[FORK] Dutch Road Furniture for Quast65's RoadSet

[Mrsunman]

unfortunately, i have not made any graphics yet, so i will need to find out how, but you could take inspiration from how the NAM team did their roundabouts for the game simcity 4:

[kamnet]

maybe add curved roads then? i think maybe a 2x2 and 3x3 would look nice on your roadset

Same reason, vehicles look weird on that.
OpenTTD has its limits..

Sometimes you have to respect OpenTTD for what it is than try to change it into something that it is not.

I totally agree, I love using visual hacks to improve the look of the game, but I still try to keep in mind the mechanics of the game.

I would rather that you think about how roundabouts could work in OpenTTD than looking at other games.
At least they should have room for one-way arrows in them, two-way roundabouts are unrealistic (at least for The Netherlands)

[Argus]

Similarly in the Czech Republic. I have yet to see a multi-way roundabout.

[Mrsunman]

Well, cant wait for a release, i'd love to see what follows!

or this:

Hi could it also be possible to make a version of this object where we can make double carriageways striped like the one in this picture? Would love to make North American freeways using the objects

You'll have to make a fork for that yourself, I have totally no interest in that.
1. This fork is for Quast65's RoadSet and that doesnt have NA type roads.
2. DUTCH Road Furniture


By the way, what you are requesting is possibly something that is a very good way to get into GRF-creating.
Because all you need is offered by me in my sources.
What you need to do:
1. In the code, change the name and GRF-ID, so that you get an unique GRF. Thats all you need to do to the code.
2. In the graphics, recolor the white lines near the middle to yellow(ish). That is a lot of work (loads of graphics to change), but not rocketscience.
3. Compile the GRF

How do I access the code of a newgrf? Im trying to create a fork that adds single lane roads (decorative, of course) so that I can make some for realistic looking intersections.

You can find the sources of the most current release there (.rar)
The code is the .nfo

Cool! How should I start with that? Yes I see the link to the source.

Start with changing the graphics, thats most of the work.
Finding someone to compile the GRF for you (or just search how to compile a GRF using GRFcodec, you wont be the first...) shouldnt be too difficult as no huge changes to the code are required.
Or look here: https://www.tt-wiki.net/wiki/NFOTutorial and here: https://www.openttd.org/downloads/grfco ... ses/latest

By the way, wait just a bit with changing the graphics until I have released Version-2.
As I have made some improvements to make the wideness of the lanes look more even.

[Mrsunman]

ooh, just looked at the bridges and tunnels, could we have a download?

Soon...

[Quast65]

As I am busy in the near future with reallife work, I want to first release what I have done so far, so it can be tested.
See first post for Changelog.


MANY MANY THANKS TO OzTrans FOR HELPING ME WITH CODING THE SLOPE-AWARE TILES

LETS GOOO

WIP, 2-lane and 3-lane small roundabouts
I've asked JGR if it is possible to make bends/curves one-way too.

Will do different "artwork" in the centers, as The Netherlands is famous for their weird artwork inside roundabouts.
Will also see if I am going to do larger versions, but first these...

Thank would be nice, since so far the smallest roundabout which is fully one-way in my opinion is a 5x5 layout as shown below (maybe you can squeezed that into a 5x3 but that's too non-symmetric for my taste ):

[Quast65]

Yes, I agree.
But that will also be the biggest one I'll do (the other one will be 4x4 layout)

So Canada isn't the only place with roundabout decorations: example
