Transport Tool v2.7.7

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

@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.

@sleepy
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.

@CreatorOfWorlds,

Are you using the UI Resolution mod?
CreatorOfWorlds 13 Jun @ 8:44am 
Thank you for your mods. I use this and TM extensively while playing.

If I may make a suggestion, and i'm sorry if i have done this previously - then i'm sorry. I don't mean to hazzle you about it.

I also use the 'commuter destination' mod a lot.
I like you have added the destination highlighting to your mod. However for getting a good overview of the destinations and the city, then the commuter mod excels in the fact the UI is rather small compared to your UI in that situation.
If you are able and want to consider if there is a way that you could somehow change your UI to take up less screen space (perhaps somekind of minimise functionality) or change UI to something like the commuter mod including a button to get back to your normal UI window.
I hope you know what i mean.

@Rune,

The usage section is new, I added it for this change so was just trying to draw your attention to it.
Sleepy  [author] 12 Jun @ 3:32pm 
@Rune,

Sorry, wasn't meant as sarcasm. Sorry if it cam across that way.
Rune 12 Jun @ 11:00am 
Sarcasm does not bode well, for anyone.

@Rune,

Press Control when you click on a line and it will open the public transport panel as normal. I made the change so it can also show the citizen destinations as well.

It would be a good idea to read the "Usage" section above.
Rune 9 Jun @ 10:57am 
Used to be able to open it and then select the lines I created. NOW, I have to open the vehicle info thing in addition to this tool, which makes it useless to me. It was fine before the whole patching. Sad day....

@CreatorOfWorlds,

Sure no problem, if it ever happens again, try and save a copy of the output_log.txt file as the crash stack trace will be written in there and we can track down what happened.
