No idea if can detect the road a player is using. Maybe I could multi-select these gates with a variety of road types. Maybe 1/2 dozen and just maybe one be suitable to what players are using.

You dont have to do that.

In the

Code: Select all

//calculate ground sprite for object

codeblock

You can just replace

Code: Select all

GROUNDSPRITE_NORMAL

With a number referring to the road in the base set, I think its
1313 for \ direction
1314 for / direction

and replace

Code: Select all

GROUNDSPRITE_SNOW 
GROUNDSPRITE_SNOW_1_4
GROUNDSPRITE_SNOW_2_4
GROUNDSPRITE_SNOW_3_4

with
1351 for \ with snow
1352 for / with snow

It will then automagically use the road from the set a player is using as the basetile (rather than the standard grass)

Not exactly sure, as I have not used/tested it myself, but I believe it works like that...


EDIT:
In the codeblocks for the spritelayout for the graphics of the Purchasemenu, you also need to replace

Code: Select all

GROUNDSPRITE_NORMAL

with
1313 for \ direction
1314 for / direction
offcourse, otherwise you see a grass road in the purchasemenu

Good sir, somebody should have sense to nominate you for an honorary Order of Merit for your service in the arts.

Thank you or the thoughts .. but it me thanking the makers of OpenTTD and the coder who have helped me learn since I started coding back in May 2015.
They basically saved my life. I have permanent brain damage from a injury and coding for this game is keeping my mind active and preventing me turning into a vegetable.

Cheers all and thanks to all those who have help me.

Wow that's freaking heartwarming. For what it's worth doing my own sprite newGRFs (FaCso, CIRso) also helped me through some periods of my life. Thanks for all the beautiful things you have created Garry!

[GarryG]

You dont have to do that.

Tried what you suggested .. it almost works.
It chooses the default game roads .. not the roads players using.

Must be something else in code to get it to use the snow one as as it still gives the default roads

I ran game for a few years thinking when first build it give normal road and maybe the following year it will redraw and give the snow version but no luck.

Cheers pal .. appreciate your help.

EDIT:

Forgot to up load the code to the gate concerned if someone might like to lok and see where I went wrong.

Glad it helped you too.

Must be something else in code to get it to use the snow one as as it still gives the default roads

What happens when you change:

Code: Select all

//calculate ground sprite for object
switch (FEAT_OBJECTS, SELF, switch_fences12_object, [
    STORE_TEMP(0, 0),
    STORE_TEMP(GROUNDSPRITE_NORMAL, 1),
    STORE_TEMP(terrain_type == TILETYPE_DESERT ? GROUNDSPRITE_DESERT : LOAD_TEMP(1), 1),
    STORE_TEMP(terrain_type == TILETYPE_SNOW   ? 1352 : LOAD_TEMP(1), 1),
    STORE_TEMP(snowline_height == 0xFF ? 0xFF : nearby_tile_height(0,0) - snowline_height, 255),
    STORE_TEMP((LOAD_TEMP(255) == -1) ? 1351 : LOAD_TEMP(1), 1),
    STORE_TEMP((LOAD_TEMP(255) ==  0) ? 1352 : LOAD_TEMP(1), 1),
    STORE_TEMP((LOAD_TEMP(255) ==  1) ? 1351 : LOAD_TEMP(1), 1)
        ]) {
    switch_fences12_view;
}

To

Code: Select all

//calculate ground sprite for object
switch (FEAT_OBJECTS, SELF, switch_fences12_object, [
    STORE_TEMP(0, 0),
    STORE_TEMP(1313, 1),
    STORE_TEMP(terrain_type == TILETYPE_DESERT ? GROUNDSPRITE_DESERT : LOAD_TEMP(1), 1),
    STORE_TEMP(terrain_type == TILETYPE_SNOW   ? 1352 : LOAD_TEMP(1), 1),
    STORE_TEMP(snowline_height == 0xFF ? 0xFF : nearby_tile_height(0,0) - snowline_height, 255),
    STORE_TEMP((LOAD_TEMP(255) == -1) ? 1351 : LOAD_TEMP(1), 1),
    STORE_TEMP((LOAD_TEMP(255) ==  0) ? 1352 : LOAD_TEMP(1), 1),
    STORE_TEMP((LOAD_TEMP(255) ==  1) ? 1351 : LOAD_TEMP(1), 1)
        ]) {
    switch_fences12_view;
}

