Purchase Window Refit Information Patch

mart3p · Post by **mart3p** » 15 Jun 2006 22:31

I have often found it annoying that the purchase window doesn't show the possible refit options for each vehicle. This patch adds this feature and also fixes a bug where text can sometimes overflow the bottom of the list (e.g. the UKRS Pendolino).

The refit options are displayed in the same format as in TTDPatch and are also displayed in the vehicle replace window.

The screenshot shows an example using Pikabird's UKRS.

Edit: win32 exe added

Some more example purchase lists showing the US Train Set, Grigory's Russian Planes and Michael Blunck's Newships and also, now that OTTD supports refittable road vehicles, George's Long Vehicles.

This will prove very useful. I still don't remember what carries what for the US Set.

(By the way, what version of the LVs did you use for that screenshot, mart3p? Obviously 4 and 3 3/4 are still a bit too advanced for OTTD).

I'm using Long Vehicles v2.

And thanks for the comments everyone.

Seems like "Suitable for" and "Special features" are not in english.txt.
Are these parts of newgrf, so these will remain untranslated in other languages?

The strings "Suitable for" and "Special features" are part of the UKRS grf. They are currently only in English. It is possible to add translations for grf texts but this would be an update of the grf file. Perhaps you should talk to Pikabird about this.

Just to let you know this patch is still being supported. An update against r5933 is in the first post.

A suggestion: How about if OpenTTD would recognize commonly used strings in newgrf files and then would get translations for them from the lang-files?

this new topic have been splitted out and moved to http://www.tt-forums.net/viewtopic.php?t=26957

Bjarni: Thanks for splitting the NewGRF translation discussion to its own thread. It was a bit off topic here. Not that I minded

but I thought the discussion deserved its own topic.

mart3p, how's the progress on this patch? I'm looking forward for it, it's great

mart3p · Post by **mart3p** » 22 Aug 2006 21:32

Thanks MeusH

The patch has now had 2 months testing in the MiniIN with no reported problems. As far as I’m concerned it’s finished and (unlike some of my patches) it doesn‘t have any nasty hacks.

I would like to see it in the trunk, I guess it just needs a dev to take an interest. Maybe I should post it on Flyspray...

Or you could poke peter1138 with it!

mart3p · Post by **mart3p** » 23 Oct 2006 22:43

I'm very pleased to announce that peter1138 has added my Purchase List Refit Options patch to the trunk.

Once again peter1138 has made a few improvements, but happily he hasn't had to hack the code about to the extent that was required in my previous patches.

This feature will be available in tomorrows nightly build. Thanks yet again peter1138.
