Total Cargo

BeeJAy · Post by **BeeJAy** » 21 Jun 2004 09:40

I have a suggestion, in the train information window, where it lists the current cargo the train is carrying, it would be handy to have some sort of total cargo put somewhere there and also in the capacities, so that you can see the total capacity your train can hold. This would make things A LOT easier when you are trying to figure out how many carriages your train needs, or how many you need to take off/add on, for example if an industry decreases or increases production.

yes indeed, that piece of info would sure be handy in lots of situations!

Yes, indeed it would be useful. But how would you show total cargo for a train that consists of different types of cargo? Eg passangers, mail + goods?

maybe a fourth tab in the train property window?

I don't really see yet how it would look like, and what would be there. Maybe a picture?

Code: Select all

You haven't already?

At the moment I think OpenTTD is way better than TTD + Patch.

Darkwater: Nice

Well, I think many doesn't play openttd yet because there is still basic features from ttdpatch which have yet to come to openttd, even if openttd offers many features which ttdpatch can't give us.

such as the graphics issue?, though i might be completely wrong, because i remember there was a way (in development, still), to include grf files, not found it again, lousy internet connection i have, i'll keep tryin.

oh, and Ontopic again, great idea!

well, i have yet to learn how to compile, and nightly builds appear yet having too many bugs to do that.
