Difficulty mode January 07, 2009, 09:08:40 am The current discussion seems to require a more advanced difficulty mode setting. Like Beginner/Normal/Advance/Custom.The mode setting would affect:- crossconnection- total price modifier- maybe p****enger production rates- maybe only p****engers to connected stations for beginner mode- Transfer count- maybe total traveling time- forbid overcrowding of stationsOF course done in a wait that it does not impact performance too much.

Re: Difficulty mode Reply #3 – January 07, 2009, 11:02:40 am That's not a bad suggestion - I particularly like "custom". If it involves taking a number of settings out of simuconf.tab and putting them in the GUI, that is a good thing, too, especially for players who are either new to the game or not fond of tinkering with settings files.

Re: Difficulty mode Reply #5 – January 07, 2009, 01:57:32 pm Custom rules should offer also a GUI interface to edit several player-wise options from simuconf.dat (and also add_industry_every from cityrules.dat). this would ease many non-geek players... Quote Selected

Re: Difficulty mode Reply #7 – January 07, 2009, 02:54:31 pm I don't need several ready-made settings like advanced mode.Many different settings only confuse players.Normal/Custom is enough. Quote Selected

But mayby this option can be with (many) other options in a seperate dialog.I think the new-world-dialog is full enough. Quote Selected
Re: Difficulty mode Reply #10 – January 07, 2009, 08:23:49 pm There can be a custom options dialog and several preconfigured defaults and one custom.What about to put those custom settings in scenarios too? Quote Selected
