OpenRCT2 v0.2.5: "How Not To Be Seen!" has been released! We moved to Discord: https://discord.gg/fsEwSWs
also, on topic of the scenario packs.. I have a branch of the scenario window with tabs that can be sorted through, i believe i showed it when i suggested the idea of including tabs for any folders containing scenarios inside the scenarios (i.e. "/OpenRCT2/Scenarios/maian_sos/" showing up as a tab "maian_sos", "/OpenRCT2/Scenarios/v-vr-scenario-packs/" showing up as "v-vr-scenario-packs"), however i was never actually able to figure how to load the folder contents into the list, and i didn't attempt to modify the scenariorepository code to get it to work (as i feel it would be a waste of time, only to get stuck in that "too much code modified" PR limbo).. i could maybe throw the PR up as a prototype?
i mean**
Testing required on OpenRCT2/OpenRCT2#4786 if anyone has a spare moment. I've modified the code for placeing any element. Check that the game doesnt crash when you run out of free map elements and that you can place items when there are free elements. I think ive tested every type but its always best to get another set of eyes on it.
Can we revert the #4615 commit until it gets fixed? I don't mean to sound complainy, but to keep this in here is kinda silly. I like the idea it was going for, but it causing servers to crash when someone attempts to load a new game is really bad. The previous method worked just fine, the only problem was logging into servers with CS you'd get disconnected for the delay of it freezing while it saved the custom scenery and refreshed the cache, which all it took was just logging out and logging back in.
i'm not speaking on my own terms either. people always load maps on multiplayer, weather it was to jump back to a previous autosave if someone griefs, or to start a new server, or to start a clean map.
@Nubbie IntelOrca seems to have locked it already. The login system seems to be a controversial subject.
@Gymnasiast I won't be able to test it until tommorow morning but honestly the crash only takes starting a new server with a map and loading another map / scenario. If you can start a new server and load two maps without a crash it should work but I could download openrct2 in a virtual computer and try the sending objects or whatnot janisozaur is talking about
Honestly, alot of improvements could come out of being able to have a registered identity on here. For example, showing who is in a network group. It would be cool to have a portion of the group page show the users in the currently selected group, but if JohnnyBoy is listed under TrustedUser, and then JohnnyBoy switches his name without notice to MegaMan, and a MegaMan shows up under the group, the average joe won't know how to take that in and might fear the system is glitchy and allows just anyone into any group. "I don't know who this person is how did they get here? Where's Johnnyboy?". And if being able to change the name is still wanted theres always a username and display name choice.
people keep referring to anonymity on the game, like it's tor or something or we're talking about underground activity that could put our life on risk. it's just a game, people log on to play game.
And the need for a login server is obviously still a popular demand, considering Mozars, ManOfTeal are both a thing that do very well.
The labels are green
(It's barely noticable, I only saw it once I went over the function call)
Now I think of it, it should probably be made more consistent, at least a macro with the value so all can be changed in one go.
for i in "a b c" ; do echo $i ; done?
Seems like its expecting more input
With
"a" "b" "c" as input it does split them though
