Transport Tycoon Forums

Without having any knowledge of C, I managed to create a small patch for OpenTTD: Statistix!

It adds statistical windows to the town, train and road vehicle dialogs, so you can monitor for example the growth of population, or the decrease in value of trains. It's only minor, but usefull I think.

Please give comments. Note that this 'project' is mainly to increase my C programming skills...

r2 [2005-08-29]:
-Fixed window bugs
-Added statistics for road vehicles
-Now in .patch file
-Should work with OTTD r2900

Known bugs:
-Closing vehicle main window doesn't close statistics window
-Train value incorrect

I guess you have an svn checkout? So just run "svn diff > mypatch.diff".

For future reference, unified diffs (diff -u) are usually preferred.

EDIT: That is, when you're not using svn diff. svn diff is preferable when working on projects that use svn.

OK, new version uploaded. Hope anyone will try it!

divide the population by factor of ten, so the numbers are approximately in the same range.

It would be interesting to see more statistics, like:
Cargo (passengers, mail, coal, whatever) produced
Cargo accepted
% Transported

Anyway, that's great patch and I hope it will be ready soon to add to the trunk

I agree

Won't this use a whole lot of memory?

Other than that, great work. Some people can't have enough graphs with games like this.

Like me, I like playing with tons of minor and useless graphs, statistics and so on ...

great patch, I really like it.

More stats, as MeusH said, would be fantastic.

Maybe it is easy to implement:
- passengers per month and passangers
- transported per month
because these values are shown in the city information window

nice to see there's still some interest in this patch. no time for now, but I'm following C++ classes and so hopefully soon I will finish this patch.

Check OTTD IRC channel irc://irc.freenode.net/openttd and talk to developers - Wiki says Celestar is working on statistics, too, and it would be bad if your work wouldn't be used
