I've noticed on loader sims that clients have the ability to remove trains on their panel? Is this correct as players may use this in the wrong way possibly messing up the timetable? I thought on .exe sims it is at the hosts discretion?

That sounds odd. I would have thought that only the host would be permitted to remove or shorten trains. Kev Log in to reply |

Have you actually tried removing a train as a client ? From my hazy memory all the options show up for clients but a few don't do anything and I thought that included removing a train. I'm not near a computer at the moment and won't be for a few days so can't test this myself.

" said:Have you actually tried removing a train as a client ? From my hazy memory all the options show up for clients but a few don't do anything and I thought that included removing a train.You can. Most of the other options (including 'Adjust Length'  give a 'Not available in client mode' message, so I assume 'Remove train' got missed accidentally.

I noticed that if you attempt to speed up the sim your clock speeds up but the sim doesn't as it should do and eventually it will reset itself back to the correct time. Log in to reply |

I would like an option for multiplayer games where hosts can allow clients full access to the F2 options. Would be handy if it was an option on the 'run as server' page.

Not to mention that it would be extremely useful to be able to delegate everything as a host as then it can be left unattended OR another player could take over hosting duties without the game having to be stopped.

Unfortunately it really isn't that straightforward. As a client your simulation isn't actually running. All you are doing is receiving messages that update your display, and sending messages to do things on the host. There are no "trains", no timetables, so a lot of the F2 functions aren't possible without sending and synchronising a lot more info with the client. Remove train works because it's just a simple command - "tell the host PC to remove the train" - to edit a timetable and so on is a lot more complex. Log in to reply |
