Messages in underground mode ignore the z coordinate

[Yona-TYT]

I don't know if this was implemented, but the messages in the underground mode don't point to the correct address because they don't use the z coordinate (height), would it be possible to implement this?.

 It actually tends to confuse users when building a tunnel underground, look at the picture:

This is a missing feature of this message box window (and thus inherited by scripting api). Should be doable.

This turns out to produce a lot of work in completely unrelated parts of the code, which still use 2d coordinates only (ticker, speed records).

Also what should happen if one clicks such a message? Should display change to underground mode automatically?

Well, the behavior should be similar to when following a vehicle entering a tunnel, this activates the "Sliced map view".

Do you think it would be a good idea to change everything to 3d coordinates? Would this have implications in general performance?.

I will work on this. It will have no impact at all, I guess. A lot of code needs to be updated (inclusive savegame compatibility code).

Wow, you have changed many coordinates to 3d!.

It works great, thanks for your great work!.


There is a small visual error in the preview, apparently it happens on the slopes, look at the image:
