What stationset did you use for the one in the top left? I believe its called Miya Moopet (bit difficult to read the name).
That is the SMITS station, I like how it combines with the Japanese Modular ones. Kudos to you for the dutch additions set btw

I'm afraid that would be hard, this game is finished (my computer cannot really handle more than ~3000 vehicles) so I started on a new one. As I always make many modifications to the ottd source the save is not loadable by other versions anymore.
Much more will be coming soon though

What usually kills of my CPU are loads of ships. RVs don't seem to do much - I think my current game has something like 4500 (3000 + 1500 "generic cars" or so) ...
Also - would you mind posting the line you changed to get towns to only build on flat space?

No ships involved here I'm afraid. It was only trains (~700), busses (~1100) and cars (~2000) that makes it crawl. I'm playing on a 1.2 ghz netbook though so my limits are slightly below normal computers these days.
The change is quite simple, I attached the diff. Maybe me or someone else make this into a decent patch with a setting someday.

I see, in that case I'm actually positively surprised by how many vehicles OTTD can handle
& thanks for the diff, works perfectly =)

How do add that patch to the game? I'd like to use it also but have never dealt with patches before.

There is an extensive thread on it

3 Screenshots from my current game, a work in progress.
The first shot is showing Dunya Orlais station, a multilevel station on the outskirts of Dunya, connecting the Roshani and Nimras Landing lines. Road and rail freight traffic is seen travelling towards the docks and airport, which we will visit later
The next shot shows Lions Gate, another multilevel station serving trains towards Koila Pass and Sirin. It is also a metro hub, serving M4, M6 and M7.
Final shot: The modern downtown WTC area, also partly showing Sheza Kaniz, the main central station.

wat. multi level stations.... please explain that wizardry (okay. it might not be wizardry, but yeah. its pretty awesome)
Is it some sort of GRF manipulation?

It is a combination of FooBar's
Metro Track Set v2.1.0 (used with a supported NewGRF train set) and several of Quast65's
NewGRF Objects such as Custom Tunnel Entrances and Dutch RET Metrostation.
When you use a supported train set, Metro Track Set features an "Underground" station, which is just a station that has an earth or concrete surface above it. If you place this one level below your ground, and then fill the slope with another station or object tile, it can simulate the appearance of being underground. Quast's Custom Tunnel Entrances will overlay any regular train tunnels with a graphic of your choice, which helps to complete the simulation.

I edited it myself to fit ARRS, but it isn't perfect.

It's trivial, there's actually 2 stations, one which serves as an entry waypoint, then a tunnel under the top station leading into the main station. Using some grfs, the tunnels are hidden. Note that to make this possible, I disabled the short-platform loading penalty (also for the underground stations).

Could you please explain how you did that? Awesome screenshots, by the way.

You can comment out a section of economy.cpp that looks like this:
Code: Select all
if (front->type == VEH_TRAIN) {
/* Each platform tile is worth 2 rail vehicles. */
int overhang = front->GetGroundVehicleCache()->cached_total_length - st->GetPlatformLength(front->tile) * TILE_SIZE;
if (overhang > 0) {
unloading_time <<= 1;
unloading_time += (overhang * unloading_time) / 8;
}
}
That will disable the short-platform loading speed penalty.

Excellent screenshots!!
Great combinations of GRF's and a nice alteration of the Dutch Road Furniture.
And indeed disabling the short-platform loading penalty allows some great visual effects.

Still you might want to supply a patch (or the sprites) to FooBar:

Cool screenshots. I really like how you're building the railway station
