Transport Tool v2.8.0

Description

Take control of your public transport.

This mod makes it easy to find busy public transport lines, without having to open each line individually and then scroll through the stop list looking for busy stops.

Features
  • Public Transport overview statistics
  • Columns are sortable so you can quickly find the lines with lots of waiting people
  • Highlights the line on the map that corresponds to the line under the mouse
  • Clicking on a line will cycle through the lines stops
  • Highlights the destination buildings for the waiting passengers. This is now a built in feature of the mod.
  • Adds an Orange Bus button to the Line Details panel to allow re-opening the Transport Tool panel easily
  • Supports cable car line information, which the base game doesn't.
  • Automatic detection of public transport line issues

This mod is not a replacement for Transport Lines Manager or Improved Public Transport 2. It is a tool to help you detect problems and improve the efficiency of your transport network, If you want unbunching or changing ticket prices or the ability to choose multiple vehicle types then you should try one of the above mods. This mod is compatible with both.

Main Panel Displays
  • Stops
  • Vehicles
  • Current Passengers
  • Total Capacity
  • Total number of waiting passengers
  • Number of people at the busiest stop
  • Number of people that are about to give up waiting (Bored)

Live tooltips
Most columns of the main panel now show live tooltips
Number of stops to show can be controlled in settings
Tooltip font is now fixed width and its size can be altered in the settings

Detection of Line Issues
Transport Tool now monitors your public transport lines and will warn when issues are found, including:
  • Detects and warns if transport line vehicles despawn (requires Harmony)
  • Detects and warns if transport line vehicles stop moving or are stuck in congestion
  • Detects if transport line stops have issues.
  • Detects and warns if bored count gets beyond a specified threshold.
Clicking on the warning will open the Line Issues panel and take you to the location

Usage
To open the panel, click on the orange bus icon on the main toolbar (toolbar at the bottom of the screen) or in the Unified UI toolbar if you use that or press CTRL+I (configurable)
Main Panel
  • Click - on the line will show the busiest stop for that line.
  • Control + Click - on the line will open the transport line world info panel for the line
  • Shift + Click - on the line will open the transport line world info panel and keep the Transport Tool panel open. While the transport line panel is visible further clicks on lines will also update the transport line panel.
Issue Panel
  • Click - on the line will show the line issue and set it as the selection tool target (blue follow me symbol)
  • Control + Click - on the line will also open the appropriate panel for the issue, whether that is a line issue or a vehicle issue.
Destination Highlighting
While a stop is active the destinations for the waiting passengers will be highlighted. To activate destination highlighting, click a line on the main panel. The panel will then activate the busiest stop for that line and move the camera to it. An information box beside the panel will indicate the current active line and stop. Repeated clicks on the active line will cycle through the remaining stops for that line.

Destination Building Colors
  • Yellow = 1 citizen
  • Orange = Up to 5 citizens
  • Red = Up to 10 citizens
  • Magenta = Over 10 citizens

Sounds great. Thank you for doing this.

@CreatorOfWorlds,

I tested Commuter Destination and Transport Tool at the same time and both were highlighting the same buildings for the same stops so I don't think there is any issue between the 2 mods.

I am using a completely different renderer than that mod so I don't see how they can conflict as it doesn't require any harmony hooks or anything to display the destinations. Just a renderer to highlight the buildings.

I'll have a bit of a go at making a minimal navigation UI for Transport Tool for you so hopefully you wont need to run both in the future.

@ CreatorOfWorlds,

Anything is possible, I suppose. I'll run it later and see if I see issues.

Is it possible that the coding of this mod prevents the commuter mod from showing the destinations that it used to?
Sleepy  [author] 29 Jun @ 9:08pm 
@CreatorOfWorlds,

This mod and "Commuter Destination" now have no interaction with each other. Clicking Prev Next on that mod will only change the display for that mod.

To step through the stops in TT, just click the same line repeatedly.

To add to the below, i just thought of the fact, when i say step through the transport line stops, and destiantions doesnt seem to update, is when i use the previous/next ui buttons from the commuter destination mod. which is proberbly why this mods destinations illustration is not updated on the change.

A couple of comments.

Is it possible that the destionation illustration is bugged. It seems like it's showing the destionation for the transport line regardsless of the chosen stop. In other words, if i step forward one stop, it seems the same destinations are still shown without any change. Or is this perhaps the intended functionality?

One other thing, I seem to have the issue that the 'commuter destination' illustrations of destinations that have worked previously, is no longer working. Could it be because of an update to this mod?
CreatorOfWorlds 17 Jun @ 11:00am 
Small request. No biggy, but would be nice.
It seems that sorting of transport lines is text based so that Line 10 is sorted before Line 2.
It would be nice if the sorting would take into account the number part. So that 10 comes after 2.

@CreatorOfWorlds,

Its an interesting idea, I will have a bit of a look and see if I can come up with a design I am happy with.

At the moment yes. It does help to scale the ui.
The issue i have with that mod, and the reason i might not continue with it, is that it makes some older mod icons on the road toolbar inaccessible.
