Next, I'll have a look at the Map Window translations. Since it was originally just a Debug Window, I don't think it ever had translations working.

I've got the translations in the MapForm to work now on my PC, as in the first image.




Windows Forms require an extra statement and you have to run Localizer.Localize() on the appropriate catalog after you initialize the form - see code diff below.



Hope this helps,

Thank you for your help Chris, I finally got translations working! However, they do not work with dropdown menus (ContextMenuStrip), and I can't find anything online for why should this be.

In general, the new Map window has reached feature parity with the old one (as of the build after U2023.10.24-0407), so please test it and let me know of any bugs! I will soon remove the old Dispatcher if everyone's satisfied with the new one. Additional features for the new window will come in subsequent PRs (pull requests).

They should have get text tags, as I can see.

Maybe I have lost some related post, but where can I find the Daylight offset box in the new Map Window?

It's now a key combination, like the other debug actions:

So that you can use it without opening the Map Window.


Glad you find it useful.

Thanks, Gergely.

Hello.
I'm grateful to authors for this new window - the next step for such long-awaited 2-d viewer.
I hope, some day it will become standalone option to run the game - very useful as a low-resource consumption testing environment for activity/timetables debugging.
Pair of issues, partially tied with translation:

Drawn path now is light-blue (instead of red before) dashed line, platforms are light-light blue and very thin highlight - They both are looking the same now!:(.
So it's hard to see platforms on map.

What "Allow new players to join" and "Penalty for speeding && SPAD" actually mean?
I have to re-phrase those for fitting fields, but the Manual tells no details.

Hi Weter,

I appreciate your feedback, and will look into making platforms stand out more. By the way, do you like the dashed path, or would you prefer it to be drawn as a solid line as in the old Map window?

"Allow new players to join" controls whether players who aren't in the multiplayer server may join the session. If it's checked (it is by default), people will be able to join your multiplayer session normally. If it's unchecked, the server will refuse any new connections and those who attempt to join will start in the classic offline single player mode instead.

I copied "Penalty for speeding & SPAD" (the double ampersand && is necessary as explained here, but I should probably change it to the second solution to avoid confusion) from the old Map window. However, I've just done some digging into the code and it appears that this option actually does nothing. Essentially, in its current state, it's a waste of CPU time. It would be interesting to hear from a developer who knows more about why this option was added and if it is still needed or not.

Good evening, Gergely!
Thanks for interest.
I think, dashed path drawing is a good idea. Maybe, making it thinner on greater map magnification?

Hm, Do I understand it right, since multiplayer dispatcher (host) have decided, that there are enough players already - he can uncheck that box to prevent new players joining, while everyone, who have already joined will be left within multiplayer and allowed to continue current session?
