Core developer team growths

Since I took over Simutrans development, there were never more than two people coding intensively on it and most coding efforts were just a single post of a patch or some PMs. But since a few months we have a real team. The network code development has been the first collaborative effort for a long time that got the team spirit going.

To make it officially, Knightly has now joined the core team, which includes write access to the SVN.

Simutrans ingame help online

The ingame help is one of the primary help sources in Simutrans. Thanks to Frank’s efforts the ingame help files are now directly accessible via web-browser. Go to Simutrans InGame Help Online site and choose the language.

This is just a viewer, so if you want to write new help files or modify the existing ones, use SimuTranslator. It might be also useful for people who want to print out the help files…

Networking simutrans is near

The networking code nearly reaches the first stage, where people can connect a game and play over the network on the same map. This long term effort is now coming close to functionality. You need a recent nightly and can then start a server by putting -server on the commandline. In the client, you need to enter net:127.0.0.1 as name for the game to load (if you run both on the same computer).

This is still early code, so the nightlies actually may become instable for a little while.

Simutrans now available in Korean and Greek

babel tower

Some days ago, the development team added two new items to the list of supported languages: Korean and Greek. Now Simutrans is available in 29 languages, most of them supported and translated using Simutranslator, the online translation tool of the Simutrans community.

If you want to help us translating the game to these languages or any others, request an account at the forum or simply make suggestions that will be checked and surely approved by translation maintainers. Help us to localize Simutrans!
