Unbunching using IPT2

Hi,

Thank you very much for the mod and it certainly unlocks the potential of buses in the C:S.

I personally prefer IPT2 over TLM because it allow me to configure where unbunching should occur, most usually at terminus. Unless a route is looped, I would allow unbunching to occur at the two ends of the route, like in real life.

Therefore, I wonder if you can please add a feature to only allow "stop-on-demand" at stops where "vehicle unbunching" is FALSE as defined using IPT2, and to disallow "stop-on-demand" at stops where "vehicle unbunching" is TRUE. In this case, unbunching do not necessarily need to occur at the first stop.

I look forward to seeing this feature in the upcoming update.

Thanks,
Herman

Aggressive Mode Skip-Stop Behaviour in Conjunction with IPT2

Hi,
Thanks for adapting the TLM skip-stop behaviour in the main mod. It is working very nicely as intended.

I would like to report 2 situations occuring when the agressive mode is used in conjunction with IPT2.

1. Buses currently will bypass stops that are designated for unbunching by IPT2 (i.e. terminus but not necessarily seen by the game as the first stop of the route).
2. Buses will NOT bypass "first" stop of route* that is NOT designated for unbunching by IPT2
   *When a route is drawn, the first click may not necessarily be the first route of the route, but the game "sees" it so.

Perhaps this will just be an additional logic check before the decision to bypass a stop or not is made.

Thank you very much, Sir.

Invert IPT2 unbunching doesnt seem to work

Hi,

Recently had to switch back to IPT2 because TLM unfortunately doesnt have correct earnings from PT.. so Im using your mod now to sort of mimic the Express function TLM has built-in. Thanks for making this mod!

Now my problem is that I wanted to use "Invert IPT2 unbunching" so that I can only let them unbunch at termini and start. However it seems that it inverts the order of unbunching/boarding which results in not unbunching at those stops at all. When I switch to "first principle" all is working fine at startpoint.. but this mode is not optimal since I also want the busses to unbunch at the endpoints (designated stops where I turned off unbunching in IPT2).

On your steamworkshop page I saw some comments about similar problems but that was related to a problem after a system shutdown, thats not the case for me as it just never works.

Hope you can help or shed some light on the issue :D Thanks!
