Well I have no idea why it doesn't work, so I we can move busstops back into the impossible list...

What exactly about the movement code isn't working as you intend? I mean, what's it doing wrong?

eis_os · Post by **eis_os** » 07 Mar 2005 19:56

well I found some busy code that seems to be fired, makeing a station busy after all. Well now I need it patch right, because a normal bus stop without that code makes a total crash of TTD...

I have patched the query tool handler aswell, it will tell you it's a bus station, plus when I have resolved all bugs Josef will write action support for it, so you can have a own styled busstop aswell

Exactly ... make the code work the way you want it to work and when you're done we can celebrate with a "Decorate the bus stop" party.

I already have some ideas and suggestions, but they need a drive through bus stop that works first. Go for it! I need a party and so do my bus drivers.

Eis_os ! Don't give up on us. I'm sure you can make it work. Pics already look very promising. Please... keep going.

Awful quiet over here last couple of days. I hope its because eis_os is down in his lab cooking up a faite accomplie to spring on us.

Yesterday there was a test integration with alpha 45, a bug fixed in canals...

How much Days your need for the evolution the Busstop

I can't await the download this Date.

Some people already test it a bit (resulting in bugfix of canals)

It's good to now that the project has not been completely abandond.

Still looking forward to it. Thanks Oskar for another potentially awsome feature..

that feature will balance game better

another reason to use buses

And besides that, it's an essential step on the road to Trams.

... on request

Code: Select all

[14:52] <Szappy> eis_os: buses seem to stop at any busstop they encounter, regardless of it's on their orders. is this intentional?
[14:54] <eis_os> say them nonstop
[14:54] <eis_os> (works the same like train stations)
[14:54] <eis_os> wait, do have busses this option,ups
[14:55] <Szappy> no, they fon't
[14:55] <Szappy> f=d ;)
[14:56] <eis_os> well, then we have a problem
[14:56] <Mek_> add that option to busses? :P
[14:57] <Szappy> well, here's a more thorough observation
[14:58] <Szappy> if the next order is a busstop, they stop at any busstop they encounter
[14:58] <Szappy> if it is a depot, they don't
[14:58] <eis_os> well I will have a look
[14:59] <eis_os> you maybe have to report it again later when I home, otherwise I could forget
[14:59] <Szappy> I won't be here
[15:00] <Szappy> I'll post in in your threar now, ok?
[15:00] <Szappy> *thread*

Hi,

Don't see the problem with them stopping everywhere... the do so as well in real life. They don't completely reload on all though...
Hmm. Dunno. i think I could life with it if the thing is happening fast and doesnt create traffic jams.

krtaylor · Post by **krtaylor** » 11 Mar 2005 16:27

I'm not too worried, I'm confident a fix or workaround will be found.

And I hope for trolleybuses too?

Not a problem for city buses as that is somewhat realistic but could be an issue for intercity busses which usually stop at bus terminals rather than roadside bus stops.
Is the solution in modifying the code that controls bus behaviour and perhaps tweeking it so that there are two classes of busses ... one that uses stops and another (some of George's long busses ?) that uses terminals? This would be similar to airplanes and helicopters ... how does the code prevent an airplane from using a heliport?

eis_os · Post by **eis_os** » 11 Mar 2005 19:41

I have already a not very much tested code so a bus stops only if the current order says goto to it...

pETe! · Post by **pETe!** » 11 Mar 2005 21:09

I think its ok so...

a feature in the vehicle orders i am more missig is a feature where the vehicle stops and only load cargo, but doesn't unload cargo
(so a bus drive trough the city and loads the passengers and brings them to the station)

Eine Art "Zuladen"-Anweisung

krtaylor · Post by **krtaylor** » 12 Mar 2005 00:50

That's an interesting idea actually. Have the intercity bus go around to several stations in a small city collecting passengers until it's full, then go a further distance to another city. More money.
