Just a small question ( I know this isnt the right topic )

Isnt it possible to have a 2 tile wide bridge?
So Trains can run 2 directions but the bridge still looks like normal bridge?

Just thinking out loud

bloody f*** hell, this looks really awesome! and you did the zeelandbrug, yeah!!

I do love a good bridge. "Looks nice " as Purno would say

Thx for the positive comments guys

Nopes. If it would be possible it would already be implemented, I guess

now now astath you can come with me to the nick for that
nnniiiiicccceeeeeeeeee bridges.

Magere Brug, Amsterdam, Road, 1871

That is NOT the Magerebrug.

This is the Magere brug

And this one... when it opened for a train... for the first and last time in history

Nope? Can't you make a bridge so wide, that if you put two of them next to each other they kinda overlap so it looks like one?
A little bit the idea of the newdepots, which you can put next to each other to give the idea of one very long depot. I have no idea if it could work with bridges though...

That'd possibly work, but you'd have one extra 'side' between the tracks.

I have just seen this topic, maybe I can add these bridges to newbridges grf:) What do you think? Awesome work indeed

Please do.

But i need the other direction too, with lighting effects... Otherwise they will look somewhat strange in the TTD world.

TBH, and this is gonna sound very lazy, but I don't feel like drawing much lately, so I'm afraid I will not draw the other view anytime soon.

You use MS Paint, don't you?

Here's a tip for you. Use the Circle tool (on setting 2 or 3) and draw an oval to the correct length and double height, then Skew it 26* Vertically.

The oval will now be almost perfectly Isometric. All you have to do is even up the areas that are 3 pixels long instead of 2 pixels long, and chop off the bottom.

This should make your task far less frustrating.

What I do is draw half a circle, then move it down 1 pixel every 2 pixels, if you get what I mean.

Hey Purno, perhaps you can also add the old Rotterdam Rail-Bridge "de hef" It is, at least in holland a quite unique bridge.

How will you implement it in game? You can just add a bridge like a sprite replacement of the default suspension bridge. That has got the most complex sprite order bridge in TTD. Anyway the bridge should be lifted when a ship comes under it... Thats again an impossible thing.

or have it permanently down and draw it so that a ship can go under it

Pretty much the same result. Except your living in the year 1995. I don't think I've manually Skewed pixels in over a decade.
