Since the end of last year, multiplayer has been publicly tested in the Czech Trains strategy. It has finally entered a stable phase and author Jan Zeleny is ready to release it. It will be released today, April 11, 2022.
“The multiplayer seems to have been stable for some time, so let’s release it so I can finish other work in progress.” announced Honza on social media.
cars in multi-user support up to 8 players on one map, including those created by hand. Connection peer 2 peer but play you can host without public ip. Of course, there is no way to protect your server with a password.
“With this update, Cars game has become closer adding the last historical eraplanes, more vehicle and building variation content, more special events, and finally the full release of version 1.0,” the author claims.
COOPERATION X COMPETITIONS
Companies and players are separated according to the logic of the game, so you can join other players in their company or create your own at any time during the game.
Several companies can cooperate on quests (some quests are shared intentionally), you can fight with friends for resources or cooperate in supplying industrial buildings and exchanging products. You can also password protect your company so no one can freely join your shipping empire. You can also share your entire rail network with another company and, if necessary, set boundaries by setting up a special signal to allow only the owner of the track to enter.
Companies have their own performance ratings, which are displayed in a new company window (including detailed graphs) from 0 to 1000 points. In essence, it shows how successful the company is. In addition, the look of your corporate headquarters changes accordingly.
You can use the chat window (using ~ or the icon) to chat with your teammates and easily add a map location or object to your messages by clicking on it when composing a message. Anyone can point the camera at the subject of discussion by clicking on these hyperlinks, which makes it easier, for example, to plan a general strategy.
You can also see each player’s “cursor” on the map, and when someone enters first-person mode, the appearance of their cursor in the game world changes, and you can see not only their position, but also their direction of view. You can easily walk around the world together, drive vehicles, for example, chase each other over the roofs of buildings or derail a train together. Fun is no longer just cargo delivery, but multiplayer opens up completely new possibilities 😀
To support multiplayer, a load sharing rating has been added to each station. It’s important to load up frequently to keep your station ranked high. Otherwise, the industry may prefer another station or, when your rating drops to zero, redistribute your cargo elsewhere.
Thanks to several serious optimizations, not only for multiplayer, the game runs more smoothly in single player mode. In multiplayer, the fps increase can be a little higher, because only the server counts the paths and game logic and evaluates the scripts. This not only helps to make the process smoother, but also prevents cheating or local modifications of the game that might be useful to someone.
On the other hand, Steam Workshop mods are also allowed in multiplayer and the game automatically checks and updates the list of mods used when connected to a server.
Finally, in addition to the many fixes that are also part of this update, yellow chain signals work so that each train first checks its path to see if it can safely leave the next block and, if necessary, stay ahead of the chain. light.
Shadows have also been improved, editor brush fixes, FPS caps, no train loading, a few rarer crashes, and over 200 other minor bugs.
To start a multiplayer game, enable this option in the new game settings window or start the server while playing one of the already played games. You can also password protect your server, connect to another server from your Steam friends list, run your own server without a public IP and have some fun with your friends. The settings will remain saved in the file, so the next time you load this game, your server will be online again.
