[UPDATE] Boundary Fence

[noofnoof]

funny you bring that up, save game editor crashes everytime since I've installed your mod...

With "track" i meant everything what can be used to put trains/busses/whatever on it.

Attention Everyone,

Plastikman has exposed an unforeseen flaw in the Boundary Fence (Thank you sir)... To wit, if you add the fence to a scenario, then start a new game with that scenario, it will not work as advertised! Under the right conditions, a city could (and probably will) intersect a road with it. When this happens, the road could change into a fence visually, but it will not have all of the desired properties. This could lead to encroachment into the fenced zone, and to vehicles getting lost and driving on its pathway. Funny to watch, but not what we want.

For the time being, unless/until I find a solution, please disregard instruction 2.a) in the original post, and in the readme.
To get the effectiveness claimed, you must add the fence only to a saved game (using the Saved Game Editor).

My apologies for any inconvenience. I forgot about Murphy's Law.

Does the same thing happen if you try to add a different road?

During the eleven months I was fooling around with this, I actually had two different versions of the fence available in the same saved game. See screenshot.

I also added a third road (Tarmac Road), that behaved somewhat like the fence, but was visually unacceptable.

rig it as a one-way road?

[kingmush360]

I dunno, that tarmac one looks all-right.
I think you can fiddle around with a sprite/xml while a save-game has the previous.

My WIP Streamliner is in the same save always, the sprites change in game without re-starting or going bonkers!

Lomo is capable of some strange stuff!
Keep it up

I've posted an update to the Boundary Fence - see first post.

Now includes two versions: One is specifically intended for use in new games, and in the Scenario Editor. The other is similar to the original and is intended for adding to Saved Games.

Cost reduced for both.

See Readme for details.

Hey guy's and good morning to you all,
I'm Coen and i'm new here even i have the game many years. Its good too know that this game is alive after so many years. Good work !!!

Now i have a problem with the boudry fence. I've placed them in the scenario editor around the city's, but the AI see that as a road an build houses on both sides





What can i do about it?

Greeting Coen

[Zakos]

Which fence are you using? Unless you use the fence which doesn't allow junctions, the town will build roads, they will intersect it, and the town will "own" the road and build on it.

[The Tram man]

About that, when i installed this set i installed the one that allows junctions. But after the update i can't build junctions with it, and the same thing happens to me: towns build houses around them.

Did you add it at scenario build or did you add it after starting the scenario using the locomod tool?

[Emperor Darth Sidious]

I mostly use this file in the scenario-editor to make my industries be build in a line. I haven't realy used it for city's yet (I use Zimmlock's method for that) but it's nice to have the industries being build in a fashion way. After I placed the industrie in the fence I remove the fence again...

Never had any problems though with the Boundry Fence and I still think it's a nice mod for the game

[The Tram man]

Did you add it at scenario build or did you add it after starting the scenario using the locomod tool?

Me? When i built the scenario. I always add it at that time. It might be something as simple as me installing the wrong file, but i can't make any junctions.

Thats likely your problem, you need to add the SVG version when you started the scenario and then use that one...

[Coen]

Hello,

I've used the Boundry Fence NJ.dat file in the editor.
I didn't try it in the game self

[Coen]

I add the fences in the game but it's still the same, houses on both sides.
Then I downloaded the save game editor and add the fences through there but then i couldn't save it again, see pictures






Can someone tell me what i'm doing wrong?

Coen

[Coen]

Problem solved !!!

Don't no what went wrong but it works, opend a saved game in the editor, started Andwerp in 1911 put the boundry fences around it and see in 1926. only one building out of it

[Zakos]

Glad to hear it. You should use the edit button instead of triple-posting.

[Coen]

LocoRoller, I'll keep that in mind

[EndlessRail]
