Autorenew and variable F2

[PikkaBird]

It appears the contents of vehicle variable F2 (B Refit cycle, how many times refitted to the same cargo type) are not copied over when a vehicle is autorenewed. Can this be changed so it is copied to the new vehicle(s)?

[Bjarni]

I will look into this when I'm done with what I'm currently working on (which happens to be something else in autoreplace). Can you provide a savegame where it's quick to test this?

I'll have to make a test grf to make it really obvious, I'll try to get to it in the next couple of days.

Here is a test grf. The demonstration loco has 4 clearly identifiable liveries (different coloured and numbered rectangles ) an intro date of 1921 and a vehicle lifespan of 2 years. The title of the grf is "Cargo Refit Test".

To see the problem: build a loco, refit it to a different livery, set it going and fastforward to the autorenew. The autorenew will reset it to livery 0.

Sorry to bring this old topic up, but i have just en counted this problem, is there going to be a fix for it in the future for OpenTTD?

On my TODO list for long time

(Do you now know more than before? )

Edit: Oh, forgot to mention: There is a FS task for this. http://bugs.openttd.org/task/2616
