This is a collection of patches applied to OpenTTD

This patchpack contains the following

• Routing restrictions: thread
  This is developed in the tracerestrict branch.
  A version of this feature rebased onto Cirdan's new map features branch is in the tracerestrict-cirdan branch, see this thread
  As of v0.9.0, add a conditional to test which company owns the train.

  As of v0.8.0, fix the remove and copy program buttons.

• Upgrade airports: imported

• Vehicle group info: imported

• Zoning: imported
  This is modified to remove unimplemented modes, implement station ownership checks and implement station facility checks for industries.
  As of v0.6.0, add a mode to show restricted signals.
  As of v0.7.1, fix adding/removing station tiles not redrawing affected surrounding tiles when in the station catchment or unserved building/industry modes.

• Departure boards: imported

  • Fixed departure boards with orders with timetabled 0 travel times, e.g. those with depot service orders.
  • Fixed memory leak.
  • Made modifications to work with day length greater than 1.
  • As of v0.7.0, fixed a multiplayer desync caused by the timetable rounding depending on the client time display mode setting.
  • As of v0.8.1, fixed crash when a station is deleted with its departure boards window open.

• Town cargo generation factor: imported

• Vehicles visible in tunnels (transparency setting): imported

• Signals in tunnels and on bridges: imported
  As of v0.7.1, fix various issues involving redrawing, updating of adjacent signals, and vehicles emitting smoke whilst stopped at a red signal.

• Measurement tools: imported

• 255 GRFs in single player mode: imported

• Improved breakdowns: imported
  Fixed minor bugs involving breakdown smoke.
  As of v0.5.3 and v0.9.0, fix multiplayer desync issues.

• Timetabling waiting time in depots: imported

• Picking and placing single houses in scenario editor: imported
  As of v0.5.0, allow only one instance of house picker window.

• Smallmap screenshots: imported
  This is modified to use an extra button in the smallmap window, instead of a console command, and use the current zoom level and display mode of the smallmap window.

• Automated timetables and separation: imported

  • Auto timetabling: Bias timetable adjustment to favour negative adjustments; this is to avoid positive feedback between congestion delays and increased timetable length. Reduce jam detection threshold.
  • Auto separation: Fix handling of non-station orders (e.g. waypoints and depots). Add setting to scale vehicle lateness adjustments. No longer set vehicle lateness to 0 if separation fails, instead leave it as it was.
  • Timetable GUI: Allow clearing of timetable time fields which are at 0. Allow explicitly setting timetable time fields to 0 without clearing them.
  • Add a company setting to enable automatic timetabling for new vehicles (added in v0.4.0).
  • As of v0.7.0, the setting to scale vehicle lateness adjustments is a company setting. As of v0.7.1 the default value has been changed to 40%.

• Vehicle repair cost: imported

• Enhanced viewport: imported
  Fixed crash when looking at aqueducts in viewport map mode.
  As of v0.7.1 to v0.8.1, fix flicker and render errors of bridge/tunnels in viewport map mode, and rendering/clearing errors of vehicle route lines.
  As of v0.8.0, fix companies with a green colour scheme appearing as flashing yellow in viewport map owner mode.

• Infrastructure sharing: imported
  Fixed various issues with additions to the settings GUI.

• Rating in town label: imported
  Fixed small labels using wrong colour.

  • Minor tweak to timetable lateness calculation.
  • Fixed dates/times in timetable window.
  • As of v0.3.0, time in minutes is no longer scaled by the day length factor.
  • As of v0.5.0, cargodest link graph timeout and compression intervals are scaled by the day length factor.
  • As of v0.5.0, fix status bar date when time in minutes and show date with time are both on.

• Order occupancy
  Add column to orders GUI to show occupancy running average.
  As of v0.7.0, the smoothness setting is company setting.

• Servicing
  Send vehicles which need auto-renewing due to age for servicing, even if breakdowns are off and no servicing if no breakdowns is on.

• Everest tree-line: imported (added in v0.2.0)

  • Remove "no trees on this level" setting.
  • Add on/off setting (default off).
  • Add to settings GUI, add strings, help texts, etc.
  • Change algorithm to make tree line and border of mixed forest zone less abrupt.

• Enable building rivers in game (added in v0.3.0)
  This is controlled by a setting (off by default).

• More conditional orders: imported (added in v0.3.0)
  As of v0.5.0, fix selecting/editing conditional orders in non-train orders window.

• Include the train length and group name in the vehicle details window (added in v0.3.0)
  This are each controlled by a setting (on by default).

• Pause the game when cargo dest link graph jobs lag (added in v0.4.0)
  Previously if a cargo dest link graph update job took longer than permitted, the game would block until it completed, preventing all user interaction.
  This patch instead pauses the game until the job is completed. (This does not apply to network clients, which cannot pause/unpause the game).

• Build and refit: imported (added in v0.5.0)
  This has been modified to change the UI, and make it multiplayer safe.

• Pause on savegame load if ctrl key is pressed. (added in v0.6.0)

• Reverse at waypoint orders (added in v0.7.0)

• Show a company-coloured mark next to vehicles in vehicle list windows, if their owner does not match list owner (imported: by McZapkie) (added in v0.8.0)

• Save/load and savegame format changes

  • Various changes to improve handling of savegames which use features not in trunk.
  • Savegames from this patchpack are not loadable in trunk.
  • Savegames from trunk up to the last savegame version which has been merged into this branch (jgrpp) should be loadable in this patchpack.
  • Savegames from other branches which use the save/load code in the save_ext branch (usually suffixed: -sx) which are also merged into this branch (jgrpp), or where the added feature is marked as discardable/ignorable, should be loadable in this patchpack.
  • Savegames from other patched versions are not loadable in this patchpack except for savegames from the tracerestrict branch (routing restrictions patch), and as of v0.3.0 savegames from the Spring 2013 Patch Pack v2.0, v2.1, v2.2 (subject to caveats, see below).

• Changes to the crash log (added in v0.5.0)
  Enable stack traces on MinGW, try to demangle C++ symbol names, try to use libbfd for better symbol lookup, handle SIGSEGV while backtracing.

• Miscellaneous

  • Label threads with a descriptive name on supported Unixy platforms. (added in v0.8.1)

• Translations

  • German (by Auge): including vehicle group info, vehicle details window, the zoning toolbar, and settings for improved breakdowns and adjacent level crossings.

Caveats for loading savegames from the Spring 2013 Patch Pack:

• This is not guaranteed to be bug free
• Savegames with huge airports are rejected
• Map sizes greater than 16k x 16k are rejected
• PAX signals/stations and traffic lights are cleared, leaving ordinary signals/stations/roads
• Rail ageing/grass on tracks, trip histories, leave order/wait for cargo, auto advertising campaigns, base cost multipliers and other features not in this patch pack are dropped/ignored.
• SpringPP v2.0.102/103 only:
  • Savegames which have aircraft approaching, landing, taking off or landed at an oil rig are rejected
  • The inflation cost multiplier is adjusted on load

A note on branches

Many features have two branches, the feature branches are just the raw features, without any modified savegame code.
There are not generally savegame compatible with anything else, except for loading of trunk savegame versions at or before the point where the branch diverged from trunk.
All other load attempts may result in undefined behaviour.
The feature-sx branches use the savegame framework in the save_ext branch.
