[OpenTTD] West Country "512"

Post by chad90b »

[OpenTTD] West Country "512" is highly inspired by the TTD original West Country scenario as well as forum user Pingaware's OpenTTD port to openttd using more of openttd's new features (their post is found here: viewtopic.php?p=953552).

[OpenTTD] West Country "512" is a doubled world-size recreation of the original classic. I've always loved playing this map but the world always felt too small. Since we lack the tools to rescale worlds I took the simple approach of upscaling the heightmap and building the infrastructure/world from there on. It's not perfect and I am not a fan of hilly terrain so I kept to the original flat, adding some bumps here and there to spice it up (based on the source heightmap).

This is a version 1.0. I just wanted to share it. Plus if anyone has some feedback, any feedback is more than welcome. Good and bad.
There is plenty to do, but as a "just make it bigger" I feel it is fairly complete to me and has enough noise to not feel flat and boring on this larger world-canvas (maybe). Hopefully I did not make too many mistakes, such as wrongful spelling of town names and so forth. Some of the built-in world editing tools are a little limiting and rely on randomization so a perfect clone was not possible - but would have been my goal had the tools allowed superuser abilities to customize trivial details. E.g., specific house placements in towns, model colours (factory roof) so on. Still I am fairly happy with it.

TL;DR: It's the West Country, but the world is twice as big to fit all your crazy railroad tracks and junctions.
It is close, but not a true 1:1 recreation.
