56independent [Graffiti on Wagons] Remove erronious double dot

   * Marnack noted that the DlxTrains implementation is to have the aging elements in the same texture file as the rest of the wagon, and use spritesheeting/cropping to select different aging patterns.   * Marnack noted that the DlxTrains implementation is to have the aging elements in the same texture file as the rest of the wagon, and use spritesheeting/cropping to select different aging patterns.
   * It was a agreed aging must be wagon-specific, because of the various sizes and UV map patterns of every different wagon. A generic 'paint chip' or 'rust spot' or 'dirt layer' probably would not work very well.   * It was a agreed aging must be wagon-specific, because of the various sizes and UV map patterns of every different wagon.

   * @doxydoxy's destination display would also be useful for interior displays. (Later thought: I am no longer sure about this, considering that interior displays can have way more complicated styles than exterior displays. Some testing would be needed for this)   * @doxydoxy's destination display would also be useful for interior displays.

-  * With the eye attachment offset, it could be more sensible to attach the display on the train itself instead of using a HUD, and it could be possible to create a slightly more interactive control system instead of relying too much on formspecs. However, the MT engine has some restrictions for this idea (see Blockhead's notes). This and the point above are partly relevant to liveries as these are internally implemented with textures. +  * With the eye attachment offset, it could be more sensible to attach the display on the train itself instead of using a HUD, and it could be possible to create a slightly more interactive control system instead of relying too much on formspecs.

-  * As I was working on distant signaling around the time, I noted that some tests I wrote are sometimes not //strictly// unittests because there are tests that can be used for multiple components at the same time and creating individual tests would be relatively time-consuming.+  * As I was working on distant signaling around the time, I noted that some tests I wrote are not //strictly// unittests because there are tests that can be used for multiple components at the same time and creating individual tests would be relatively time-consuming.
   * I also mentioned localization as it appeared to me that there was some interest in l10n. This point more or less boiled down to "take time for it - localization is not easy".   * I also mentioned localization as it appeared to me that there was some interest in l10n.
