Would I be right in assuming people want a new map? The server's been empty all day and the date is 2041.

Was going to jump on it, but if people want it changed over, I don't mind too much.  If we do change over, could we at least wait until around 9 pm CST Tuesday?  I would have no access between the end of today and then.  I also have a long day Thursday, but by that point I would have had enough time to get things at a point that would be stable.

Considering how we are using Elder Scrolls names, how about we use the Tamriel heightmap in full for the next one?

Theres a fuller heightmap than that one? This map was the same size as usual, 1024x1024. Though I'd prefer a bit more water than we have, hehe.

10 pm EST tomorrow, right?

1) Ripped the current one from its map.  It's composed of Western Skyrim, Central and Eastern Hammerfell, and Eastern Highrock.  The full one is the first result in google images under 'Tamriel Heightmap'.  May want to cut off some of the black off the westernmost edge in order to get the map a little bit more square, though.

2) Yeah.

Forget to put up the server?

Nah, just busy for longer than I'd thought. It'll be up soon.

[Aklyon]

So, server's up.

New grfs: Industrial Stations Renewal (for fanciness). Japanese Maglev Set (to help with the tiny group of trains left if you upgrade from electric rail to maglev), Progressive Rail Set (to make it a bit easier to upgrade ye trains.) Readme says this to describe it: "Assuming a progression of Normal Rail -> Electric Rail -> Monorail -> Maglev -> Vacuum Tube, an engine can now run (unpowered) on the generation of rail before it and run powered on its "normal rail" and the next generation of rail."

Mapgen change: Variety distribution to medium. Sea Level at 35%.

[Aklyon]

Go ahead.

Bump since the other thread was bumped. I updated the OP post with some updated grfs and some new grfs that might be neat. Gonna try to make a map for Zan's post first before server-ing, feel free to suggest and/or complain about the newgrfs in the meantime.

Don't forget to set the min_active_clients to 1.  The game defaults to 0, meaning the server is always running in an active state, while if there is a minimum count, time only progresses if someone is online.  That should give us a bit more playtime for the early years of the game (which I generally prefer and wish there was a newGRF to push back the dates of late game stuff, maybe with mid-game stuff only starting to come in around current late game and pushing late game that much farther back.)

Already have that in the config from last time.

Address from the OP still correct?  I'm not picking up the server.
