Patch: Town road layout

[skidd13]

I just got an idea. Would it be possible to make cities build bridges or tunnels when crossing railways?

Sure it'd be possible. But ATM I' working still on fixing the behavior of the town growth, to something less stupid. Moreover I hope I can simplify the code so that it need less performance.

Yes, build small city, bulldoze it completely, then add your own street layout and then "expand" the city for letting it build the buildings

That does not work because city builds its own new roads resulting two problems:

a) roads already build becomes messy
b) city keeps expanding new roads so it loses its premade shape

What'd you done so far is one of my favourite patches
Good work

The town road cleanup patch should be functional complete now!

• Features
• Nicer town surface (no more roads leading into water/houses/etc.)
• Better town bridges
• No more strange behavior on slopes (grid layouts)
• Roadworks will cleanup the road tiles.

I hope you enjoy the patch.

Latest patch is availible at Flyspray -> http://bugs.openttd.org/task/1090

Preview: No manual road improvement!!!

Will the patch correct already wrongly-built town roads?

So yes.

(I didn't know this was your patch, and thank you so much for it! It forms the basis for my games already. I'm basically looking to make the 3x3 grid (Which I always use) to synchronize with all the other towns grids.

My town road cleanup patch(Take a look to a few posts earlier) does this, so no need to write more stuff. It' isn't in trunk so, there's still some optimisation needed but it's fully working.

great thanks man

[Dave_McMahon]

I've never applied a patch before erm.. How do I do it? (the

page look complicated!

Can someone point me in right direction? (I see from the fly spray page that you are upto version 10926
Is the 10926 patch compatible with latest nightlys? (i'm on 10975 and always update daily)

Thanks again for the patch Benedikt.

there you go dave

Build OTTD

no, AFAIK you have to use the revision number of the patch, to the revision number of the OTTD nightly build.

if i'm wrong could someone state otherwise !!

thanks 0004tom

[Dave_McMahon]

Think i'm gonna wait until it is in the nightlys but thanks for the tip

If the parts of the code affected by the patch are unchanged in different revisions it may work just fine, but using the matching revision gives the best chances.

There should be some sort of option to have a 2x2 grid and 3x3 grid at the same time sort of layout. Sure towns use grids, but not that much griding. Using a 2x2/3x3 grid layout at the same time would both the aesthetically pleasing, as well as still pretty efficient.

Take a look at my signature! ->random town layouts. It's not quite the same but...

This is a great patch. I wish the do_not_build_inconnective_roads_r*****.patch was also like this.

[chrissicom]

This is a great patch which I have tested a lot lately and I am really happy with it. If you're ok with it I'd like to add it to ChrisIN

Your map of Britain will be most likely the most dull place in the world... Although a Transport Tycoon's paradise for sure.
