I can't understand what some of flags do. "filter-directions" - ??? (as example)

If I set flag "not-on-map" to the entity (train stop) that has "null graphics" (empty png) - it's on the map (and minimap) anyway.
Also when I set friendly_map_color = {r=1, g=1, b=0} to the same entity - it doesn't change it's colour on the map.
WAIDW? I want my visible entity to be labeled on the map with text and the special colour.

friendly_map_color? did you mean map_color?

Train stops are hard coded in relation to what they show on minimap etc. I don't think there's a way round that.

The filter-directions flag limits rotation during placement to some internal hard-coded criteria as far as I can tell. Offshore pumps and train stops / signals being good examples.
