Multiple trains in the same tunnel in OpenTTD?

Post by nordemoniac »

Hi!
Is it/will it be possible to run two trains on the same track in a tunnel or on a bridge?
I know the problem with lack of signals in a tunnel, but it should be possible to f.ex. set a signal on a tunnel entry, and make the signal be repeated every 3-4 tile out through the tunnel. The same goes for bridges.

Does a patch/mod exist that can do this? It would be great to have this possibility on my game, where there's a lot of islands, and I have bridges connecting the islands together.

I'm sorry, but where does it mention that you can have several trains in the same tunnel?

Nowhere. In his excitement about "do please search" and trying hard to avoid the impression of backseat moderation he failed to link the correct result ;-) Still, it's a valid request. There is somewhere a (hackish) patch which does exactly that, but you'll want to search for "signals on bridges" in the openttd development section

EDIT: added ""

The search on this forum isn't very useful at best. I haven't found a way to look for a sentence (or "close" words), and without that you have to read through hundreds of results to finally not find what you where looking for.
You yourself pointed out an interesting, but wrong topic (undersea tunnels instead of tunnel/bridge signals). I remember these two where addressed together in some "unofficial" patch, but extremely discouraged from trying to find it (due to big efforts required and small chance of success).

What you mean Chills Patchpack?
There are very few glitches (the only glitches are minor anyway), and you can download a compiled version from somewhere on the topic (not sure where)

I generally find using the Google search option at the bottom of the search window to be more useful, as you can use "quotes" to search for exact phrases, and other Google wizardry.

You keep quoting and repeating the search for a different topic! He is NOT searching for tunnels under water. But signals on bridges and in tunnels. Your replies are remarkably condescending given you fail in either reading comprehension or at least to carry out the search in question yourself.

And for your information as you complain elsewhere: your first posting in this thread has been reported as abusive while failing to give the proper information at the same time. I did read that report fully. I somewhat agree with that and nevertheless dismissed it as your problem - despite possibly pointing the original poster into the wrong direction.
