Thank you :)

Meanwhile I finished drawing the lock graphics in all 4 'canal' styles due to a flu haunting me ...

Besides, you may now download a version 0.2 in THIS THREAD.

A future version may contain NewObjects like transitions, small harbours etc., though I don't mind someone stepping in and drawing/coding some ideas :mrgreen:

Thank you for your interest :)

I'm really pleased NRT made it into trunk. However, I hope we will see some new features included throughout the year (i.e. the ones noted in Frosch's NRT docs), which would make the experience much nicer I think.

The most wanted thing I can't realise at the current feature set are proper transitions between types, since I can't check for adjacent tiles or level crossings. Neither I can draw different station graphics.

But only with those features (or more) included into master I can really finish my sets.

Besides that, is there something in particular you want to see included in the canal set? I cannot really work on it until the end of this year, so I can only publish amendments until then, but I can keep it in mind when I finally come to it :)

PS: next version of country roads will feature a furt / river-crossing. However, it has to be placed manually since I can't check adjacent tiles :(

Here is a small preview of fords that can be 'waded across' by off-road trucks (snow graphics):

The speed is limited to ca. 5 kmh for both trucks and boats, for realism and 'cheating' prevention :twisted:

PS: I'm not yet sure if I will provide special graphics for trucks to immerse a water crossing. Might be too much work ;)

I'm guessing we can't drive through water (sprite engine probably wouldn't know how to do that; no alpha support on water), but I think we might be able to fake something like it with a bridge just above the water. Any thoughts?

Welcome to the future :lol:

I also wanted to make my water roads runnable on sea-level (which technically is no problem...), but I can't check for height of the tile, so that feature won't make it into the GRF graphical-wise :(

On a different note ... here is the second part of street covering snow:

Can you make the different waterways separate roadtypes, so that the player isn't forced to choose between them in spite of having 64 roadtype slots? Also, a roadtype which is just an ocean tile graphic would allow you to make ocean waterways.

Are the fords a roadtype or an overlapping object ?

Also, excuse me if that's just a stupid question, but I thought waterbuses would be able to go on both roadtypes at about the same speed ? :|

At the time of creation there were only 16 slots, hence the decisions during initial development. I am considering separating them into several 'styles', but wasn't sure on how to separate all 5 styles: river, concrete, concrete w/ white fence, concrete w/ green fence, concrete w/ flowers.
Do you prefer to have 5 different styles to choose from, or just three with varying decorations by town zone?

I've implemented the fords as a roadtype, because it would have support for both ships and off-road trucks, so you would place it via road build menu.

No, that's not a stupid question ;) Usually 'waterbuses' or amphibious trucks have different speeds for a) road b) off-road c) water, where the last is usually measured in knots and speed-wise considerably slower than on-land. And this is because of pure physics ;)

As for fords, they are shallow so that trucks can pass them, so big ships cannot run over it because they lie too deep in the water. But even small ships would need to slow down I guess, so they wouldn't cast big waves which would endanger crossing trucks or damage the bank the trucks are taking. Also it could be argued everyone would need to pay attention.

Hello Kruemelchen,

Hope you have no objection if Andrew360 and myself use your snow for the RattRoads we are making?

The heavy snow and street covering snow look excellent.

Cheers pal

Please, go ahead, you can use it any way you like ;)
(its GPL'ed)

And thank you, I really like what you guys are doing with RattRoads! I'm following the thread, I'm looking forward using it in my next savegame :3

Thank you Krumelchen very much appreciated.

I bit old fashioned, although your work is GPL I still like to show appreciation and ask still. A bit like when our mum cook a cake we know it for us but still ask her o have a piece :D

All my roads for AuzRattRoads are snow aware using your snow. I used your street covering snow and put the heavy stuff on stop so it shows a splash of snow.

Hope have a test sample available in a day or three. My computer crashed yesterday. I got it going again and lucky not lose any work, but have the boring task loading programs back on.

Cheers

Thought you would like to see your snow being used elsewhere such as with railway lines.

Just a bit of tweaking to do before I can let people try.

Thanks again for being able to use your project.

Hi Garry,

thank you for letting me see that railway preview, I'll definitely use this in my games when it's released! :D

I'm very glad something I made is good enough to be considered reusable by others :wink:

Definitely looking forward AuzRattRoads, actually I'm using your GRFs quite a lot in my games!

I've got some addition for the upcoming release of version 0.3 of this GRF: Frozen River Roads! 8)

... now you can "ship" your cargo through the tundra, using frozen rivers as your natural streets.
But beware, it could melt when spring is coming :twisted: (just kidding)

PS: it looks good as glacier too :wink:

PPS: I'm not sure anyone notices this, but the road types of this set now support soft edges to make for a more natural transition between road types :wink:
(atm waterway road types only, but country roads might follow)

I've included these in the GPL Roadtype Collection, with realistic (very slow) speed limits. Full credits to you, Kruemelchen, since I barely modified your code.
