Re: [Rails-devel] 1844: Mountain Cable Car -Grey Tiles with flexible value

[Stefan F. <ste...@we...>]

Martin:
is there a difference between mountain railway hexes and 
standard-off-board maps except the method of creation/activation?

In my understanding no and thus there is no strict need for a different 
type of stop. However be aware that creation of stops is "cheap" now, as 
they can be setup in xml. So yes that can be done easily.

The other implications of the mountain railway hexes have to be coded 
anyway, but it might be a little help if they can be identified by the 
stop type.

PS: I have added some debug/message code in the 1844 branch for errors 
occurring during game creation. Might help to find existing problems.
