In the documentation of the 111.0 release, there is mentionned a streetlist_xx.txt, which will be used for stop names.
Now either in core text section nor in the pakfile, this file is included.
Could someone explain, how that works and where to store this file, when done? I couldn't find an information...
Additional question belonging to the tools for block reservation/owner of waytypes: How do you use this tool (Keyboard?)
Any name appearing in this list will take priority over any other game created halt names.
Ok, and this list is stored in game or pakset folder?
pakset I think. For an example - pak128.Britain uses it.
So, I will have a look at it to see how it works...thanks to both!
So, ... I would like to know how is determined street. Is it from crossing to crossing (with else road)?
It isn't - a random entry from the text file is chosen for every stop.

It is surely good - but I think that this would be a little improved - that this priority would be ignored if name of stop should be based on touristic attraction.
It's ok for me, because the names of the 'attraction stops' are only as good as the language file.
And some creative names for attractions are pain, when you read them in station names.
(I remember a time, when some attractions had wrong line-breaks, and then the whole text appeared in the station name)

For example? I would like to know few such ones.
But else, I think that the most painful is missing double-break between name of attraction and its description. When this is right, I hope that it would not be so bad.
Oh, there are some:
Edinburgh, Capitolium5000
Prague, Sushi Hospital
Berlin, Medieval town hall
London, Church1
Paris, This radio station is one of the most popular.....
Madrid, Secession Chapel
(and so on, and so on....real station names are nicer)
Now I'm wondering if I want to use this for pak48.Excentrique.
