Smiley Posted January 25, 2023 Share Posted January 25, 2023 (edited) Lately, afk dispatchers have been piling up. Would it be possible to implement an afk kick system for dispatchers? Or simply a better reporting system if dispatchers are really afk. Or you insert a bot activation, as you have it as driver.

freakcom Posted January 28, 2023 Share Posted January 28, 2023 this can maybe also help, if you have done a failure, by pushing a false button, or something like that Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wrf45 Posted January 29, 2023 Share Posted January 29, 2023 This would be a great improvement. There are lots of Boxes blocked by AFK Dispatchers that just sit there to unlock the next Signal Box doing nothing. I totally agree with the Idea of a better reporting System. I tried to report AFK Dispatchers a few times, but the Report Box didn't work. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SurvivorSean Posted January 29, 2023 Share Posted January 29, 2023 There was something in before but it was very annoying becasue it would activate durring lull times. I believe they made it smarter for trains, but the DS portion was just discontinued as far as I know. I think one way to solve this is that AI trains or even player trains contact the tower for a signal. If the tower doesn't respond in 60 seconds boot them. Even the busiest desks have lull times that can be used to be AFK for a few minutes. For players perhaps similar to dispatch you have the option of chat vs command so that when you are in a train you can try a command and it would provide commands for the next signal box you are approaching. I'm not sure how the 1 and 3 radio keys work in regards to contacting a player in a box. I guess it just makes that radio noise but I never know if it's for me or somoene nearby.
