Patch: overwrite roadstops and airports

[d37373]

This is a patch to allow you to replace road stops (bus or truck) and airports. Simply build the new roadstop / airport over the top of the new one, similar to the way you can replace train station tiles without removing them first.

Note that, since you can only have one airport per station, trying to build an airport adjoining a station which already has an airport will also replace the old one. Let me know it that isn't the desired effect.

Also, the old airport must be free of planes, including in the hangar, take-off and landing. Basically the rules are the same as for removing an airport without this patch.

Version 1 - replace roadstops only
Version 2 - fixed bug with removing roadstops (thanks benc!).
Version 3 - fixed bug with building over a stop on a town-owned road.
Version 4 - replace airports as well

Attached is a patch against r9889

This would be a handy feature to have, but there's a major bug. Try building a road station, then rebuild over it, then bulldoze... you end up with a ghost station.

Should be fixed now - thanks.

I've updated the patch in the first post.

Can a moderator rename this topic? Thanks.

You can rename the topic yourself, just edit your first post.

I've updated the patch and fix a (or two?) bug(-s).

If you press CTRL and overbuild a airport completely and then deleted the airport you have a ghost station (see upper part of picture).

If you press CTRL and overbuild a airport only on a corner and deleted the new one you have a airport with acre (is it the right word?) as runway. With this fields you can make everything, bulldoze, plant trees, etc. (see lower part of picture).
