The Rails team is pleased to announce the availability of a new version of Rails. You can download the latest version here: https://sourceforge.net/projects/rails/files/Rails/1.2/ Some highlights from this release are: * No Map Mode (for improved use as a table top game moderator) - Replaces Token and Tile lay actions with a simple Operating Cost button - Only supported for 1830, 1851, 1889, 18EU and 18Kaas (1856 and 18AL have special Token Lays) * Cash Correction in Moderator Menu - Allows moderators to adjust the cash position of players and floated Companies - When adjustments are made, a message is added to the Report Window and a warning to the next Player will be displayed * 1889 support - Full implementation of the rule set - Limitation in forced selling: Change of director in other companies is not prevented by Rails (see rule 10.6.2), thus House rule to play that like 1830 is possible. Otherwise end the game at that point. - Beginner Game includes all changes as defined in the rule book. * Several bug fixes to the undo mechanism - Undo of end of game conditions and from the end of game window is possible. - It is (should) be possible now to cross round boundaries using the forced undo mechanism. - IMPORTANT: Undoing any action that moves tokens back on the same stock space can cause the token stack to be mixed up. This can cause games being in a corrupt state and save files to be unloadable. (this is true for all previous Rails releases including 1.1.3) * Many more bug fixes, especially to 1856, 18EU, 18AL. ---Brett. |

I obviously don't want to upgrade if it will break my game in progress. Thanks in advance for your help. Randy... |

The ability to play 18AL has not changed. ---Brett. |

Alex - Route calculation is probably the most requested feature. So, yes, we'd be very interested to have your contributions. Let's move this discussion to the rails-devel mailing list. Please subscribe, if you're not already subscribed: https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/rails-devel ---Brett.

I wonder if there is an interest in adding automatic route calculation to Rails. I am trying to create AI for some of the games (and no, it's not going well), but as a side effect I have code that computes the routes. It supports some of more widely used rules (various town treatment, city and route bonuses, multipliers etc). It runs on an abstract connectivity graph, so it should not be too hard to integrate. > > Alex. > > --- In 18...@ya..., brett lentz <wakko666@...> wrote: >> >> The Rails team is pleased to announce the availability of a new >> version of Rails. >> >> You can download the latest version here: >> https://sourceforge.net/projects/rails/files/Rails/1.2/ >> >> Some highlights from this release are: >> >> * No Map Mode (for improved use as a table top game moderator) >> - Replaces Token and Tile lay actions with a simple Operating Cost button >> - Only supported for 1830, 1851, 1889, 18EU and 18Kaas >> (1856 and 18AL have special Token Lays) >> >> * Cash Correction in Moderator Menu >> - Allows moderators to adjust the cash position of players and floated Companies >> - When adjustments are made, a message is added to the Report Window >> and a warning to the next Player will be displayed >> >> * 1889 support >> - Full implementation of the rule set >> - Limitation in forced selling: Change of director in other companies is not >> prevented by Rails (see rule 10.6.2), thus House rule to play that like 1830 >> is possible.
