Signals in tunnels and on bridges V3.02 r24031

[DJ Nekkid]

it's "raumabanen" btw

[SirkoZ]

Haha, I can recognize that!
But back to subject: Shouldnt this patch be renamed to "Teleporting tunnels"? I haven compiled this patch, but it doesn't seem like this patch makes it possible to make signals in tunnels? Correct me if I am wrong.

It's a simulation of signals in tunnels no less.

[HackaLittleBit]

I think all that above is possible (oil in Norway)

see http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Big_Hill#T ... al_Tunnels
but first I have to get this hack working without a hitch.
The above wormhole, tunnel, Teleporting, or whatever you want to name it thing may be the next stage (seeing tunnel entrance and exit as depots linked together maybe).

What?

With the undersea tunnels and the double-mountain tunnels, I see logic in that the tunnels, past the entrance, are actually changing their z level.
Like so

Much better then attempting to render it in ASCII!

Well - even if it's not possible to build Oil Rigs in such high lakes - you can get oil in Temperate in good amounts - just use my Oil_Wells only_decrease neutraliser (new)GRF (found in my Sig.). Oil Wells can now normally increase production when properly serviced.

Really nice screenshot, BTW.

Ok think I am ready.
realease 7.0

I took out a feature for making for example tunnels under water or between to mountaintops.
I will propose that later in another article.
I have completely rewritten the code and tried to come to the OTTD standard.
It has been extensively tested and I can’t find mistakes.
Maybe some small changes have to be added and I am waiting for your reactions.
See the first page of this post for a description of the patch and to for downloading.
Hope you enjoy it.

P.S. Next project

Looks cool. What exactly am i supposed to see?

Looks like he's got very long docks on there... Maybe supporting multiple ships (that don't overlap) just speculation

[nm2588]

In the upper right you see a tunnel to nowhere. Guess that is what you are looking for...

[Benny]

Please read the first post, nm2588.

[HackaLittleBit]

Edit: Update coming soon (removed bottleneck)

Roest, JacobD88, nm2588

Forget the photo.
Made a mistake.
Thought I was ready.
Sorry!

Ok made new release. See first page for detaileshttp://www.tt-forums.net/viewtopic.php?f=33&t=41260
Took overtaking feature out.
Trains stay behind each other.
Two way traffic possible.

Please be so kind and test it.
The patch starts to mature.
It is no longer a cheat I think it should be included in normal game play.
To do so needs inclusion of option in Advanced Settings.
I would like to know where?
So please give me your reactions.

Regards HackaLittleBit

P.S. The compiled version has underwater tunnels included.

[HackaLittleBit]

Ok version V10 Now lightning fast
Removed bottleneck.

[HackaLittleBit]

Version v12

No Known bugs anymore.
I´am starting to think about flyspray

Signals to be used are block or path signals.
Have exhaustively tested it.

To allow two way traffic through the tunnel you have to set up the signals like in the picture.
1: one way path signal.
2: one way block signal.

Trains have 2 tiles space between each other inside the tunnel
See pic to get an idea

Pfiew
Had some problems with the pics there.
Ok Here pic of Advanced options

Tiny bugfix

max windows to open when clicking on tunnel entrance is now 20.

[Toni Babelony]

This looks really great! It's one step closer to making realistic high-capacity subway-layouts! Okay, cornering is a different story, but that's okay. This is already something anticipated by many.

Thanks man and good luck! I hope it gets implemented soon.

This is nice patch...
My play style is just get moust cargo to one factory or mill and run A LOT train on same tracks. Signal in tunnels help A LOT in this.
Any idea where to find patch that enables tunnels under sea. It would be much better idea to build tunnels under sea that those slow bridges.

[Kanibal]

Am I missing something really obvious in how to construct the under sea tunnels? Even in the demonstration save (where they work flawlessly) I cant seem to get it to build them.

It's a great path, but either I'm just being exceptionally thick, or it could use instructions...

WEll now you mention it I could not find way to make undersea tunnels at all. But somehow i got impression that it was removed from latest version... Offcourse someone could correct if im wrong.
