Re: [Rails-devel] 18EU: Background Map submission (revised version)

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

Thanks Bill, this looks pretty good. 

There is no hurry with working this out; from my side it has always been a
long shot.
Feel free to experiment, otherwise I will do so over time. 

I suppose we'll need an extra <Image> tag in Map.xml, with attributes
filename, x, y, scale.
In presence of a map image, displaying all tiles with non-positive numbers
(i.e., preprinted tiles) should be suppressed (except when testing
alignment).

I am having the same problem.  When I run from eclipse, things work properly, but when I run the 1.4.2 build no map is displayed.

Is it possible that something necessary isn't being included in the build?

When I open up the console output, I get a lot of errors like:

Re: [Rails-devel] 18EU: Background Map submission (revised version)

[Bill R. <ro...@gm...>]

Here's another attempt, as I have a copy of Adobe Illustrator, so can convert the PDF to SVG -- in theory without losing anything.  Let me know if this file is readable on other systems (I've tested it in Safari and it seems to work fine).

I've also removed some of the 'unnecessary' elements, such as the income track, the hex numbers (since Rails will also display them?).  It's easy for me to leave things like hex-numbers on the map, if desired -- creating this file took literally about 5 minutes, so I don't mind making other versions.

Note that this file is *not* my artwork: I've just taken John Tamplin's PDF and converted it to SVG.  He probably doesn't mind, since he's distributing the PDF anyway, but this might be something to think about regarding other games.  I can also re-draw some of the other maps that we don't have PDFs for, but they won't look exactly like the printed versions do, and this will take more time.

I can take a look at displaying this in Rails, but I'm likely to be busy for about the next week, so I can't make any promises regarding timeliness.

Re: [Rails-devel] Rails 1.4.2 Graphical Problem?

[Scott P. <sc...@re...>]

FYI, the map works fine when I run it from Eclipse, but I did an ant build
and had the same no map display issue.  I have not had the need to do a
build since the issues when batik was upgraded.  I have the current JRE.  I
have the same issue in Windows.

The map is not displaying when I open the new release.  Anyone else having a

[Rails-devel] Rails 1.4.2 is available!

[brett l. <bre...@gm...>]

A new version of Rails is now available.

This release includes preliminary work on 18SCAN, 18TN, 18GA, the
Coalfields and Reading variants of 1830.

Also included is several fixes to a variety of bugs as well.

Files are available here:
https://sourceforge.net/projects/rails/files/Rails/1.4.2/

For developers, the updated Javadoc is available here:
http://rails.sourceforge.net/javadoc/index.html

Thanks to everyone who helped out on this release!

Re: [Rails-devel] 18EU: Background Map submission

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

Thanks!

 

First impressions: 

 

-          This SVG seems to contain a bitmap only. Does it really scale?
In other words, can we zoom in and out loss-free?

-          Inkscape and IE9 do not display anything on loading this file.
Firefox 3.6 displays an error message. 

 

So I can't tell yet if this will be useful.  I'm no graphics expert, but I
will try to load it in Java/Swing/Batik and see what happens.

 

(BTW from tomorrow, I will be out and probably unreachable for a week).

 

Erik.

Hi,

 

this is an svg which could be as background map for 18EU - demanded for in

Re: [Rails-devel] Train config changes

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

I have also added new optional 'quantityIncrement' attributes to <Train> (in
Game.xml) and <Tile> (in TileSet.xml).  
These attributes are not used yet, but I expect such incremental values will
prove indispensable when configuring the 1825 regional kits. 
The corresponding 1830 XML files now contain brief comments to describe
these new attributes (which could be used there as well).

[Rails-devel] Train config changes

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

I have started working on train management. For now, just a few
configuration changes:

1. In CompanyManager.xml: a new tag <InitialTrain> that replaces the
'initial' attribute in <Trains>.  Used in 18EU.
Attributes: type, cost, tradeable.  'cost' is new, and allows configuring
companies, such as the 1825 minors, with a fixed train that must be paid for
at floating time.

2. Ditto, in <Trains> the attribute name 'number' has been replaced by the
more appropriate 'limit'.

3. In Game.xml: in <Train>, the attribute name 'amount' has been replaced by
'quantity', for consistency with usage in similar cases. 

2 and 3 have been applied to all relevant game XML files.

Erik.

Re: [Rails-devel] 1856 bridge private token

[Phil D. <de...@gm...>]

Just tried this out:

Roll back to the step where LPS buys the Tunn
Hit undo
Buy the Tunn again
Click the special menu - it will let you buy the Tunnel bonus

This is a convoluted process and I blame trying to play 18xx whilst at
work when I should be focusing on other things, it's just a shame it's
taken me until OR 7.1 to spot that I broke the game!  I guess if there
IS a bug here it's mostly around undo when buying privates.  At a
guess I would say the process that enables and disable items on the
special menu isn't getting rolled back correctly.

Re: [Rails-devel] 1856 bridge private token

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

Phil,

If I replay from the point just before buying the Tunnel, after a Save and
Load at that point, it is OK. Buying a second Bonus token is not allowed.
I don't see how you ever could have managed to do that.  Has any Undoing
happened around that time?  Clearly Undo still has its weaknesses.

Re: [Rails-devel] 1856 bridge private token

[Phil D. <de...@gm...>]

Actually, don't bother investigating this, I've backtracked and worked
out what's wrong.  Somehow I managed to get LPS to buy a bonus bridge
token from itself!  Rails should prevent this but I hardly count this
as critical rules enforcement and is clearly a player instigated
error,

[Rails-devel] 1856 bridge private token

[Phil D. <de...@gm...>]

Something odd is happening with the bridge private

Load up the attached game, for a start, LPS has the bridge token
showing twice in it's tokens list.  Secondly, if you try and rewind
the game back to an earlier state (try OR 1, when LPS first runs) and
without even playing forward, click again on a more up to date entry
in the game report log, and you will see another token get added to
the list that LPS has.

