Printing train schedules
Allow putting train schedules in the printer and sending a serialized Lua table to a function. Then using create mod, the printed schedules can be put onto a station and applied to a train.
Hey, thanks for giving us this idea!
I like this idea, and we wanted to do something similar as well for month now! The problem is the "how exactly?" tho.
We will keep this one in mind when finally starting to implement this.
I will keep this open until we have a clear idea for this.
What if schedules can be inserted into a disk drive. They have one json file representing the stops. Before any changes to this file are actually written, the json is verified.
This approach would also allow for reading the schedule instead of just writing.
Update - It turns out create has built in support for this now however... it cannot be used with steam'n'rails instructions, like Waypoint through station.
