Would it be possible to switch 'drive on left' after start?

In Sweden we changed (road vehicles) from 'drive on left' to 'drive on right' in 1967. Is it even remotely possible to make such a change after a game is started?

I'm not expecting an automatic change at a certain year, but it would be really nice to be able to switch manually, and have to fix up all the one way streets etc.

To be super correct, this would also need the player to rebuild all the buses to have the doors on the other side (lots of new sprites)...

Stop *ALL* road vehicles in a depot. Save game. Decompress game. Hex edit game. Compress game. Load game.

As for one-way, how is this supposed to be automatically corrected?

OK, thanks. Then this boils down to the new suggestion: a button for "Send all road vehicles to depot"

It wasn't supposed to. The smiley was trying to indicate how fun I would have when changing all the one-way streets around, just as it was in real life here 1967.

OK, not a very serious/important suggestion, I just thought I would ask.

I don't get it... why would a one-way street have to be changed when the traffic road side changes??

Example:

Code: Select all

Old:                         New: (or vice versa)
-----------------------      ----------------------
 ------>                                   <------
               <------        ------>
---------     ---------      --------     ---------
         |   |                       |   |
         | ^ |                       | ^ |
         | | |                       | | |
         | | |                       | | |
         |   |                       |   |
---------     ---------      --------     ---------
 ------>                                   <------
               <------        ------>
-----------------------      ----------------------

So why would the north-south street be have to changed at all?

It wouldn't. The problem is when a single two-way street splits into two one-way streets.

RVs do not have collision detections. That would look ugly, but that should work

Code: Select all

Yabbut that wouldn't work so well IRL.

And you would have to reverse it if you had complicated entry/exit junctions to highways.

There is a button like that at the bottom of the vehicle list menu.

No, there isn't. Pay attention to which section you're posting in.

Oh yes...you're right...sorry

I always go into TTDpatch sections instead of OpenTTD
