This is a feature request for Ranran. You have made many improvements to the UI in recent months. Thank you! I guess you are very familiar with the UI code now. I wonder if this UI idea interests you. Of course, it is 100% your choice If you just want to play Simutrans instead, you should enjoy that!
Simutrans-Extended has a Line Window, but the list of lines is not sortable. It would be nice to also have a Line List, with a similar design to the Depot List and Vehicle Type List that you have added. It would not replace the Line Window, but it would be a new List.
Suggested categories for sorting:
- Name (alphabet/漢字)
- Revenue
- Maintenance
- Profit (revenue - maintenance)
- Mean age of vehicles
- Oldest vehicle in line or convoy with oldest average age (just some way to identify lines with old convoys)
- Sum of value of all vehicles in line (because it is necessary for....)
- Return on assets (profit ÷ sum of value of all vehicles)
I think filters for
waytype would be essential. It would be desirable to have filters for lines with(out)
obsolete vehicles, with(out)
stuck convoys, and lines that carried no goods.
I know that Standard has a Line Window with sortable lines. But the Extended Line Window has developed in a different direction, so maybe the Standard Line Window will never be ported. And I think it is easier for you to make a new List since you are familiar with that code.
Just a suggestion that may give you some inspiration.....
Or maybe you are supposed to be writing a PhD, I think....? :::) If so, you should probably write that instead..... :P
