I didn't mean it should clear all tiles, just those that get a track... then you could paste a load-balancer directly into the mainline, for example.
I wouldn't want it to clear every tile needed for terraforming, that looks too unpredictable to me, at least without preview (we wont have that for a while, I guess)...
Speaking of preview - would it be possible to copy the screen (bitmap) when copying a template ? Then storing the bitmap with the template and display it ontop of the white rectangles when pasting... that's no exact preview of course but it would give an idea of what you're going to paste I've got no idea whether ottd supports bitmap-overlays like this, and totation might be a problem here, too.
Features:
-Delayed paste in Multiplayer. Tested on Brianetta's server. Sorry for destroying some landscape
-Instant paste in Singleplayer.
Notes:
-Terrain restoration fixed.
Delayed copy&paste is implemented via a "DoCommandP queue".
Instead of executing the command instantly, it is put into the queue.
This queue is processing 1 Command every 10 "_tick_counter".
This value may need some tweaking. maybe dynamic to some frame-lag relative value? Or some network tick, instead of frame-tick?

I noticed that the gui doesn't update itself upon loading a template. You have to close it and open it again for the paste-button to be active.
What about adding a configure-patches-variable for the command-queue-speed ?
Changes:
-Twice as fast Paste in Multiplayer.
-fix copy&paste "half hill"
-fix Disabled-State of Buttons.
-fix double build of bridges/tunnels
-fix hold shift while paste
-Feature: added toolbar to scenario editor
DONE:
DONE-> paste: seperate "rebuild signals" from "rebuild rails" to have some time between rail<->signal build. Allows for much faster rebuild in multiplayer
DONE-> load: check widget disabled state on template load + unclick buttons slower
DONE-> CQ: paste side terrain: clamp to right, or up. if applicable. (paste "half hill")
DONE-> CQ: fix tunnel/bridge double build (->separate beginning and end...)
DONE-> CQ: Check needed Command amount. Don't execute, if queue has insufficient space. (Do a "testrun" and count commands used)
DONE-> CQ: fix hold shift while replay (why is shift checked within DoCommand?!?!?) (->set to false during queue exec)
TODO:
-> CQ: clear queue on abort/load game.
-> CQ: "stop paste" / "clear Queue" button?
-> Add 4 "Convert Rail buttons" all unclicked for template rail. if one is checked, convert(paste) all rail to this type.
-> Add Button: Continue on Error? (if one command fails, pasting is stopped.)
-> Tunnel end out of selection (+ Terrain is restored properly check)
-> Preview: Look into "Viewport" Code - different map array? - mini renderer?
This patch is absolutely amazing!
Thanks very much Frostregen
I attached something to sorta prove it - i knockedoff that 1.38 million population city in 15 minutes using this patch - by copying a huge patch of 2*2 road grid. When i made the 1.5 million population one (did i mention that in this topic?), it took me several days!
Unfortunately, the version of OTTD i made it in (the one from the reply abve this) doesn;tlet me take PNG screenshots - so i only attached the scenario
Frostregen, can you check if you can compile with the latest revision?
OTTDCoop NewGRF Pack|Different sets of GRFs for TTDPatch (some of them work in OTTD) - 1|- 2|GRF sets for OTTD|OTTD nightly
I hooked up my accelerator to my brake lights. I hit the gas, people behind me stop, and I'm gone.
Understeer is when you hit the wall with the front of the car. Oversteer is when you hit the wall with the rear of the car. Horsepower is how fast you hit the wall. Torque is how far you take the wall with you. Spoilers and bodykits are how much of the wall you take with you. Rollcages and windownets are how much of a mess you leave on the wall.
I think you need to make new release .
With r5082 the game crashes when I want to copy a house.

I made a special build only with this patch.
This is the error when i try to copy road+houses or industry.
Only road works fine.
edit: this is with the version in the previous post.

But I get the same error like gkirilov as well. This happens if there are trees, buildings or vehicles in the copy area.
Another bug is that the MagLev bridges were converted into railway briddges.

Oh great.
It's OK.
The circle arrows will be of course better.
Edit:
- keyboard-shortcuts (strg+c; strg+v) would be cool
- maybe a cut function (strg+x)
