Destinations for passengers....

Fantastic list, I can't wait to see some of the features implemented...

I believe it's so because it uses noise to make up the map.. (TGP -> TerraGenesis, which uses Perlin noise)
Although it can be done too I guess..

Back in the old days, this was thousands of times suggested but it never came up again until a certain moment:

"What happend with the signals in tunnels/on bridges/in stations suggestion?"

I remember it being a difficult task to implement it in OTTD. But that was around the time v0.4.0 came out or something.
What about today? Any progress or other information about it?

Who can enlighten me?

[belugas]

It is still (and even worse) extremely difficult task to accomplish.
And not one actually in developpement either

[DeletedUser21]

Darn, that sucks. Well I hope there would be a time where this could be possible. That would add almost a new dimention to the game.

[Guisseppe]

In that case, I have an other one:

Once upon a time, in the MiniN, there was a "options" button in the stations status-menu. When you pushed the button, you could select a option "leave station when #nr vehicles are loading". (where you could choose the # )

In the development corner, I can find some advanced orders topics and patches, but I just want the option mentioned above. Could anyone enlighten me to?

why would you need signals in stations??

[ebik]

why would you need signals in stations??

E.g. to have two or more trains on same track loading?
Or to decrease the delay when there is no train on track on heavy loaded RoRo's?

[hectobar]

good point but dont the trains have to touch the end of the station to start loading/unloading

[Trond]

dont the trains have to touch the end of the station to start loading/unloading

nope, they just have to stop.

[hectobar]

how would you know anyway if you cant put signals in stations

[Trond]

There is a patch called middle stop... Makes short trains stop in middle of stations... So I know...

[hectobar]

but thats a patch which is designed to make it do that so that is kind of different

[Trond]

*yawn* okey

[ebik]

(Sorry for the offtopic, but I don't want to start another thread as I think this is last post of mine concerning signals in stations.)

good point but dont the trains have to touch the end of the station to start loading/unloading

I think the best thing how to programm this is that train that stops in the station and either its engine is on the end (maybe we can also allow loading and unloading TO CARS ONLY, thus allowing the engine be outside the station) OR the last car is IN the station. (I.e. train will load or unload only when it is whole in the station, except the case it is longer than station.)

*yawn* okey

hehe

If that 11 line patch can make trains unload at the middle of stations, I dont see a problem that could also be implemented in a feature with signals in stations anyway...

[DaleStan]

If that 11 line patch

It's impossible for a svn diff to be eleven lines long.
The minimum possible is four lines of file header (Index, row of ====, +++ filename, --- filename), one line of location information (@@...@@), three lines of context, one added or removed line, and three more lines of context. Total 4+1+3+1+3=12.

[Trond]

Yes, I just counted the lines that gets added, the ones with + in fron of them. Counting empty lines and all its 26 lines.

[Bilbo]

... three lines of context, one added or removed line, and three more lines of context. Total 4+1+3+1+3=12.

If the added text is on beginning or end of file, you can have less lines of context than 3+3.
