A handful new features
OpenTTD Devs brought a lot of new features into the trunk or in other words a lot of patchs have been added to the trunk recently. First of all I didn’t thougt its worth to blog it. But I don’t want to miss them and if you are not reading the changelog constantly you maybe didn’t even notice it.
The Group Interface:

Feature: advanced vehicle lists a.k.a. group interface. Now you can make groups of vehicles and perform all kinds of tasks on that given group. Original code by nycom and graphics by skidd13.
I still miss the rules option, but its good to have those list for organising trains.

2 new Zoom Levels

-Feature: 2 new zoom-out levels: 8 times and 16 times
This gives us a better overview over the maps and is also interesting for doing screenshots.
Maybe users with less cpu speed can’t use this feature properly (imagine 800 trains+)
Adjacent Stations

-Feature: Allow building new stations adjacent to existing stations by holding down control. Based on a patch by Wolf01.
Another funky feature and the station-walk-trick is gone!

The Devs did a great job those days, and another -yay- for skidd13 and Wolf01 the patch coders.
I’m still trying to figure out how to actually use the new zoom-out levels. The zoom-out button is disabled after zooming to the regular max-zoom-out level.
wow… those features can be good for the gameplay 🙂
i like the Group Interface feature ^-^
