#75 1850 Mesabi Range Tile Number

[BRUCE C RODICH]

I'm working on creating the xml files required to add 1850, and I would like to know if a tile number has been assigned to the Mesabi Range tile. I can create the svg of the tile if that is needed as well. Who do I send my xml files to once I test them? Thanks to everyone building this project!

That's great news! Thanks for working on this.

You may want to ask the Yahoo 18xx list about the tile number. I don't have a definitive answer for that. You can also simply assign a large, unused number to the tile.

If you are familiar with Git and Github, you can submit the files as a Pull Request here: https://github.com/Rails-18xx/Rails

Alternatively, you can post the files to the rails-devel mailing list, and I'll commit them.

For preprinted tiles (like this one), the convention would be to use a 5-digit negative number that starts with 50 (for 1850), for instance -50001.

I don't know how to post to the developer's mail list, so I thought I could
reply to your emails.

I have an update to tile 129. The city with 2 stations has track to the
north and west per Bill Dixon's 1950 Tile Manifest/Upgrade Chart. It's a
small change, but important as Chicago is a major city.

I am attaching my updated .svg file.

From what I can tell, tile 129 is specific to 1850, so none of the files
for the other games need updates. I don't fully understand the
TileDictionary.xml in the tiles directory, but the entry in Tiles.xml
should be changed to:

<Tile colour="green" id="129" name="129">
<Station id="city1" position="002" slots="2" type="City" value="50"/>
<Station id="city2" position="352" slots="1" type="City" value="50"/>
<Track from="city1" gauge="normal" to="side0"/>
<Track from="city1" gauge="normal" to="side5"/>
<Track from="city2" gauge="normal" to="side3"/>
<Track from="city2" gauge="normal" to="side4"/>
</Tile>
