Routing Restriction (Programmable waypoint) / Virtual group

[nycom]

Hi,

I implement a rule system for the group and the waypoint.
To assign a rule to a waypoint, build a waypoint, click on it and select a rule
To assign a rule to a group, click on a group, and select a rule

Surprised! I thought no one was interested on this. Thanks.

WOW
That is going to be soooo useful

Lets hope its not too buggy so it can be trunked at some point

Looks good, I'm going to give this a try.

Hmmm... Build OTTD simply says: compile failed. Perhaps I'll try again later.

I didn't try to compile with BuildOTTD...

Did you use the first or the second patch ?

One big advantage of signals to waypoints is possibility to build on vertical and horizontal tracks.

I tried both. But I must add that compiling my own builds never really seems to work for me, even using a fail-proof method such as BuildOTTD.

Oooo! This is going to make it so much simpler to get my trains to behave property with the Station Renewals! Right now I have to manually add waypoints to keep trains flowing to their appropriately themed stations, and sometimes they mess up (i.e. if I send them to the depot while they're loading, they've already past the waypoint order and make their way to whatever platform they wish)

Nycom strikes gold again!

Edit: Ack @ flex/bison requirement! I suspect that'd have to be worked around before it can be trunk eligible. I subscribe to thread with great anticipation...

Do you get error messages? Do you set BuildOTTD to match the revision of the patch, not the latest?

It's been a while, so I can't really remember, but BuildOTTD is usually quite content with just saying the compile failed, feeling no need to specify what went wrong exactly. I did tell it to have the revision match the patch.

I rewrote the patch and removed the use of flex/bison.

I will post the diff next week.

nycom,

Can you diff your patch against svn when you have the time? Looking forward to trying it out against svn.

thanks

I'm not starting my next game without this one

[Roest]

I will post the diff next week.

"Next week" is getting old. The masses are waiting. This patch will bring us one step closer to world domination or a programming language for trains Must have it, can't wait.

I have a life...

Anyway, I update the patch and remove the needed of flex/bison...

cf first post.

Life is overrated. Thanks

Life is overrated. Thanks

I was thinking "Who needs a life when we have OTTD?!?"

(And of course, I'll point out the smilies denoting humor over this whole topic, just in case.)

patch doesn't work, guess you missed to include some changes
