Here's the latest alpha version: http://www.ttdpatch.net/src/

For a change, this one does have a few new things for players (as opposed 
to just new graphics authors).  The first change is related to vehicle 
names.  These will now be remembered if you sell a vehicle and immediately 
buy a new one.  Also, with generalfixes on, all vehicle messages (getting 
old, lost, in depot etc.) will use the vehicle names, instead of just the 
vehicle number as it is now.  You can disable this change using miscmods 
bit 10 (value 1024).

Another change is the button at the bottom of refit dialogs, which now 
shows a generic "refit vehicle", instead of "refit aircraft" or "refit 
ship" which would also show up for trains or road vehicles.

The last visible change will be that from now on, the water at the edges of 
the map will flood into adjacent tiles as well.  This can be somewhat 
dangerous if you play a game where this would flood major areas of the map, 
and so you can disable this feature using miscmods bit 15 (value 
32768).  For a list of all current miscmods bits, please see

This alpha also includes Marcin's recent fixes which should help with 
running TTDPatch under Linux using wine.


All changes in 2.0.1 alpha 16:
- got rid of old, misguided myalloc code
- made vehicle news messages (old/lost/in depot) use vehicle name,
   not just the number, enabled by generalfixes (unless miscmods bit
   10, value 1024 is set)
- save custom vehicle name when selling and buying again
- make edges of the world flood too, enabled by generalfixes (unless
   miscmods bit 15, value 32768 is set)
- change refit window button labels, "refit aircraft" and "refit
   ship", to generic "refit vehicle" that fits all four types
- allow accessing other grf's params in action 0D (source2=FE,
   data=GRFID)
- included changes from Marcin's version 2.0.1 alpha 15.1 MG:
   * Windows version can do without MessageBoxW (apparently
     required to work under the current version of Wine), but then
     if an error occurs it cannot display the message
   * The 'stretchwindow' switch is no longer displayed in the DOS
     version's switch table
   * (devel) removed duplicate code to obtain the handle of
     USER32.DLL
