[online] Function for the clients that start.

[Yona-TYT]

I need a function similar to "function resume_game ()" and "function start ()", but only activate when a client joins a server .... something like "function client_start ()" ... is to show the scenario sale every time a player starts.

example:

Code Select Expand

function client_start()
{
  gui.open_info_win_at("goal")

  }

You could use resume_game. Is this not working?

The documentation for resume_game() says "This function is called when a savegame with active scenario is loaded.". Is there a guaranteed 1 to 1 relationship between loading a save game and joining a server?

I have tried with:

Code Select Expand

gui.open_info_win_at("goal")
I'm afraid it does not work. 


You can test my script here:

Sorry for the wrong information: of course, any open_info_win works only locally at the server.

In terms of the game state: yes, but not in terms of gui.

Too bad, it would be good if each player could see the script rules at the moment of starting.

Edit:
Now I see it, the function is executed, but the window is shown only on the server.

It would be good for clients to use a different function, in my humble opinion.

I could modify the open_info_win function to open the window for all clients. Also somehting like open_info_win_player(player_nr) which opens the window only if clients are allowed to play with the given player/company.

One could also always open the scenario window if a savegame with scenario is loaded.

What do you think?

Thank you so much  ...
I like this function "open_info_win_player (player_nr)", but I would also like to indicate the tab, something like "open_info_win_player (player_nr, goal)"

I added a function open_info_win_client, which does the job:

also all the open_info_win functinos now open the window on server & clients.

thank you very much !!.

It seems that something is wrong, clients do not show the scenario window. 

Another detail, I noticed a lot of deicronization compared to the last time I did tests, is something causing problems ?. 

[Dwachs]

It is only shown on clients that are connected when another joins. Should be fixed in r8395

player_nropens scenario info window on all clients that have this player unlocked.

I thought the player number was to show scenario window only if the client is using that player.
