Arrrr, fair enough.

Sorry for resurrecting this post: I only want to signal that with a big help of Micheal Blunk, I wrote a grf that does (almost) what your patch does. I know that now it's doesn't works for OTTD, but when property 24 is implemented, I hope it can be useful.

Please note that this grf is not intended to be used with another industries' grf - only use it with default industries (thanks Michael for pointing it out)

But, judging by posts in this threads, this patch works with any industries

It's also 2 years old, and over 8000 revisions out of date.
Which would seem to make it rather obsolete all the same.

Yes. On the other hand the patch is now nearly 2 years old while that newgrf still works. Also that patch will never be included in trunk (since it can be done by a newgrf). So what exactly is the reason to resurrect this topic?

read carefully. Again:

Yes, I know that. Did you also read my answer to that?
1. The patch is very old, it needs to be updated to actually work.
2. This patch (even if updated) will never be included in trunk.
3. The newgrf still works, and if you want the same behavior while using industry newgrfs you're better of posting in those newgrf topics to ask them to implement this too.
Who is going to update a patch that has exactly 0 chance of getting in trunk?

1. No problem
2. Didn't even mind
3. Ok.

Patch Updated

Thanks vaulter , this is much more useful to me than requesting that all the NewGRF Industry authors update their GRFs or altering them myself where we are allowed to. It's a shame this is unlikely to make it into trunk. A centralised feature to control station naming by industry is much more appealing to me than having to rely on the GRF authors wanting to include that feature as it gives me control without having to mod GRFs

Out of curiosity, does that patch only apply against 1.0.3, or trunk as well? If trunk plays nice with it, I've got an idea I want to experiment with using this patch.

You just should to check. Patch is very simple to have any issues applying to trunk.

I'm having a few slight arguments with the computer at the moment that are preventing me from actually checking, which is why I asked. Will check myself soon as I can.

The Patch didn't apply anymore after the changes in

(svn r21444) -Codechange: compute the type of elements in the argv string array on the fly and compare it with the type set by strgen

I am attaching an updated patch against r21459.

These changes broke the patch:

(svn r22258) -Codechange: introduce a wrapper class to clean up the arguments to FormatString

Attaching the patch against trunk r22502.

Patch updated to apply against current trunk

Updated to current trunk

Update to latest nightly, and also a shot at the coding style used for openttd

Edit: Oh yes, I changed the distance from 4 to 3, so stations will get the industry name only if it services the industry.

Hi there.

I start by thanking you so much because this patch, although not dramatic, is SO nice to have, especially when you have a big map and you want remember where things are: THANK YOU.

And... I bring you good news: I have just applied it to r26156 and it works just fine! Among the many patches I tried, this is the first one that just works without complaining

So, happy transporting everyone!

Good enough having the industry type (or resource type) in the station name, but when multiple industries are within the area of a station, names could be {Town} Industries, {Town} Industrial Park, etc.

So we could have the following stations:
Sometown Coal Mines
Sometown Factory
Sometown Power Plant
Sometown Iron Ore
Sometown Farms
Sometown Industries
Sometown Oil Wells

Shouldn't be too hard to add a multiple industries check in, would have to go in just before the added industry check...
