A Funfair (With Sound and Animation)?
Then it would be Fun! :D
Creates more Life in the City because Cities of OpenTTD are Boring... Nothing is Happening there...
The Citizens of OpenTTD also wanna have some Amusement! :)

Just an Idea from me...
What do you think? :))

It is possible - check VAST for example. Or as houses set, But sb have to draw it.

I was thinking an amusement park as an industry myself...

Doing it as an industry would be the best way so that it can accept passengers and you receive payment for it. Otherwise, it's just eye candy and you can build it as an extraordinary station set. :-)

doing as a NewObject is way better than a NewStation. Industry would be preferred if you want to have a gameplay effect.

I would agree with that, but the build interface for NewObjects is horrible right now. There's discussion about fixing it, but it's not suitable for more than a few objects right now.

A funfair industry would look cool, and be quite simple to code...

Do it as houses - replace the stadium?

Accept / produce passengers, accept food.

Why replace? Just provide it as additional house. Or provide it as a NewObject, then players can build it where they see it fit.

The Rides and Stalls are from RCT2

That is a Good Idea... But what about Random Placement? Do you wanna have a Funfair in the Middle of Nowhere? So what about that? ?(

That was my Idea. :wink:
To Code it as Station Tiles...

I can't Code NewObjects yet! :oops:

I wanna Try something like that once on a Day... :wink:

If you can Help me with it then it will be Simple...
Because i only can Code Signals and Stations! :oops:

Because then it is Possible that you are having Funfairs in EVERY City in EVERY Street! Would that not look strange? :lol:

That is a Idea i wanna Try later... :wink:

what do you mean? many fun fairs ARE in the middle of nowhere... you have plenty of space for expansion, and no neighbours that can be disturbed.

also, you can put in restrictions, like "only 20 tiles away from a city"

There you got a Point... But here at Holland are most of Funfairs in Cities...

Possibly find some graphics from Freetrain and recieve permission? I know there are a few amusement park parts out there. I was looking into it awhile back, but nothing really came of it.

Is it possible to make them compatible with VAST?

if he makes it into a separate GRF coded as stations and/or NewObjects, it is aways compatible with vast if that is what you ment.
for nice connections he needs to fit the edges nicely to the vast tiles, shouldn't be very hard to to i guess :)
