There isn't one. There needs to be one.

Also, long format introduction dates for town buildings would be good.

Taken into consideration I guess it would not be too hard...


BY the way, what about introduction date for industries, like in houses?
Would it be interesting?

Yes, it would make things complete; for stations as well. ATM, we cannot introduce anything new, except vehicles, at a particular time before 1920; i.e. if a game starts prior to 1920, then e.g. any new houses/industries/stations would be available from start of game and not when we want them.

There is already introduction date control for industries; Callback 28 (Industry location permissibility) used in conjunction with a date-checking var 2.

Right...
I forgot that callback as been a possibility...
I was more thinking along a new property of the action 00.
Which reminds me : PikkaBird i was working on callback 28 this weekend, but it didn't seemed to be triggered in any of your industry sets (old and new). Is it just me or is it something that you do not us?

It's just you. All the secondary industries and a few primary industries (diamond mine, water supply and plantations in tropic; forest in arctic) in PBI use callback 28. I don't think I used it in the old UKRSI though.

Also, per discussion with peter1138 in irc: age-based variables and properties will need to be updated to make sure they work with pre-1920 intro dates. This includes vehicle var C0 (age in days), house var 41 (age in years), and house prop 1F (minimum life span). Variables which contain a date, such as vehicle var C4 (year built) and industry var B0 (date built) will need new long-format equivalents.

Pre-Alpha bug
Although, i've only tested the UKRSI extensively, and just once the PBI

Yeah! Up the sleeves and coding time !

Hehe, you caught me mid-edit, I've expanded a little. But for me, bedtime, so good luck.

It has been almost a year. I think I am justfied a bump.

Call it variable 21, has a nice ring to it. Cached var 49 for train year built, perhaps?

Pretty please?

Totally, absolutely, completely forgot about it...

Very very sorry...
I'll try to catch up
