Patch: Build UNDER Slopes

[PikkaBird]

That's a lot of IIRC.

[XeryusTC]

You can't always be sure .

Who on earth said 'crap' to this patch? Cant see how you could come to that conclusion?! Ahhh well. I like it

Probably a joker or someone that doesn't understand what it did.

[MarkyParky]

Great feature, that can finaly practicaly bring subways to life, it is easy to dig up a station in the middle of the city with this without need to make som big demolishing.

Great feature,

Indeed

it is easy to dig up a station in the middle of the city

Unfortunately, this is someting totally unrelated. Underground stations will require a hell of a lot more work than this patch. The map array, as it is, needs a big workout in order to support any kind of underground manipulation/construction. Tunnels are using special technics that are not suited for what you're suggesting. By far. Who knows... maybe one day...

[DeletedUser21]

I think that what he ment was that you can just destroy two tiles of building, lower the land and build a station on it connected with tunnels. It's not really a subway but see it as some sort of subwaystation without a roof.

[MarkyParky]

Yes, thats what I ment, now you can destroy only few buildings instead of half of the city... and also it looks better, only tunel entrance and station is visible, instead of whole "valey". And make it look like substation with transparent roof is only a matter of station GRF

Very nice metro implementation
Maybe Purnos metrorails should include metro stations like this, but they should cover the metrorail more

[MJS]

Plus signals in the tunnel entrance... Would those be any easier than signals in tunnels?

[Ameecher]

I suppose you could draw something and code it in a similar way to the Gare Centrale in the latest version of the Canadian stations so that the platforms appear to be built over creating an "underground" station.

Ev you should make the patch compatible for the trunk last revision, so it may be evaluated by devs and maybe it gets into trunk

The actual code ( and going to be 0.6.0 ) has changed a lot since 0.5.0 ( 0.5.1/0.5.2 are just bug fixes releases ), checkout the trunk.

if you use the level land tool to lower all the land around a straight piece of rail, how does it decide which side to lower? as obviously it can't lower both...

[MJS]

I guess it doesn't work with leveling. (The autoslope in the Patch doesn't work with leveling either, but that's because the Patch doesn't contain levelling ).

This patch brings up a simple way to solve the signal in tunnel problem for psuedo-subways....

Signals at stations!

If you could put a signal at the start of a station (pre-signal exit by default) why would you could really simplify you're networks.

And it would be like real life. Wynyard, Town Hall, Milsons Point all have signals at the start and end of the platform.

Oh, and FANTASTIC patch. What I've always wanted.

Awesome feature, I've been dreaming of it!

Looking forward to the patch against trunk. (I assume you'll replace IsNewStationBullsh.. with something more descriptive? Heh.) I'll definitely help with play-testing and code review.
