Thanks, Snail!

Thank you for your amazing work!

I found a bug when using this with Ufiby's custom bridges...

this bug present on 2 types of rails. any bridge set.

Thanks for spotting that! Fixed in version 1.2.02 of the trackset. I also fixed a bug affecting an engine on the trainset.
Both files are available on the 1st post.

Hmm, you mean the trains in this set can run on standard gauge tracks as well?

Snail wrote: ↑30 Mar 2021 04:04 I've tried my set (and nothing else) in a game with Ufiby's tracks, and it looks like I can only build narrow gauge tracks:

What are you seeing on your end?

Gadg8eer wrote: ↑30 Mar 2021 07:25 No, I meant that Ufiby's narrow guage tracks are wider than your meter guage tracks; It would make sense if Ufiby's NG is 1372mm and supported default narrow guage trains (like those of Iron Horse), yours were meter gauge as you intended, and the 600mm/500mm narrow guage trains are also as they are described.

Basically, three different NG track types are easily supported by the 64 tracktypes, and although I understand a lot of people like ease of use or a small tracktype menu, it probably wouldn't be too hard to add a parameter to allow your French meter-guage trains to only run on dual/tri/omni-gauge and meter guage tracks.

I see what you mean now. It looks like Ufiby's narrow gauge tracks are a slightly narrower variant of the default TTD tracks; I went for a more "finescale" approach instead, consistently with what MB is doing for his set.

The problem here is that both Ufiby and I follow the standard labeling system for rail tracks, which means my meter-gauge tracks his narrow-gauge tracks share the same label. This is what allows French metric-gauge trains to run on his narrow gauge tracks. Differentiating my tracks from his would require a major change in my set, coz I'd have to change all the labels on my tracks and vehicles. With obvious issues of backward compatibility.

Although you do have a point, I don't think I have the time to do it now. I only have limited time to spend on OTTD, and a few other things are already on my list.
As an idea, though, I do admit it'd be interesting to have more than one narrow-gauge types of tracks. I've always seen Ufiby's NG tracks optimized for Japanese trains (1.067m gauge), since their speed limits are incredibly high for anything that ran on metric tracks in Europe.

But then again, if we did that, we'd soon fill up all the 64 available slots, which means we'd have to go back begging the OTTD developers to add more

I have a small question : why don't you release you GRF on bananas ?
This would help getting the latest version and probably give it more visibility to players that don't browse the forums.
