Re: [OTTD] Subway stations disguised as parks [concept]
And is it possible to add support for version without signals in tunnels path?

Re: [OTTD] Subway stations disguised as parks [concept]
I tried a tile that stretches out over 2 tiles, but it starts to glitch at that distance, and the signals poke out too:
Fortunately, even without the signals in tunnels patch you can build these stations as long as you use path-based signals. Trains will wait at the nearest safe point, so if there is a signal at the other ends of the tunnels it would work fairly well. Also, with the 2CC metro trains quite a lot people can be transported with only a few trains:
Not perfect, but it still allows for 4 trains (more possibly) to run on that bit of track, with 1 down-town small-footprint station.
Edit
It would need two more tiles to cover the SW tunnel entrance.

I can also place signals on diagonals parts.

Re: [OTTD] Subway stations disguised as parks [concept]
This concept works fairly well. There are a few graphical glitches due to the fake park tiles conflicting with the street lights. If instead of roads houses are used this glitch becomes very obvious. You can see the street light disappearing at Getminster South.
Underneath it looks like this:
In the future the fake extended tile hack may become redundant if it becomes possible to do more with tunnel entrance graphics from within the NewGRF. Still in any case, tips to prevent those little glitches from occurring are more than welcome.

And for future reference, the NFO, PCX and GRF.

Re: [OTTD] Subway stations disguised as parks [alpha release]
Just wondering if we're going to see stations and tiles to cover SW/SE as well.

Re: [OTTD] Subway stations disguised as parks [alpha release]
that is not possible, due to the way tiles are drawn
Re: [OTTD] Subway stations disguised as parks [alpha release]
Ah, after some playing around, yes, I see what you're saying. Then what is needed are longer tiles, ones that extend diagonally. Supermop implemented such a plan when he recently developed his Modular Sheds.

Re: [OTTD] Subway stations disguised as parks [alpha release]
hi, i can t wait to try those nice metro station...
and also i was wondering if in any way it could be possible to have bus or truck station on the top... or even more crazy an other train station !!!
edit : also a road tile(with metro station under) usable for road traffic could be really cool

You could build a bridge over the station depression - I don't know if the park tiles would adjoin it nicely - perhaps some special bridge sprites?

Re: [OTTD] Subway stations disguised as parks [alpha release]
Can you even have bridges over stations?
Re: [OTTD] Subway stations disguised as parks [alpha release]
Short answer: No.
Long answer: Not with unmodified build (afaik).

Re: [OTTD] Subway stations disguised as parks [alpha release]
so currently does it have any trees over it, or is it just a plain piece of grass...?
EDIT: Don't answer, I'll test it out first
EDIT: ok, it's just grass, cool enough

I was thinking that you'd build over the gap in front and behind the station where the signals areVitus wrote:Short answer: No.
