Gate Information Display

Description
You can assign any Display to any Gate using the standard ingame assignment function (like you assign Gate Agent Desks to Gates, you will find the Assignment button when you select the Display).* You can assign any number of Gates to your Display.** If you assign more than one Gate, the display shows random information from one of the assigned gates. If you assign no Gate at all, the Gate Information Display only shows the current time of the game day, the Flight Information display shows a flight plan of your entire airport. There is no requirement on where the Display is located, or on which floor. You just have to assign the Display to the Gate.

This is a Script mod. Make sure to enable the mod in Mod Settings if your display stays completely empty after unpausing.

Thanks to modair and chick10000 for your help setting up the objects and for contributing the bare objects. You're awesome!

* Due to a limit in the game's modding engine, it's currently not possible to assign a Gate to a Display, but only the other way around: You can only assign a Display to a Gate. After assigning, the assignment lines are visible in both directions, though. It's just that you can't assign it via the Gate's menu. Please use the Display's Assignment menu for the time being.

** Due to a limit in the game's modding engine, the game will currently LOSE ASSIGNMENTS when this mod is TURNED OFF during LOAD or SAVE AIRPORT operations. Make sure the mod is running before load and save.***

*** If you encounter the mod getting automatically shut off, this is most probably due to an error. I will need your log files after this happened to check why it got deactivated. Please come over to our discord at https://discord.gg/dtaYqRz and share your log with me. Come to the #modding-discussion channel to find me there.

V2.0.0 - BIG overhaul. It took a while, and it was not easy, but you can now manually assign Gates using the in game assignment function, currently only on the Display's assigment menu. This means, your Displays for specific gates can be far away from your actual Gate or the Boarding facility, and you have full control over the Display's assignment. After installing this update, all your Displays will only show the time, and all automatic assignments are gone. Please manually assign all Gates you want to display on each specific Display.

V1.0.6 - Performance improvement
V1.0.5 - Made it work with modded Boarding facilities.
V1.0.4 - Renamed to Gate Information Display.
V1.0.3 - Fix text on display not always showing up. If you have a save file where you already built those displays, you have to dismantle and rebuild the displays again. Sorry for any inconvenience.
V1.0.2 - Fix the 12H display for the Small sign.
V1.0.1 - Visual update for the Large sign.

Resubscribed to the mod, loaded the savegame, and pax behave like normal. Some glitch happened for sure, but I won't blame anyone here. Consider me puzzled...

As the baseline: I don't use a beta branch of the game, and I only subscribed to this mod.

Started from scratch, and with barely any infrastructure, I wondered what caused delays and missed flights. A grant scheme required 3 flight info displays, so I'd think the info need is covered on basic level.

After unsubscribing from the mod, and reloading a save where previously people were mass-fleeing the security area to be queueing again at the moment of saving, the reload first complained about the mod missing (I deconstructed a display again, haven't sold it, but the box probably was removed), and then every passenger behaved, nobody requeued (apart from the few that already got that command before saving) - i.e. an immediate fix.

No clue what's going on, and I believe you stating that your mod isn't at all messing with passengers activities. I don't want to claim it's never working, but if someone else is experiencing something weird like me, it might give them an idea.

@n00b
Purely technicallyit speaking it is impossible that this mod does cause this. There could be reasons why this could happen, such as: It might be that your passengers are starving for information (it's a need) and you do not provide any or not enough information objects throughout your airport, especially not after security, so the people run to the only source of information they can get. But then it's not the cause of this mod but you can improve your airport design :-)

My experience is that this mod causes passengers to constantly return from the gate back to outside security, and completely destroy their schedule and miss flights. I had this as the only mod installed.

Sad, as I like the idea, but it's no big issue for me not using it.

wow that is cool

@andriecomila2:

What do you want to achieve by rotating? You would not be able to see anything, neither from the sides nor from the back.
TheMildM22 Aug 3, 2023 @ 5:09pm 
please make them be able to rotate

@Furida if the mod gets shut off, I need the log to check what's happening. Please come over to our discord at https://discord.gg/dtaYqRz and find me at #modding-discussion, there you can share your log with me. I want to fix the issue, but if I don't get the logs, I can't.

The mod Cut off itself and bug, i think there is a lot of things to change but it's a great mod !

@Butterworth:
If it keeps turning itself off, there is probably an issue. I will need your Game log and possibly your airport to replicate it, please :-)
Can you come over to the discord at https://discord.gg/dtaYqRz find me at #modding-discussion there? You can drop your log and airport there.
Thanks :-)
