New Features:
1) Added hovering car text. When you highlight a car, text appears near the car indicating it's destination, etc... This makes switching MUCH easier. The text changes depending on which color filter you are using.2) Added a simple financial system to keep track of your activities. If your account balance gets too low you are prohibited from downloading trains. You can quickly make money by UPLOADING trains.3) You can save a train as a 'Template' train and retrieve it over and over again. On the 'Train Info' window there is a new button to save a train into the new 'Templates' folder. Then, from the 'Trains' window, there is a new button you can use to retrieve the template train into the 'Trains on Hard Drive' list. At this point, you can 'View' the train, quickly modify it's destinations, and then 'Ride' it into it's yard. The only 'limitation' of this system is that the train will always have the exact same car types, which maybe isn't such a big deal, as long as you can change their destinations.4) Added a new 'map list' window that can be sorted by Yard Name or Yard ID. Open it from the menu at View\Map List5) Added player's user name to the filename of files posted on the server, to make it possible for you to know who posted the file.6) Implemented Minimum Version checking, to prohibit people from using outdated versions.7) Improved radio sound logic so that all files in the folder are played once before any repeating. This prevents the same sound from occuring too frequently.8) Yard Duty now always uses a State Prefix when refering to a yard.(e.g. CA: Watson Yard)Bug Fixes:
9) Removed ability to post to server from the train exit dialog. This was causing problems.10) Car History was being written when simply loading a yard. This is fixed.11) Improved formatting in the Car history window.12) Removed Train Name from the Create Train window, since you can give it a name on the 'Train Info' window.13) Made the map list on the 'Trains' window show maps for all states, not just the selected state.14) Fixed the fatal crash that would happen when sending multiple emails for a train.Well, that's it for now.
Hope you like it!Jim
