Railway Operating Centre, or R.O.C. (pronounced: [ɑː(ɹ) əʊ ˈsiː] or [ɹɒk]). The ROC allows easy communication between Signallers and Controllers, breaking down each signalling area into their own channel. The ROC also allows private calls to be made between two users as required.

The ROC is a web app that will switch users between different Discord channels depending on a number of factors. To use the ROC, and therefore to be able to fully communicate with all participants during a Session, a user must join the On Our Lines Discord server, and request the SimSig role. Once this is done, users can login to the ROC with their Discord ID, unlocking its functionality.

Please note that ROC is still in its ALPHA stages, and is slightly unstable and has some bugs. ROC is an open source project released under the GPL-V3 licence. It's repository (and where you can contribute) will be made available again soon.

ROC can be used outside of a SimSig session, however panel names cannot be adjusted and no support is given to users outside of the official sessions.

Basic Usage

To enter into the ROC's system, you first must join the #on-our-simsig-lobby voice channel on the Discord before heading over to the ROC in your browser.

Copy your Discord Username (click on your name next to the settings cog in the bottom left of Discord) and paste it into the box. Click the Join Game button. It must include the discriminator (the # followed by 4 numbers).

You can set the panel you are working in the top right. Type in your panel name and click “Set Panel”
