Mass orders/grouping interface

You probably look for this feature to autorenew your old vehicles.

Ooh, nice work.

I noticed one minor bug with group counts and deleting trains though. If you delete an entire train the count seems to get decreased by the number of vehicles in the train - so if you create a group, add an engine with a carriage to it and then delete the train it claims there are 65,535 vehicles in the group rather than 0.

Any possibility of adding the ability of manually ordering the group names? Example - "Move Up" or "Move Down" in the list?

Other than that, fantastic patch!!

EDIT [1]: Also, what about another filter on the right pane (especially when using the All Trains group) that can be set to "Grouped, Ungrouped, or ALL" - so that you can quickly determine which trains are not yet grouped, and build groups from that subset?

EDIT [2]: Is the text-limit hardcoded? It would be nice to have longer group names, if possible.

Hi
I have had an idea that could fit quite well with this patch:
I find it a long and arduous job to replace one order in many trains. For example when i want to replace a conventional waypoint with a station waypoint (using TTDP non-stop) there isn't a list of trains that visit that station. So i was wondering whether it would be possible to have a replace order feature where you select the order and choose what to replace it in. You could select a group of trains to replace it in and then it would replace it automatically. I think this could fit in quite well with the group trains patch that is being developed.

What about a divert to/pause command? If you are upgrading an airport or station you could have all the vehicles going into that station be paused or diverted to another station.

That would be good. But isnt the divert to thing just like a temporary version of what i suggested. What would the pause feature entail? I don't think stopping all trains that go there whilst on the mainline is a really good idea.

Hi all,

Thanks to rubidium for committing my group patch to the trunk.
I have updated the rule patch to rev9957.

this is such a cool feature, I am really looking forward to see the rules function in the trunk

nycom · Post by **nycom** » 27 May 2007 22:14

patch updated (rev9958)
- several bugs have been fixed.

Hello, your printscreen are very nice,
but please could you make a printscreen where you open the combobox, to let us see all criteria possibilities :
what I found so far by reading this thread,
you have :
- Reliability
- Age
- Current order - contains/is
- Orders - contains
- cargo type - is only
- Total weight

I don't know other criteria you made for rules, and I'm interrested to know it..

By the way I suggest a new one : "status", that could be
status = loading | unloading | onroad | stopped | broken | servicing

Thank you, I hope this "rule" patch will be on trunk soon.

edit: removed code as nycom posted function details

@ nycom. I don't see Percentage Full there what are you doing to me

.

Also how about vehicle / train engine type.

On another note i think the station windows should open up to the groups window and the first group on the list could be a temporary virtual group of that station. And from these virtual groups the trains can then be moved into real groups.

Also how about virtual group of trains not in a group or virtual group.
As example of what i mean would be this

Train !in any Group
Order contains "Station A"

Or
Train !in "Group C"
Order contains "Station A"

Keep up the good work

- Max speed (==, !=, >=, <=, <, >),
- Age (==, !=, >=, <=, <, >),
- Reliability (==, !=, >=, <=, <, >),
- Total weight (==, !=, >=, <=, <, >),
- Cargo type (is, isn't, is only)
- Profit this year (==, !=, >=, <=, <, >),
- Profit last year (==, !=, >=, <=, <, >),
- Orders (is, isn't, contains, doesn't contain, begins with, doesn't begin with),
- Current Order (is, isn't, contains, doesn't contain, begins with, doesn't begin with),

Nice suggestion, I will implement this new criteria this week.

l_Blue_l · Post by **l_Blue_l** » 28 May 2007 01:25

I think that last order and next order would also be useful to go with current order.

And how about "last service" more then x days ago.

Your rule patch (both r9957 and r9958) fail to compile because:
a) you forgot to add your files to source.list (I fixed that myself)
b) my compiler doesn't know what to do with .lex files (or .y files) and thus can't find IsMatch().

I'm compiling with MinGW using gcc 3.4.2 but my guess is that MSVS also doesn't know how to handle .lex files (not entirely sure here).

Maedhros · Post by **Maedhros** » 28 May 2007 10:37

For .lex files you'll need flex and for .y files you'll need yacc or bison.

Hello,

Updates & bugs fixes.
I also added new criteria:
- Max speed (==, !=, >=, <=, <, >),
- Age (==, !=, >=, <=, <, >),
- Reliability (==, !=, >=, <=, <, >),
- Total weight (==, !=, >=, <=, <, >),
- Cargo type (is, isn't, is only)
- Profit this year (==, !=, >=, <=, <, >),
- Profit last year (==, !=, >=, <=, <, >),
- Orders (is, isn't, contains, doesn't contain, begins with, doesn't begin with),
- Current Order (is, isn't, contains, doesn't contain, begins with, doesn't begin with),
- Last Order (is, isn't, contains, doesn't contain, begins with, doesn't begin with),
- Next Order (is, isn't, contains, doesn't contain, begins with, doesn't begin with),
- In a depot
- In a group
- Not in a group
- last service (in days) (==, !=, >=, <=, <, >),

You need Yacc/flex to compile the patch.

Hi nycom!

This is really great work! I very much support your patch!

I did some research on how to combine all group types (lets call them "categories") together, creating some "faked screenshots".

In this way we would have the groups available like they are now in 0.6.0, but also "property based groups" like you have already developed.

Would be nice to hear your opinions.
