Re: [Rails-devel] [Rails-users] Trains on open market not available on rails (1856)

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

I have committed a fix for this problem. Trans and cash are now transferred
to the Bank/Pool.

Thanks for the saved file. This is a Rails bug: the trains of a closing
company (and I think also the cash, if it has any) just disappear. The
transfer action back to the Bank is missing. This will be fixed before the
next release.

Well, I meant get Closed (the white area in the stock market). 

Here is a saved file just before player Alan sells his 4 shares from LPS to
the bank that makes LPS to close and put their trains in the open market.

Thanks for the quick response!

Hi Carlos,
 
What do you mean with "went bust"? 
For all I know, a bankruptcy in 1856 ends the game (or should end it - if it
doesn't in Rails, that would be a bug).
Trains discarded during CGR formation can be bought all right from the Pool
(I just did a test with 1.4). If not in your case, I would need a saved file
to investigate your problem.

Hi guys, 

Me and three other guys just played our first game of 1856 and we used rails
(initially in rails 1.3 and later in rails 1.4) in hotseat mode.

We played normally until one of the public companies, LPS, went bust and
according to the rules, their trains should go onto the open market so that
any other public company can buy them. The problem is that we saw no way of
being able to purchase them in rails 1.3 or 1.4. When during an operating
round we clicked on the Buy Train button, the drop-down list only showed the
available trains from other public companies and not also the ones from the
open market.

What are we doing wrong?

Thank you so much.

Best regards,

Carlos
