Dutch Station Addition Set, Part 2 v0.4

As I ran out of station-IDs in the Original Dutch Station Addition Set viewtopic.php?f=26&t=64121&hilit=dutch+ ... s+addition, but not out of ideas , I decided to make a Part 2 (an addition to the addition set ).

The GRF can be found on Bananas (the ingame downloader) and it is advised to place this GRF directly below the original DSA-set in your GRF-list.

For the list of features, see below. But here are some screenies: And a feature I would like to explain a bit with screenshots, There are some tiles with custom foundations, when placed on elevated land: You get this: A "Randstad Rail"-station Please note that the road under the station is fake and cannot be used by vehicles!

NFO: PCX:

Sorry for the multiple posts

I noticed that Bananas wasnt really happy with the long name I gave to the GRF.
So I uploaded a new version (v0.2) with a better name. For that I had to give it a new GRF-ID, so be aware for broken games!!!
Also included two more Platforms with foundations, one with OpenGFX-road and one with TTRS-road.

Aahhh! Another piece for my collection!
By the way: I love what you did with the 'Randstad rail' -station!

Nice! I've been waiting for many of these pieces.

I have a few comments about the modern overpass. I notice regular glitching when using it together with Dutch catenary and also when high trains pass under it, such as the NS VIRM double deckers. I think it is just slightly too low. The other comment I have about it is that it although it would be nice to put roofs against both sides of the overpass, this isn't possible because the overpass is not wide enough. The screenshot I attached shows what I mean with putting the roofs against the overpass.

Thnx for your comments!

The modern overpass is 8 pixels high from groundlevel, the same as bridges etc, so that isnt the problem. I have tested some of the normal tiles and I had no problem with Dutch Catenary and the doubledeckers.
However the overlapping tiles can glitch. Do you get that issue with those tiles only or also with others? Please send a screenshot of the station that has those issues, that way I may be able to see what is causing the problem.

That overpass will not be a tile wide as you requested, the narrow overpass looks much better and is more realistic in my opinion, sorry.

EDIT: However, doing one, a tile wide, looking like Utrecht Centraal Overpass is an option. I'll put it on the to-do/look-into list

Getting to see the glitching in a screenshot is incredibly difficult, but if you look carefully at the screenshots I attached, you can see some overhead wires going above/through the overpass. I also noticed that sometimes the overhead wire is visible against the the overpass, which it should, but sometimes is entirely interrupted on the entire tile, which I think it should not. A split second later it all looks different again. The glitching only occurs when trains are passing under it, not when standing still. This is the case for all platform tiles using the modern overpass, not for overpass tiles without platform, with exception of the interruption of the wire on the entire tile which also takes place on through tracks. I noticed that other tiles of previous Dutch station sets also have this glitching, such as practically all roofed platform tiles on the screenshots. I don't know whether this is fixable at all.

I agree that making this modern overpass tile-wide would be a bit too much. You could also make the overpass so that it is against the side of the tile, which puts it against the roofs on at least one side. Or maybe include an overpass tile with 'built-in' roof.

Thnx for the screenshots!!
I will look into those issues!

EDIT: Looks like a boundingbox issue and only happens when there are other stationtiles built next to them. Thats why I didnt see the issue before, because I tested the tiles as standalone.
Should be fixable

Very good additions .. like them very much ..

Have you notice when make a station with platforms and footbridges only connecting to platforms and then you add the extension overlap bridges with U-shape stairs it gives that extension a different station name?

Those who know the game only need to hold down Ctrl key while adding the extension stairs to join it to the others so it no big deal. Apart from that its great. Those that I did in my Auz_Lineside_Objects I can now free up that section and do some other types.

Like the road underpass and raised platforms .. look good.

Suggestion have you thought also doing a over head fake road to match?

Great work.

Cheers

Have you notice when make a station with platforms and footbridges only connecting to platforms and then you add the extension overlap bridges with U-shape stairs it gives that extension a different station name?

Yes, that is indeed normal behaviour of the game, the stationtiles are not connected directly via tiles and thus it gets a different name. And indeed using CTRL-pressed during placement fixes that.
Not that big of a deal, but always handy to mention for people who didnt know that yet

Suggestion have you thought also doing a over head fake road to match?

You mean a fake bridge over the station? Not a bad idea, however I am a bit careful with adding too much graphics with roads, as there are so many different roadsets available (and then I have to draw a different graphic for each different roadset, that takes up valuable Station-IDs). And some of the roadsets arent GPL-licensed, so I am not allowed to use them without asking permission (and especially with some older roadsets, the developers are not always easy to contact. For example, I am waiting on a reply for using Czech roadpieces for 4 years now already ) But maybe its not a bad idea to start a poll and see what roadsets are most popular.... If it is about 4 or 5, I could be tempted... Right now I have the "normal" Open-GFX roads, the UK-roads and the TotalTownReplacementSet-roads. What other roadsets are popular?

Suggestion have you thought also doing a over head fake road to match?

What if make your own road design for the road and the road pieces that comes of the bridge make it a little longer like I did in Road Objects to link to any other roads?

This is a personal thing, but I like my fake roads to match up exactly with actual roads.

Still, using a universal color for the tarmac might work. But there is still the issue with the lines in the middle of the road. Some sets have white lines, some have yellow and it would look strange if those dont match.
However, this does mean only 2 options, rather than 4 or 5. So I will experiment a bit with that.

That fair enough to when making these things .. make to your own designs to what you like .. and others have choice like it or lump it..

I same with most things I made in the object things. Much of it studied other peoples ideas and just changed to be how I wanted.

Just an idea for you .. again .. if you do a bridge over railway lines as object consider doing none broken lines. All bridges that I know of crossing over railway lines do not have broken centre lines. They all 2 unbroken lines down the centre as passing is not allowed on bridges in this country.

I got a few thing to catch up with in the objects I doing and will look at that idea too.

Cheers

American Road Replacement Set (ARRS) is probably the most popular one you didn't mention. I'm sure North American/Canadian Road Set is still popular, and if you contacted OzTran he'd probably say okay. Probably nowhere near as popular but still out there is Buttercup's Yet Another Road and Rail Set (YARRS).

Can you do more overpass tiles with that Non-track platform ?

Ill put it on the to-do list. Dont expect anything soon. Very busy with real-life stuff and other OpenTTD projects right now.

Ok. Thanks

Version 0.3 is released and can be found on Bananas (the ingame downloader)
See first post for list of changes and bugfixes.
Many thanks to:
- Silverx50, for many new Dutch Station graphics (GPLv2)
- luxtram, for some handy drawing tricks and tips
- All others, who have pointed out bugs or gave good hints and suggestions

Sources (Code and Graphics): I have included all three of my graphics worksheets, not only because I used various graphics of those for version 0.3, but also as a handy back-up for me, if my computer decides to crash on me

ENJOY!!

So great to see this released

Thnx!
