Improved Public Transport 2

Description
Also known as IPT2. Provides improved control of public transportation.


Compatible with More Vehicles, TM:PE, Vehicle Selector!

YOU MUST DELETE ANY OTHER VERSIONS OF THIS MOD AND RESTART THE GAME BEFORE USING THIS!

This is a fixed version of the original IPT which was abandoned by its author. That original version hasn't been deleted from workshop, so please make sure it's not present locally.

Features:
- Add or remove vehicles to the transport line or enable automatic budget control (like in vanilla).
- Control the types (custom vehicle assets) of vehicles on your transport line.
- Configure interval, enable or disable umbunching per line. Please not that unbunching is a vanilla feature and this mod only configures it!
- Vehicle Editor for public transport vehicles, change the capacity, maintenance cost and maximum speed.
- Stop Info Panel which shows stop related informations (like waiting Cims) and also allows you to name your stops.

This mod is NOT compatible with:
- original IPT (r3.x.x) (for obvious reason)
- Improved Public Transport 2 [1.15.0-f7 FIX]
- original TM:PE and older versions of TM and Traffic++
- TLM (all versions, or anything based on it) (overrides same vanilla game code)
- Vehicle Unbuncher (part of vanilla game now)
- Larger Footprints (deprecated - causes depot not found problem)
- Automatic Vehicle Numbers Adjuster (overrides same vanilla game)

Should be compatible with the rest of the mods.

I still have to update UI elements locations, but main functionality should work.

The mod uses Harmony.

Credits:
- DontCryJustDie (the original author)
- algernon/Chameleon (used the code of Vehicle Selector for the new VehicleSelection UI)

Latest updates:
RELEASE 7.0.0

- Fixed for the latest game vesion
- New Vehicle Selection UI (based on Vehicle Selector)
- Fixed a bunch of UI misalignment
- Fully switched to Harmony for better compatibility with other mods
- Made more compatible with Better Train Boarding
- Added vehicle sprite to Vehicle Editor
- Prevented some exceptions

RELEASE 7.0.1

- Vehicle info panel will now be open on vehicle button click
- Rearranged line panel UI elements to avoid clashes
- Vehicle or stop info panel won't be open on click if Alt is held

RELEASE 7.0.2

- Added Japanese translation (provided by shg166)
- Added numerical suffixes to vanilla vehicle names
- Removed planes from blimp & helicopter vehicle selection

Make sure you've unsubbed the unofficial fix before using!

You can make sure that this version is used if the mod's name contains r7.0.0 in the Content Manager. And of course don't forget to enable the mod there ;)

Note: if you feel that unbunching doesn't work as expected, go to mods options and check aggression setting. 52 equals to vanilla aggression. Other than allowing to enable/disable unbunching and setting aggression setting, this mod doesn't deal with unbunching. If you have issues with unbunching, ask Colossal Order how to fix them.

The mod buses I downloaded aren't spawning; those damn lousy vanilla buses are spawning instead. It's driving me crazy.

If anything, if you got problems with Improved Public Transport Essentials, go report them at IPTE's side. We can very easily see the guy at IPTE really cares, while the guy at IPT3 simply disappears and doesn't show up to answer even a single question over the course of these past 1 to 2 months. And some of my comments there were removed as well.

On top of the fishy clone-forking, you gotta ask yourself, do you feel confident with the way IPT3 is managing itself, with radio silence and what not?

@Vectorial1024 Thank you! the essentials works for me but still having an issue with my train lines saying they are disconnected, resulting in the trains disappearing before they make a full loop. At least this is a temporary fix to at least play the game again.

Consider moving over to Improved Public Transport Essentials (IPTE), which is a stable and simple continuation of IPT2:

By *not* "clone-integrating" mods, everyone gets their appropriately deserved credits, and it's much easier to check which mod / feature is not working in case something goes wrong.

@hydrid is right, without IPT2 or 3 we need a fix quick. I havent been able to play my game properly for months. The game is a lot different (and less fun) without the ability to stop trains from unbunching as see how many cims are waiting at each stop. Hope fully bloddypenguin or the devs step in to fix this mod, IPT3 is too problematic and overly complex. :steamsad::steamfacepalm::steamsalty:

is anyone having an issue where the 'car trips saved' is persistently 0% after enabling this mod?

Use Improved public Transport 3 guys, this mod is out-dated. The new one works like a charm, it's almost no different to this one.

I resubscribed it and it doesn't show on my Content Manager page. What should I do
Apr 3 @ 1:05am 
Well, I think we need a fixed version of IPT2 rather than the IPT3 that has integrated many unnecessary mods.:steamsad:
