For passengers? Hm. I really do need to reduce the passenger factor.

AP · « **Reply #141 on:** November 27, 2012, 09:04:05 AM »

Added private roads to hopefully relieve overcrowding on city roads. Will need redesign of lines (pending). Earthworks are (rightly) **** expensive though!

I wondered why the map was talking so long to load, so I looked at it and they are nearly 70mb. Is this intended?

AP · « **Reply #143 on:** November 27, 2012, 10:34:08 PM »

And that's without trees! Nice canals, btw. :-)

AP · « **Reply #144 on:** November 27, 2012, 10:43:05 PM »

Do canals have limited capacity, or are they, like oceans, essentially unlimited (no congestion etc)?

ӔO · « **Reply #145 on:** November 27, 2012, 11:16:24 PM »

unlimited. you can use them if you want, since they are impossible to jam

AP · « **Reply #146 on:** November 27, 2012, 11:19:10 PM »

I was just wary of the maintenance of them, I don't know how that works out in reality, but any linear route has a lot of tiles, so they could really add up.

jamespetts · « **Reply #147 on:** November 27, 2012, 11:47:07 PM »

Sadly, the high map size is inevitable as there are vast amounts of data to transfer on these larger maps. If the passenger factor were lower, there would be far fewer convoys, and so fewer data allowing the map to be smaller. Something for the next version...

At least undeveloped maps should become much smaller if trees are only placed afterwards.

You mean manually by the public service player's tree placement tool?

prissi · « **Reply #151 on:** November 28, 2012, 02:32:37 PM »

When I made server mapos, I made them without trees and then just drew some forests at locations where it may be nice and later scattered some trees into the landscape. You can also set trees in forest (forgot the right settig) to 3 instead of 6 which was used in some versions of pak128.britain before creating forests. THis will reduce download size up to a factor of 10 for undeveloped land maps.

jamespetts · « **Reply #152 on:** November 28, 2012, 02:39:21 PM »

Thank you - that is useful. (In fact, this map has no trees at all in any event...)

Website says server is up, but repeated attempts to join tonight are being met with "server did not respond". Has savegame time got so long as to stop people joining ?!

ghlbit · « **Reply #154 on:** November 28, 2012, 08:02:12 PM »

I am having same connection issue.
"server did not respond"

And another attempt just now returned "The operation completed successfully." where It wasn't successful to connect to the server.

Hey all till Bridgewater-Operators!

I am ghlbit newly started operation for Bridgewater.
I don't have any service at the momment.

I was thinking we could meet up on online chatting server.
I use TeamSpeaks 3 for online gaming communication.

Curruntly I am online at free to join TeamSpeaks server of "All In Multigaming Community".
IP address for this server is 78.72.150.37

There is no channel dedicated for Simutrans online gaming but I am online in "Coffe Room" channel of this server.
So I hope you come online and discuss about our Bridgewater operation!

Since I am pretty new to Simutrans so It will be nice to talk to someone to make a decision before I start the servicing.

jamespetts · « **Reply #156 on:** November 28, 2012, 08:15:42 PM »

The server is back up now - and welcome Ghlbit! We generally use the in-game chat on the server, but you are more than welcome to use TeamSpeak if you like.

Hello James,

Thanks for warm welcome and for hosting also developing great simulation ever!

Hello

I just tried to connect but crashed during loading, now the server is down, hope it's not my fault ...

Giuseppe

jamespetts · « **Reply #160 on:** November 28, 2012, 08:56:27 PM »

Hmm - it might be your connexion that caused the problem, but it's not your fault, as you weren't to know that it would have that effect. May I ask - what was the nature of the error message (if any) or other behaviour that you had at your end?

I was booted out from the server on last saving somehow.

Well I had a look on industires list and I am thinking to operate dairy product delivery service on one of central islands.

If you manually save the game, it will desynch. Savings are also common occasions when the client will notice a desynch.

Hello

Now the server is down?

Giuseppe

jamespetts · « **Reply #165 on:** November 28, 2012, 09:26:40 PM »

It's back up now. Saving locally will generally desync the client but not crash the server. I am not sure what is currently causing the server to crash. The logs aren't helping a great deal.

AP · « **Reply #166 on:** November 28, 2012, 10:08:56 PM »

Beware: wierd thing, it semi-crashed mid save, but then appeared to recover. 1.5h later, I notice a little pause button has appeared at the top - I've been playing in a strange parallel universe all evening. ****. The only clue was the chat had gone quiet...

jamespetts · « **Reply #167 on:** November 28, 2012, 10:10:27 PM »

Hmm - semi-crashed? What did that entail?

(Look for the network symbol in the bottom right hand corner to check connectivity).

AP · « **Reply #168 on:** November 28, 2012, 10:13:50 PM »

It did the "saving" thing it does periodically, took the usual 30 seconds or so meanwhile the game paused (as usual whilst that happens), but then some kind of popup indicating a failure (oh no, I thought), but then a split second later the game is back and carrying on playing. So I figured the popup was the error. Only just now did I spot a clue that the inconsistency was in fact the game being played.

jamespetts · « **Reply #169 on:** November 28, 2012, 10:22:22 PM »

You don't remember what the error message was, do you?

I'm sorry I don't. It definitely suggested the save had failed, because it so obviously contradicted what I was seeing on the screen (i.e. that it appeared to have succeeded).

jamespetts · « **Reply #171 on:** November 28, 2012, 10:39:28 PM »

Ahh. Hmm. The only thing that I can suggest is to check for the network symbol after something like that.

AP · « **Reply #172 on:** November 28, 2012, 10:50:06 PM »

Indeed. And I will do so in future for sure! Cheers James.

I only realized momment ago that when new client join the session It saves it.
And that was the saving I was wrting.

ӔO · « **Reply #174 on:** November 28, 2012, 11:32:29 PM »

If you get frequent desyncs from trying to join, try quitting the game once. Sometimes that helps with desync on connect.
