This have been discussed before, but not sure if it has been ilustrated this way. Don't you find it would be nicer having the water at the same level of the land? It looks more natural to me.
This is a grf file that reproduce this, but, obviously, it's not an issue that can be reached only graphically.

i thougth it was canalsides, good job, now we need only the coast corner support

It is definitely an interesting idea. There appear to be some offset problems with the canal tiles and the lock tiles. Other than that, I agree w/ Wolf01 - hard to express a true opinion before the corner support is done.

Great work, though!

Well, for me it looks a bit like ... the water will be flooding the nearby land in any moment. So the water have same level as the land or is one level deeper? Not sure how flooding will be handled in this ...

perhaps it should be "a pixel or three" lower? looks promising, but looks like it may flood any moment now...

I would be happy with side-less canals, even if it only worked in the scenario editor, so I can place lakes and rivers. (I have seen the threads on dev of this- just haven't messed with "nightlies" yet.) The aqueducts would be cool, as there were several on the original Erie Canal.

This looks great :)

I love it ;

If the coast corner support is added, they will be part of my games forever :shock:

Wouldn't the corner problem(s) be solved by letting the beach be in the water tile instead of the slope tile? Or is that impossible?

There is another poll for this here:

http://www.tt-forums.net/viewtopic.php? ... ht=#585389

leppka it would be better if there was a poll with three options (flat, half and remain as it is), instead of your opening a new thread asking a similar thing, still it is your choice, and I do not intervene.

yer, i thought it was already posable to use the canal tool to prevent water from flooding land on sea level.

*current coast
+locks (the old ones have to stay for canal-canal locks
+add corner coast (the ones that don't exist yet)
+add whitewater front during flooding
+add lower brick walls/quays (4 instead of 8 pixels)
the graphic part is the easy part, it just the code part which need devs involved.

+not allowing road, rail, tunnels on coast

bridges might be different, and housing in the edge, and rails and roads....
