[bug r3009] Convoi frozen on changing schedule w. destination removed from line

January 07, 2010, 02:44:18 am

In rev. 3009 (was there already in 3008) after changing the schedule of a line, the convoys that were heading towards destinations removed from the line schedule get stuck in Schedule changing mode, i.e., the yellow pop-up "Changing schedule" shows overhead, and clicking the Schedule button in the convoy info yields an error dialogue stating that the schedule is changing - furthermore the Send to depot button does not work, this might be a side effect of the Changing schedule mode though. Convoys that are not heading towards a deleted destination continue to work as expected. I have left the game running a two full game months since changing the schedule and the convoys still stand still. Re-adding the removed destination does not work. There is no related error output on terminal.

Saving and reloading the game frees the frozen convoys, thus I have not attached the save game - to reproduce build a mini-network consisting of three stops, create a line and buy two convoys to service it, send the first convoy to the first stop and the second to the second stop, while first convoy is in route to first stop, edit the line schedule and remove the first stop from it. The first convoy will freeze in position, while the second convoy will happily continue to the second stop.

Built rev 3009 with gcc (Debian 4.3.4-6) 4.3.4 on debian/squeeze.

EDIT:Weirder and weirder... Saving and reloading did unfreeze my train, but it now both does and does not service the line in question... Time for a screen shot and a save game I think...

EDIT 2: Sending the convoy to a depot and re****igning it to the line worked; but it was impossible to re****ign it to the line while running the schedule, and creating a new line out of its existing schedule caused the freeze to re-emerge.

had similar problem with roadvehicles and planes playing nightly for mac intel
retasking them to new lines og editing schedules when conserning the next stop for that vehicle will freeze in "changing schedule" mode...
in r3007 all i could do was delete when since nothing worked. in r3025 I have to save, quit the game restart it and then it takes 3-4 sec before it gets moving

wierd....
