1) Improved the road vehicle allocation (aka slotting) for multistop. Stops can now accept unlimited, er... 256, vehicles.
2) Removed the "wait for stop" feature, because it did not work in practise.
3) Slotting now ignores unreachable stations. Uses NPF at the moment because the old pathfinder cannot do it (yet)
4) Now matter how many vehicles approach a station, they will always be distributed evenly over existing stops.
5) Hopefully the last fundamental change to multistop
- Replace miles/kilometres game option with a general measuring units option.
- Add {POWER}, {WEIGHT}, {WEIGHT_S} and {VOLUME_S} (_S for short) tags to the language/string system.
- Add SI as option for measuring units.
Language file updates to use the system will come soon.
control-click on a unit in a train in a depot will make the click unit turn around
this is useful if you want "normal" engines to act as dualheaded (one each way) or similar
this only works on single unit units. Multiheaded and articulated engines get a red error box
this is based on a quick hack peter1138 while I made it network safe and correctly handling of multible unit engines
-Codechange: No longer hijack the VS_STOPPED flag when waiting for a slot.
-Fix: Vehicles waiting for slots can still be controlled (sent to depot, orders modified, ...)
-Fix: Vehicles no longer stop on crossings and during overtake operations
currently ALL available wagons are displayed in the right menu in the replace window
however the replacement will only be done if the new wagon can be refitted to carry same cargo as the old one is currently carrying
Since the standard vehicles do not have any valid wagon replacements, this feature can only be used when using newgrf sets
This means that any user attempt to remove a rear engine will tell the user to move the front engine instead
This fixes the assert when moving multiheaded engines (introduced in r3144)
Note: to make old savegames use this feature, some engines might be turned around in order to link engines in pairs
-Codechange: train subtype is now a bitmask
This allows fast access to info like if it is a wagon or engine and if it is in front and so on
Note: savegame version bump
-Trains will now remember the length of stations it visits and sell cars
when being autoreplaced if they became too long
-If it needs to remove cars, then it starts from the front and sells
all it can find until the train is short enough
-This only works for trains, that knows the station length of the route
so a full uninterrupted run is needed
-a train needs 1-2 runs to detect if the shortest station is expanded
-This feature can be turned on and off in the train replace window
and each company can have it's own setting
-NOTE: minor savegame version bump
-This allows a player to clone an excisting vehicle of his own
-[fix]: this uncovered an excisting bug in CmdBuildRailVehicle() where depots could build trains of the wrong track type. This is fixed
-Thanks to Celestar for drawing the sprites and _luca_ for including them in openttd.grf
