Bridges on tunnelheads

Post by acs121 »

I was building a rail line in urban environement, and just realized you need to put bridges one tile up if there's a tunnel.
Instead of this, bridges could be built on tunnelheads - and thus almost hide the line under it, while still being able to place signals on the track.

If combined to a stations-on-bridges thingy, this would create great things.
I'd like to make a patch of this, but my main question is how will it work with NewGRF bridge sets ?

Do you mean something similar to enhanced tunnels, like TTDPatch has?

Not sure if this patch was ever written for OpenTTD...

Alternately, you could hide the tunnel portals by using a subway or urban railtype (found in metro tracks or japanese tracks) which makes it look like a plain pavement tile.

I think I get what you mean, I'll edit this in a minute to get a mock-up. I'm not sure how well it'd work.
