Transport Tycoon Forums

Hi. I just finished my first game script.

http://binaries.openttd.org/bananas/gam ... l-1.tar.gz

This GS works only in multiplayer. The company has to pay road tax for cars driving on roads owned by other companies. Every day for each vehicle, the charge is deducted from the company account and credited to the account of the company owning the road.

Great ! Too bad it doesn't applicate to sections we choose - it'd be good to have tolled roads, but that's for a patch.

Super Script! But for your script stored on the Bananas server, it would be good to set the URL referencing the discussion in this forum.

Hi, I'll look at it. It should be done through toll gates. The entrance or exit of the highway could be marked with a sign, even with a price, and if the car was passing through the gate, it would have to pay.

Edit: The possibility of a price change could be dangerous. The player may raise the price just before the car passes.

I've tested it. Unfortunately, it is easily exploited to steal money from artificially created companies.

Hi, yes, it is possible. But how to solve it? If you want, you can create a new company at any time and simply send money to you.

Yes, but here it is with buses to take the money borrowed from the bank. Send money borrowed from the bank is not possible.

The player won't stay forever to change toll prices.
It'd also be good to pay a different tax for different cargoes. For example, because of security reasons, trucks transporting chemicals would pay a lot more than trucks transporting goods.

Okay, I'll try to implement it

By that, i mean players fixing a price for each cargo.

Hi, here is alpha version of HighwayToll2.

There are 3 modes.
1. Mode 0 - pay on all foreign roads (same as HighwayToll v1)
2. Mode 1 - pay from sign to sign on foreign roads
3. Mode 2 - pay from sign to sign on all roads

I implemented the option to mark a road section with signs. It does not matter what text on the sign will be. There can be for example name of the road or exit number on highway.
Different cargo feature is not implemented yet. Maybe in next version

Here is example how it works. If vehicle ride from Exit1 to Exit2 the fee will be charged per every day the vehicle will be between the signs.



Please report any problems. Thank you.
