train schedule editor

Post by TheUnknown007 »

I would like to have a complete schedule editor for train schedules. This includes:
-1] add a new train stop (already implemented)
0] delete a train stop (already implemented)
1] edit a train stop (keep the same leave conditions, but change the stop they apply to) (use case: change outpost train to another outpost with same kind of station)
2] copy-paste train stops, preferably also between different trains (copy stop and all leave conditions, and paste it somewhere else in the schedule / in the schedule of another train) (use case: quickly copy (parts) of a schedule to a train that already has another schedule)
3] drag and drop train stops (change the location within the schedule) (use case: change train stop order. I need to do this particularly when I forget to set the correct place in the schedule)
(4)] add station by choosing on (mini-)map instead of by name. (use case: I dunno, some people might find this easier than searching by name. And sometimes I forget to change the name of the train stop and it will be some backers name)

And some editing options for the leave conditions, copy-paste and drag and drop. Use case: I set all my trains to not leave when the train stop has a red signal (internal error detection in station logic). This means that I have to add that as an AND to every single term ( = set of conditions connected with AND) of leave conditions, which is annoying and a lot of unnecessary work.

Note: list is sorted on desirability (lower number = considered more desirable by me). The leave conditions copy pasting and drag and drop falls under 2 and 3 in the list.
