Can autorenew even be set up by clients, or does it have to be set up by the host for everyone?

It's available to you, just have to look under the 'expert' level of options.

Also since the map is apparently flooded, are you guys still running that map or should we pick up a new one?

If we wind up with a new one, could we get an Alpine mountainous 1024x1024 with a max height of 50 and low sea level map?  That should make for one with a decent challenge to it.

I'm imagining lots of trestle bridges and I love it.

Maybe to add a bit more of a challenge, we could boost the cost of using the landscaping tools or disable them, if that is possible.  Would have people need to plan a fair bit more than brute forcing everything.  If people don't want that, I'll probably impose that on myself to see what happens.  Possibly go with a personal challenge to provide the city with my HQ every resource chain.  Those two combined should make an interesting game, in my opinion.

I'll mess with some map settings that I've re-sorted out my portforwarding. In the meantime, I've updated the grfs list in the PWYB post and updated OTTD. Have a look at them.

ninja'd: I'd rather just leave the landscaping alone, things aren't cheap to begin with at first and by the time people have lots of money people stop being on as much anyway.

[Orange Wizard]

Yeah landscaping's pretty expensive, probably not worth it.

I woke up and took the server down seeing as it as 2035.

Turning water into land is expensive. Turning land into water is not. You just leave a dike and then tear it down.

Back in highschool days, me and a friend had so much fun with (the original) transport tycoon. We used to build huge cities at sea level, then break the dikes and watch millions drown. This was back in the days when multiplayer meant actually carrying your gaming rig to your friend and setting up a LAN because even though that 14k4 modem was nice, it didn't quite cut it for gaming. Good old days.

I swear, I'll get to a million pop on this city yet

I'm having trouble figuring out a way to get 3 trains to fill to capacity at a two lane terminal station. Is it possible? Because they keep getting stuck.

[Shadowlord]

Three tracks, two stations?

[Micro102]

No... 3 trains and a 2 lane station. Only 2 tracks leading in.

[SOLDIER First]

lots of signals

[Shadowlord]

I was suggesting a third lane, so the trains could all have one.

Playing today, I set up some stuff with the simplest signal, having failed to get the more advanced ones to do anything sensible, and yet it seemed less efficient than simply building a separate track and stations (lanes, if saying that is important to you) for each.

[SOLDIER First]

someone help me make train lines that actually earn me money

[Zanzetkuken The Great]

Also, yes, totally up for playing this again if anyone else wants to.

Aklyon does have a server up, with details in this thread.

[Shadowlord]

See this.

Back in my day there wasn't no such thing as pre-signals, whatever those are, and you only crossed your tracks if you wanted to make your trains collide! *shakes imaginary walking stick*
