So now here is the .exe and .dll pack to replace into x.4208 to have the function available:
20/9/2018: attachment deleted because feature committed
I had to partly modify the main menu page of OR to insert the new function. The main menu now looks like this:
The procedure to use the function is as follows: the dispatcher may save the multiplayer session when he wants this.
When he wants to resume it, all players must be off the game.
The dispatcher must have in his main menu path and consist as in the saved session. He selects the "Resume MP" button and in the resume window he selects the session he wants and resumes.
When he is again in the game, he will see in the dispatcher window that the other player trains are shown in grey on the route.
Now the other players have 10 minutes to re-enter the game where they were when the game was saved. They too must have in their main menu their original path and the consist they had in the moment the game was saved. They must select Start MP to re-enter the game. They will re-enter the game in the place where they were when the game was saved. If however the consist is different from the original one or if they proceeded less than 1 Km from game start, they will re-enter the game at the beginning of the path.
As there are many possible cases, it may be possible that some of them are not covered.
I'd like to have feedbacks both on the feature and on the modified main menu.
