terraform dragging

this is in the ttdpatch suggestions, but I think it should be here too, since ottd can actually do it =]

basically the idea is that you have 1 tool for terraforming, and can drag up or down to raise / lift

I hate the RCT terraforming tool.
But maybe a 'levelling' tool might help

You draq a certain field and everything in that field is leveled to the same height (the height you started dragging on)

SVN version have a terrain levelling tool. CTRL + Click on raise land (for now only on train build toolbar).

Woow, I never knew that and I'm a developer

Just tried it and it works just great

Yes, only for train toolbar, that mean you cannot use (yet) for scenario build...

I'd try it if I knew how to compile the damn thing...
I've got DevCPP... Prolly not SDL and stuff though...

BUT I already asked about 'how do I compile this thing?!' somewhere before (got no response though

)

GoneWacko,

I downloaded r621(EDIT: on SVN) less than an hour ago. I can't find any diffrent when I press CTRL(Left) + Mouse_Left, I also tried to drag an area, but failed. I use Linux.

* Open up the rail toolbar
* hold ctrl
* click "raise land"
* release ctrl
* now you can level land with drag and drop.

Works in (Mandrake) Linux here, even though I still developed in WinXP when I implemented this feature. We still couldn't decide where to put a "level land" button.

Maybe in a new small toolbar with lower and higher land, and dynamite...
thoses are not related to rail/road and could be removed from these toolbar.

Or... for high screen resolutions, in the main toolbar ?

It's just an idea..

You could create a new window and a new button to replace the "Plant Tree" button. Just add in the window the plant tree button, the terraforming tool and the dynamite...

Yes, replace the tree button with a new 'alter land' toolbar - it could have raise/lower land, dynamite, level land, plant trees...
