Rought sketch of ideas for a future OpenTTD 2.0

goal / script framework: definiable via *some* interface

• events:
  • trigger action on certain conditions (date, town sizes, <item> becoming available,...)
    • build / destruct <item> (town, industry, landscaping, objects, roads, canals, rivers)
    • declare goal reached (see further down)
    • start new / close company
    • modify money
  • goals definable by
    • <best value> reached at a certain date
    • <something> reached (first)
  • goals:
    • money
    • cargo transported (different ones / amount one / all) FS#4706
    • towns or industries serviced
    • town or global population (town 'ownership' by most cargo units transported there?)
    • number of profitable vehicles (or other conditions on vehicles)
    • advanced: custom-scripted? Using / extending existing interface (admin port, NoAI API, NewGRF interface?)
• For goals with a numerical target: Graphs showing progress
  • Company color, similar to company value graph
• News posts
  • On town claiming / claimant switch
  • On goal achieved
  • On goal failed
• Display town ownership in town interface / map / minimap / town directory
• Possibility to freeze play after goal reached / failed.

scenarios reworked

• allow definition independent of NewGRFs:
  • keep town position and size (maybe also house category)
  • keep industry positions and type
  • keep roads, rivers, canals
  • keep heightmap
• suggested NewGRFs (by grfID, update to latest version automatically)

scenario editor reworked

• allow using it in multiplayer
• allow (re)configuration of NewGRFs and re-generate items (towns, industries) as necessary (see scenarios reworked)
• allow to change climate without using a cheat
• advanced: allow to change map size?
• allow to import savegames without fuzz
  • allow to change NewGRFs as defined by scenarios reworked

GUI:

• font and font size selection
• GUI scale setting (normal, zoom*X (x=1,2,3,4 like currently zoom settings)
  • possibly use something like http://scale2x.sourceforge.net/index.html
• allow NewGRFs (and base sets) to define sprites also for other zoom levels than 1 explicitly
• enable / disable 32bpp directly from GUI, similar to NewGRFs / base sets, integrate them in bananas
• grids yes/no
• rework main menu(s):
  • title menu
    • new game
      • AI settings
      • NewGRF settings
      • Adv. Settings with difficulty(?) presets
      • Map settings
    • Join Network game
    • Scenario editor
    • High scores
    • GUI Settings
      • base sets
      • font
      • size / scale
      • language
      • ... (from adv. settings / GUI)
    • Online updates
      • game itself
      • content download
    • Quit

Vehicle management:

• allow share and manage orders / colour / name / ... via groups
• vehicle templates(?) for building and replacement
• unify autorenew and autoreplace. It's confusing to have both (maybe make autorenew just the default for replacement rules)

Cargo destinations

• cargos which want to go *somewhere* specific (either distribution or destinations)

NewGRF-support for all kind of stations

• road stations and sea ports with state machines
• NewGRF capability for sea ports and road stations

Terrain

• advanced map access / transparency, which enables also sub-ways
• more heighlevels and also sea levels (sub-sea-surface future buildings anyone?)
• map generation:
  • generation of rivers
  • placement of NewObjects?
