Ban/Unban Requests / Bitte entsperren / please unlock

« Last post by RonRonsen on January 15, 2022, 11:04:18 am »

Es sind meine ersten Schritte im Multiplayer Universum und ich hatte vorher nicht die Regeln beachtet.
Ich habe - und das mehrfach - bei zwei, drei Servern einen gegnerischen Spieler beim Bauen blockiert.
Die Regeln habe ich nicht beachtet und so was es richtig mich zu bannen.
Dennoch bitte ich um Nachsicht und wieder um Entsperrung.
Ich werde die Regeln befolgen.
Danke
- so ziemlich alle nice Server

These are my first steps in the multiplayer universe and I hadn't followed the rules before.
I have blocked an opposing player from building - several times - on two or three servers.
I didn't follow the rules and so it was right to ban me.
Nevertheless, I ask for leniency and again for unblocking.
I will follow the rules.
Thanks
- pretty much all n-ice servers

Suggestions / VoIP communication during game

« Last post by EarthwormJack on January 08, 2022, 12:14:57 pm »

Hallo Community,

with some players I had really a fun time chatting during the game. But often I missed messages cause` the focus on the gameplay. I thougt it could be a nice idea if we can chat via headset. Therefore my question: is there interest from the community and what do the admins think about that idea?

We could think about Discord, Teamspeak or even Mumble. Maybe someone has additional Ideas, like "only registed members could join" and so on...

It would be really great if we had a little discussion about this topic

Complaints / Highscore Calculation

« Last post by EarthwormJack on January 08, 2022, 11:57:44 am »

Hey,

it`s not actually a complaint, it`s more a question about how the calculation works.
Yesterday I played a on Server 2 a game against several people. Was really hard and quite fun. I managed anyhow to win and got 18Points. Second in line was Eliza, but she got 19Points.

2022-01-07 18:40:04   18   2   4,310,540 / 0   1649 / 4   1   Yes --> My stats
2022-01-07 18:40:04   19   2   772,976 / 0   1285 / 4   1   No --> Stats from Eliza

Don`t misunderstand me, I like the idea that winning isn`t the main goal and you have to prepare several things to get a lot of points. But I have no clue how the Highscore calculation works. According to http://www.n-ice.org/openttd/highscorecalculation.php I know that i had (in comparison to Elize):

• higher company value
  less vehicles
  won the game

And I`m quite sure that her performance rating wasn`t that much better than mine.

So my question is on what should I focus in the game to get points? Really I tried several tactics but I never get more than 19 points on server 2. I understand that you don`t want to describe the complex algorithm, but it would be great if you can tell me/us a sort of weighting, or in the best case some direct advice like "you have to get 50% performance rating for additional points" (In gamification words: Main Goal: win, Second Goal: get 50% company value)... I hope you understand what I mean.

Anyway thank you sooooo much for preparing all the servers. It is really great!

The measuring tool is not working. The default currency keeps going back to GB Pounds. The button for Transfer Cargo seems to be missing (alt. Right click).
Measuring tool did not work before version 12 but the other 2 since version 12. Gopher 7 Jan 2022

about zoning_cmd.cpp... old one is bugged, cause crash of the game with zones around city or industry...
I just remove most old code and wrote own zoning, very useful for some servers...

here's the release compiled version -- http://yetidi.net/files/openttd_yetidi_zoning_fixed_version.zip

12.1 64bit client
server #5
Crash logs and files attached (as zip)

When using zoning toolbar advertisements and/or station catchment enabled: zooming in and out and moving around the map crashes the client. Happened 10 times yesterday and replicated it few times just now. I have tested and disabling vsync in game options provides a workaround/solution for me.

comment: disabling vsync option helps with the problem but crashes still occur
