Done.

I added some behavior regarding the editor mode. Is the popup window ok, or should it not appear? You'll find it if you try to enable the no more roads option during editor mode.

I must say this is a nice patch

I hope it get's in trunk

I read somewhere in the forums that it will get in the trunk, it may need some coding style changes, not sure.

EDIT: I compiled it, and when I try to load a saved game (saved with the last version compiled by me) it shows this error:

I can't reproduce this. But I think you saved it with the previous version of the patch and tryed to load it with the current one. So this is impossible cause of the recent savegame bump.

Hi there, i got your patch, it worked and i think it is great. But I noticed, and thought I'd tell you, that with your version of open ttd and this road patch, the "transparent buildings" tick menu doesnt work, so you cant use it. Hope this helps. Bye

Do you use a binary or the patch. Both are a bit old. Binarys a bit more. I'll update the patch again, but I think/hope it'll get in trunk in the near future.

EDIT: Patch Updated

Perhaps this patch could be somehow incorpriated into my 'Found a Town' patch (which should be in trunk one sometime soonish i hope)

It could be like a GUI for that patch, so that when you click 'Found a Town' (under the town directory button), it pops up with a GUI asking the town road style.

I'm already working on a town specific layout selection. But that's future. The first part of the patch should be in trunk soon. After that I'll develop and publish the rest. I was thinking of a global and partitial selection. So if the patch option says random they will grow random but if not the specific layout will be used. For default towns it'll be a cheat option to select the custom layout, for your company towns it should be selectable as you say.

It's now in trunk, on revision r9779.
Been nice to work with you, skiddl13

Why isn't 'no roads' available in the scenario editor?

I think because it makes no sense to have them there.

BTW, one of the best patches EVER to enter the trunk.

I think it make a lot of sense if you want to create a city with your own, specific road layout. You can disable roads then and expand city as much as you want.
So please, add no roads to scenario editor.

It has been a dev request, so I disabled them.

To your own layout:
Its a lot easier to code your own layout now.
Have a look in the vribbed patch. This patch tells you how to add in general a new town layout.
Basicaly the code should be placed in GetTownRoadGridElement() in town_cmd.cpp the rest is only for naming, etc...

CMircea · Post by **CMircea** » 05 May 2007 20:02

In trunk? COOL! I'll update right away!

knedle · Post by **knedle** » 05 May 2007 20:07

Hm... I think I have some idea about creating special files with different layout of roads.
This way I can create a lot of different grids and then randomize them to have each city different.

EDIT:
Oh, actualy it's possible to disable roads in editor, you just have to start new scenario, save it, start game with it, change options to no roads and then save it as savegame, change extension from .sav to .scn, and load to editor.

belugas · Post by **belugas** » 05 May 2007 23:56

I've already started work on something like that.
The random thing, i mean...
As for the loading of layouts, it would be possible through an un-written spech of grf.
Nothing else.
And no support is actually available.

Referring the random road layouts. I made a small 10 min hack.

I'm not sure if the design is the right one (set and reset t->road_layout). Value isn't saved yet. I'll do that if the basic design is better. So only for alpha testing!!!

EDIT:
Updated.
Now it's fully usable

I updated the random thing. Now its at a usable state.
