Jobs Search Bar

#1 Post by ThunderSky » 04 Apr 2017 09:09

A search bar that allow you to find easly and quickly a job to where you want to go. I usualy use the console for teleport to pickup the trailer from a city then start from another one. Would be good to use a search bar to find ALL jobs that are going to that city.

EDIT: Would be good for who just want to drive with a quickjob truck, so they have to not search for 10 minutes for a job.

FWIW I think the easiest way to solve that is to change the way clicking on a city dot works when the sort order is set to Destination such that instead of selecting all jobs from the clicked on city it selects all jobs to that city.

You know you can change the list order to show destination right? Yes it's a bit cumbersome, as you then have to go through the list until you reach the appropriate city but it's still there to be used.

I think that's exactly why it was suggested. Advantages of having custom search is even more obvious with large map mods such as Promods, imagine just typing the destination and sort the results by weight? Or find all instances of specific cargo? Yes please. :)

I vote yes on the grounds that I know people would want it.

Though personally i just click on my current city and take a job offered like a real driver. :P

or there's Virtual Speditor, which lets you specify any trailer, from any city to any other city -and- you can link a half-dozenn or more jobs together.
Great mod.
If you suck at playing the trumpet, that's probably why.

Using Virtual Speditor really breaks immersion for me. It's essentially cheating, as you're creating the jobs yourself instead of choosing what you get from game's economy. It's still great for getting cargo for destinations that are really rare, but I prefer using ingame job market. Though I'd wish we could queue jobs like with the mod.
