Re: Events are driving me nuts.

Found a silly mistake - the event called "Consolidation" in 1866 should be one-time-only... :oops:

please change that in editor if you intend to test this map, otherwise it pops up every month :-)

Re: Events are driving me nuts.

You have until 1920 to achieve that, it may need adjusting. I'm in the process of a proper test of that aspect, among others. What I'm aiming for is a scenario that runs from 1835 til at least around 1950 - the trick is having credible goals. The bronze goals may prove to be too easy, might make tha...

Re: Events are driving me nuts.

Looks like the events are now working as planned. It's not finished yet, need to research some more "news" for it and maybe fling in a few more choices. I added one this morning allowing you to import the Consolidation (at a price!). If anyone tests, I'd like to know in addition to any gli...

Re: Events are driving me nuts.

working on some stuff, hopefully the status will change when you reach the bronze/silver goals now. I'll upload it somewhere (I'm guessing there's a correct place) once I see if it's working.

Re: Events are driving me nuts.

one other thing: I wanted the game to have just the 3 companies it starts with. so I set "can't start multiple companies" which I guess was wrong, as the AI whose company I took over when testing promptly started a new one. I've now set "disable starting any company". But, does t...

Re: Events are driving me nuts.

well here it is. I hope you have enough graphics and stuff for it... one thing that's nice about old(er) games on modern hardware is how well they run compared to how they used to back in the day :)

Re: Events are driving me nuts.

Heyho. I've worked around the first level status. The 2nd one (for silver) is now not reporting correctly, presumably it's using LTD company industry profit from the wrong company again. I can probably work around that one also. The main problem appears to be the company IDs not matching player ID i...

Re: Events are driving me nuts.

I'm gonna give this up soon. I thought I'd worked it out... I had the connection event working using company variable, this morning (see other post). OK, it's not using the *right* CV but that didn't matter, the status event reported correctly. So then I create a new event for another connection, us...

Re: Value confusion in the editor

related to this, the economic status effect seems only to allow setting a value, not a +/-. anyone recall how many values there are?

Re: Events are driving me nuts.

I could screenshot it, but I honestly don't think it's wrong, just not working. As to *why* it's not working, that's another question. I have verified that the event works by using GV instead of CV - and it operates as it should. The only conclusion I've reached is that the event sets CV for company...

Re: Events are driving me nuts.

that may be it. however, it's testing on "on-screen player company", I think. the player company is in fact ID#6, but that company is assigned to player control at the beginning of the scenario. I'll experiment with changing it to GV, see if that works. If so, the this might be the issue. ...

Events are driving me nuts.

The first stage of my scenario requires connections between cities. Now, there's a handy "company stns connect cities" tirgger - so that should be what I want - I looked at how it's done in other scenarios which I know to work - event triggered by connection trigger and game year less than...

initial companies

OK, made a pig's ear of my scenario I'm working on. what I wanted was to have 3 mandatory players, 1 human, 2 AI, with 3 companies already started. The AIs are fine - switch control to the AI chariman, start company, lay first bit of track etc., then switch to the other AI and do the same. The playe...

electric/non-electric track. how?

I'm working on a long-abandoned project to do a more detailed UK map and scenario - it currently has a large map (768x1024) and 127 cities. I'd kind of like the gold win to require at least 50% of the company track to be electric, but I don't really see how to achieve that, with the triggers I can f...