I think this way you tell it to replace a 1313 tile with a snowversion (originally you were telling it to change a regular grass basetile to change to snow road, but you are not using grass basetile in this object)



EDIT:
It could be, that this only works for one direction.
The way these objects are coded, the snow-variant is for all 4 views.
So you can only make 4 views of one direction (I hope I explain it clear enough) with snow-awareness

So, you should make a set with 4 graphics with only 1313 and 1351, just with 4 \-directions
And another with only 1314 and 1352 with the other 4 /-directions

Tried what you suggested .. it almost works.
It chooses the default game roads .. not the roads players using.

Not even when you load a roadtypeset?
Is there a difference if the roadtypeset is before or after the objectset in the GRF-list?

[GarryG]

I had my road set loaded before the objects.

For now I think I just put a bitumen road and do 2. One with the lighter bitumen colour like US roads have and a darker one for UK.

Sorry for doublepost, but I think you have already read my previous post.

I tested it with a station I did, where a roadtile should change according to the roadset used.
The road should change, try it for example with something simple like the UK-roadset or the American Road replacement set.

I think there is something different with Rattroads, on which your and my personal roadset is based on...
I have to figure out what that is...
I think something is turned off...

[GarryG]

Tried a few different road types .. it will change the road on normal ground and in snow .. has same effect if normal or in snow
It keeps placing the paths on each side the road no matter what road set I tried.

Gate and Road2.png (13.18 KiB) Viewed 2736 times

Guess it will always be one of those minor problems with the snow. At least it seems to accept default road from the players road sets.

I made changes to the shelters. Added 2 with cargo and made some overlaps so roads will pass through them.

Overlap shelters.png (29.31 KiB) Viewed 2736 times

[Quast65]

Yes, that is because it replaces the road with paths on the sides.
If you want it to replace road without paths you need numbers:
1332 & 1333

Tried a few different road types .. it will change the road

But does it work with YOUR Auz roadset?

EDIT:
Nevermind, tested it with your roadset, that also changes the road in my station.
Doesnt work for my personal roadtype-set, but I think I did something different to your (and others) sets.

EDIT2:

it will change the road on normal ground and in snow .. has same effect if normal or in snow

Does your auz-roadtype set have snowy versions of the roads? And specifically the one used for roadtype "ROAD"
If those graphics are also non-snow, than that might (and I emphasize might) be the issue

EDIT3:
Found the difference between your set and mine, its this in AuzRattRoadsPT1:

Code: Select all

//==================================
//==========Extra Stuff=============
//==================================



replace replace_road_city_universal (1313, "gfx/misc_sprites.png") { //replaces the base sprites to make sure city roads stay consistent across base sets
	template_roads_main_new(1, 1)
}

You are replacing the base-roads (the non-snow ones) with graphics in misc_sprites.png

Not sure yet though why snow is not working yet...
Sleep first now...

[GarryG]

Yes, that is because it replaces the road with paths on the sides.
If you want it to replace road without paths you need numbers:
1332 & 1333

Will give that a try but not till later. I'll catch up on a few other items first.

But does it work with YOUR Auz roadset?

Yep.

Does your auz-roadtype set have snowy versions of the roads?

Yes with snow along side the road and a slatter on the road.

Found the difference between your set and mine, its this in AuzRattRoadsPT1:

Yep .. got no idea what it does .. it was in RattRoads coding so I just left it there. Maybe I not really need it.

I had to have a afternoon nap too.

Let me catch up on a few other bits and pieces to the Military set and come back to these gates and roads a bit later.

The brick fences I did with the big post at each end .. they looked good, but maybe the post is too big so I trying to make some with smaller post and this what I came up with.

