Great idea!!, how about something like fake airport objects? Something modular with several different objects that allows the design and construction of large bus terminals:

Thanks for the support.

Been experimenting with 3 Bus terminals see what my limits are. Tried with 2 overlaps but the furthest overlap glitched a lot ..

So basically will only have the one overlap for buses to enter. If we want the terminal bus zones to be wider, some will need to be fake.

"fridaemon" been helping .. I make he test see if the break and let me know if problems.

Hope to figure out a way if I can make any terminals to work with these type bus stations that will hide the shelter sheds. If successful would be great with some of the photos you sent.

Done 3 bus terminals so far ..

The first one shown in post above plus these 2.

I guess we can let you try what we been working on see what you think.

[GarryG]

Experimenting again we ideas from the photos temporal8 provided bottom last page.

I you placed several terminal bus stations side by side like the image on left here.

BusTerminal07.png (10.42 KiB) Viewed 5186 times

I could make a bus terminal similar to hide thos bus stations as shown on right.

Those shown would be the waiting areas .. I could make a 4th piece to have the offices and can be placed on far end.

It still under construction and the workers gone home for the evening hence why you not see any one in the building.

Will have a try putting glass sections to the roof over the bus stations but will make sure they not show the green bus shelters.

My bedtime .. will do more tomorrow.

Ni Ni all

EDIT:

What a bumma .. I used the wrong bus station from the game to try design that bus terminal. That what happens when I push myself when the eyes are getting heavy. See what happens tomorrow after some sleep

[GarryG]

Here 2 more bus terminals I done.

Designed from one of the images that temporal8 put in the forum on bottom previous page.

Made 2 types from it.

This simple one for through bus stations.

This one can be used for any bus station. I chose the ones from "truckbuslots.grf" (Truck and Bus Parking Lots) .. created by Kevin Fields back in 2010 maybe earlier.
You can make this one as long as you like and buses can use bays either side of the waiting area extensions.

Hope the file be available to upload here in a few days time as have one more to try and make.

Would you like to try what I done so far with the Bus Terminals.

There are 2 sets at the moment as not sure yet which be best for game play.

There is the Object set .. and there is now a non-track station set.

The object set .. but they take up a space that could be used for something more productive.

The advantage of objects is they cheap to build.

and here the non-track station set. These non-track can be used to join a bus station to a railway or a airport. They also expand the area the terminal will serve in the towns.

The disadvantage to these non-tracks they are dearer to build.

What is your opinion?

[temporal8]

Here 2 more bus terminals I done.

Wonderful, this game needed good bus terminals!

[fridaemon]

I'm really enjoying trying these bus terminals, very good Idea,
This type of graphic was missing a lot here Perfect job!

[GarryG]

Here new set of grf with Bus Terminals.

There are 10 bus terminals in all.

The latest if this one that can be use as long or as wide as you like.

BusTerminal15.png (44.64 KiB) Viewed 4728 times

I tried to design it to blend in the Bus Stations that come with the game. It hides the roofs and the seats look like they part of the Bus Terminal.

If you leave the far road vacant of bus stations and it can then be used for taxis and cars to pick up and set down passengers.

It is available as a non-track station set.

And it is also in the object set which is now called AuzObjectAddOns. The Auz32TestObjects will later have some truck loading bays for testing. It also includes a set of Communication Towers that Luxtram made.

If you see anything that can be improved or a error I missed, appreciate if let me know.

The big grey terminal thinking of changing its colour as the grey blends in with roads .. and also for something modern looking I think it could be another colour. Any suggestions?

Cheers

More classic colouring (incomplete and careless)?

More classic colouring?

That looks really good .. see what I can do.

Did a old fashion style last night.

Bus terminal 16.png (36.19 KiB) Viewed 4565 times

and now working on a different idea. Making the office buildings separate to the bus terminal sections.

Bus terminal 18.png (86.35 KiB) Viewed 4565 times

You can then place the office on either side of the terminal.

With luck both might be ready later this afternoon .. it now 11 am here .. so maybe within the next 12 hours with luck.

Edited my previous post for supports.


Yesterday one is very nice. Last one you posted needs the roof to be darker. Now it more suitable for Arctic.

What you think a light grey?

The object terminals most of those I have put snow on the roof. Just the big grey one to be done .. but plan to recolour it first.

[GarryG]

Just thinking with you idea .. what if I keep the whitish roof and easy to make another with a colour suitable for what you want. Let me know what you would like.

Cheers

EDIT:

here is 3 designs I done including the idea from perverted monkey making a red roof terminal. The other one still available.

The office building are separate pieces so can add even end of the bus terminal and hope soon have a nice variety of officers to use with any set.

[GarryG]

Here is where I am up to with the Bus Terminals.

These are the OBJECT Bus Terminals

and

these are the non-track Station Bus Terminals.

They have the Bus Terminals shown in image in post above.

[GarryG]

Been experimenting .. again .. seeing if I can overlap the bus stations where large terminals not required.

Overlapping them no problem and they could look like this.

Made a old wooden bus stop

Bus Stops 01.png (21.62 KiB) Viewed 4836 times

But the problem is when bus some it goes behind the bus stop .. very inconvenient to the passengers. So far I not found a answer how to stop that.

Bus Stops 02.png (19.58 KiB) Viewed 4836 times

also the yellow square is where something else needs to go to allow the overlap .. maybe a small shop or house.

So I think I have to throw this idea out the window for now.

[GarryG]

Had a go making a bus terminal with see through black glass roof and this is the result.

Bus terminal 23.png (48.24 KiB) Viewed 4833 times

The roof blends in a bit with the roads but overwise I think it should be ok.

This bus terminal I think I will remove it as it to big. If I make it smaller the default bus stations stick through the roof. See if I can replace it with something else.

Bus terminal 24.png (44.85 KiB) Viewed 4833 times

A few changes been made as well .. the grey bus terminal has had a new paint job and I seeing what the buildings from my Sydney Railway Station will look with the bus terminals. Need to make a small alteration to them as they was designed to align with platforms 3 pixels high. Only done the clock tower so far.

These are brilliant. Making me want to start a new game with just your creations loaded. Loving more and more of your work.

Thanks pal, glad you like them.

Not getting any work done today as keep getting power outages. I tried twice and lost the work each time. Workmen are working on power lines in the area so I wait till tomorrow to try do any more.

Having a try on some truck loading bays now.

Only been able to get one done but hope to do a few more when get chance.

Truck Bay 1.png (25.74 KiB) Viewed 4731 times

The Truck Loading Bay is a jigsaw puzzle. Need 2 pieces one piece for each side the road.

You can give it a try see what I mean and let me know if like so can do more. Only done the object version so far.

[GarryG]

Here image of 2 Truck Loading bays that be in next upload.

Like the last one in last release they in 2 pieces one for each side the road. This is so they not glitch with the default truck loading bays.

I wail till I do a few more before I upload next version .. if all goes well could be Friday.

Hi Garry
Hope this is what you had in mind to do with these?
Love them.
Of your new ones def liking the grey buildings, they fit the style nicely

[GarryG]

Hope this is what you had in mind to do with these?

Yep, nicely the way you used that terminal.

Of your new ones def liking the grey buildings, they fit the style nicely

The building you used in the image will remain in set. I wounder if I should do another one the same without the aerial?

Glad you like it.

Cheers
