This should not be a big slowdown as it's only called each time the list is generated and will normally be much faster than the list generation itself (only a small % of the total number of vehicles is in the depot)
Example: make a train transport iron ore from A to B, then it visits a depot and refits to steel
It then transport steel back to A or near A if there is a factory and then it visits another depot to refit to iron ore again
This is controlled in the orders. If a goto depot order is lightlighted, then "Unload" changes to "Refit"
Control click "Refit" removes the refit part of the order (as the tooltip says)
The player will still pay the normal refit costs
Known issues:
If a vehicle is not in a depot, then the refit window will fail to tell refitted cargo capacity
Refit costs in the refit window can sometimes print 0 when it should not because the refit calculation is unaware that the vehicle will be refitted in between
Warning: autoreplace got a protection against replacing something so you get a new cargo type, but it can fail here. In the iron ore/steel example, it can see that
the vehicle carries iron ore and the new one can be refitted to iron ore, then it will replace. It will not check to see that it's valid for steel as well.
This is something to look into in the future
This is a request from translators as depot is not valid for all vehicle types in all translations
This will cause a lot of warnings when generating the lang files. MiHaMiX will fix them in a moment (hopefully)
It got one known issue though. The top bar got a plural issue so expect to see stuff like "1 trains" until we figure out why it behaves this way
Added the button to the depot windows. Made the autoreplace button bigger while I was moving some widgets anyway
Made road vehicle depot windows start with one more row to make room for the buttons
This will prevent some reallocations when sorting vehicle list windows
It also prevents moving the whole array into a new one each time the list is generated/updated (it used to make the list in one array and then move it into another one each time)
Also ensured that neither GenerateVehicleSortList() or BuildDepotVehicleList() will never allocate lists longer than the total number of vehicles in the game
It made no sense to maintain 8 nearly identically arrays when a single one can do the job
Also made the two buttons always use half of the bottom width each, even when resizing
To do this, the player struct contains an array, that contains the count of each engine type that the player owns
Those arrays are updated each time a vehicle is build or deleted and is calculated on load (it's not saved)
It's possible to access the arrays outside of the autoreplace GUI, so feel free to read from them in other patches as well
-Codechange: Initialize sorting-type on WE_CREATE instead of checking every time.
-Codechange: Update custom vehiclelist_d with standard list_d struct, more static
-Codechange: unified the code for mass goto depot to avoid duplicated code
-Fix: Vehicles already on the way to depots will not be cancelled by mass goto depot (made it really hard to send all vehicles at once)
