What!? no planttrees cheat? you mean we have to go back to the dark days of planting trees tile by tile.Raichase wrote:3. Use of sign cheats, the debugger, or the scenario editor is not allowed. We have ways to check if these things have been done.
Oh and you do realise Raichase that you will probably cry when you realise what your little network of the 20's has become like when weirdy has made a hash of all of our hard work. Good ole weirdy!

Well, we COULD use signcheats if we use cheatscost, but there is no way of knowing people will use it

2011-2021, please!
Awesome, I can't wait until it's my decade. This is going to be fun.
Edit:
I prefer freightrains 1, but I could live with anything up to about 3 or maybe 4. 5 I can barely contain the insanity of slowly accelerating trains. (who takes a whole week to get 12 cars to maximum velocity?)
I would have liked a game with the original graphics, but I can understand how that might not be desirable to others.
Enhance Tunnels - YESYESYESPLEASE.
Path-based Signalling - I have some settings I'd like to suggest when I get back to my other computer so as to avoid automatic conversion for those players who don't want to touch PBS.
Autoslope - Yes, please.
Autorenew - If this is the setting that deals with replacing locomotives with their equivalent at the end of their life, then yes, please.
Autoreplace - No, thank you!
Save optional data sounds like a good idea.

cant autorenew be turned on off by individuals, say we want to upgrade rather than renew?

Flamelord: I look forward to your suggested settings for PBS - if nobody disagrees with them, lets use them!
Round 1 is full. I'll be writing up a sample config later tonight (hopefully), and a sample newgrf (hopefully). If anyone else has any suggestions for eaither, nows the time. I'll post them up here when they are done, and everyone can pick it apart (for example, if enough people want switch x to be set to whatever, then thats fine - I'm happy to go with a majority, I don't mind trying new settings, or settings I don't ususally use).
EDIT: Does anyone object to using the nightlies?
I'd prefer it if we all used the same config... Autorenew is fine, you get a set amount of time to upgrade your vehicle - I keep it on 6 months, but for this game, I'd probably have it at 12 months?robotboy wrote:cant autorenew be turned on off by individuals, say we want to upgrade rather than renew?

excellent idea, Raichase. The selection of grf's looks to make for an interesting game.

Another GRF I've remembered that I'd like to add are these new semaphores by Ronstar (download here). They are much easier to see than the defaults and it is more obvious which ones are PBS and not.
Screenshots of said signals can be found here:

Dave: It doesn't? Oh well then, scrap that idea.

I don't want to object directly, but we should take into account that it wouldn't be helpful if somebody's play is interupted by a bug in one of the nightly builds. And another question is, how long is each player's time frame to finish his or her decade? Which also speaks against the nightlies, because within a few days of real life (because I don't expect the round to be finished in fewer than 2 or 3 days), there might be one or more new versions of the nightly build, which may lead to confusion which version is to be used...Raichase wrote:Does anyone object to using the nightlies?

And here's my 2 cents on the config:
- tracerestrict: This indeed is a very nifty feature, which I haven't yet fully explored (but I think I have some time left until round 2....)
- adjacentstations: The other great feature by JGR, which turns my voice for using the beta a little down...
The rest is OK in my opinion; the main difference is pbs, where I use 31 instead of 30 (but that shouldn't be much of a problem for me or any other participant who normally uses 31 or 15).
I think the participants of each round should tweak the switches for their round - or is there any reason for keeping the same config of switches between rounds? Same question for the version - but if the Nightlies are going to be used in a given round, a certain version number should be "locked in".
