[Patch] Departure boards, 24h clock + binary 25 (r27452)

[Comm Cody]

Wasila, Could you post the binary to a different site? I really don't trust rapidshare.

[Wasila]

Why don't you trust them?

departureboards has been updated - see the first post of the thread (http://www.tt-forums.net/viewtopic.php?f=33&t=49956#p901728).

Showing the company name struck me as being rather pointless in a single player game (or one without industry sharing), so now you can choose whether to display vehicle name, company name, both or neither. The ability to show vehicle names was added because doing so was quite simple.

Enjoy! Feedback is appreciated

Hey,

are you sure that your vehicles have timetables?

[hthhs]

wallclock has been updated - see the first post of the thread (http://www.tt-forums.net/viewtopic.php?f=33&t=49956#p901728).

I have implemented bwong's request of being able to hide the day number.

I will try to make a windows binary and post it later today.

Enjoy! Feedback is appreciated

Hey,

are you planning any further changes so far? Because I can't patch my cargodist-game every two days... It always takes me a while

And I think it would be nice to adjust the minutes / days relation in the settings (e.g. I would prefer 1 day = 3 min)

And again... .I really like your patch ... and the new possibility to show the train's name

i found out that i didn't set timetables so once that set its worked - but text on board was small so i wanted know if there big text to read?

Adjusting the number of minutes per original day would be nice, but probably a bit painful as using 1 minute per day allows me to leave most of the code alone, only interfering with the Set Date window for timetabling and intercepting calls to display dates. I'll have a look into it when I have some time but I can't promise to implement it.

Another thing I'll consider adding in the future is an alternative (i.e. allowing the player able to choose between it and the original) appearance for the departure boards, based on the ones depicted in http://www.bbc.co.uk/northyorkshire/content/images/2007/11/16/paris_gallery_1_353x470.jpg and http://www.flickr.com/photos/moley75/2546023423/. If I do add this, it won't happen for a while as I'm quite busy with other things at the moment.

Read my reply to rsdworker too. Apart from all that, I don't currently plan on adding anything else to the patch.

I'll look into adding a setting to make the text size larger.

THANK YOU! (I need to learn how to compile on my machine.>_<)

Variable minute's length has been done already. If you are going to make a minute's length variable, you might find this http://www.tt-forums.net/viewtopic.php?f=33&t=49799 helpful.

This looks intersting, too. I'll try to combine departure boards and virtual time.... That could be a milestone (for me)

[rsdworker]

thanks - its better now

[Comm Cody]

One Question. Does this mess up vehicle invention date? Or the year you pick in the start new game menu?

EDIT And it does.

wouldnt you need permission from them both...?

[ChillCore]

No, OpenTTD is liscenced under the GPL license. When you write a patch and post a binary. The code used to make the binary is also open source. See COPYING.txt
However it is nice to give credit where credit is due.

Also writing a patch for an open source project and then protecting your source does no make sense.
As an author, if you do not like the modifications that are done by someone else, don't use them in your "official" patch and make the modifier create his own thread if he is posting in your thread.

Yes, there are severs that do not provide source code but as they do not post binaries and clients join with vanilla OpenTTD they are not required to provide the source. (I speak for myself when I say I will not go near such a server.)


On topic,
hthhs,
When the departure tables are empty you have put a redirect to openttd.org. Lol, they are not there either, I checked.
Would it not be better to give a more relevant message? eg. "The departure times are not calculated yet. Are you using timetables?" or something alike?

Why? I didn't want to make a combined patch or post a binary... I only wanted to compile my own version with these patches... that's all

[bwong]

OH.
