Naming machines

Postby km17 » Wed Nov 29, 2006 10:45 pm

I was having a few problems with ownership of machines, like if more than one person owns the same type of machine it could be named or a company logo or something on it, for example: A digging machine imprinted with mark's name

I like it, dynamic naming for machines. But not a priority.

Yes, I doubt confusion often arises, but it can do, I'm sure.

Signs are being worked on. I don't see why they couldn't be attached to large pieces of machinery (such as harvesters) as well as buildings. But you will have to ask ProgD about that.

I am pretty sure this has been discussed before. The better and more popular solution is to get the code written to lock objects like machinery and drawers. That way the owner of the machine can just lock it up.

Agree, it's a better idea.
About the identification of machines, we could just number each one by its position in the objects list ("the third stone table in this place is mine").
