[Rails-users] BugFix Release for Rails 1880 Alpha5 available - still buggy?

[<Dr....@t-...>]

Hi, 

	as stated, currently one has to save the game after the End of the
Startround Bid/SelectionPhase and quit the game. Start Rails anew and
load the save game. This will fix th problem with the incorrect player
order on display. This workaround needs to be kept until we can fix
that handling by the game engine.  

	The rules state the following: 

	The number of Building Permits is dependent on the Director's
Certificate. If this is a

 40% share, the Building Permit is for 1 Phase.

 30% share, the Building Permit is for 2 Phases.

 20% share, the Building Permit is for 3 Phases.
- The Director has a free choice over which Phases.  

	One could now argue that the phrase "is for" makes it mandatory for a
director to select a 3 Phase Permit. I took the next statement to be
the indication that a director might choose some other building right.
 (Perhaps i should recode that based on the logical assumption that no
director 

	will want to forfeit a possible building phase ? -Opinions here ?) 

	There is currently no automatic detection of a connect situation. You
have to declare the connect manually via the Reach Destination Ability
of the GUI. 

	Running Routes through Taiwan is a bug might be related to the fact
that it is a town and not a city. Will check that.  

	The Chinese River Building Company P4: 

	The owner of P4 incurs no cost whenever they build for the first time
in a river hex. If a hex shows
both a river and a mountain symbol, the building cost is reduced by
¥20. 

	You cant buy 50 % of stock until the first 3 train is sold. If you
cant buy any more after the first 3 train is sold thats a bug. 

	I'll look into the behaviour again, please do me a favour and save
the game and send the savefile to me with a short description of the
bugs or things you think should be handled differently.

	Okay, I tried running a game again, and didn't see some of the
problems I did the first time, namely wrong player cash/spending and
game hanging up after a SR after round cycling.  However, I did see:
BCR getting a choice of building rights - it's always a 20% certif so
should be ABC or BCD only - but this is minor.  More criticial issues:
you don't get Private investor share, cash, and 50 bonus when you
connect - they stay running;  it runs routes through, not just to,
Taiwan - like if it was city/town; tried to upgrade yellow to green on
river and it asked for more money to pay for it; looks like some
private company gives ability to lay unconnected track; you can't buy
more than 50% of companies. 

	Best regards, Paul

	Hi Guys, if you experience any problems please send me the save file.
Regards, Martin 

	   Also, Paul has been "playing" with '1880' from this version of
RAILS, and experienced the problems described below (Dr. Brumm please
note), so we need to keep an eye on things.    

	     I downloaded the game from the dropbox.  Then started a game as
a trial.  Some problems:  cash was associated with the wrong player. 
For example player #1 had 200+ and couldn't buy anything, but #2 who
had 80 was able to continue buying 100 value shares.  One of my
players started the HKR (the one that starts in Shanghai) and there
are no tiles available for Shanghai.  Finally, when the company order
got around to the point when the rest of the 2Ts disappear and you
have a stock round, the stock round was okay I think, except for the
player cash issue, but then the game went back to the company whose
turn was interrupted by the SR, and was asking if it wanted to buy a
train or be done.  2+2Ts were not available though they should be, and
also selecting "done" didn't end the company's turn.   

	Paul
