Town zoning different areas size?

Post by temporal8 »

Is it possible to modify the size of the different zones? I want there to be a more compact center (red) surrounded by a larger area of ​​low-rise houses. (yelow, orange, white...)

The screenshots are captured with Citymania.

OpenTTD already has an add-on for that.

Thanks for reply, correct me if I'm wrong but i think Improved Town Layouts use the original game graphics and it´s not compatible with custom Townsets.

NewGRFs place houses according to their own rules, and cannot modify how other NewGRFs place houses. It's not possible for a NewGRF to modify the TTD town zones, but it is possible to decide house placement based on other factors, including effectively coding their own zoning system.

Pikka is correct. Improved Town Layouts (now called ITL Houses to avoid confusion over what it actually does, although I haven't updated the thread...) is simply a house set which has its own logic for where each house is allowed to spawn. To create smaller, denser downtowns, it limits the number of skyscrapers based on the total number of houses in the town, and also requires them to be within 2 tiles of another skyscraper. There's a lot of interesting logic you can do with the 'construction_check' callback to shape your cities how you please.