The latter problem isn't really that bad as it doesn't persist across
saves, but it does imply an issue with the undo process.  The former
issue (LPS having two tokens on reload) is more of a problem -
although fixable if the players are aware of it

<p><span style="font-family: arial,helvetica,sans-serif; color: #000000;">Theres a penalty in 1880 in using those ferry tiles. So for automatic calculation we would need </span></p>
<p>a filed/tag that can be set upon traveling that hex.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>Regards</p>
<p>Martin, still trying to figure out a way to create a generic ParSlot mechanismn :)</p>

Re: [Rails-devel] 18Scan

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

OK, I have created ferry tiles -4007 through -4009 (the latter two are for
18GL).

 

The stick track tiles must be specified with the pic attribute, as in 18EU.
I have added the pics. But we need the other versions as primary ids to
correctly define connectivity for route determination.

 

I have applied all this to the 18Scan files, and also:

-          Replaced the Oslo and Helsinki hexes by preprinted 'Y' tiles, and
fixed Stockholm likewise,

-          Fixed the upgrade rules, 

-          Added the tile quantities.

-          Removed hex H15 from the map (it's not part of it).

 

Erik.

Yes, that will look like the physical game.  I also notice that tiles 80-83
and 544-546 have the convoluted track rather than the stick track.  I
checked 18EU as an example, but I don't see a difference in how the XML is
set up.

 

I attached a patch that takes 18Scan about as far as I can take it for the
time being.

 

Here are some notes about special rules for 18Scan that I have not
implemented.  Perhaps they can go to the wiki--I do not have rights to edit
the wiki.  Could I be granted rights?

 

Initial Auction (probably okay to just have players conduct this via email,
then enter in as the 1830 auction)

-Players bid for the right to buy privates for face value (also pay the
premium they bid)

-All bidding is in multiples of 5, minimum 0

-Once a player passes, he is out of the auction

-Players may not bid higher than the cost of the cheapest private plus the
bid premium

-Auction winner gets Priority Deal

-The player that initiates a round of passes gets Priority Deal

-Cases for ISR ending

   -All pass before anything is purchased? Holder of Priority Deal is forced
to buy something for face value, other items go to the pool, then play OR1.1

   -All pass after one or more (but not all) auctioned items have been sold?
other items go to the pool, then play OR1.1

   -All items are sold? Play OR1.1

In all cases, play OR1.2 and OR1.2 and then SR1 (currently we have to pass
through SR1 before the OR set)

 

STOCK ROUNDS

-Company floatation is based on the phase number (2/3/4) (currently float on
20%--something from 1856 to be borrowed?--though companies should float in
the SR, not the OR)

-Once Phase 5 begins, full capitalization upon 50% sold (other 50% go to
pool)

 

TRAIN BUYING

-Currently implemented as one train per OR, but companies can also buy the
next train if it is a different type

-Need to implement the double sided trains (currently just the basic trains
are implemented)

-If company has no money, the President may chip in up to face value for
train from another company

 

FORMATION OF SJ - Immediately upon purchase of 5T

-Minors close-exchange for reserved 10% SJ shares

-Recheck for a new SJ President (transfer control if necessary)

-SJ gets 700 plus minor company assets (trains/cash/tokens--if two tokens in
one hex, one token goes back to SJ to be used later--6 tokens total)

-SJ always starts at 100

-SJ operates in the next OR if 50% of it's shares are out of the IPO.

 

Train Revenue (lots of work to do here, probably need to stick with manual
revenue calculation)

-5E and 4D cannot score Kiruna

-May only count off-map if tokenend

-Must run for at least CMV to advance, double jumps are possible

 

Privates

-Not sellable to players, but special powers are transferrable to company

Ferry (two tokens):

  +20 for routes via ferry

  Permanent

  Token cost is 20, pay to owner (player), owner chooses whether to sell

  Unbought tokens upon phase 5 go to pool

  Minors can buy tokens, if two go to SJ, extra token goes to pool,

  Tokens in the pool may be purchased from the bank

Mine (one token):

  +50 to run if run to Kiruna (only one bonus may be used per operating
turn)

  buy for 50

  Pay player owner before Phase 5

  Pay bank if bought from pool

  Private closes upon purchase

  Token is permanent

  Token to pool if closed without purchase

ZRC: free Copenhagen terrain, closed when DSB buys train

 

MINORS

Bank pays 10 to the owner in any OR in which the company earns no revenue

Starting capital is face value

Destination Run for minors:

-Perform bonus run immediately upon connection to destination

-Perform bonus run in turn order from current company

-Bonus runs lost if not taken

1. may (not required) place extra token in destination (free)

2. operate trains--normal run +80 (80 if no trains)

3. pay dividends

4. okay to place bonus even if intervening minor cut it off, okay to place
on yellow--put to side, if is green and full--no token

 

BANKRUPTCY

-All player assets go to the pool (inclduing President's Certificate if no
one can take it)

-Transfer presidencies if necessary

-Keep playing

-All but one go bankrupt? Remaining player wins.

 

ENDGAME SCORING

Privates do not count toward final score (I think the other ones that don't
count are likely already implemented properly)

[Rails-devel] 1830 Wabash Cannonball

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

I have added the 1830 Wabash variant (a.k.a. Wabash Cannonball).

Erik.

Re: [Rails-devel] Autosave/load fixes.

[Phil D. <de...@gm...>]

I think that is a good solution, provide an error informing people of
what is missing and either present a box requesting that information
or popup the config window and point them in the right direction.
