[OSM-dev] Questions on modifying openstreetmap-carto

[ika-chan! (OpenStreetMap)]

Hello again,

I am starting to get the basics of adding new fields to project.mml, but I now wish to update “amenity-points” so that bus stops use the network name from the “stop_area”, like they do in France. At the moment I can manage:

    tags->'network' AS network,

… which calls up the network tag from the node only. How do I make it to read from the “stop_area” relation too?

Apologies for being very specific: I am very new to anything beyond simple recolours.

There are projects such as https://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/TileMill which were / are designed to automate map reloading after changes, but when I last used TileMill (a long time ago) there were signnificant problems using TileMill with an OSM Carto-derived style (not least - there are so many tabs that they disappeared off the screen).  I tend to just reload when I want to rerender.  When changing my own OSM Carto-derived map style I use https://github.com/SomeoneElseOSM/SomeoneElse-style/blob/master/update_render.sh and https://github.com/SomeoneElseOSM/SomeoneElse-style/blob/master/update_carto.sh to reload data (the first if a lua script has changed and the database needs to be reloaded; the second if only a style file has changed and the style just needs to be recompiled).
