Without permission? You mean the feature isn't under the GPL? Permission isn't, or shouldn't be, an issue.

Real reason is simply that, for whatever reason, an OpenTTD maintainer saw fit to remove it. If you want it back in, feel free to knock up your own version from all the code that's been published so far - it's GPL, after all.

OK, permission in the common-courtesy sense. Of course, legally, almost anything short of selling it (while claiming it as your own work) can happen.

Bridge Over A Lot Of Thing - short name for this should be "BOALOT" or "BOLOT" - what do you think about this name , people ? I think it's nice and can be used in discussion :D.

"BOLOT" or "BOALOT" ? Which one do you like more ? :D Personally i like "BOLOT" more- its shorter :D

I will keep calling it this way from now on.

You may be in a minority... Ive generally heard it called New Bridges. Simple.

I agree.
But I still want to know if Magic Bridges is making progress.
I would love to have this patch in the MiniIN!

Firstly the propername would be as it is now: Bridges over a lot of things. :wink:

But I'm nitpicking again.
A nice name would be: Realistic Bridges.

Or 'RB' in short. :D

sorry, The correct name *is* MAGIC BRIDGE.

I'm the one who called it "brigdes over *a lot of things*" (but in fact I really would like to have "brigde over *everythings*"... but It's not the case)

as it's now : it's "brigde over *few things*"

instead of pooling for a name, It would be interresting to see if progress have been made ?

I don't use the nightly builds. When will we see this feature in an OpenTTD update?
