Hey, amazing work with the industrial track set! Is there any chance you'll add support for the "Standard Gauge Modern" North Korean tracks?

I'm aware that there's a similar NewGRF on BaNaNaS, but it only has houses and for some reason it's year dependent. I don't understand year dependent objects, it's dumb.

All houses and industry tiles have been translated into object tiles. I might make some new object tiles, but currently there's pretty much no original tiles.

I don't think the one with all gauges uses the standardized roadtype labels, I looked and the other set ("omni-gauge", if that's what you were trying) seems to predate that part of the standard. Not sure why it hasn't been updated. To be honest, it would be great if it did, all-gauge train stations would be really handy.AdmiralEllis wrote: 09 Sep 2024 15:41 Hi Erato,
Strange request because of the unusual set of NewGRFs that I am using... Would it be too much to ask for you to add an option to the industrial dual gauge trackset that doesn't have the industrial ground? In other words, just normal dual gauge tracks? I'm having trouble using some other dual gauge track sets because of introduction dates and vehicle compatibility problems, but the industrial track set works perfectly no matter what I throw at it. It just looks rough when used in non-industrial settings, particularly with non-full-tile-width bridges. If the answer is no, I understand, but the addition would be greatly appreciated.
I was actually messing around with the Japanese track sets--I might look into "omni-gauge" since trouble continues to brew:desertbus95 wrote: 28 Sep 2024 05:49I don't think the one with all gauges uses the standardized roadtype labels, I looked and the other set ("omni-gauge", if that's what you were trying) seems to predate that part of the standard.

I wouldn't recommend it. I got in contact with it's author, he's not as bad as you'd think but he has explained that he was hoping to introduce a project to be the successor to omni-guage. The track set in question, however, has reached a dead end without any avenues to properly receive bug reports; needless to say it's a controversial situation. You're simply better off not touching it or it's source code and make a replacement from scratch, the moment you involve this individual's projects it causes everyone to go nuts.AdmiralEllis wrote: 23 Oct 2024 21:17I was actually messing around with the Japanese track sets--I might look into "omni-gauge" since trouble continues to brew:desertbus95 wrote: 28 Sep 2024 05:49I don't think the one with all gauges uses the standardized roadtype labels, I looked and the other set ("omni-gauge", if that's what you were trying) seems to predate that part of the standard.

I've run into another problem, though: I'm trying out SETS (https://brickblock1.github.io/Standardi ... Set--SETS/) for my narrow gauge tracks and if I include the industrial track set at all it takes precedence, and the SETS narrow gauge goes unused in favor of the dual gauge tracks. Since I'm only using the industrial track set for its functioning dual gauge, this is suboptimal.
