Following complaints that trams seem to be out of scale with trains, here is a tramtrack grf with "standard gauge" tracks, the same as the railway.

It also has no poles supporting the wires, to reduce visual clutter.

Very nice, this should solve the problem with trams, which are positioned for right-traffic are not displayed properly on left-traffic.
But railroad tracks with ties would look better I think.

I made some tests some time ago:

maybe I should finish that in far future. :roll:

They look better than the original graphics.

While RK's graphics are nice, I quite like the original tram graphics.

same purely for the size as you cant see the road lines down the middle and they dont seem enbeded in the road.

I think Pikka's graphics are more appropriate. Especially in this country where most trams are actually built to a similar size as the railway tracks.

Problemos

Post by Aideng »

I can't get Trams to work.

trams=on

Running Beta 2.5 V9.

I basically just cannot build them from the depot, and I have all the needed graphics.

Which climates do they work on?

Are you sure you have any tram graphics, the serbian tram set or the german tram set are some good ones. Also wait for the British Tram set (see sig) :P

Well, in Switzerland, we have Trams on meter gauge and on normal gauge. but to be honest, Pikka's track look a bit too big. I think RK's try is promising.

Hi, just downloaded the latest patch from the Nr-TTD website, and I downloaded the German Tram Set as well. I can build all the infrastructure for trams fine, including depots, but when I try to buy a tram, there are no tram vehicles available. How do I get them? (I've had a look at the config, but without any luck).

What year are you in? You might have started the game too early.
You can either edit your config and set the default start year higher or place a sign and type in "cht: year 1950"
And please make sure you have your newgrfw.cfg configured correctly.

Would it be possible to get the NML source for this? Thanks.

EDIT: 2007? Wow. I understand if it's been so long that you no longer have the source.

It still would be nice if we were able to have a fully-completed tram set though. The game isn't dead yet!
