"sh rails.sh" produces the message:

Error: Unable to access jarfile ./rails-@VERSION@.jar

FWIW, there is no file with a name of that form in the project
directory.  Here's what "ls" produces:

Re: [Rails-users] Rails problems on ubuntu ? Was: [18xx] How do 18XX games get solved? 1856

[Justin R. <jus...@gm...>]

I was figuring the issues is that it's not executable, which it would need
to be for a "./script" type command to execute.

So what does running "sh rails.sh" produce then? That should work even with
simple read permissions.

when I go to the Rails repository and perform

I get "permission denied".  Any ideas?

  Just a note, the issue you are currently having isn't related to rails, but 
rather related to getting java installed.

  However, after you extract it, /home/jdgalt/Programming/Java should contain 
the java installation, eg, the javac executable itself being 
/home/jdgalt/Programming/Java/jdk1.8.0_101/bin/java (some files will exist in 
.../jdk1.8.0_101/jre/bin/

  At least the old official release I have on my system (1.7.12) has a rails.sh, 
but it is a pretty trivial program.  If you use an official release, you 
probably don't need to worry about compiling, and can just do something like:

/home/jdgalt/Programming/Java/dk1.8.0_101/jre/bin/java rails-<version>.jar

OK.  I go to

http://www.oracle.com/technetwork/java/javase/downloads/jdk8-downloads-2133151.html
and download the JDK,
   jdk-8u101-linux-x64.tar.gz
Next, I double click on that file, and extract the files to
   /home/jdgalt/Programming/Java
which creates the folder /home/jdgalt/Programming/Java/jdg1.8.0_101 .

This exhausts the instructions given at

https://docs.oracle.com/javase/8/docs/technotes/guides/install/linux_jdk.html#BJFGGEFG
so I don't know what to do next.  I'm guessing there are paths and other
settings that need to be done before Java will run.

Now, what am I doing wrong?

Good day to all Rails users,

My name is Alberto and I am from Spain. I am completely new to 18XX and
Rails. I have only a little experience with 1830.

I am not pretty sure of how to get into a game or start one. I suppose I
have to write to this e-mail address to propose a game or as I am suscribed
to the list all users would receive some kind of invitation any time
somebody uses the list to organize the list. If there is any other

Rails to participate in online games.

Thank you very much for your help.

Kind regards,

Alberto.

This is a minor release fixing the following bugs:

Hi Oliver,

thats indeed a bug. Apparently rails is testing in subsequent phase
changes only the fact if theres an unconverted minor, which in your game
that isnt the case. So theres no formation round being called at the
phase change for Phase 5 in your game.

I'll have to fix that and release a 1.9.1 me thinks..

Re: [Rails-users] Question about Rails installation/configuration under Linux

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

Hi Terry,
sorry I have been extremely busy after Christmas.

First I need to know which version you did download? I assume 1.9.0?

Extracting and then running the shell-file or java -jar rails-1.9.0.jar
both start Rails on my Linux system.

Could you double-check which version of Java you have installed (use 
java -version to print that)?

The last line of the debug file is only generated if you try to enter 
the configuration dialog. This is (usually) only possible from the 
StartUp-Window dialog. What happens if you start Rails game (with "New 
Game") without trying to enter the Configuratation dialog first?

Have you tried to use the 2.0 release candidate on your system?

Hope you get Rails running soon.

Stefan

[Rails-users] Question about Rails installation/configuration under Linux

[Terry L. <tj_...@ya...>]

Hi,
I'm trying to move away from Windows and have installed elementaryOS on an old laptop to become familiar with Linux.
I've downloaded Rails and have extracted the Rails .tar.gz file (extracted everything to the same folder "Downloads").
Running the shell command doesn't do anything, however if I click on the .jar file, Rails does start.   But it hangs at around 83% when building the configuration window.  I found a log file that is generated ("18xx.log").
The last line of this file is:
2015-12-29 08:36:27 DEBUG  Configuration sections with maximum elements of 25
The program hangs at this point whether I am starting a new game or loading an existing game.
I'm not sure what the problem is, but could it be that I have not unpacked the files to the proper file folder structure?   Where is the program supposed to be unpacked to, and what should the file folder structure/hierarchy look like?
Thanks help!

Re: [Rails-users] 2.0RC1 cannot lay tile + mapcorrection issue with reload

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

Eric:

Thanks for your further investigation. This is great help.

Most likely the issue for loading is related to the other bug/anomaly 
you reported earlier, which I have fixed in rails_2_maintenance already.

However I still have to check that.

I will built a release candidate 2 soon, however I have troubles with my 
internet access from home, so I have to postpone the up-loading.

Stefan

And to avoid annoying the subscribers to Rails-user:
Could you please further report bugs on Rails-devel instead of 
Rails-users. Rails-users is not intended for (frequent and detailed) bug 
reporting.

Re: [Rails-users] 2.0RC1 cannot lay tile + mapcorrection issue with reload

[games.bazin <gam...@or...>]

 

 

Hello all

 

Some more bug reports following this issue.

 

1) bug with map correction

from the situation in 1856_20151031_1804_GW-E16toCA.rail, you can use map correction to continue the game as it should by laying #24 in E16 with orientation SE.

File 1856_20151101_aftermapcorrection.rails is a save after GW finishes its turn and next company starts to play.

However, 2.0RC1 cannot load from that moment : loading 1856_20151101_aftermapcorrection.rails or any later save file results in an "interrupted load" just before the map correction.

 

2) In order to further play the game (and to further test), we have decided to check how the game behaves on 1.9.0

However, file 1856_20151031_1804_GW-E16toCA.rail (legit 2.0RC1 file before map correction) could not be loaded on 1.9.0.   Maybe that's normal and files are not backward compatible ?

 

So, we have restarted the game from scratch in 1.9.0

The resulting 1.9.0 file is attached as 1856_20151101_1019_GWbug.rails

Result : 

- from that postion, 1.9.0 allows to lay #24 in E16 with orientation SE (normal behaviour)

- the file 1856_20151101_1019_GWbug.rails can be reloaded in 2.0RC1, and from that same position, 2.0RC1 forbids to lay #24 in E16 with orientation SE

Re: [Rails-users] 2.0RC1 cannot lay tile

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

Eric:
thanks for catching this bug.

1856 is semi-restrictive for tile lays, thus there is a check involved 
if any of the new track segments is reachable from any station marker 
for the company laying the tile.

Due to some reason only one of the two tokens for GW is considered. And 
interestingly if one tries to make the same tile lay for LPS only the 
reversed orientations are allowed.

This indicates that the current check somehow only uses one of the 
tokens and not all of the tokens, which might help to find the true reason.

I hope I will get some time tomorrow to look into that.

Stefan

[Rails-users] 2.0RC1 cannot lay tile

[games.bazin <gam...@or...>]

Hello all

 

I found what looks like a strange bug in 2.0RC1 - took place in 1856 but doesn't seem 1856 related. Please see attached save file.

GW should be able to lay a green tile #24 in E16 going from it's starting position to CA's starting position, and is not allowed to do so by the game.

More precisely, 2.0RC1 allows #24 in E16 with orientation NW (which is normal) but forbids the opposit orientation, which is not normal.
