[request]{solved}-building whilst paused?

[Hobgoblin]

are ther any mods available to allow building whilst paused i love to play around with my layouts i also like to lots of comlicated junctions that help to make trains run freely but it takes several game years when i make a really complicated and long route over 20 game years in 1 case and i kept having to stop to replace trains etc on other routes

also if i am altering a current route i also have to stop all the trains
i recently developed a new junction mainly to use as station entrances it allows any train to use any station with 3 tracks and allows 3 trains to arrive sinultainiously without any of them having to wait but it took several game years to modify my track and all my trains had to wait all that time

i did search both manually and with the site search but didnt find any reference to a current mod please point me in the correct direction if i missed it

otherwise anybody fancy trying 1 or wud it involve modding the exe file
i have just been reading the post about this
i have no idea how easy or hard it would be as i feel clever just ading a mod

thanks Hobbs

Well, the unpatched version is easy: Just clik on the leave game button but dont put away the opo-up, you can build now for free and the game has stopped as far i know

Hi

I used the build whilst paused feature a lot when I played (except competition play).

As illegal Alien stated...its a 'feature' of the unpatched vesion of the game. I didnt patch, ever, due to placing more value on being able to build whilst paused than on the minor bugs fixed.

A small clarification though. It still costs money to build whilst paused. If you build a lot, and I mean a lot, the little '£100' signs that float away will stop appearing. There is a limit on how many there can be on the map any one time. Even though there is no new £100 signs appearing as you lay your railroad the cost is still being incurred.

You can do some serious building and station catchment manipulation on on 01Jan1900 using this build on pause feature. Just give the game a few minutes after loading before you attempt it otherwise it wont work.

And to a fellow 'builder whilst paused'...Good luck..and enjoy.

bin using this i like it very simple and the quick track builder is very good
for those who havnt used this when u want the game to stay paused click F5 it instantly re-pauses when the game trys to unpause so only a tiny moment of time passes not a true pause but far better than without and the quick track builder is a great bonus and also easy to use
thanks
