Welcome to the BTPro OpenTTD Community

This community was build around the game: OpenTTD
OpenTTD is an (Free) open source simulation game based upon Transport Tycoon Deluxe

 

!!! Please note that a few servers have been shut-down !!!
Most of the times these servers were doing nothing (no players),
that's why I've decided to slim down the number of OpenTTD servers running.

I have made a selection to keep the most popular servers online.
If you miss a OpenTTD server that you REALLY played a lot, please do post
in the forums. I will then check if I can get it back online!

I'm trying to work from now on with only 1 physical server to
run all OpenTTD instances!

The following servers have been shut down recently:

1, 2, 6, 7, 9, 10, 11, 12, 13, 15 & 18

We are badly looking for moderators!

Want to be part of the team?! Want to help?! Read below...

 
NOTE:
Admins will act on the basis that ALL players know the game and it's mechanics.
We think that no one goes to an online game without first some practice and know how to play it.
Companies without registered nicknames (as shown in Client List) on it, can be reset without warning!
To learn OpenTTD mechanics, there is a forum/wiki and... a Single Player mode!!
Practice before playing on BTPro, and if you decide to start, READ THE RULES first.

 
If you wish to become part of the BTPro Server Operator family, ensuring that the rules are upheld with fairly and justly,
the willingness to teach new players on how to play the game and to make sure BTPro is one of the most relaxed,
entertaining servers out there for OpenTTD then apply in the Moderator Applications section below!

Also do not hesitate to ask us a question in the forums or when you see us online on one of the servers!

Happy Gaming!

Company value goal bug 9 years 5 months ago #3745

Hello everyone,

I just came across a bug in the server logic, and I hope this can be solved soon :)

The bug: when two companies are playing a CV game and on one database update they are both below the target company value, but in the next database update they are both past the target, the first company in the list, rather than the company passing the target first, wins the game.

I was playing as company #2 on the 150m temperate server. When the database updated, I was already at around 160m while company #1 was at 152m, and company #1 won the game. Luckily, in this case an admin was so kind to check the data and register the game as won by me :)

Anyway, I think this problem might be solved in two ways:
1. Increase the database update interval, so that the scenario when more than one company has a company value higher than the target does never occur.
2. If a company is found with a company value higher than the target, first check if there are other companies with a higher company value, and let the company with the highest company value win. This fix might be the easiest.

I hope this is of some use and I look forward to playing many more games on the BTPro servers!

Regards,
Jasper

Hi jbussemaker,

I checked the code regarding this issue and the winner is decided by score(points received) in such a case, but indeed it doesn't take into consideration the company value if both companies win at the same time. I'll probably have to talk to Frank to see how a case like this should be handled.

Even though it was years ago I still remember when I wrote that code I knew that problem would exist, but I was like "cmon, that's pretty unlikely to happen, I can still consider that case later...".
Guess it backfired on me now :oops:

Thanks for reporting it!
@Just: I will fix it in the official GoalSystem plug-in now. Let's talk on IRC about how to also get this to BTPro quickly.
