Does anyone know if it's possible to rename Oil Rigs and Fishing Grounds when placing them using the scenario editor? I know it's possible when placing them in a new scenario, but in this case I'm talking about a running game loaded into the scenario editor!

I have a feeling I've renamed these before when loading a running game into the scenario editor when placing these industries, but I can't remember how I did it...

Anyone? :?:

Clicking on the industry while in the editor should open the industry's window where you should see a rename tab ... I think ... :?:

Yes, one would think so but the "rename"-button is sort of shadowed and blocked from renaming it... :?:

Hmm ... I just started TTDP and there were no industry rename tabs anywhere. Could you post a screenshot?

As you can see the "rename"-button has a shadow and won't work, whislt placing an oilrig in a completely new scenario allows you to rename it to something of your own choice... :?:

Can you build a second oil rig in the same area/town?

Yes, but still unable to rename them! Question is, why is it possible to rename when creating a new scenario, but not when loading a game in the scenario editor?

OK ... Now I understand what is happening.

In TTDP ...
When creating a new scenario, TTDP does not yet know how many towns there will be.
The player may build a town near an existing industry and want to rename the industry to match the town name, or to give the industry a completely unrelated name.
The player then saves the scenario and then selects to play scenario.
The player is now in a game but the player has not named a company yet.
The oil rig name remains grey because it does not know who owns the name.
The player saves the game.
All the game's data is frozen and saved.
When the player loads the saved game into the editor, the saved data is protected and can't be changed.

Note that for the oil rig the displayed name is a station name. Click somewhere else on the oll rig and you will see an industry window which does not have any rename option.

So, here is the workaround ...
In the game, use the build station tool to create an adjacent station tile on land.
The oil rig name will change from grey to your company colour.
The oil rig station now belongs to your company.
You can now rename the station.
If you do not need the land part of the station, blow it up (BOOM!!).
The oil rig station will remain yours to rename as you please.
You can do all this without loading the game into the editor.
:mrgreen:

Hmm, tried it but it didn't work at all... :?:

I built a station close to one of my oil rigs but it didn't change from grey to my company colour... I even tried it on a newly funded oil rig, but to no avail...

Did you build an "adjacent" station?

ctrl + click with station building tool
then select the name of the oil rig from the menu that appears.

My bad, didn't do it properly... :oops:

But yeah, it actually works... Thank you Wally... Now I don't have to settle with long stupid names on those water based industries... :W
