Service rating details patch

To everyone who (like me) has ever wondered why your service ratings are not as high as they should be, please take a look at the attached screenshot. :wink:

This patch adds a new window to show what's contributing to the rating of a service in a station, in the same style as the "Detailed performance rating" window. :)

It has only been tested with revision 2201 (might need adjustments on other versions) and is working pretty well 8)

If you want to know even more details of how ratings work, take a look at this wiki page.

Doesn't look so bad, but why don't total in your window and the old window show the same value? :shock:

Also, the totals add up to 271, not 255, though I understand that is the way the original worked.

Yep:
Finally, to calculate the rating, the game adds up the points from each component and then takes the percentage out of 255. So, if you have 255 or more points, you get a rating of 100%; 127 points gets your 50%, and so on.

Darkvater: the real rating is increased/decreased in small steps according to the total rating (I've written that in the tip of the total rating).
