Transport Tycoon Forums

The last one is not so bad, just a few issues
1. center the station name in the listing vertically, now it's more to the top
2. not all data fits if I have a station with 3-4 cargotypes. This is because of the number behind it, which I think is unnecessary.
3. don't have the selection blackened, have it behave like all other dropdown lists. We do want some form of uniformity.

Darkvater, he is asking a question and you are not answering

Reading too quickly, are we?

Doh, beat me to it...

Think that's looking really nice - you could make the window width wider by default (for same reason as DV says). Not many stations will have more than ?4? cargo types waiting...

why not alowing the window to be resizable? (probably setting a max and min width)

The screeny looks like it already is resizeable...

In fact, you could iterate all the stations before opening the window, and make it as wide as the 'biggest' station needed to be. E.g. If there were only stations with 1 cargo type waiting, then make the window width = 1. If there's a station with 4 cargo types waiting, then make it width = 4 etc.

Also, if the window is too thin to show all waiting cargo-types for a station, maybe add an arrow or a ... symbol on the right to show there are more cargo types waiting.

Looking good!

Done...

it's resizeable. I think the most station only have 2 cargo in it. so I choose to make it only fit for two. if it's have more than two cargo it will truncated, but will written when it get wider (sorry bad english )

i like this idea... maybe a '>' will do? or...

when I looke closely (in 640x480) it not blackened completely... there is a gray (too dark gray)
i will not post anything today, i have to go out of town....
see you tomorrow.

Don't put a color tag in the string of the dropdown menu, because it doesn't get recolored to white then when selected.

Blackened problem resolved. Thank to Celestar Suggestion.

nice mate

New patch again 2154 uploaded to sourceforge. with no exact cargo number.

I know this is a very old patch but why is this never been put in to trunk or has it and i cant find it

- delete -

Dose it come up how much cargo is waiting and all that sorry for sounding stupid but were is it i can only see the grean line thing no numbers

Woops, this is a patch that shows the amount of cargo waiting in numbers. You were right.

So why did this never hit trunk?

Looks like some one just for got about it what a sharm hope some one will take on the task to re update this patch becuse its realy handy to have

see were the cargo is waiting and how much of it faster the clicking like ten times and trying to find the stations

Help run a better railway

The patch itself is very interesting, but trying to update a four year old patch is close to impossible and probably not very useful. If anyone is interested, I think it should be remade from scratch using new features added to the code since then like the new GUI and the filter framework.

I can write it. This should be a moment.

//EDIT
Ready. Later I'll add button to show/hide numbers and patch for current trunk.

It seems like something good can come from extensive grave digging

I took the liberty of updating adf88's patch to current trunk. I just had to transform a DrawStringTruncated into a DrawString.

Updated.

//EDIT
I forgot to notice that I changed the number placement. Now it's on the left, closer to cargo label. Items can be arranged tighter. If you complain I'll revert this . Screen below:

It seems like the window is not redrawn correctly when the number changes (this can be checked easily keeping the window open and looking at an station where cargo is changing).
