improved tile info: name of grf

Post by planetmaker »

An idea which recently came up in one game was, that it'd be nice, if the tile info could return the grf name (or the set name) from which a building on that tile originates. Especially interesting is this feature for nicely eye-candied stations in multiplayer and you try to deduce what sorts of grf were used to create the nice scenery :).

If it has been proposed before, I'm sorry, but I didn't find it (probably as there are zillions of ways to describe the topic).

Please consider this as a very low priority, but nice to have feature request :).

Like this?

Works only for stations... The tiledesc window is too big when there is no information, it would be nice if it was resized dyanmically. Also the strings are probably... strange :)
