unfortunately you can't change size of buildings (in tiles) .. 1-square-building will always use 1-square

It's a stupid question but anyway, will there be in the near future a grf-file with ur Lightrail system?

Okey! Thanks for answering!

I've changed the new bridge sligthly and added street lights. Most bridges where I come from do have lights - even if they're built in the middle of nowhere! So, what do you think? The lightrail bridge, (on top), and the road bridge have street lights on both sides, while the rail bridge only has it on one side. Should I change anything? Image below;

Sure! Either if I find a way to code it myself - or if I find someone who can help me do it

No don't change it's okay so I think

Sac just find the spritenumbers for maglev in ttd's grf files(decode with grfcodec + grfwizard), then replace them with your graphics, and make a grf or exe..

Sac thats very impresive work you have done

Well, I need to change more than just the maglev part since parts of the bridges DO affect also the roads and rails that uses the same bridge. Anyway, I'll try and see if I can come up with something. Mind you though, I'm going away on a few days work early tomorrow morning so I won't probably have anything ready until this coming weekend!

Yes, I use them since they're gridless - which I want - and yours are great. But I'm still waiting for the parts that includes also the tiles that have contact with water - along with the stones

UPDATED POST;

If I want to make buildings appear with random colors, which color of the palette should be used? Or is it a coding issue?

Can i make a steam tram for u?
BTW: the tram tracks look strang with the grass thingy under it, try putting pavements under it
But anyway it's really good!

To use the random colours, use the company blues. 198 to 205 i think. But it doesn't work on all sprites.

Yes, change it back . I liked the previous version a lot better without lights.

The lightrail idea is cool, also it's graphics

Some suggestions:
- The bridges could have the streetlights on the same sprite as the street tiles, because a rail bridge has none
- Replace the railway crossing of the lightrail with a simple traffic light.
- The tunnel entraces should look very "urban", with no real tunnel portal.
- Leave the depot the same, the roof is good
- The stations should have a cute waiting house [Wartehäuschen]

@Saskia
the Idea withe the "wartehäuschen" is good!
@Topic
The tunnel entrances should have less grass and less stones but more beton(Is this word in english existent?)

You mean concrete .

hmmm...really?....ugly I had 3 years school english...for nth?

I had 6 yeras school englisch.
For more than nothing

Well, i would be nice if we can get your graphics.
I prefer don't building Lamps on bridges.

If you build a bridge in the middle of nowhere it looks no so good...

Any possibility of releasing the G-rated bus set? Please please please...

BUMP! Any news on your awesome enhancements SAC?

Sorry for not replying to everything, but I've been away a couple of days on work, so...

A steam tram? What's that? I've read somewhere that they went from horses to electricity - well, basically

The grass under the tracks are due to some circumstances I can't do anything about. The ideal situation would have been if we could have implemented the lightrail with ordinary city roads, but that's not possible - or at least not in a functional way. So, the best I could do was to put grass under them instead. Gothenburg in Sweden, the city with the largest lightrail system in Sweden doesn't always have its tracks placed on ordinary roads, but often running in between roads where the tracks have grass under them. So, it's not an unrealistic theme after all. Besides, I also thought the grass would be great to somewhat visualize the difference between railroad and lightrail Still, that doesn't mean I can try to improve them with, let's say, pavements

Thanks! I'll try it!

Hmm, maybe two styles then; one with street lights and one without - depending on personal choices?

Good idea about having the streetlights on the same sprite! I'll use that! I also like the idea with a traffic light! Will implement that as well! As for the tunnel portal, aiming for "real-life" things I've seen! Still, that doesn't mean I can't look into it further! And I will make realistic stops for the trams too but I'll make some slight changes to the depots.

TT Junkie wrote:The tunnel entrances should have less grass and less stones but more beton(Is this word in english existent?)

Less grass, well, all tunnels in this game's temperate climate are based on grassy hills, so it's not much I can do about it. But using a concrete stylished tunnel is a good idea though

And to answer some mutual questions;

I still need to learn how to code all this! I can't do that yet, so you'll have to wait a bit longer! As soon as I've figured it out I'll be able to release everything!

Too bad there isn't a very informative tutorial for coding a building, a train, a bus or something else available. The only good tutorial - but still very confusing - is for trains! So, in other words, hang in there! I'll do my best to figure this out

Well, this mean more questions?

Hopefully.
