Build Under Slopes
With the buildonslopes switch we can build on top of slopes, so this is an extension: control-clicking when building on a slope builds underneath the slope. Is this possible?

Re: Build Under Slopes
For this tile, with the marked track type, define "below". Flat? Sloped, NE end down? Sloped, SW end down?

To get a good answer, ask a Smart Question. Similarly, if you want a bug fixed, write a Useful Bug Report. No TTDPatch crashlog? Then follow directions.

Re: Build Under Slopes
... as in RollerCoaster Tycoon, where you can lower all edges of a tile independently?

This has well and truly been suggested before.

Hmmm, what are you referring to? suttonc's original suggestion or the "independently" part of my post (which wasn't meant as a suggestion, I just used RCT as an example)?m3henry wrote:and it has been attempted by a patch dev, but there was a problem, leading to jumping trains

Re: Build Under Slopes
The independent heights would be an extended part of this suggestion, but this would require a completely new representation of the map. As long as rail networks built with this feature are built correctly, there shouldn't be an oppurtunity for the trains to jump.

Re: Build Under Slopes
Oskar once planned to store all the corner heights of a tile (as a word I believe) with his new map array, however that never quite got started.

Re: Build Under Slopes
Wouldn't it use less memory to store only the height of the northern-most corner and the shape of the tile (for example, all other corners lower than northern one, or north and south corners higher than east and west)?

Re: Build Under Slopes
Actually no, quite the opposite, a landscape part (with shape style), and other parts are stored in an xyz based system. The main idea behind it would be flexible build options...
