simutrans 101.0 query

[druid]

Hi all I have just upgraded to the new build 101.0, and also pak128 britain. In the old 100.0 build you were able to build houses, factories etc. However these appear to be missing in the new build. Are these going to be include in time. Good graphics by the way.
regards

I don't know about pak128 britain, but usually you have to switch to the "public authority" (switch players with key: shift-P) to get these functions. Actually, it depends on the menu definitions of the pak-set.

Hi !

to switch to public services, press "k" button and click on the arrow next to public player. A new icon is appeared in the main toolbar, it's the map edition tool, click and you'll have all tools to build factories, citybuildings, monuments, tourist attractions, ...

When you create factory one by one, remember connect them with factory conecting tool.

When you finish, don't forget to switch back to human player.

If you mean about map editor, you need public authority as described above - PakBritain should be no different from anything else.  Unless you mean specific buildings that are missing from the pak?

Welcome to the Simutrans Community Druid. 

What you mention about version 100.0 is correct. When you were in your regular 'player' company you could build the many industries/attractions and town buildings.

This was corrected in version 101.0 so that it was only possible as the 'Public Service' entity. This had been the expected and historic behaviour of Simutrans.

Allowing the companies to build these structures directly may have been a way to test the Build Interface as it was revamped by z9999 at this time.

Your going to have to Switch Players in Version 101.0 using one of the methods already indicated

Just tried to change player and keep getting the message that no change is possible as player change is locked.
any ideas

There is an option to allow player change when you start a new map - as far as I know if you disallow this then that's it for that game, you'll have to start a new one to allow player change (and therefore use of the editor).
