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!

Question about company clearing 9 years 8 months ago #4199

Hi, this is my first post, so forgive me if I do anything wrong.

I've noticed that my company is removed after a while when I'm disconnected. It is fair, because when I'm not playing I shouldn't block slot for anyone else.

From the other hand: I want to compete on long/extreme servers (1000M/15.000M CV) and the only way for me to do that is: start in evening, disconnect at night, finish in the morning (or check if I won/lost).

Should I:
1. Leave my machine connected during the night?
2. Disconnect, and my company would not be cleared due to long/extreme goal?
3. Assume that I cannot do anything because my inactivity will clear the company.

Which one is correct?
Which is not against the Rules and good taste?

Thanx in advance and greetings for whole BTPro community!

Question about company clearing 9 years 8 months ago #4200

you could logout and hope for someone else to stay online to prevent the "1 hour no players reset" timer. or you could stay logged in yourself, or start early, and complete it the same day =)
do not hestitate to ask me or anybody else of the operators/admins for help and questions.

You can type !resetinfo in chat to check the settings for the server on automatic reset (1 year takes roughly 13.5 minutes). The 15 billion doesn't have an automatic reset, all other servers do.

The only way to avoid this, is to stay in your company.

Also, there will be no points awarded if you're not in your company when the goal of the server is reached.

So you should either make sure you can play for long enough so that you or a competitor can reach the goal of the server, or you should leave your machine connected while you're AFK, which is fine to do btw.

Question about company clearing 9 years 8 months ago #4202

Thanx for both answers. I didn't know about "1 hour no players reset" and forgot about !resetinfo. I like the idea of being connected whole night but is it really appropiate/acceptable?

ofcourse it is, 15billion isnt a number you could earn in just a few hours, that is one of the reasons why the auto-reset is disabled on that server =)

Question about company clearing 9 years 8 months ago #4205

Yeah, I know. I suppose it would be 12-15 hours in my case (taking into account my experience and "15 fastest games" list). I will start with 1 billion to verify my assumptions.
