Now that is a good idea ... perhaps OzTransLtd can look into it ...

Hope so!

Oztrans, any luck with the bridge bug I picked up a few days ago, or is it still present in this release?

Hey Ben_K until OzTransLtd gets the bridge thing sorted out put a row of covered platforms between the bridge and the Gare Centrale parking lot.

... [Canadian] Waypoints menu ...

Yes, we can change that to just Waypoints ...

BTW, if I had implemented the waypoints, I would have added a bit switch to the station definition, saying, if set treat this station as a waypoint; then it could appear in any station menu.

This is now a known issue, still present in v0.3a. It will be addressed, we are working on it. But as wallyweb pointed out, for the time being, lengthen Gare Centrale with a row of ordinary platforms (roofed if you want); then place your bridge or other high structures. There are other issues, where the car park decks show up on top of other nearby tiles. Also, as an initial fix already in v0.3a, if Gare Centrale is electrified, I removed the wires and pylons from the platforms; i.e. if you have built an electrified Gare Centrale and you check the station in transparent mode, you won't see the pylons and wires, but the station is still electrified.

... downloading CanStn and the User Guide ...

Just a little hint ... when you download the set, you will also get the User Guide; its included. At this stage, both the separate and included guide are the same. Later on, we most probably will enhance the user guide and include a quick setup guide with the set. It's all about size.

Can anything be done about the smoke from steam engines appearing over car parking?

No, unless we have a bit switch for station tiles, indicating train to behave like being in tunnel or do not show visual effects while on station tile with roof overhead.

BTW, same goes for diesel smoke and sparks, although those are not noticed as much.

In my current game I'm noticing Aegir;s stations and the USSet stations aren't compatible w/the set. I'm seeing some grf conflicts. Does this set need to be loaded before the others to remedy this or is it a compatibility issue?

Technically there shouldn't be any conflicts between newgrf station sets, unless they're sharing station class ID's.

If they are sharing class ID's, then just remove my stations, I'll address conflicts when I get around to my big-ass overhaul of station sets

.

And big-ass an overhaul it shall be. Watch out

Thanks Wally, (although Im very capable of creating solutions that will make it look respectable

). I just wanted to know if it was fixed as there is now a release. Id have thought that having a testing stage would allow all glitches to be fixed before release

I'll make do. I dont really use Gare Centrale in normal use anyway - I only made one for test purposes.

hi,

how can i update the can station platforms from the brownish brick to the grey concrete? it seems to depend on the year when built the station.

Ben_K · Post by **Ben_K** » 20 Jun 2007 08:00

You can read the readme... as Im sure you did before you used the set... and it will tell you in there.

zero1000 · Post by **zero1000** » 20 Jun 2007 08:14

shame on me, i stopped reading after the 'year built' section on pg. 4. so the answer is, there no real solution at the moment.

Ben_K · Post by **Ben_K** » 20 Jun 2007 10:44

You need page 9...

Its not *such* a problem if you are an OTTD player but seems to have issues in TTDP.

You are welcome ... Sorry but I had no way of knowing. It would be interesting to see what you have done. By the way, why are we whispering?

Ben_K · Post by **Ben_K** » 20 Jun 2007 11:05

Sorry, I was in a library at the time!

I use road round the edge for the moment. The only thing that frustrates me is that I cannot build a little bit of road to join the car-parks to the road either (due to build on slopes limits - no support for the road).

Whoa! That librarian is one tough lady. I can't believe she tossed us out like that.

I like what you are doing with the tunnels. I'm a bit of a purist only because I grew up around that station. Is there any way that you can work in the extensions at least on one side?

Ben_K · Post by **Ben_K** » 20 Jun 2007 11:31

Yeah, can you believe her!!

Well, this would be with extensions...Its gets round the road access problem on the sides at least

sadly, I couldn't neaten up the scruffy town built roads as they aren't liking me right now for the massive construction work I've partaken in. You get the idea though

I checked her badge ... It said "Moderator" ... hmm ...

That looks better. Now the drivers will be able to get home in time for supper.

This is giving me a thought ... maybe later today ...

Damn her!!

I wonder if we can persuade lifeblood to put a tiny bit of reflection on the windows? Breathe a bit more life into it. I think it would make a massive difference.

(Compare it to the buildings next to it in my screenshots).

Oh my! She's summoning assistance ... and here they come ... they're planes! They're birds! Nooooooooo! It's Hyronomous and Raichase!

Yes a little reflection would be nice but better to let Lifeblood and OzTransLtd work on that sorter issue first, no?

Then we can start spa... err ... contacting them about the little things.
