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

[rsdworker]

I've added the ability to enter timetable start dates as text (in hhmm format) instead of using the date gui when "Show time in minutes rather than days" is enabled. Enable Interface > "Enter timetable start times as text ..." to do this.

Any leading zeroes in the time may be omitted, so e.g. 0120 may be entered as 120, and 0005 may be entered as 5.

The first post in the thread has been updated with the new diff. Enjoy!

nice

I have a suggestion that (IMO) would improve this patch...

Can you make an option to show only one departure instead of several identical ones at the same time? For example, if I have 5 buses departing at the same time to the same place, only one will be shown.

Is this possible?

Done use the setting Interface > Departure boards > Merge identical departures.

Edit: binary updated too.

I was just wondering if there is any way to stop the time appearing as 03:.. in the timetabling window half the time and instead have the actual arrival/departure time all the time?

[hthhs]

That doesn't happen for me please can you post a screenshot of what's happening?

[Norfolkadam]

Here's a screenshot for you. You can see that some of the times in the timetable are 05:.. etc

Looks to me like a font size issue.

it's the same issue as mentioned here: http://www.tt-forums.net/viewtopic.php?p=927020#p927020
are you using an outdated patch?

[hthhs]

I don't have time to fix it properly this week, but here's a quick and dirty hack that should work...

[tim_c]

Can anyone compile this for OSX, as I'm stupid and can't do it

Please?

[hthhs]

I would, but unfortunately I don't have a mac. All I can do is point you at the instructions on the wiki.

It seems to me that the simplest way to do it is to:

* Install MacPorts and the libraries required to compile OpenTTD (instructions)
* Install svn (instructions)
* Get the latest source (instructions)
* Apply the patch (instructions)
* Compile (instructions)

Good luck! The hardest part is getting it set up and compiling successfully for the first time. Subsequent compiles should be much easier.

[Alberth]

And in the first try please skip the "apply patch" step, to test the compiler setup.

[tim_c]

Well thanks; I'll give it a go but I've never managed it before!

Is there some way to change the current time on the clock (and also change all timetables accordingly)? Due to some bugs, my attempt at creating 24h timetables have been screwed over by the clock being faster than the ingame ticks if you are having FPS drops in game (for example after playing a very heavy map.

What I want to do is basically to just set the clock back for example 3 hours and have all the trains timetable orders also jump 3 hours back (so no trains are delayed/early, it's just like for example if you adjusted for DST).

I've added a clock offset setting that should allow you to do what you want. Patch updated in the first post of the thread.

Great, cheers for the update!

you should probably automatically update this offset when using the year cheat (or looping the end year), to have the time stay constant?

I'd like to report a few issues I noticed with this patch in the version present in the latest ChilPP (sorry if you already fixed the problems in later versions)

The easiest issue:
I play with both the train name and the group name showing on the board. However, it seems there's no space at all reserved between those two fields, resulting in the groupname being behind the train name without any kind of separation for the longest train names on the board. For now I fixed it by starting all my groupnames with a space, but it would be nicer if the patch could handle that

The other issue:
I play with "Handle conditional order jumps by assuming they will not be taken". Mostly, that works fine, but I get the feeling something weird happens when an unconditional jump is encountered. Could it be that the patch still thinks it will not be taken ?

My orders are roughly like this (simplyfied, but the essence remains)

Code: Select all

1 Go to A
2 Jump to 8 when requires service is true
3 Go to B
4 Go to A
5 Jump to 10 when requires service is true
6 Go to B
7 Jump to 1
8 Go to Depot
9 Jump to 3
10 Go to Depot
11 Jump to 6

Everything works fine for the jumps in lines 2 and 5, but the jump in line 7 seems to ignored even when it's unconditional.
In fact, my timetable seems to be consistent with assuming unconditional jumps will not be made. Once the jump is actually made, the correct information suddenly appears on the board.

Does anybody able to compile OTTD with these patches together: Departure boards and Cargo distribution? And make installation package (or just zip package for unziping)?

I have some problems with compiling ottd.

Thanks
