Cloning Trains (and possibly other vehicles)

[Dribbel]

As there is no much work for me left, I've only published request for new graphics for
cursor in NEW GRAPHICS NEEDED topic. ( http://www.tt-forums.net/viewtopic.php?p=184573#184573 ).

I Hope some one produces something nice, i've no clue what kind of cursor is should be.

Also, while I remember -- I'm sure that you thought about it, but in the beggining I didn't...

• check not to clone aircraft into railway depot

With this tool you can only click on train, other vehicle clicks are ignored. (You won't accidentally clone a Yate when it's flying at high speed over your train)

I don't think you have to care much about order of locos. This may just go to 'minor glitches' section.

Hmm, than i just emptied the minot glitches section again

• provide some way to make n clones at one time Any ideas a way to make this happen?

Maybe some bash/readline like sequnece (CTRL-n and than click will make n clones)
In fact this is not essential function... I just wrote down all thoughts I had, not to forget them, but if checklist is priority list, it would be somewhere at the bottom.

It isn't needed i think. The newly cloned train is in the the depot window that is open and can easily be clicked upon for another clone action.

Also, would you mind of posting in SF some early version of your patch? I may became beta-tester

Here you go: http://sourceforge.net/tracker/index.ph ... tid=636367

• CTRL-clicking will share the orders with the train clicked on, otherwise the order will be copiedDone

And for all you lazy guys: The Patch!

Here a new version

The calculation of the refitting was based on ship prices (a openTTD bug, not mine) It is corrected in the SVN and now also in my patch.

Any testers for this one?

[Eddy]

Sorry I am new to open TT. Can you tell me where to put the .diff file to make it work.

[orudge]

The .diff file gets applied to the source code, which you have to build yourself. To be honest, I think it'd be easier either if you get someone else to build it for you, or if you just wait for a release version with this patch applied.

I see, it has been done some time ago,
so why it hasn't been already implemented into official releases?

[thorkia]

I agree... Why haven't we seen this merged with official source?!?

We want it merged!

Should you not have read what is going on:

Currently all development is focused on rewriting the network and the map array. This means rewriting the better part of the entire code. Till then a total feature freeze is in place.

So, lets keep the traditions: "How far is the progress and when will it be completed?"

You know

"Are we there yet?" - "No"
"Are we there yet?" - "No"
"Are we there yet?" - "No!!"
"Are we there yet?" - "No!!!!"
"Are we there yet?" - "No!!!!!"

Ehm, that diif has been done on 11 th of August, many time before releasing 0.3.4...

For cloning train n times... let player click 2n times

[Thanathos]

This is still needed? I can do it, but I need the size of the thing... it's a cursor or a button?

It may be something like this (ph34r my ASCII):

[···] > [···]

or

[···] = [···]

of something like this.

I don't know if you get the idea.

[MeusH]

Uh probably not

[Eddy]

I've replaced the goto animation with my clone train cursor since it's suppossed to be like it. This hasn't been tested so it might not work.
It's of course coded for ttdpatch.
Edit: The train is from the usset. Please tell me if it works.

[Eddy]

I've tested it today and it works but why isn't there any comment yet

[bobingabout]

ok, here is something quick i did to try and help, for the clone side button on the engines window.
