hello BTPro players

This news will be interesting to players that like challenges among Citybuilders:

After couple weeks on testings, server #XX is finally open to public test of Aphid's CB gamescript v117 ( GS topic here ) merged with the server controller software that we use.
Server was already tested with Temperate, Tropic, Arctic, Toyland, by themselves, and using FIRS, ECS and YETI newgrf's too.

Currently server #XX is open to all, with a population goal of 30K (check Storybook for demands), using YETI newgrf. Maybe later we can try Emma Watson newgrf for interesting games

Any suggestions or bug reports, please reply to this post. Good luck all and enjoy the games

Our special thanks to Aphid, the Gamescript author - all this is possible thanks to him. Thank you very much

Edit: Goal changed to 30K

well, the goal remains 30K (for now ^^)

changes are:
- Distributes lowered to 25%;
- All main demands lowered by ~10%;

NEW town Required cargoes:
- Machinery: after 8500 (20/1000);
- Uranium: after 11000 (10/1000);

Since it's a test server and special cases appeared, consider this changes to the regular rules for our server #XX, and accordingly to common sense too ^^:

- Related to regular rule 3 - on YETI's is: to "compete" on an industry, deliver much as the competitor, before take production from industries;

- Exchange Merchant industry, despite of a water based one, rule 9 don't apply here (note: exception to ONLY this test server #XX); - needs to be funded on water grounds - sea, lake or canals;


Demands were a bit lowered to keep game balance with the introduction of new cargoes needed, and can be checked on StoryBook (2nd page).

Machinery + Uranium... another challenge!
Distributes lowered = should be a little bit easier to reach the goal.

About rule 3: No need to change, in my opinion. There are so many secondary/trietrary industries, so why share them? It is not a busy-bee, where goal location is choosen randomly (moreless).

Anyway: Server script is great. The game gives lots of fun. Everyone should try to play it! Great job, BTPro team!

well, since YETI totally replaces industries, I got thinking to myself: Why not make it with random climates?! Bang... After all, it's only a scenario change... to don't get always the same ^^

Also, lltrainset.grf was added and start year changed to 1990. This allows the drill of change to TGV in 1993 and ICE3 in 1996

Anyway, Test server = all suggestions are welcome

Enjoy the games

Edit: Toyland excluded

Finally I found some time to play it again. With Machinery and Uranium. And it took me more than 3 hours to complete the game. I have to practise more

Anyway, since I'm still confused with Yeti industries and cargos, I've prepared a little picture. Maybe it will help somebody to understand Yeti. Here it is:



Enjoy!

Note: Scaled down after uploading, it looks worse than the original, no clue how to fix it
