Ah. But this one just duplicates whatever the original signal is doesn't it? Thus gui free.
So is this in an condition to be added to the trunk?

Is anyone working on this?

Otherwise I would try to grab this out of MiniIN and to prepare a patch to the current trunk (just the auto-complete features, not the GUI). I am not, yet, very familiar with the OpenTTD sources, so I can not promise anything.

What would be the conditions to get it into trunk in near future, or is there no chance?

ooh that would be very cool

So, that was easier than I thought.

I tested it only very shortly, but AFAICS it works including follow-up across tunnels and bridges and building under bridges.

Have fun.

I seem to have noticed a bug/missing feature

when you have a piece of track without signals, which directly (without junctions) connects to a piece with signals, you used to be able to just 'auto complete' the part without signals, but now it gives an error: "No suitable railway track".. see screenshot

doesn't seam to be a problem with the in trunk version

on that, if your anything like me, you will probably not sure how to use autosignaling in the nightly/trunk builds - its quite simple realy, you need to ctrl+drag thats it

see the date on my post?

before autocompletion got into trunk..

There are "missing features" with the trunk version though. An extreme example: You have a 100 tiles long track and set the patch option to place a signal every 4 tiles. Now imagine that you have RRRBBRRBBRRBB.... so the 4th tile is always a bridge while the rest is rail then the in trunk version won't place a single signal because the place where it should be is blocked by a bridge. This old patch would detect such things or for example when there are only 3 tiles left before a junction it will detect it and place a signal on the last tile as well. This feature is even more important when the drag singal option is set to let's say 8 or more tiles. I assume that this requires a lot of code and therefore isn't in the trunk version. But maybe an "enhancing patch" could fix that. When I have some time I look at the old and new code and see if I can cook a good menu