Fences02.png (6.26 KiB) Viewed 2647 times

Do I use the above or do I put a extra post in the middle like these.

Fences03.png (5.69 KiB) Viewed 2647 times

Once I get the design right will do some red brick types and some from the foundation graphics.

Next question do these replace those with the larger posts or make these as extra sets?

[Quast65]

Goodmorning!
Mind is a bit fresher after a couple of hours sleep
Hope I will be a bit better to understand, compaired to last nights late time posts

Yep .. got no idea what it does .. it was in RattRoads coding so I just left it there. Maybe I not really need it.

Well, this is actually the most important piece of code you need to make sure the roads in an object change when a player uses your roadset!

Will give that a try but not till later.

If you want to use the graphics of a road without pavement on the sides, you need to referr to 1332 & 1333.
However, this may be a bit tricky...
As you now can see grass at the sides, you'll need to take in account that that grass is different in other climates and possibly also need to provide graphics for that.
So for the moment, keep it with pavement on the sides
I'll try to figure that out over the weekend...

Snow

Same as above, will also test out how to make climate/snow-awareness over the weekend.

The brick fences I did with the big post at each end .. they looked good, but maybe the post is too big so I trying to make some with smaller post and this what I came up with.

These look a lot and I mean a lot better!
The thick posts were the thing that made them not look like modern security fences to me.

With regards to the extra post, I like both
So, if not too much work, both version please

[GarryG]

Mind is a bit fresher after a couple of hours sleep

Sleep sure does help the mind .. worse when we start getting to tied the answer to our problem is looking at us, but we not always see it
Give our mind a break for a day or 2 and we try again. Let me finish these fences and then I need to try the coding again for the roads at the gates.

So for the moment, keep it with pavement on the sides

I think pavement be ok to stay as some places I look on internet have a path way down each side of the road st gates.

These look a lot and I mean a lot better!

I started making the fences with the 3 posts and when finish will do the 2 post to replace the thick post ones.
I done 4 types and just need to do the gates for them now.

Fences04.png (5.32 KiB) Viewed 2603 times

Should I do red bricks as well?

Cheers ..

[Quast65]

Yeah, its also the easiest for the moment
As, with grass, you have to provide graphics for replacing Arctic, Tropical (and Toyland if you want) and also add a parameter and graphics for those who use Alpine (Temperate graphics in Arctic).

I will look into trying to get it snow-aware though...
Will try to test that in the weekend.

Those look great!

Yes please

[GarryG]

Almost my bedtime .. so this be my last entry for tonight.

I did 3 gates so far. I be putting these in a multi-select set so can click through the different gates. If you know of a gate that would look good let me know.
Be nice to have about 6 if possible.

The cream colour brick fences I did before with the big support post I have removed them and made these instead.

Fences05.png (28.57 KiB) Viewed 2491 times

Made the support posts thinner and I think they look a lot better and suitable for not just Military but any where you like to use them.
As can see in the image I added lights and MPs with dogs to the grey mesh fences.
The grey mesh fence is also slope aware.
The gates auto detach the default road in the most of the road sets. If it don't detach your road set it been detecting the games original road.

Hope later today to make red brick fences like those creamy coloured one. When I do those I will upload game file so you can play with it over the weekend.

Cheers

[Quast65]

These look really good, indeed a lot better than with the thick posts

Fences06.png (19.66 KiB) Viewed 2473 times

and some entrances that are not overlapped. Did 2 different sealed roads so hope these will suit majority of players.

Hope to try another set of those fences with grey brick works taken from the foundations.
I having a break from it now till tomorrow as I pushed myself way to hard today sitting at computer almost 6 hours straight. Way to long for me.

So I upload the games file so every one can give it a try over the weekend.

I go have a afternoon nap.

Those red brick fences are perfect! I'm still looking forward to the gray ones, but the yellow ones are great too. I might try them today. But I'm nervous, we have a presidential election.

I have another idea for the future. And those are solar power plants. They can be on the roofs of houses and halls, but in the Czech Republic they have also spread as large fields. They are usually fenced and sheep graze between the panels.

Have a nice day
