#449

Would it be too hard (maybe even impossible) to force a new game file for each server? Like, have it where the server saves the game files for each person?

#450

Server-side save files? That’s very possible, and I could add that as an option in the future if you want it :wink:

But could you force it onto the client? Like make them use that one file?

#452

Yes, I can add a server option that forces the clients to use that file… unless someone mods my mod (modception!) to use another save file.

Would you work after this version on the first Beta-build?

#454

Yep! I’ll keep adding features in what I call the beta phase, but it will also be a bit more focused on bug fixing and user friendliness.

We tried to test 0.3.0, but we can’t save a game and can’t exit GDT. :frowning:
GDT says “Saving…”, but nothing happens. It doesn’t matter if we use an empty save slot or try to save to an used one.

0.3.1

  • Fixed not being able to save

Edit: By the way, we’ve reached 3500 downloads! That’s not much compared to certain other mods, but still way more than I expected. You guys are awesome :wink: (that crazy amount of downloads is probably because of all the updates too though) xD

Thanks for your fast update! :slight_smile: We can save now.

But we have another problem: When we create a new company and connect to the server, we get a javascript error. This error pops up every week until we exit GDT and load the savegame. Then the pop up is gone.

I will look into that. For now, disable GDTMP (and restart), create a new save, re-enable GDTMP (restart again), and play the save you created. I don’t want to update the mod every time someone finds a bug, but if you and hopefully other people keep reporting bugs I’ll release a bug fix update in the coming 1-2 days. :wink:

#460

Ok this works, thanks for your work! :smiley:

Edit: Timesync seems to be buggy. There is no time (Y M W) saved in a savegame. And the game stops and does not restart as soon as a player opens a menu. So we disabled timesync and sync the game ourselves every two years. ^^

#461

Hmmm I can’t reproduce that :confused:

How do you mean? It’s supposed to pause when you enter a menu/dialog and resume when you close it, which works perfectly fine for me.

#462

Trading RP/Money seems not to work? I tried to trade 20 RP against 400.000cr with another player, but they other player didn’t receive any dialog or something.

#463

Fixed in my private build. Thanks for reporting all these bugs, there will surely be a bug fix update in 1-2 days!

(How do I quote here? :smile:)

Timesync problem: I think I didn’t explain it propely, so here I try again.
The server runs on my pc. My friends and me connect to the server and start to play, all works fine. But if one of us presses Esc and saves the game, there is no time (Y M W) in the savegame and the game stops. We can’t continue to play, even if we restart GDT and load the savegame.

((You can quote by something! and then clicking “Quote Reply”))

@brudertack82 I still can’t reproduce that, but I’ll try finding the cause.

@brudertack82 @Haxor Is “select” the word you’re looking for? :stuck_out_tongue:

@A_Random_Guy I’ll fix that.
