Patch: New orders window

UPDATE!

Evil on liners

After adding one line (more or less) drag and drop works.

Also cleaned up the code.

drag and drop between windows or just within the one window?

You can change the ordes of ONE order list.

And another update. Mostly coding style. After telling vim to show up space's and tab's it's easier to see superfluous char's.

This patch is great!

In the icon-button-bar should only be the most used buttons (only 3-4).
The text-button-bar should include the remaining buttons.
Goto and skip should really be in the icon-button-bar.
Now the question is which button(s) is needed often too?

I use Go To, Full Load, Skip, and Delete the most, in that order.

The x y z buttons make it look pretty complicated, when it isnt. =) What if Go To was just an arrow, skip was a curved arrow jumping over something, and delete was a red X? Full load could be an open-top box with a curved arrow pointing into it.

Nice to hear.

I don't want to add full load or any other sub button as image button (I'm working on something).

I used the original cursor as template. A kind of order/list should be visualised in the icon. Sure it's not a really nice solution, but it is the most fitting one to the other icons.

Click on the vehicle does the job either.

Yup, works well until they are in the depot fir replacement. My current method is to send the train out of the depot and stop it before it turns around (when it gets to another track type) which is rather silly (and stops the working trains at the closest signal.)

Drag and drop is such a thing in OTTD, adding a button or changing it's behavior is quite simple, but I don't get this damned drag and drop working.
Draging a order between two vehicles would require more work than it's worth. IMO (ATM)

Goes with the above suggestion really. (although there have been other times)
But its not a requirement, would just be cool. (now that you have D&D working)

Patch updated. Last version contained a bug.

Now everything should be ok again.
Optimised the button settings algorithm too.

[EDIT]Further update after recent trunk changes.

Experimental new display. ATM out of order. Just a concept.

[EDIT] Fixed and included in the patch. Thanks to Rubidium.

[EDIT2] New icons concepts attached.

Well i vote "I" it seems more easy for me to understand

i like I and VI but i do think BI could stand out a bit more with a larger red line.

@skidd13: On a side note when i finish my skip order patches i think that the skip function should be moved to the new / expanded gui system with the other skip order.

Learning SVG so I made these. =) This is what I had suggested earlier.

The problem is that the icons aren't clear enougth.
Thats why I have to edit the Set #1.

Rubidium: Hope its better now.

New ones are IH, IL.

I think the poll has shown enought. I keept to near to the style of SET I. But I changed it cause some dev's think they are too unclear.
Thanks to all the votes to help me finding the right style.

Added also the new cursor and updated the patch.

Hope it's fine now.

Can a moderator please kill the poll. Thanks.

Due the concerns of some dev's regarding icons for goto, delete and skip I rewrote the gui back to a textbtn gui. So no changes to the openttd.grf, etc.

Have fun with the TEXTBTN's.

what does change from the normal gui?
(except for the non stop button for vehicles)
