[Rails-devel] BugFix Release for Rails 1880 Alpha5 available

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

Hello, 

	please find enclosed the link to the bugfix Release for the 1880
Version of Rails. 

	http://dl.dropbox.com/u/29072620/rails-1.7.0-1880-alpha5.zip 

	The previous version did not restore certain properties of the major
companies, leading to the issues:  

 	*That no Major Company besides the BCR would have been able to build
after reloading a save file.
 	*That more than 4 Major Companies could be started with a par price
of 100.

	This might break saved games, so i advise anyone to install it in
paralell and replay the game manually to the last action before first
buy in the first StockRound (Startround was fine). 

	Kind Regards, 

	Martin

Errors noted in Alpha5 Auction:

 

1)      After buying BCR a window pops up for opening price with only $100 selected. The window that should pop up is which position within the 100 group the BCR will start.

2)      The BCR Building permits list all available permits. Since it is known it is a 20% share at this point, only the ABC and BCD build shares should be listed.

3)      Players are not reordered properly after the auction (least money to most money).

Hi Tom, 

	 1) I have found no clue in the rules that the player is allowed to
choose the position. Can you point me in that direction where to find
that specific rule ? The window is a auxilliary construct to be able
to have a jump in point for the following selection. 

	2) The player may choose to select any BuildingRights (even those
that make absolutely no sense). But Rails is not programmed to do a
decision for the player :). 

	3) Known Problem, Workaround is to save and reload the game. Erik was
investigating on how to handle it. Internally the players are
reordered the display is wrong. 

	Regards, 

	Martin

1. I asked the rules question on the 18xx mailing list.

2. Shouldn't the system enforce the rules?  As I understand it, it would be
illegal for a player to choose an AB or a CD building right.
