<h1><strong>Player List</strong></h1>

<p>
<strong>Player List</strong> provides information & has controls for different player companies.
</p>
<p>
Click on Players-button in <a href="options.txt">Game Options</a> or press <a href="keys.txt">[k]</a> to open <strong>Player List</strong> which shows player names & <a href="finances.txt">Account Balances</a>.
</p>
<p>
There are eight players: human, public service and six AI players. Controls enable game-play as different player companies if <a href="new_world.txt">Allow player change</a> was selected at the start of the game.
</p>
<p>
Click on arrow-button to operate as that player company in the current game. A confirmation message appears that player has been changed: click on x in top-left corner of message or use keyboard to close.
</p>
<p>
Click on player name to see their <a href="finances.txt">Finances</a>.
</p>
<p>
Click square-button by AI player name to switch on/off AI player (button is indented when player is selected).
</p>
<p>
AI players do not go bankrupt & run vehicles with maximum efficiency.<br>
Switching off an AI player during a game will not remove its transport network.<br>
Some AI players may use just road or rail vehicles, some may transport just goods or passengers.
</p>
<p>
{Tips: Vehicles may not use another players tracks or <a href="station.txt">Stops</a> (however vehicles from all players may use items built by the public service player).<br>
Players may not build items or place waypoints on another player's track or <a href="roadtools.txt">road</a>, or remove items built by another player (however some items built by the public service player may be removed using <a href="removal_tool.txt">Destroy/Remove</a>).<br>
Disable player-change option and access extra <a href="edittools.txt">tools</a> as the public service player.}
</p>
<p>
For games over internet, the players can be protected by passwords.
A protected player is marked by a red box to the right of his name.
If no password is set or the player is unlocked, this box is shown in gree. Click on the box to open the password dialog, where the passwort can be typed or set.
