How many tiles does this need?

[MeusH]

Shooshpanchick's idea worked, thank you.

Now, I'm very confused with String_IDs.

I'd like to use string but seems String_ID is required to draw a tooltip.
Take a look at this line:

Code: Select all

WP(w,tooltips_d).string_id = string_id;

It draws a tooltip with set string_id which is processed against language test, resulting different hints in different languages.

Is there other WP(w,tooltips_d)'s property than string_id?

Good news: I'm making good progress Image and diff really soon.


Now, absolute[0] x and y are displayed instead of relative[1] TileX and TileY[2].

[0] - Count from tile(0,0)
[1] - Count from selection start
[2] - TILE_SIZE=16; TileX = x/TILE_SIZE

[MeusH]

Features: Relative values work, result is tile difference +1

Need to be fixed: Showing length (only x or only y) doesn't work

Future: Showing maximum height difference in the selected area (Bjarni)

Very good job you've done there, MeusH!
I just can't wait to get home and try this

[Darkvater]

<?
$str = 'Text' .$int. 'Other text' .$int2;
?>
[/code]
(Yes i do how to program in PHP rather than in C !!)

I'd say you guys can't program PHP. It is actually:

Code: Select all

<? $str = "Text $int Other text $int2"; ?>

On the other hand, sometimes your method won't work.

Code: Select all

<? $file = $_GET['number'] . '.txt'; ?>

^ adding strings

Here you have some more pics

you may also show the cost, so you haven't to use the shift to know how you spend

Your patch should definitely be in next integrated nightly :)

Today I have the same idea

That's great!

How far is the patch coming?

How far is the patch coming?

I'm experiencing big problems with measuring height difference
Why

Code: Select all

int heightdiff;
heightdiff = TileHeight(TileVirtXY(10, 10)) - TileHeight(TileVirtXY(5,5));

is heightdiff always 0, even if there are different heights on tile 5,5 and 10,10?

Uhm, I was thinking of using the function 'drag&drop' which is used when you place a station or something like that? That function also has to count how many tiles it needs or else your station is bigger than you want it to! So with this, you can easily make the image ( or yours ) in the starting-post

I could also be very wrong in using this function, just let me know

I'm using more global function, which is being called by all dragging buttons

What? (or mine)?

Hehe, anyway, I've made a good progress:

Code: Select all

FindLandscapeHeight(&start_ti, sx, sy);
FindLandscapeHeight(&end_ti, x, y);

heightdiff = (end_ti.z * 50 / 8) - (start_ti.z * 50 / 8);

TileIndex.z was a proper tile height. Take a look at the attached screenies

Here is the diff
It is still against r3163 because there are some linking problems due to newstation support and new files to the trunk

Add station_newgrf.h and station_newgrf.c in your project.
I'm using MSV6, and it compiled without problems

[MeusH]

I've downloaded .dsw and .dsp from the trunk but seems something doesn't work.

Anyway, there are some things to do:
* must
+ nice to have to

* Show the tooltip after pressing some key. It can't be ctrl, because diagonal selection uses it. It may be alt or shift

* Make it work with tunnels

* Show height difference for bridges, too

+ Show query cost

+ Move the tooltip so it won't be behind huge cursor (like rail cursor)

+ {} (new line sign) working in tooltip

[belugas]

You can try this diff. It is from the project I have updated.
There are some stuff I don't know where the do come from, but I can compile with it, no prob...

[MeusH]

I've managed to make it working with tunnels. However, it shows length of docks (2), too.

I'll duplicate the toolkit showing function so I can move my toolkit away from the mouse cursor, then go to rail (tracks+signals) and hotkey check.
