OpenTTD Development • Re: JGR's Patch Pack

Hey JGR,

[del]since the last update,[/del ] I only noticed the “dispatch slot” issue when loading an older save game. It seems to have been missing for quite some time. I would still like to have it back. Otherwise, I would have to make a lot of adjustments to all my old games. I miss the option to select “Dispatch Slot” for train orders. Selecting “Dispatch Slot” helps me send trains to the depot for cleaning after one day of circulation.

This condition is only shown for order lists which actually have dispatch schedules.

I think the “Timetabel state” is very good. Is it possible to set the maximum speed of the train here? For example, reduce the current maximum speed by 10% or 20% (also observe speed limits indicated by signals).

No, this is a conditional order type, you can set a speed limit for orders in the timetable window.

Is it possible to create a +1 day option here? If I select a time => 2329, and a vehicle arrives (due to a delay) at 0012, then this rule no longer applies. Changes at the end of the day (freight trains often run overnight and can then use passenger routes) cause difficulties. It would be sufficient to be able to set a range between two times (=> <= 2329 - 0300). Screenshot 2026-02-27 085306.png

You can just use two conditional orders for this.

Is there a chance for my second patch "progsignals_use_lateness_counter" to be reviewed or integrated? I still miss this feature. But if “Timetable state” were to include signal-dependent speed reduction, that would also be sufficient.

If I get time I can look into finishing this, though I remain unconvinced that this is really a good approach. That said, if the timetable state conditional order is sufficient, then you can just use that and a speed reduction in the timetable without needing any new features, and this sounds like it would make more sense with what you are trying to do anyway.
