Snow Line Mods -------------- This version: Snow Line Mod nightly-r53 Contents: 1 About 2 Translations and contributions 3 License 4 Credits ------- 1 About ------- This NewGRF offers a snow line height which changes with the seasons. Name of this Repo: Snow Line Mod nightly-r53 Repository version: 53 GRF_ID: "IB" 01 05 MD5 sum: 3b6877ad413db32050a5c2f3871ea2fa snowlinemod.grf By default the snow line is at height 2 in January and at height 8 in July. The snow line height can be adjusted via parameters 1 and 2: Parameter 1: desired snow line height in January Parameter 2: desired snow line height in July The snow line height for the months in between is automatically adjusted linearily. E.g. if you want the snow line at level 3 in December/January and at level 9 in June/July, you set the parameters to 3 and 9 respectively. Also reversing the values to simulate the Southern hemisphere is possible; e.g. to simulate New Zealand climate you'd set them to 9 and 3 respectively. Be aware that not all graphics are snow-line aware and some assume a constant snow line. That is an issue with those graphics and out of scope of this NewGRF. Use house and industry sets which support this feature. Default houses and industries are not all aware of a changing snowline. -------------------------------- 2 Translations and contributions -------------------------------- Since OpenTTD r20225 it is possible to describe the parameters extensively and also to translate NewGRFs entirely. If you are missing a translation in your language, you can contact me and provide me with the translations. I'll add them gladly to the NewGRF and they'll become part of the next release. This NewGRF needs five strings translated: Variable Snowline height. Author: planetmaker Snow height in January Snow line height on 1st January. Height is in tiles. Default=2 Snow height in July Snow line height on 1st July. Height is in tiles. Default=8 Post the translations in the thread at tt-forums.net dedicated to this NewGRF http://www.tt-forums.net/viewtopic.php?p=897488#p897488 or contact me via private mail in that forum or e-mail to ottd@planetmaker.de If you have other proposals or comments regarding this NewGRF please be also free to share them with me. Even though I consider this NewGRF feature-complete at the time of writing, things may change as the game evolves and new possibilities emerge. --------- 3 License --------- The Snow Line Mod is written by Ingo von Borstel (aka planetmaker) and is free to use for anyone under the terms of the GNU Pulic License v2 or higher.
