Quick Setup Guide for Canadian Trains Set v0.3d [18 Apr 2008]

** For more detailed information see Canadian Trains Set User Guide **


The set is compatible with TTDPatch 2.6 alpha [r1758+] and OpenTTD v0.6 nightlies [r12283+].


The following TTDPatch flags are mandatory and must be set in ttdpatch.cfg as follows :

  - newtrains on
  - electrifiedrailway on
  - multihead 0
  - trainrefit on
  - newindustries/newcargos on [for set internal industry/cargo feature]


Parameter Settings :

TTDPatch : in newgrf[w].cfg, locate the entry for the set and add parameter(s) at the end of the line, separated by a space. Use default setting(s) for parameter(s) not set.
e.g. newgrf\CanSetw.grf 0 128

OpenTTD : in NewGRF settings window, select the set and click on 'Set parameters' and enter parameters, separated by a space. Use default setting(s) for parameter(s) not set.

Parameter 1 - Snowline Option :

0 - [default] no snow in temperate or level 7 in arctic.
1 .. 15 - set snow line height to level 1 to 15.
129 .. 132 - seasonally changing snow line (4 scenarios) :
129 - up to level 14 in summer, down to level 3 in winter (deep winter, hot summer).
130 - up to level 14 in summer, down to level 7 in winter (mild winter, hot summer).
131 - up to level 10 in summer, down to level 3 in winter (sub-arctic winter).
132 - up to level  7 in summer, down to level 3 in winter (arctic winter).


Parameter 2 - New cargo/industry support

*** BEWARE *** Copper vector has been changed in v0.3d ***
Use sign cheat 'Cht: ReloadIndustries' before continuing older saved games that have used the copper vector.

0 - [default] feature deactivated.
1 - adds paper industry (paper, paper mill and printing works) in temperate climate.
2 - adds food industry (food, food processing plant and town buildings accepting food) in temperate climate.
4 - adds iron ore/steel industries (iron ore, steel, iron ore mine, ore processing plant and metal fabrication plant) in arctic climate.
8 - adds copper industry (copper ore, copper [the metal], ore processing and metal fabrication plants), available in both climates; 
128 - 'new' cargo type support ...

Note: if the set detects any ECS vectors it will default to 128 regardless of setting; if playing with option(s) 1,2,4 or 8 is desired, then any other 'new' industry/cargo sets must be deactivated. The parameter could be left at 15 for all internal industries, then activating any ECS vectors will disable internal industries/cargo and enable 'new' cargo support automatically.


'New' Industry/Cargo Support :

Any 'new' cargo type is supported, as long as it was listed in the wiki specifications on January 11, 2008, as explained in the user guide in more detail.

Parameter 2 controls 'new' industry/cargo support as follows :

a) it is deactivated by default.
b) any ECS vector loaded will activate this feature automatically.
c) for any other 'new' industry/cargo sets, e.g. Pikka Basic, Brick Chain, Tourist Tower to name a few, parameter 2 must be set to 128.
d) if no other 'new' industry/cargo sets are loaded, you may play with the internal extra added industries as per user guide.
e) at any time in a game, there will be at least one freight car (standard and narrow gauge) available to transport available and supported cargo types.
