Alpha: 2.0.1 alpha 63

Hi all,

the latest alpha version is as usual at http://www.ttdpatch.net/src/

This one has a few goodies again.  The first one was written by Oskar 
Eisemuth.  With "autoslope on", you can raise and lower land below 
existing tracks and it will automatically create foundations.  This only 
works when the track is compatible with the new land shape of course, 
but it allows you to do some basic landscaping without having to first 
remove all tracks.

The other new switch is an improvement to the good old "autorenew" 
switch.  With "autoreplace on", the patch supports replacing vehicles 
with better models.  Note however that this is predetermined by the 
various .grf sets, which still need to add support for it.  This means 
that currently the player has no choice what loco will be used as 
upgrade, instead the vehicle set determines this.  The only choice you 
have is setting the minimum required reliability as a switch option. 
The default value here is 80%.  For testing purposes, I've made a 
replacement scheme for the DBSetXL which you may download at 
http://www.ttdpatch.net/src/newgrfdemo/dbsetxl_rep.grf - it uses 
different locos for mainline and local services, and of course 
differentiates properly between freight and passenger locos.

Enjoy!

Josef


All changes in 2.0.1 alpha 63:
- fixed bug in var.action 2 <vadadjust> divide/modulo operation
- added player colour info to var. 43
- new switch, "autoreplace on" to automatically replace vehicles with
   better models when they get old (needs .grf support to define what
   models are "better"), will only use models with given min. reliability
- by Oskar: new switch "autoslope on" allows lowering land under tracks
   and automatically builds foundations there
- by Csaba:
   * cargo property 9 should now be usable for cargoes that already have
     a bit defined, and should disable the previous bit. A special value
     FF will remove the slot from cargo type listings.
   * (devel) commented some of my previously uncommented code, more to
     come...
   * fixed bug in load/unload code that made trains deliver cargo to
     stations which didn't accept it
- added two new tests to action 7/9
- made backward jumps to labels work (but still not safe in most cases)
- fixed display of food/water received by town last month
- fixed action 0 with allocation to not run out of IDs during
   initialization
