Re: [Rails-devel] Implementation details for revenue calculation

[Erik V. <eri...@xs...>]

OK, I have replaced tile -939 in Tiles.xml by a handmade version.
This applies to the generic Tiles.xml and to 1856 (Goderich) and 18EU
(Hamburg).
The extra element is a "City" type station, with zero slots.
The tile is still recognizable as an off-board tile by its colour ("red").

Please check if this works for you.

There is now a new XML file called HandmadeTiles.xml.
During running the XML conversion tool ConvertTilesXML, 
tile entries in this file are used; the corresponding
tiles in TileDictionary.xml are not converted but skipped.

Erik.

yes that helps, otherwise it would not be scored. The same is true for the 
equivalent tile in 1856.

The (additional) virtual vertex takes care of the bonus condition to end the

run at the off-board location and is thus only required for 18EU.
