Re: TaI - introducing the scrabble board
It's intriguing when a building reconfigures its appearance because a road was constructed next to it
(this was the Gothic Revival church).

Re: TaI - introducing the scrabble board
i agree, that annoys me as well. the road configuration should only be read on construction time, and then stored somewhere (animation frame?) for future reference.
Re: TaI - introducing the scrabble board
Pikka: thank you for this great and excellent work.
I have a question: could there be any problem in using this set together with another townGRF like TTRS ? I just tried and so far, seems to work.

Re: TaI - introducing the scrabble board
TaI attempts to limit the growth of towns by withholding buildings when the town reaches a certain size. If you use another set, the town will just use the other set's buildings once it reaches TaI's limit.keoz wrote:Pikka: thank you for this great and excellent work.

This set could really do with an updated release, eh?
Re: TaI - introducing the scrabble board
Ok. Thank you for the answer. That's not an issue for me, I use your set together with TTRS mostly to decrease the density of the cities/introduce more diversity.TaI attempts to limit the growth of towns by withholding buildings when the town reaches a certain size. If you use another set, the town will just use the other set's buildings once it reaches TaI's limit.
Well, considering the great quality of all your works, I'll obviously not say "no"PikkaBird wrote:This set could really do with an updated release, eh?

Re: TaI - introducing the scrabble board
A little progress, but still plenty to do - victorian slums, country estates, modern/futuristic houses...

Re: TaI - introducing the scrabble board
Interesting.
Let me understand: the only way you can control town "growth" (and size), is not by limiting the amount of houses (tiles with houses), but only by defining the style of house that can be built in a tile ?

Re: TaI - introducing the scrabble board
You can prevent the town building any houses, but - as discussed previously in this thread - the town will end up building big empty road networks instead. So instead, when the town reaches its limit, I have it build a fake "house" which looks like a rough ground tile, and which removes itself as soon as it is built.keoz wrote:Interesting.

Re: TaI - introducing the scrabble board
Now with Pub-be-gone®, a new calculation to stop the outskirts of large towns being overrun with light commercial buildings (currently, country pubs and petrol stations).

Re: TaI - introducing the scrabble board
i m really glad to see things move on this set ! I m really excited to see the outcome of your work mr Pikka ! The screenies are tasty
Can we expect the city hall bulding you were planning initially ?
also would it be anyhow possible to see what kind of towns we are building in the scenario editor ? i remember creating a scenario with your newgrf were i had to label cities name with their max pop possible at a certain date, this was made so i can know what kind of town is coming next(by counting down with the pattern you gave earlier in the thread)... and also to let player know from the begining and plan their network accordingly.
and a small suggestion, what about a parameter to disallow all the tall and urban building to be built to make for example a totally rural looking scenario? or to allow them only after cities reached a certain size (like in the japan set). This should/would not break your feature of limiting city size, but could give more flexibility to players on the kind of scenario they want to play
thanks for all your work, and looking forward your next release

Re: TaI - introducing the scrabble board
A new version of the set has hit Bananas, along with a beta of TaI Industries (which is little more than PBI renamed, for the moment).
TaI now reads and respects the OpenTTD "city" flag; only and all OpenTTD "cities" will also be TaI "cities". As for the city/town/village halls... well, eventually (tm).romazoon wrote:also would it be anyhow possible to see what kind of towns we are building in the scenario editor?

PBI (and brick chain ofcourse) is still one of the most used industry set by me mostly because of stockpile and secondary_industries_built_near_town features
By the way is there any chance in future to fix the bug mentioned here?
Re: TaI - introducing the scrabble board
Request: I trust you will be removing the football stadium before 1863... and maybe even some stepped versions through history!?
In Pikka we trust... I know you'll get this right. UKRS has been screaming for era-specific scenery for years. A combination of that and no reserved tracks and my screens might actually be come half-way respectable dear

Re: TaI - introducing the scrabble board
Oh, that's definitely on the to-do list. You may have noticed that the football stadium is a "Park"; it's just that that's the only graphic that exists for the 2x2 park so far.Dave W wrote:Request: I trust you will be removing the football stadium before 1863... and maybe even some stepped versions through history!?
Re: TaI - introducing the scrabble board
For those who have mentioned a complementary GS, it might be worth to mention which role a GS can play:
If GRFs can affect the noise limit, that might be a candidate to have a relation between population and noise limit that is different for each of the 6 town types in a way that the GS can use noise limit + town size + city flag to decode the town type.
- increase/reduce growth rate
- put restrictions on growth based on eg. cargo delivery

Re: TaI - introducing the scrabble board
Here are the Town Index values that are associated with each town class, if they're helpful.
If the city flag is set: Lowest 2 bits of the Town Index (0-3):
0 = Metropolis
1 = Industrial City
2-3 = Small City
If the city flag is not set: Lowest 3 bits of the Town Index (0-7):
0-2 = Industrial Town
3 = Small/Planned Town
4-7 = Village

Re: TaI - introducing the scrabble board
I'm having problems with TaI 0.3 beta (not using other House Sets) and Vaulters Patch Pack. I posted in his thread thread.
Re: TaI - introducing the scrabble board
Pikka, this is an amazing set, and I was hoping that there might be an update to it, to add the City/*/Hall to mark the kind of town, etc.
Any chance that might happen?
