EDIT And it does.
Which vehicles does it mess up for you?

On topic,
hthhs,
When the departure tables are empty you have put a redirect to openttd.org. Lol, they are not there either, I checked.
Would it not be better to give a more relevant message? eg. "The departure times are not calculated yet. Are you using timetables?" or something alike?
I'm stumped. I really can't see why it's not working. I haven't managed to replicate the behaviour from scratch either, even using the same patchpack. The order list you've given them should be fine.
Unfortunately as you're not using the patch applied to an otherwise unpatched source I'm not in a position to figure out what's going wrong. Sorry! Maybe the patchpack changes something to do with vehicle orders, and/or the vehicles have an order to go to a station and stay for 0 days/ticks?
I have exactly the same issue, with the same patch pack - Daylength is set to 3, my timetables are automated (as such, some are "stay 0 days" - does this matter only for the departing station, or all stations in the list?). It does seem to have occurred after I built a few stations (5th or 6th station, or so) and any further stations also exhibit the same behaviour. I've had it occur in a brand new game, and an older savegame.
I'm inclined to believe it's a bad interaction between patches, so I'll see if I can replicate it with a "vanilla" patched version.

Any "go to station" order with a travel time of 0 days or a stay time of 0 days is significant and will cause the patch to stop trying to find the next departure for the vehicle as it assumes that the vehicle is not fully timetabled.

Thank you! That would be much appreciated I haven't encountered this problem so maybe I have a weird playing style that doesn't cause it to happen.
This is a savegame made using the "vanilla" patched version on the previous page. Loaded in that version, it works fine... Loaded in Chill's patch pack and... It breaks (the trams have no departure info). Definitely an issue with the patchpack, and as such, needs to be posted in there his thread (I'm going to crosspost the info)

That's an error - thank you for spotting it! Serves me right for not checking what had changed properly and just hacking something in that seemed to do what I wanted. It seems miraculous that it ever worked...
I tweaked your patch a little bit so it would show the vehicle type icon after the destination. I know you can filter them, but I find this easier to use
I hope you like it.
Would be nice to have an arrival time too. SO its easyer to control the "intregral schedule". Dont know the word for this in englisch. It is when one train arrives at maby at 56 and the train in the other direction so departs at 04. or 57 to 03 ando so on...

It would look like in the attachment then, somehow it feels a bit more unnatural that way, but that could just be me

Yeah, I've been thinking about that as well. Would be useful to increase the station's throughput by making sure a train is gone before the next one arrives.
Eddi wrote:hm, maybe it's not perfect... how about as a separate column? (so between the destination and the "arrived" column, but aligned)
I tried that too (well actually it happened due to a bug), the type icon will look a bit isolated from the rest, it's not really the useful effect you'd have expected. I can live with the second example however, the code is a lot simpler than the first one as well.

(Patch is applied on the trunk)
That's a cool idea! I've added it to the patch on the first post of the thread with a few modifications:
- the icons are now orange, like most of the rest of the text
- the icons are shown between the time and destination, because this was easier to implement
- whether to show them or not can be set in advanced settings
Thank you!

Arrivals boards would indeed be useful. I'll look into adding them this weekend if I have time.
I really can't see why it's not working. I haven't managed to replicate the behaviour from scratch either, even using the same patchpack. The order list you've given them should be fine.
