[Patch] timeline for powerlines

Intro/retire dates are defined for powerlines already. However, only one powerline object is used all the time. This patch enables the use of more powerline objects (for different times, different types etc).

Thanks! Yet another place where object type "monopoly" is eliminated :)

My projects... Tools for messing with Simutrans graphics. Graphic archive - templates and some other stuff for painters. Development logs for most recent information on what is going on. And of course pak128!

Yes, thanks for this, I will aim to take advantage of it in pak128.Britain at some point...

This was on my todo list for four year (since I had the japanese power lines.) With the new power line patch, different capacities might be possible too.

incorporated with revision 3276.

You (as pak authors) can differentiate between different levels of powerlines with the help of the topspeed: by default powerlines are built on top of other powerlines with lower topspeed (as it is for ways).

Does this timeline also include substations as well as the powerlines themselves?

It doesn't look that way...

I do not understand. Do you mean these transformer stations? Then the answer is no.

Yes, that is what I meant.  Is there a plan to allow a timeline for these too, or am I just being greedy now?

That would be a rather difficult undertaking. Right now, dat/pak-system-wise PowerSource/Dest are misc-objects, which means they can carry only information about names and authors, and have a continuous list of images. Any attempt to create intro/retire dates etc would mean reworking the system. The changes I committed lately were rather small changes (no heavy changes in makeobj).

OK.  I'll cope :)

I don't think it's a major priority.

The biggest problem are currently crossings between different powerlines. They are really not matching.
