Nice idea, and it is better than anything I could do, but it is too bright for my tastes... That, and I don't mind the wooden bridge as is. I did have a problem with the Canteliver's though, but Rob fixed that up long time ago

It looks like all he did was remove the station building, so that we can now build blank, roofless platforms. I really, really, really like it, as I really really hate that little building on all my freight stations. That is so good and simple, I wonder why nobody else thought of it?

Where can it be d/led, or have you not finished yet?

The covered bridge is a good start and an improvement, but here's a few comments.

I live in New England and there's tons of covered bridges here. They come in red, white, and natural brown. But railroad covered bridges are always natural brown, because they were built in the steam era - there'd be no point in painting them any other color as they'd just get filthy. They should be a dark natural brown.

Also, because of the structure of a covered bridge, you can't have long windows like you have. You would have several relatively narrow, vertical windows down the length of the bridge.

A covered bridge is very dark so flat-black windows are just fine, you can't see anything through the windows of a well-maintained covered bridge anyway.

anyways, back to topic, if anyone wants a wood colored version, get it here but i still prefer the red one.

shawn_ardies your bridge continually flashes three different shades of brown, it is really annoying.

shawn_ardies · Post by **shawn_ardies** » 24 Jan 2004 21:23

Dan · Post by **Dan** » 24 Jan 2004 21:48

Dan · Post by **Dan** » 24 Jan 2004 21:59

I will try it without the roadset.

EDIT:not shure how to remove roadset

shawn_ardies · Post by **shawn_ardies** » 24 Jan 2004 22:11

Dan · Post by **Dan** » 24 Jan 2004 22:13

shawn_ardies · Post by **shawn_ardies** » 24 Jan 2004 22:18

do yo have the uninstall? it didn't quite work as i expected in my game either but it stays one color

I tested it and it is true, it uses brown colors that are animated.
They are animated since csaba fixed the "not working animations in windows" bug with ttdpatch 20alpha9vcs.
(animations did not work in windows properly)

I do not know about fullscreen though.
