[Patch] quick goto (r14400)

sulai · **Joined:** Fri Sep 24, 2004 6:23 pm **Posts:** 157

Hey guys,

Creating orders for vehicles is much clicking. This patch makes things easier:

already active

stays active

You will save many clicks. Example: you save 4 clicks creating these orders:

Code:

1: Go to Station#1 (Full Load)
2: Go to Station#2

This saves 2 clicks:

Code:

1: Go to Station#1
2: Go to Station#2

creating shared/copied orders saves 1 click.

There is a patch entry in the interface category.

This is the Flyspray Task.

(Old versions of) Quick Goto is available in
Roest's Patch Pack (including Windows Binaries)
Tib's Patch Pack (including Windows Binaries)

The ctrl+click giving full load is good. The goto button stays active needs a patch option, but the goto already active should only happen if the order list is empty.

Some nice ideas!

I don't like it...pause not (also borat style)

Very Nice! (borat style too)

Seriously, I think this patch is a great adittion to the game. I agree with Yexo's comments. If you implement those, I'm pretty sure that your patch will be inculeded in trunk (at least, I hope so!).

Just a little update:

* goto is already active only if there are no (or just one) orders
* there is a patch option now, which doesn't affect savegame format or network synchronization.

See first post for the .diff file.

Couldn't you call the function that flags a train as having too few orders, and use that to determine whether or not the goto should start off active?

This is a very useful addition, I like it.

Thank you core! Good idea, vwspeedracer, I will check that!

Hi.

The Ctrl-Click for the full load enty is a really great idea. I'd made this a patch of it's own. I think that's very likely to get into trunk if coded to the coding guide lines. Nice work, btw.

Kind regards

Patch updated to latest revision. See first post.

I checked for that. The function that is responsible (order_cmd.cpp : CheckOrders()) depends on the "order_review_system" patch. Because of that you can't use that function for the check.

Anyway CheckOrders() inspired me to check only for "OT_GOTO_STATION" entries. If you have less than 2, the GoTo button will show up active if the orders window is opened.

Quote:

FOR_VEHICLE_ORDERS(v, order) {

n_st++;

}
if (n_st < 2) {

// button active...}

I also checked for the coding guide lines. Everything seems fine!

is there any way to add a shortcut to create "Load any cargo" orders?

sulai · **Joined:** Fri Sep 24, 2004 6:23 pm **Posts:** 157

May this could be done using a patch settings entry. You could select which type of order is created by "ctrl+click on station".

Another possibility: "ctrl + 2 clicks on station" cycles through full load, load any, ...

He, you made my work for the next edition of wwottdgd quite a bit easier, I guess. Thx mate.

This patch is a great idea
I didn't tried this patch, if you have more than 1 order is this behavior activated? What about CTRL+Click on the GoTo button to make it "sticky"?
I hope is possible to extend it for building too, I wanted to do the same thing to build road stops because you can build only one of them per time
I already started to work on drag&drop lay out road stations, all in the same direction and possibly overwriting existent ones, like happen now with rail stations, this mainly because when you want to extend a road station adjacent to 2 rail stations you can't because you can't drag the road station as you can do with the rail one and happens that: 1) you can't build an adjacent station 2) you build a different adjacent station
ok I know I write like a sheep, when I'll be back at home I'll post some pictures as support

EDIT: Here is it

hm... this patch doesn't apply the usual way with -p0 but with -p1 when in the trunk dir :S
