Post by MadMarc81 »

C'mon guys, can't someone make somethig flash for a city like one large dome for say 4 tracks or something, anything?

Maybe a passenger overpass?

Yeah, as large like the dome in Amsterdam Centraal would be fun to see.
But wasn't it impossible to do?
Cause I do like the idea.
I'll try search for a minute...

Edit: Look what I found.

Those glass stations will be quiet handy to make such a station.

Don't know if I can just post it here, but delete if I may not.

Cool, maybe if they were put together in a row (ie. 4 tracks only, or 2 tracks only) then they would be a station type of their own, and could have large roofs.

Not sure how to do it or would try myself :roll:

I'm intrigued to know how it's possible to build extra non-track buildings like those towers. But i been away from the Lomo scene for a while, so i've missed a lot, lol.

The extra buildings are still on tracks, the graphics have been changed so they look like buildings.

Surely that would mean that trains would go straight through them

They will, but not if you don't put them on the section of track with the buildings on it.

Yeah if you put the track with buildings on at right-angles to the normal tracks.... very nice, that's good.

To be able to build "normal" buildings would be another good way to do this. Probably not possible though.

Well i figure that just a simple script thing to be able to build specific normal buildings would be a start. They don't need to DO anything, just to be buildable to start with, and ownable by the player, of course. Then can move on to things like effects (expanding the station's catchment, etc) later.
Is this possible? I've not had chance to look into it yet....
