The Alpine Climate will be a variant of the well-known Temperate Climate. Of course, itīll have snow and its own alpine-style buildings and (maybe) its own industries.
Unfortunately, the implementation of the needed changes for the patch will last a good while. Thatīs why Iīve decided to release my test and development version (v0.0) now.
However, this version (0.0) is still based on the Arctic climate, though itīs
looking perfectly "alpine".
It still contains the original arctic industries and products and in
addition those arctic
specialities like the need for feeding towns above snow-line are still in effect.
This will be changed as soon as thereīs progress with the patchīs implementation.
The Alpine Climate is available in a DOS ("alpine.zip") and in a Windows version ("alpinew.zip"). Just copy the files from the appropriate alpine .zip file into the "newgrf" directory under your TTD main directory and add the names of the .grf files to your "newgrf.cfg" resp. "newgrfw.cfg" file.
Youīll need TTDPatch version 2.0.1 alpha 49 (or higher) to run the Alpine Climate.
The actual version of the Alpine Climate is 0.0 (grf-ID is 6D 62 07 00)
and itīs of Apr 5th, 2005.
There is no need to set any special variables in "ttdpatch.cfg".
The Alpine Climate is fully compliant with NewStations v0.4, i.e. stations above snowline will be shown with snowy graphics and those below snowline will include correct temperate ground tiles.
Youīll need the DB Set XL v.0.82 for the Alpine Climate.

Patagonia pages.
None so far.
V0.0 (Apr 5th, 2005) - first release.

The availability of new graphics was only made possible by the outstanding work of
Josef Drexler and
Marcin Grzegorczyk on TTDPatch. The "newhouses" patch, which is of
vital importance for the Alpine Climate, was written by Csaba Varga.
In particular Iīd like to express my gratitude to Josef for the fruitful
collaboration during further developing the TTDPatch.
