electricty pylons and oil pipelines

[iranair777]

I know oil pipelines has been discussed before, but how about actually voting on it to be implemented or not instead of long threads which reach no conclusion?

also electricity pylons, not so it puts growth in the cities and towns but just so we can be able to power factories etc or just for eye candy?

voting on a feature you'd like will not mean it will get implemented. even if someone does come forward and codes it for you, it does not mean the devs will accept the patch!

isnt OTTD open source?

Yes. You should feel free to download the source and create your own version with oil pipelines.

What I meant was getting permission by my previous reply. I personally have no skills in coding and creating in OTTD and just wondering if anyone else will be intrested in it being implemented

The permission is granted to everyone to download and modify the source. That doesn't mean that everyone can commit to the main repository of OpenTTD. Good patches (both wrt purpose and code quality) may be accepted by them, though.

hihi - what some people understand under the term 'open source' is cute

"it's open source Rubidium! i demand you add some patches, eg [...] else i will ask the forum users to cast their vote, to see what they think you should be doing all day long!"

sheesh ^^

Maybe, this could be simulated with new station tiles with a pipe, and building very long stations.

The disadvantage is that these stations doesn't allow pass roads or rails over them.

I usually make electricity pylons in scenario editor with SAC's landscape grf, and oil pipes with monorail.

darn you beated me to it again benny

sheesh ^^

I'm not demanding but asking if it will be possible for someone to develop this for all of us

if you are going to quote me, then dont quote me out of context!

As far as I can remember, pipelines and electric pylons as real industry extensions have been refused because they are passive transport mode.
As such, once built... there is nothing to do anymore. pretty boring, if you ask me. Oh, of course, it add realism. But that's not a proper reason to code this.

As there are no capacitor/accu. waggons to transport electricity ( ), electric pylons could look nice, of course if someone makes them.

Electricty pylons would need new objects support. I don't know if They will be implemented in OTTD or TTDPatch.

see benny's post, in temperate climate you can use SAC's Landscape, they will provide you the electrical pylons (see my normal screenshot thread+baywater scenario thread, THEY EXIST ALREADY

pipeline = use the oil tanker wagons and/or oil ships, in real life that is a pretty normal way to transport it, and i dont see why you want to change it, for eyecandy you can use the monorail track

From what i heard, newobjets are already supported by Patch
As for OpenTTD, I'm working on it, at the pace of a snail, but still.
I have to admit, there are some sirens that are more attractive for me, currently...

Edit -> paste and pace... not the same

Yes, but new objects will allow use them without loss the current objects.

I didn't know it.

Thanks for your work!

Mh... that would be another annoying object that can't be demolished, if in the way. Kinda like the transmitters that everyone loves

It would look nice though...

Not exactly. The specs allows newobjects to be removable. meaning that if ever the grf writer wishes it so, they can be removed indeed.
