World records messages January 14, 2009, 09:32:30 am Some days ago I downloaded number 2218 and I found some new things - game remember some settings (for example people on roads) but it does not agree disabling messages about overcrowded stations and still (from time it was added) I cannot disable world records messages without disabling new/obsolete vehicles messages.

Re: World records messages Reply #1 – January 14, 2009, 10:25:07 am Those are the same category (not so important vehicle messages). Thus they can be only disabled together. Quote Selected
Re: World records messages Reply #2 – January 14, 2009, 10:28:58 am And what about disabling messages about overcrowded stations? Is it possible to disable them? Quote Selected
Re: World records messages Reply #3 – January 14, 2009, 01:59:31 pm There is an own menu point for this, at least in the english translation. Quote Selected
Re: World records messages Reply #4 – January 15, 2009, 03:27:27 am What about the message that appears when you switch players? When playing with several companies at the same time, they clutter the message window. Can they be disabled? Quote Selected
Re: World records messages Reply #5 – January 15, 2009, 04:06:14 am I checked with my copy of the nightly (r2227) and couldn't see anything different in the Message Centre to usual.The closest thing to disabling messages in Simutrans AFAIK is to use the auto-close option for the messages [middle of three] in the Message Centre options. (That's what I do) for the ones I don't want to deal withHere are the Message Categories and the sort of MessagesNew Year: A new year has just started, you have twelve months to make as much money as you desireAI News: What your competition is doing, use this to your advantageCity News: Reports city milestones, Pause and celebrate with the denizensNo Route: Your vehicles cannot reach their destination, solve this quick or your bankrupt and out of a jobNew Industries: Reports appearance of new factories, maybe you could become an integral part of their businessTourist: There is now something interesting for people to see, quick bus them over before they get boredNew Vehicles: A new vehicle is available to use, it might be faster, larger, stronger or all of the above.Station Full: A station is approaching it's storage capacity, perhaps you should haul away more goods.Problems: There is a problem somewhere (Usually a Traffic Jam) or you have switched to another companyAll this can be located at Message Centre in your Starter Guide or Reference Manual.--- Edit 26 Jan --- I just realised you can toggle all message settings to off to Disable messages being displayed.I will adjust the material to reflect this realisation.

World records messages is not need for game, it is only for fun.Hmm, if there is being devised a system for having p****engers decide which service to used based on service quality, the fact that a line is served by vehicles of a type that have obtained a speed record might be relevant to whether p****engers choose that or another route?

Please don't merge them together. Quote Selected
