Game Time

[Krisztian]

it would be possible to slow the time down into the game? and most how dared then I would like to operate separate night lines
my other question it that it would be solvable that the buses trams trolleys undergrounds trains no% if let them not be in service according to time for example 5 and 6 minute or 2 clocks this latter the long-distance one is true for buses

[Combuijs]

Yes, I have a microwave oven at home too!

(Krisztian: 1) follow an english course, 2) some punctuation (.,) would be nice as well)

it would be possible to slow the time down into the game?

This is already possible in simuconf.tab.

and most how dared then I would like to operate separate night lines

What?

my other question it that it would be solvable that the buses trams trolleys undergrounds trains no% if let them not be in service according to time for example 5 and 6 minute or 2 clocks this latter the long-distance one is true for buses

I assume you're asking if convois can be scheduled via time instead of percents. This is not currently possible, although it is under discussion already.

Please, only post one idea at a time. Technically, your first request is already possible, so I moved this to Help Requests. Your other question should be merged with the appropriate topic, but I cannot split posts, so it will languish here with your other request.

Do you speak (natively) any of the languages on this forum? I ask because we're glad to answer questions, but it is so difficult to communicate with you - nearly impossible.

What languages do you speak? Perhaps we have someone here that could help you communicate with us better.

[Krisztian]

This is already possible in simuconf.tab.

and there where?

[IgorEliezer]

Krisztian, you should make an effort to find things by yourself.

I didn't also know where "bits_per_month" is until now, right now. I merely searched for "bits_per_month" in both files (please, open both files and press F3 or go to "Edit" menu and click on "Search", and type "bits_per_month"). I found "bits_per_month" in less than 2 seconds. I said TWO seconds.

"bits_per_month" is in Simutrans Config.

[Spike]

IIRC it should work in both tabs. Pak settings overrides global, I think, so one should be able to have different timings for different pak sets.

it would not be possible to solve it so the buses trams undergrounds trains how I make it there is a service like that the numbering of which 200E and into the library of the game to create a dat file 200E to write into this on a name to connect the times and this to the game
would this be solvable so?
this occurred to me today and I believed it I ask it



wait I make dat file



I thought of things like this look at it the dat file

feasible?
good night please answer

Althought Isaac mentioned before that I wouldn't be possible to scheduled convois via time instead of percents, I think you might achieve it using waiting month time parameter in a smart way. I mean, if you make them wait a similar period of time at each stop. let's say 5 minutes as you suggested, then you may get what you want.

Obviusly, the schedule timing also depends on the distance between stops. I mean, you must take into account the time the vehicle needs to get to the next stop.

You've more info about month wait time at this topic ..

[Krisztian]

if a little back up you read see that I went into detail about this that let me get it over with to slow the time down in the game

answering your other proposition though according to me the buses trams undergrounds trains stb. not burden but passenger traffic is carried because of this I would like it at these the % basis to exchange a load for a departure according to time understand?
