Wow... nicely done.

[EDIT] Is it possible to achieve the 'drop' as seen in '4' anywhere on the map, or only when next to existing structures? E.g., can you just drop a hillside where you want a 'cliff' look for your rail line? [/EDIT]

I'm impressed

I didn't read the diff but the screenies are showing a lot of promise

Great! This gives the game another realistic aspect. I like constructional realism

(If it were up to me, it should also be possible to build bridges over more than 1 level of height difference. Bridges like these are found much in Switserland and the hilly regions of Germany, where they are aquaducts at the same time.)

I guess that a properly programmed AI might benefit from this patch as well. My first impression is that it might be easier to develop an AI with this patch than without. But then again, patches usually become optional.

Looks promising, did you try to patch it against trunk or nightly?

Ah nice, as I've said on IRC earlier today

i hope for your patch to find its way to trunk very easy

Sweet work. Thanks for this

I wanna see this in OpenTTD.

This deserves to be into the trunk, remindes me of Locomotion.

It really amuses me...
Everyone is begging for this patch to be included in trunk, only one person noticed that the patch is done against 0.5.2 (aprat from EV), which was still done in C, while trunk is in C++ (ok, not entirely C++, but still).

In other words, it cannot go in trunk as it is.

As for the patch itself, I like it very much

Very well done

Very nice, top work Ev.

Now, as belugas said, if you could just update it to C++ so it can be considered for inclusion into trunk.

Post by **PikkaBird** » 20 Jun 2007 06:36

This is essentially the same thing as autoslope in TTDP?

I would like to call the honorable gentleman (either Ev or belugas, whichever is the more honorable

)'s attention to callback 3C.

Nifty! It would make plowing trough cities a lot easier!

I've wanted the ability to tunnel down and accross, the opposite to making a bridge from a slope to ground, with a tunnel so you dont have to landscape the area for the tunnel to dodge an industry city or station etc.

Could this be adopted for that use?

If you mean something like this, then yes. If you mean can you put a tunnel entrance on a flat piece of ground, then no.

I think i can live with the above example, does the same job i suppose.

Cool patch by the way.

People seem to forget that we once had this feature in trunk, although it was somewhat buggy, it only worked for raising land IIRC and it didn't work on some tile configurations. I think that is why it was removed, and it was Darkvater who did that IIRC, he also said that he would re-implement the feature but without the bugs IIRC.
