The International Simutrans Forum

A new version of Simutrans-Experimental is available to-day: Simutrans 111.0 Experimental 10.10. See here (http://forum.simutrans.com/index.php?topic=1894.0) for more information on how to download, install and set up the latest version. For those already familiar with the installation and setup, here are some quick links:

   
• Windows binaries (https://github.com/downloads/jamespetts/simutrans-experimental/simutrans-experimental.zip)
• Linux binaries(x64) (https://github.com/downloads/jamespetts/simutrans-experimental/stexp1010) - (temporary version - thanks to dustNbone)
  
• Linux binaries (i386) - to follow
• Linux binaries (https://github.com/downloads/jamespetts/simutrans-experimental/simutrans-experimental-x64-server.bz2) (x64 - no graphics server)
• Linux binaries (https://github.com/downloads/jamespetts/simutrans-experimental/nettool) (x64 - nettool)
• Configuration files (https://github.com/downloads/jamespetts/simutrans-experimental/simutrans-experimental-config.zip)

Note that the Windows binaries contain the Windows version of the no-graphics server and Nettool. Neither the configuration files, Nettool nor Makeobj have been updated for this version. This is a bugfix version, which fixes reported issues in 10.9. I have included the version compiled with IPv4 only in the Windows binaries, as some users were reporting frequent desyncs when using Windows XP in 10.4.

Simutrans-Experimental 10.10 (together with Pak128.Britain-Ex 0.8.3) can be played online. See here (http://forum.simutrans.com/index.php?topic=8969.msg83568#msg83568) for details of the server.

This is a bug fix release. A full list of changes follows.

Changes since 10.9

   
• FIX: Incorrect recording of the number of generated passengers.
• FIX: Crash when editing an empty sign.
• FIX: Any player could remove public bridges and crossings.
• FIX: Actual industry density was calculated incorrectly when a game was loaded, leading to insufficient industries being generated.
• CHANGE: Add industry density proportion and actual industry density to the server/client checklist
• FIX: Possible crash on loading/saving
• FIX: Error in recording the last stop position of ships.
• FIX: Possible errors on loading in some cases
• FIX: Excess halt handles were created, which are suspected of causing crashes on loading in some cases.

• CHANGE: Increase the maximum number that can be entered in the vehicle replace dialogue.
• FIX: Memory corruption in the vector template (Richard Smith)
• FIX: Crashes associated with the vector fix

• FIX: Various memory issues (from Standard, adapted by Richard Smith)
• FIX: When stops were placed outside cities, passengers from those cities were not properly recorded as transported.
• FIX: Revenues were calculated incorrectly when the maximum comfort bonus level was reached

• FIX: Way constraints on a railway line were reset when a road crossing it was removed.
• FIX: Revision information in the network game dialogue and revision checking for network games.

Feedback and testing

Thanks also to all those who have tested Simutrans-Experimental and provided useful feedback: it is very much appreciated. Any feedback from this version would, as ever, also be very much appreciated, including (1) the new features from 10.4 (access, revenue sharing, player colour saving/transmission); (2) online play (see here (http://simutrans-germany.com/serverlist_ex/) for a list of Simutrans-Experimental servers); (3) general bug reports; (4) information as to how well-balanced that the game is; (5) any difference in approach/strategy needed for Simutrans-Experimental as over Simutrans-Standard; and (6) any other useful feedback.

Thanks again to all those who have worked to test Simutrans-Experimental, and happy playing!
