delete-sign: original idea & patch by Osai, re-written to make it fit for trunk. [trunk as of r13501 - thanks to SmatZ]
- most voluminous patch ever probably (13 characters overall length: 8 'normal' chars, 3 tabs, 1 space, 1 line feed): 'b' now works for building aqueducts, too. SmatZ' commit message probably took five times as long to write. [trunk as of r13481 - thx SmatZ].
- build previously used bridge type using Ctrl + drag [trunk since r14805 - thx to Rubidium]
- Persistant building tools (together with Sulai)[trunk r14902, thx to frosch]
- Access to freeform map edges via buttons instead of dropdown list [trunk as of r15212 - thx to Yexo]
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
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.
