Does this patch also increase the number of allowed companies, or just the number of clients?

number of clients only, increasing the number of companies is a little more tricky

none the less, a game with up to 55 clients (as the #wwottdgd binares are patched currently) is still a bunch of fun, and something different than what you are normally used to :-)

Hmm, I hope the company limit won't be too much of a problem. I planned to start a company of my own (playing the game from start to finish...), and invite friends of mine to work as a team but... I can't really guarantee that they will have time. :P And you can't easily merge companies in a multiplayer game. :X

One solution would be limiting the game to one company, but that would be little boring. I kinda hate seeing the whole map covered in one color. :lol:

Companies can be registered at http://wiki.openttd.org/index.php/WWOTTDGD1

please submit nick names of the players that will be in that company...

Registered a company with just the name 'Board 2' (formely known as Acmlm board 2) due to the players I'm going to invite comes from that community. The list might seem a little bit short now, but it's going to grow bigger. Just need to ask around first. :P

I want to participate.. but I'm unsure how long can I play it. I put my name in the Register here, if unsure..
If someone's going to make those companys of unsure ones, please put me in the best one avilable :D:D

The other thing is that when the 55 player limit comes in way, then I think I don't mind leaving me out. I really can't play at night and I'm not such a good player either. (though in multiplayer cames where have I cooped with someone, they always said wow nice work here etc...and the company where I was, suddenly started to double and triple it's incomes...)

Hope the limit won't be a problem, if it won't, count me in.

Hmm, I wonder if the wwottdgd build will at least sync with trunk once before the game. I think lots of people might want to play with "halftile- and anti-zig-zag-foundations" which was just introduced recently. :P

as we are still working on last minute patches, i am pretty sure we will have to make a new wwottdgd binary, and that will probably be a newer version...

I'm sure he would, I myself am even running from your friends :lol:

So it's this saturday---sunday....
I have just one question.. when will the companys (of the ones that haven't choosed anything) formed? So if the companies are being made, I want to speak too. I didn't put myself in any company just because I don't know so much people here, but that doesn't mean I just want to lurk around in that game, but that I want to build and build, but I just doon't know with who....

PS. I hope that game will be the most wonderful and funny game that I have ever played

we have a patch so we can move people around in the game... so it should not really be an issue :-)

actually, afaik we are going to force everybody to join as spectator and move people into their companies, which allows us a certain sanity level :-)

Sounds great and looks promising.

If I can be online for a bit I'm in. Admins can just assign me to any company at that time.

In the wiki http://wiki.openttd.org/index.php/World ... nt_Roadmap it says that all patches are tested together against 11344, but at the goget place for the binaries there are the old ones r11255. Now the question. Are they being compiled now, or is there a place one can get them already. I would like to update my wwottdgd revision but where?... i hope I didn't sound too confuzing :D

OT: Also i can see, that for todays session only source and win32binary have been complied in nightlys sectionhttp://www.openttd.org/nightly.php hmm. that's a question I think I have to ask elsewhere...

All versions seem to be there when i check. Maybe they just hadn't finished when you checked
