[patch] Departure boards + clock REWRITE r27912 (updated 2017-09-06)
Posted: 18 Sep 2016 20:42
I've written an alternative version of the departure boards and 24h clock patch. It solves a couple of outstanding issues in the original patch, changes the GUI slightly to my taste, and greatly simplifies the settings added. It does not break savegame compatibility. Please let me know what you think!

Latest diff
Settings
- Interface > Show arrival and departure station lists using a larger font
When enabled, the list of stations called at will be shown using the game's normal font, instead of a smaller font. - Interface > Use 24-hour clock for timetables
When enabled, a 24-hour clock will be shown instead of dates in vehicle timetable windows, alongside the date in the status bar, and instead of dates in departures and arrivals windows.
- Departures and arrivals are now shown in separate windows
- Vehicle, group, and company name can now be toggled using buttons in the departures and arrivals windows
- Vehicle icons are always shown in silver in departures and arrivals windows
- The button to toggle road vehicles in departures and arrivals windows has been split into passenger and freight road vehicle buttons.
- Vehicle, group, and company names are displayed in different colors to the scheduled date/time and destination, when enabled.
- Departures and arrivals windows will automatically resize themselves if necessary whenever a station name is changed, the 24-hour clock setting is toggled, etc.
- Scrolling using a mouse wheel now works in departures and arrivals windows (spotted by Patagonicus)
- When a vehicle's destination will be reached earlier by a later departure, it will not be shown as the destination of the earlier departure - the last station that cannot be reached earlier by a later departure will be shown instead. This now works for ring services (spotted by Koelschlenny)
- The company color of the station's owner is used in the title bar
- 1 minute is fixed in length at 1 day. This allows the patch to be savegame compatible.
- Conditional orders are not handled. If a vehicle's timetable contains a conditional order, departures will not be calculated beyond it.
- The furthest into the future that departures will be shown for is 1 years (or 6 hours and 6 minutes, if using the 24-hour clock.) This can be increased by editing days_of_departures in departures_gui.cpp.
