North Korean Set - latest update 21/12/2022

[Erato]

After (almost) hitting the 255 for DPRK Stations v2 Platforms, it is now time for DPRK Stations v2 Eyecandy to actually hit 255. Hence I'll introduce a second part to the Eyecandy set. You can safely assume that the Platform and Eyecandy Part 1 NewGRFs won't be updated again any time soon.

Sorry for the dubble post. I can't attach more than 3 files per post.

While I'm double posting anyway. Some minor fixes for DPRK tracks. Again, a separate post due to file limits.

I miss updated file of North Korean Road Vehicles Set (here or on bananas)

+ I'd like to use your trucks in my game, but they have very small cargo capacity. 2 tons (sometimes a little more) are really small and I can't find any use for it...

I have no idea how I forgot to do that. Here you go then.

I used weight capacities as listed by the manufacturer, which just isn't gonna be comparable to trains or the capacities other NewGRF developers have come up with. Most trucks here are simply pickup trucks, they're just not as big.. I did just notice that the lorry's capacity was too low, so I quickly fixed that.

Thanks for qucik reaction and quick problem resolution It's not perfect, but it's better, thanks
I used them in early years when I played with script. It was enough to bring about 2 to 4 tons of food to small towns.

Glad you bring new buses into game and I'm very grateful for trolleybuses. I'm very big fan of them )
I saw you did few of them with more colour options. Do you plan to bring this option for other trolleybuses as well?

[Erato]

Happy new year's! I decided to add snow awareness to things. Stations are next.

DPRK Houses v2 improves on v1 in a few key ways:
- Houses are larger, to match the sizes of the trains.
- Small freestanding homes now include private gardens, as they do IRL.
- Shops are cargo aware
- Construction sites will appear when houses are being built.
- Flats face towards roads
- Most houses no longer consume wood
- More roof colours
- Snow awareness
- Dirt ground ditched

This is lovely!

[perverted monkey]

Thumbs up!

[kamnet]

Great job! Your dedication to these sets are inspirational to both other developers and players alike. Salut!

[nihues]

Beautiful! More snow aware house sets (that can be used together)! All the NK set are top quality!

[Fredinho]

This looks really great. Gonna play around with it.

Just a thought concerning the industry set. Since the town set is snow aware, it would be nice to have a snow-aware industry set as well. And maybe limit the fish and grain farms to only be built below the snowline. Right now it looks a bit odd. Otherwise, excellent work.

[Erato]

Thanks guys. I appreciate it. I've started playing some OpenTTD again, and I feel like the house set could really use some more stuff, so I'll add some stuff later. I want to finish the station building set first. I also found some bugs. I'll upload fixes for those in the next few days.

The industry set is probably not going to come back any time soon. I personally don't play with freight, and making an industry set is quite a large time investment. Sorry about that.

Erato just noticed that the houses don`t produce mail, could you look it?

Thanks, looking at your src, there is an overview png that 1x1 House (light) is by design not accept/produce Mail, only school does, the problem I see is that school are not showing on some cities, so it`s only Pax city... a little bad for play (I use a gamescript that demands mail to growth), even with 5 different house grf, some small cities are mostly NKS and don`t produce mail

I'm extremely sorry that I didn't design my NewGRF with you specifically in mind. It was indeed a deliberate decision, but I reckoned I'd add it if people really want mail. For the way I play, it didn't matter.

Added some more liveries to the trolleybuses. I found a lovely website with a bunch of pictures of North Korean trolleybuses so I got in the mood to make some more liveries.

Thanks, looking your src It`s not hard to create a grf fork either and change mail settings (just never compiled any grf but easily found where to change mail settings if needed).

Not a real problem for me, as I use more houses grfs (but found this to be a potential problem for my normal play -- I like using a network for cargo and another for mail+pax on separate express tracks (and trucks/bus/trams for both too), and don`t use any non snow aware grf as I love snowy stuff, so this new and very beautiful set add more variety specially for small houses. I`ll try to change grf order to see if I get less houses too and get back more variety, if works fine for me that way.

Edit: changing the order of houses grf list helped with the problem, even a 100-200 pop city accepts/produce mail for me now.
