Thanks for the update - this now really works fine :)

I've included this version in my client-side patch pack: (diff file).

You posted some part of a diff file ... which tells us nothing about any conflict as I see it.

Besides, it's not intention of this patch to be compatible with copy & paste :)

I tried the new GUI and I am missing one little thing from the old GUI - in new GUI, you select station tiles by image, not by name. However, the name sometimes contain useful information in some sets, so I think it would be nice for the name to be shown for currently selected item too (perhaps somewhere near the Cargo information?).

While you can query the name by using right mouse button, just displaying it for selected station would mean less clicks :)
If you need something, do it yourself or it will be never done.

My patches: Extra large maps (1048576 high, 1048576 wide) (FS#1059), Vehicle + Town + Industry console commands (FS#1060), few minor patches (FS#2820, FS#1521, FS#2837, FS#2843), AI debugging facility

Other: Very large ships NewGRF, Bilbo's multiplayer patch pack v5 (for OpenTTD 0.7.3)

Fewer! Clicks are countable.

If it is countable, there are fewer of them. If it's uncountable, there is less of it.

I updated the rail_gui.cpp file from the original patch to update current string changes in trunk. I hope the original patch creator doesn't mind. I really like this patch, it helps a lot!

I agree. These strings should be displayed.

Hi,

I like the look of this patch very much, and wanted to apply it but unfortunately the compilation doesn't work! :-( I am running it on Mac OSX 10.4.11 with the latest nightlies, the ./configure only works if i use --without-makedepend, but the make bundle keeps coming up with errors... (see below) Otherwise i've done exactly as prescribed on the wiki...
[SRC] DEP CHECK (all files)
make[1]: *** [Makefile.dep] Error 1
make: *** [all] Error 2
Any ideas why this might be?

Thanks for any help...

I don't have an idea so far, it works for me - if applied to the correct version e.g. not to latest trunk.

What is the result, if you do a "normal" ./configure without any further options?
make failed at some earlier stage. There should be more to the error message which you skipped; you cut away a bit too much, maybe paste that output, too.

Updated to 16206. Fiddled with the layout some.

Changed it so tooltips now show up on mouseover instead of right-click as an experiment. Let me know what you think.

This of course brings to light the fact that the tooltip colors keep changing randomly. Going in to the tooltips class draw function and forcing the multiline string to draw TC_BLACK makes no difference. Anybody have any ideas on how to fix this? It seems to rotate between white, pink, grey, and whether or not it has a border, so I'm really at a loss as to why this is happening ;__;

Diff in the first post.

So we got nested widgets for the build gui now. I'll try and have an updated patch sometime this week.

This is an update of the version found at planetmaker's patch queue. I don't remember if I only applied it to current trunk or if I had to make soem changes to fix rejects. Anyways there's no changes to features.
