During our [[SS:S|SimSig Sessions]] voice communication will be provided by the '''Railway Operating Centre''', or '''R.O.C.''' (pronounced: ɑːr əʊ siː). The ROC allows easy communication between [[SimSig:Signaller|Signallers]] and [[SimSig:Service Controller|Controllers]], breaking down each signalling area into their own channel. The ROC also allows private calls to be made between two users as required. | During our [[SS:S|SimSig Sessions]] voice communication will be provided by the '''Railway Operating Centre''', or '''R.O.C.'''

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 [[Discord#Roles|SimSig role]]. Once this is done, users can login to the ROC with their Discord ID, unlocking its functionality. | The ROC is a web app that will switch users between different [[Discord]] channels depending on a number of factors.

== Electron App == | |||
The Electron app can be downloaded from [https://github.com/ElaTheDeveloper/OOL-SimSig-Electron/releases/tag/v.10 GitHub]. The source code is also availible there. The Electron app is merely just a Chrome window, minus all the decorations. It just loads up the ROC webpage but allows you to have it in your taskbar. | |||
Please be aware this is currently untested. It may not function exactly like the Chrome browser and therefore may have issues. Preliminary tests indicate there is no issue. However, do not expect much support if bugs are encountered. | |||
Currently only avalible on Windows, however if users wish to build for other platforms, please do. The source code is avalible [https://github.com/ElaTheDeveloper/OOL-SimSig-Electron here]. | |||
