Just started a new map in multiplayer in r5990 and realized somewhy a neutral player isnt able to place factories. Do you know why it happens and how it could be avoided?
Also in this nightly build I cant put new factories on old maps/savegames I played in old nightly builds/versious.
Upd. Actually if I put "Only town factories" or "Only not in town factories" checkbox in "Add a new factory" menu, and try to put a new factory, it builds one (or couple of them, didnt really notice), but not in those place I wanted. Most likely it builds much closer to the city if I selected "Only town factories" checkbox.
Upd2. Updated to 5991, the same issue.
In multiplayer, factories can be placed by a client/human that has public player unlocked. This was added to prevent cheating/hacking, where a hacked client could circumvent some checks.
There seems to be a bug with placing single factories. But this bug should only be present in network mode.
Is it fixable? Makes it hard to play, since me & my buddy are playing sort of very customized multiplayer game, with putting industry zones in special places and other stuff, and not having this option to place factories where ever we want makes our idea of custom towns map sort of impossible.
If you can compile the program yourself, then changing line 4600 in simwerkz.cc to 'return true;' should fix it. (not tested)
Placing factories in offline mode should work (ie not multiplayer, not on server). Save your network game, load it again in offline mode (simutrans not started as server), place factories, save, restart server. Of course, this is not convenient, but better than waiting for the fix to propagate to the nightly page.
No, I dont know how to compile...
Will it be fixed in the next nightly build though? It can wait a day for sure.
Did the offline method work?
I cannot make any promises, when it will be fixed. :-X It's done, when it's done.
Offline method doesnt really suit my partner :(
Well I hope you will fix it on days, meanwhile I will downgrade to the older build. Will check nightly few days later, thank you.
should be fixed in r5992.
It works! Thank you again mate.
thanks for reporting :)
