Truck station GRF's?

Hello,

I've been playing a road vehicle only game for a while.
Trains bored after playing with them for such a long time, and afer discovering one way roads and viewing other people's magnificent creations I came to like these type of games!

The only thing that bothers me is, I can't seem to find any GRF files that contain decent lorry and bus stops.
Is this because there just arn't that many people intrested in making them? Or am I just to blind to find them? :D

Thx in advance!

GRFs can change only RV station graphics, not behavior right now.

You can find improved graphics in the OpenGFX package. Also there are imo their 32bpp/extra zoom variants (check the EZL mega pack).

Problem is that the game only allows for one design of road stop. This doesn't make it really interesting to create a specialised grf for them. Most road set come with their own road stop designs though.

I agree that the road stations (and depots) aren't realistic, altho they are still good for gameplay. As a former semi driver, i've seen many loading/unloading stations, and very few of them look anything like our basic 8bpp options. But when the drive-thru stations first appeared, i thought were pretty cool.

Perhaps covered stations or at least warehouse-docks would be a nice addition. Are there any inspired GRF authors? :wink:

You can still use some rail statia design and then attach the road stop to a small part of it..
