Subsidiaries management (latest build: r7213)

If this could be combined with multiplayer it would make an interesting new type of game, like a hybrid of co-op and competitive play, where you can co-operate on building infrastructure but still compete over cargo transportation, by having everyone join the same company but play as different subsidiaries.

It already does that. All players can already control different companies and use the opponents' infrastructures (against a fee, of course). It also works in multiplayer.

I would never use it.
1)since my busy jubctions are built for a MAX of 6 tile trains these 40 long trains would gridlock it.
2)Also some player would crash there train into mine or stop one of there trains on the main line.

soloutions for problem 2:
stop/start and run red signal commands for the owner of the TRACK not the TRAIN.

No good. Track owner would just run the opponents' trains off to dead-end sidings and stop them there. Or, worse yet, crash them there.

i just love this patch. we've played 6 hours last night with an old integrated nightly (I4 if i recall correctly) to have subsidiaries and multiplayer.

if your competitors play decent this is amazing in multiplayer. i helped the guy out with too complex junctions... and then i cash a few mil every year for his trains running on them.

of course, if players get nasty fun could be over very fast. even without crashing trains: cou can add crossections on your opponent lines which could slow down his whole mainline and it would take a year before he notices.. (on a big map) For private gaming it's perfect though

I've create a new diff-file, so that you can now patch subsidiaries in r3675.
I've startet a game, could overtake a company and let the trainis share rails, depos and stations.
Exchanging money works too.
So I think it should all work properly.

If not, please reply, so that I can fix it.

There is no windows-build, because I have no Windows on my computer.

I have patched all localized laguages, that were in the last patch. I hope they work. The german translation works.

Hi!

I have done the patch for r3729 and corrected a little bug.
The station owner for bus-stops was always set to 0.
This was corrected in the windows-build, I posted, too.

I try to post a windows build this evening (in europe

).

Edit: There are some changes in the settings gui. I have to updtae those things in the patch.

Finally its working.
I will upload a widowsbuild as soon as I can.

Edit: uploaded a new Patch, which includes the dutch translation
I have recent builds for Debian teting and FreeBSD 5.4, if anyone needs them, just ask.

Thief^ · Post by **Thief^** » 03 Mar 2006 02:25

On the previous page is a dutch translation, would you add this to your patch? (To stop the next person forgetting it too).
You can upload new files into your last post by editing it.

Also, could someone change the thread title to the new build?

gagarin · Post by **gagarin** » 03 Mar 2006 07:12

I can't change the title, since im not allowd to change the first post. It has to be done from a moderator or LordOfThePigs.

LordOfThePigs · Post by **LordOfThePigs** » 03 Mar 2006 20:12

Done!

gagarin · Post by **gagarin** » 04 Mar 2006 09:20

Thx LordOfThePigs.

Here is the latest windows build.

Edit: I uploaded a wrong file.

Hello,

I tried to patch it but tortoiseSVN says something like "Line Index: is missing. Maybe the file is empty or it is not a diff file"

What did I wrong?

Thanks for your help

You could try with this one.
It's done with svn. The other one was done per hand.

Thief^ · Post by **Thief^** » 07 Mar 2006 11:51

Yeah, hand-altering .diff files isn't good. Remember that the diff file keeps record of the line number a section starts for both the original and modifed versions. Or something like that anyway, I had to hand-modify one of the previous .diff files to remove my custom build settings and correct a diffing error: the diff file was made with svn but wouldn't patch back onto svn for some reason I can't remember now. The key is to check whether it works every time you change something.

gagarin · Post by **gagarin** » 07 Mar 2006 12:01

It wasn't hand altered. It was done with diff instead of svn.

I tried this patch against a fresh checkout of rev 3778, and while the patch applies cleanly, the build fails miserably, with many complaints that it cannot find subsidiaries.h.

And, by the way, my build environment is Linux.
