Same level station cannot be replaced any more

It used to be possible to replace stations with the same level stop, but no longer is. This makes modernising stations more bothersome, as you occasionally have to remove signals from platforms to remove and replace them, and now it gives the "must replace with higher level" message, as in standard.

Rollmaterial

I think it would be better to implement force-downgrading with Ctrl+click like in Standard. That is one of the few Standard features I miss.

Thank you both for this. I have implemented Rollmaterial's suggestion, as this was quite simple to alter in the code. Now:

(1) attempting to replace a station tile with an identical type will have no effect at all (previously, an error message was displayed);
(2) attempting to replace a station tile with a lower level of station tile will have no effect if CTRL is not pressed (previously, an error message was displayed); and
(3) attempting to replace a station tile with a lower level of station tile will succeed if CTRL is pressed (previously, an error message was displayed).

I have done away with the error message entirely because it is now misleading, it is probably unnecessary, it was annoying, and the behaviour was inconsistent between stops and ways.

When I builded a stop, I often got a warining message "Upgrade must have a higher level", but now it is gone.
This is a nice change, thanks! :)
ひめしという日本人が開発者達の助言を無視して自分好みの機能をextendedに"強引に"実装し、
コードをぐちゃぐちゃにしてメンテナンスを困難にし(とりわけ道路と建物関連)、
挙句にバグを大量に埋め込み、それを知らんぷりして放置し(隠居するなどと言って)別のところに逃げ隠れて自分のフォーク(OTRP)は開発を続けている
その事実と彼の無責任さに日本人プレイヤーは目を向けるべき。らんらんはそれでやる気をなくした(´・ω・`)
他人の振り見て我が振り直せ。ひめしのようにならないために、らんらんが生み出したバグや問題は自分で修正しなくちゃね(´・ω・`)
