Dutch stations set

[lobster]

That looks excellent.

[Purno]

Reminds me how ugly my 1pixel misallignment of the lightpoles looks. It was intended to work in a way that two adjacent lightpoles (each 2pix wide) would overlap and form a 2pix lightpole with lights on both sides. However, thanks to a 1pix misallignment, the poles are now 4pix wide.

All the damage 1 pixel can do...

lol, no worries. Will be ok when I make the island tiles.

[FooBar]

That looks great! I like it a lot!

Pfew, those overpasses were a bit difficult...

Super work. IMO this is what every station set needs!

[Badger]

Oh nice,very nice, very nice indeed!

[SwissFan91]

Is it possible for the middle parts of the bridge to be waypoints? Or does that mindf*ck the whole code?

Very nice to see some more development on one of my favorite station sets

I have a small suggestion for you.
Imagine if you want to replace the road crossings with bridges. It could be nice if you could make stairs from the platform to the roadbridges, so passengers could access the station from the bridge.
I know that this suggestion could cause some glitches with some of the bridge sets, but I hope it's possible to find a good solution.

Maybe it's nice to have a fence on the oute platforms, like Can stations and new stations. I like you stairs at the end. Maybe an levelcossing with ahob, like many smaller stations have?

Like Beilen for instance:


Also, to prevent people falling off the outer platforms you often see the infamous black/red fencing or shrubbery along the backside (Hilversum Sportpark):

Well, those middleparts are single stationtiles. So you could just build them as a seperate station and give trains passing them orders to go non-stop-via these stationtiles. That way it works the same as waypoints. I think that is the easiest way right now.

I like that idea! Should be possible to make with the graphics that are available now. It might not look good with every bridgetype, but it should be ok for some of them. I'll give that a try after I have finished with the current graphics.

Well yes, but that would mean drawing those fences/shrubberies on all the tiles and then code those tiles. I'm not really looking forward to doing that. However it is a nice project for an upcoming artist/coder to do, to get some experience with coding/drawing/compiling to GRF. So, anyone interested?

Maybe an levelcossing with ahob, like many smaller stations have?

Well, I designed the stairs at the end such a way that they link up to levelcrossings with roads (as you can see in the picture that I posted earlier), depending on the GRF's you use, there can be any kind of crossing barriers then.
There should be an AHOB visible on the outer tracks, but I saw that those AHOBs don't have a boundingbox and therefor got hidden by my stairs. Which is strange... Don't levelcrossings have boundingboxes or is it a bug in the Dutch Rail Furniture GRF?
That said, I do like the idea that there should also be a stationtile with those. However, it would be even nicer to have a tile that is train-aware and would close the AHOB when a train passes through. Sadly my coding experience isn't good enough to code that... So, hopefully someone else will pick that idea up.

And finally, thnx for all the positive feedback! But remember without the excellent work that has been done by the developers of the original GRF, I would not be able to do this!! Hooray for them

Do we know that guy then ?

Change the station class to "WAYP" and suddenly you have proper waypoints.

@Hyro: I did use the plural form

@Michael: thnx for the tip, didn't realise it was so easy

LOL, I was never involved. Just teasing Purno a bit .

Ehm... I guess I may have done a bit of the initial artwork, but the most epic artwork was done by other artist, as I kinda suck at drawing buildings. And coding stations was said to be pretty nasty back in the days, so don't miscredit the coders

So ehm, I didn't contribute that much, but well...

Did more than you did
*runs*

No need to run (or hide).

Quast65: is it possible to have staircases appear only when a road is adjacent to a platform tile?

[Quast65]

They are all single tile pieces, so you can choose yourself when you want a staircase. Don't want it, don't build it

Yes, but we all know the bad habits of towns laying roads where we don't want them. So I was thinking .
