Title: v102 - Rivers are deleted when you remove a canal that was built on top of it
Post by: valten on March 08, 2009, 06:35:34 pm
To reproduce :
build a canal that follows a river, then remove the canal with the "remove channel" tool of the 'harbour tools" palette -> the river disappears

Expected behavior :
the canal should be removed but not the river

version:
102Nightly is written on top of the window, i downloaded from sourceforge


Thanks to the simutrans developers btw !!! you guys rock !

This is not a bug, it's a feature ;)

Rivers are implemented as some sort of natural canal. If you build a canal on top of a river, it is more like an upgrade of an existing canal.

It could still do with fixing, though. Perhaps a waterway could have a "river" flag that, if set to true, would prevent it being deleted by anyone other than public player?

If I would set the owner to public play instead inowned, nobody could modify the river anymore. That is extremly easy to do.
