In conditional orders if you have set time to hours, what is the input on current time/date?

bernasrebelo wrote: ↑23 Jul 2022 17:08 2. Is there a way to have 2 or more different orders list in different time schedules from the same train in JGR?

This can be done with objects but as a station tile it would add to the station coverage as well as offering some interesting animation opportunities.

Code: Select all

// 08 D	Class ID
//----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
// 09 B	Stop type availability
		// 0	Passenger/bus stop
		// 1	Freight/lorry stop
		// 2	Both passenger/bus and freight/lorry stops
		// The default value is 2 (both bus and lorry stops).
//----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
// 0A W	Name
		// This should be a D8xx or DCxx string ID.
//----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
// 0B W	Class name
		// This should be a D8xx or DCxx string ID.
//----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
// 0C B	Draw mode
		// Bit	Value	Meaning
		// 0		1		Bay stops: Draw road type ground sprite
		// 1		2		Drive through stops: Draw road/tram type overlays
		// 4		4		Road waypoints: Draw sprite layout ground sprite on top of the underlying road (by default the sprite layout ground sprite is not used)
		// The default value is 3 (bits 0 and 1 both set).

wallyweb wrote: ↑05 Sep 2022 20:21 More RoadStop Questions:
I have bus stops and truck stops in separate classes.
For the drive through tiles in each x and y direction in each class I have four randomly selected variations with different furnishings.
If I build a single tile station, the randomness works as intended with a click for rerandomization until I get the desired furnishings.
For multi-tiled stations, the randomness only happens once for each new station.
After that, clicking on a drive through tile has no effect. I have to destroy and rebuild the entire station until I get the desired furnishings.
Add to this, combining a drive through bus and truck stop in one station, the first tile gets randomized, while the second tile gets the complimentary count.

Am I missing something here, or is this the intended effect?
Does the random count belong to the tile or to the entire station?

This is indeed associated with the station instead of any particular tile.

Bits 16-23 of random_bits should be random per-tile.
Not sure why the variable for that got missed out, it's present for stations and airport tiles in NML. I've added this to road stops as well as random_bits_tile.

Actually I'm not aware of that page. I work in NFO and have been referencing your roadstope document and NewGrf specifications.

Again, thanks for looking into this.

Pending your next release, I composed this document to help me analyze the problem.
Any comments are welcome.

Trying to read NFO files is too time consuming to be worth it. It is easier to debug the resulting GRF file.

JGR wrote: ↑08 Sep 2022 13:56 I'd suggest getting rid of the use of variable 5F, as that is not doing anything useful.
Set randbit to 16 (0x10) in your random switches.

Also, your road stops seem to have the ground sprite missing.
