Sort and filter stations in the station list window

[ChrisHuebsch]

When there are too many stations it is becomes harder
and harder to keep an eye on each station.

This patch allows to sort and filter the station list.

Filtering: On top of the window are two sections. Left
the types of vehicles, right the type of cargo.
If one clicks on one of these buttons, only the
selected vehicle-type or cargo is selected for
filtering. If ctrl is pressed while clicking, more than
one vehicle-type/cargo can be selected. There is a
special cargo No. 13. It is the grey one on the far
right side. This cargo means "no cargo". (Eg. stations
only receiving cargo, but not producing.)

Sorting: In the second row there is a toggle-button to
change between ascending and descending. Possible sort-
types are:
Name, Type (of vehicle), Rating min/max (use the best/
worst rating of waiting goods) and waiting goods
(expected revenue if all of the waiting goods are
transported 20 fields away during 50 days).

Comments are appreciated.

I like it!

Can you supply a fully working program with the patch, for people without compilers?

Sorry. I cannot. I only use Linux and can only make linux-binaries.
I someone can compile some binaries, it would be great.

There are changes in the lang-files. So one has to include a new english.lng!

Nice patch. If you are happy for it to be included in the Integrated Nightly, I will add it to the next build.

Thanks - this is something Ive wanted for ages. It is a royal pain on a BIG map when you have 250+ stations, and are looking for that lorry depot with excess mail..

Cool patch, I like it too!
Especially on big maps it can be really useful.

But for the CargoType "Coal" you should use white text, otherwise you can not read it!

Here is the win32 binary, along with a little bonus, the french translation patch and french language file.

It would be great. Where can this "Integrared Nightly" can be found? I'd like to point some friends to it.

ChrisHuebsch, please submit it to http://bugs.openttd.org/ - chance of having it in OTTD after 0.4.5 will increase

The chance for any further new feature before the next release is zero. There are enough problems with broken features, which never got finished, at the moment and we're busy with cleaning up that mess.

Sorry, somehow i read "before" instead of "after"

The patch is in one place: the sf.net-repo. It can be easily downloaded if there is any interest in it.
I think it is not good to have a patch duplicated to more than 1 location.

I do not have time to reprogramm it again and again to have that patch in sync with the svn-repo. Last time I did that in summer 3 or 4 times. I think that is enough.

I upgraded win binary posted earlier.
It is now made from sort_And_FilterStation2.patch, plus a little correction due to Tron's STR_SORT correction.
As usual, french is translated too...
