EDIT not relevant

Cannot recreate your small tunnel situation.
please explain in more detail.

This is what I mean (side view)

IMO this might open the path to other nice junctions etc, and if we might get crossing bridges too it should be the same thing, with the top bridge longer than the bottom bridge
We already have crossing tunnels in trunk since long time; only thing is that it's considered a cheat option. This patch should definately not change this, if the author wants to have any chance for trunk inclusion.

The point is (what I reported above and hackalittlebit already fixed) that it was possible with some dirty tricks abusing this patch for making crossing tunnels without having activated the crossing tunnels cheat.

---
If you'd like to have crossing tunnels available in multiplayer (i.e. changing it from a cheat to an advanced setting), this would be a thing for a seperate patch. Keep in mind though that it was decided to make this a cheat for a reason - it's totally unexplainable how you can have two really short tunnels crossing. So just moving it from cheats to advanced settings won't do the trick - you'd have to implement something to make sure the entrances of the tunnels are sufficiently far from each other.

Wouldn't this be a topic for a patch by you, wolf? ;)

new post to answer hackalittlebit's post:

uhm, I haven't said anything about trains crashing, or did you just test that for yourself?

here's the "small tunnel problem" in steps to create:

Step1: create this kind of terrain and build large undersea tunnel (with the newest version, you have to create that little island in the middle beforehand)

Step2: create this small tunnel
chunnel smalltunnel_2.png
chunnel smalltunnel_2.png (47.34 KiB) Viewed 8402 times
=> the two tunnels are crossing each other.

Strangely, building the small tunnel suddenly leads to me being able to raise some land in positions where it should be prohibited by the large (undersea) tunnel! Before building the small tunnel, I was forbidden to raise there, but now it suddenly works!

Wolf the situation of a tunnel in between a tunnel is not possible (at this moment). Train would come out of wrong entrance.
You can however build a bridge in between.

Ok Roujin did most of your requests.

Pls check for more bugs.

Known issues: The moment the passing_water switch is on more suitable terrain is required.
Having a look at that now.

Hi hackalittlebit!

Thank you for implementing this :)

I have not tested the patch yet, but if it works fine I think it is a good addition to the possibilities of the game :D

I suppose these tunnels behave like ordinary tunnels, but how difficult will it be to give them some extra specifications? They really need to be balanced towards the bridges, and ideally, it should be possible to alter the specs via newGRF. For realism, trains entering the tunnel should go down some levels. This will make trains slow down when going up on the other side, so bridges will be better where they can be built. Maybe it can even be done graphically, so that you see that trains go down when entering a tunnel?

Hi Dimme;

You see I listened to your suggestions in signals in tunnels V7 r15294http://www.tt-forums.net/viewtopic.php?p=754341#p754341.
All these patches I make just for one purpose and that is to get some kind of signals - in - tunnels patch into trunk.
The reason I made this one is just to give some extra playing dimension.
I like to look at trains on single track (and bringing them back by tunnel).
At this moment I would like people to test it in order to submit this one to trunk asap.
I don't think I should make major changes at this moment to this patch.
It looks nice like this and that it fits in the overall game philosophy.
There is another reason for this patch and that is in the future being able to connect various maps together like model railroaders are doing now also.
With a tunnel it should be possible to overcome the synchronization problems( hide train, transfer train etc.)

I must say I really like your patch. The tunnels fits beautifully in my southern UK game as a replacement for my severn bridges at Bristol :). Like you said, it fit's with the design philosophy of openttd it is a logical addition to the current tunnels.

Sure, no problem :D

Just trying to be constructive in order to get this patch in trunk. To show the opportunities. But you're right, it is probably best not to make it too big anyway. There are plenty of possibilities to alter the behaviour in later patches, and people can choose to play with it or not.

I'd really like to see this one in trunk :)

Would be cool if you could build tunnels by selecting first the starting tile then the finishing one, but that could lead to unwanted situations like skipping the crossing briges restriction or similar. Similar things could be done with bridges but it would not be possible because of the graphics. At least until someone makes a modular bridges patch, aka RCT style, but then again there's the wormhole stuff again.

hi all,

can someone provide even a working ziped Open TTD folder with the under water tunnel and signals simulation on bridges and tunnels please for those like me who don't understand nothing of patching even if you draw an explicit scheme of how to do it. Pretty Pleeeeease! :bow:
