[Bug]: No documentation for new network public key feature
Author: LordAroCreated Dec 7, 2025Updated Jul 3, 2026
Version of OpenTTD
15.0-pre
Expected result
Nice comprehensive documentation about how to securely set up a server that only allows certain people in.
Actual result
Network passwords were removed in https://github.com/OpenTTD/OpenTTD/pull/12323 & https://github.com/OpenTTD/OpenTTD/pull/12300 et al., and people are going to become confused. We need some documentation that we can point at that explains the new methods (and possibly even why they're better)
Steps to reproduce
- Host a server in old versions
- Upgrading hosting to 15.0
- Become confused
- Post issue on bug tracker
- Get flamed
