Openrct2: Objects in Selector not available for placement

[myn0k]

OS: [e.g. Windows 7]
Version: [e.g. 0.1.3]
Commit/Build: [e.g. bd5b137]

Certain items in some scenarios selected in the Object Selector menu are not available in the scenery menu for placing. Inconsistent issue, not universal to all scenarios.

• [ ] Reproducible in RCT2 (vanilla)?
• [ ] Specific to multiplayer?

Steps to reproduce:

1. Load save-game provided and open object selector tool
2. Verify item WALLMN32.DAT is selected to be available (vanilla rct2 wooden wall, see video)
3. Open scenery placement walls tab and verify object WALLMN32.DAT is not available to be placed

If I understand the issue correctly, this is intended behaviour. You will have to edit the invention list in order to make the object(s) available immediately, too.

Not for walls, though, unless part of an uninvented scenery group.

That seems to be the case indeed. The mine theming was still in the to-be-inveted list. Moving it up to the list of invented items makes the wall available.

@myn0k You can fix this easily by enabling debugging tools in the options menu, then from the Debugging Tools button in the top toolbar (the one with the two cogs) select _Invention list_ and move 'Mine Theming' to the upper list.

Do you guys think it would be better to auto invent items if added in-game?

[myn0k]

Wow. I'm such an idiot. I'm sorry :( I could have sworn I had "ignore invention status" enabled in the cheats but I must have unselected it at some point. I'm really sorry for wasting everyone's time I feel terrible.

No hard feelings, @myn0k! You missed out on a non-obvious step. As @IntelOrca suggested, we should try to make it more intuitive.
