09:01:56  * andythenorth plays OpenTTD



09:02:15  <reldred> fancy that i'm playing openttd too



09:02:41  <reldred> working out how I want to build stations in this bold new post #15391 world



09:06:13  <reldred> https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/1008473233844097104/1495349795647393843/image.png?ex=69e5ec85&is=69e49b05&hm=c420281b2933b7b98146639e32628633ca2a4e1614dc16e0df5bc9a5b4a0820f&



09:06:13  <reldred> leaning towards stuff like this now for terminus stations, this one will get interesting as years go on once MU's take over and the rest of the city grows around it.



09:31:59  <ragin_> reldred: you'll have lots of land to sell off to developers 🙂



09:37:20  <reldred> Build a hospital 😛



09:40:09  <ragin_> reldred: No, 1,000,000 2-bed apartments



09:40:43  <reldred> no, most expensive hospital in the world



09:41:20  <reldred> dawwww it looks like the new karlinska hospital in sweden took the crown off adelaide



10:29:08  <_zephyris> https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/1008473233844097104/1495370662179504148/Screenshot_20260419-112811.png?ex=69e5fff4&is=69e4ae74&hm=d1ec78a901abb03efa9ba2d799e2c6dc4a476f53b6563978ca838b98603bba36&



10:31:26  <reldred> I may or may not have done that before...



11:09:22  <andythenorth> https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/1008473233844097104/1495380787586011176/image.png?ex=69e60962&is=69e4b7e2&hm=14febf3475433501addf046e8c3637062d9f9a3ee0478d3a56816df8749751d6&



11:09:22  <andythenorth> kaibaneddy: I've confused CivilAI with my 'spacer' wagons 😛



11:10:03  <andythenorth> can AI read badges yet? 👀



11:14:06  <talltyler> reldred: I’ve been leaning toward putting the coachyard on the balloon loop instead of building a headshunt (so connecting the loop to the end of Beechwood Valley instead of having to reverse at Beechwood East). But there’s definitely a bit further to reverse before reaching the loop. I also suspect grade-separating the loop will be needed for the busiest stations, and a separate track for trains



11:14:06  <talltyler> driving backwards toward the loop will avoid delaying in-service trains between the station and junction for the loop.



11:14:06  <talltyler> Also, I think busy stations will require you to minimize main line crossing movements. This just has one, since trains arrive on the left, cross the outbound track, and then re-enter the station on the correct side to leave without crossing again.



11:14:06  <talltyler> Meanwhile, your station in Discord channel #openttd-screenshots has the yard on the “wrong” side so backwards yard trains will conflict with main line trains.



11:14:51  <reldred> Yeah I'm still heavily experimenting with designs



11:16:29  <reldred> and poor west riverside wasn't exactly in the best place without doing more earthworks



11:17:41  <reldred> https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/1008473233844097104/1495382880606617852/image.png?ex=69e60b55&is=69e4b9d5&hm=0c42a3f024c341013cd12b3abc3967fb32779281e330f553ac654f697362fcb6&



11:17:41  <reldred> Beechwood in this save is gonna end up being the busiest station probably, I'm setting up a few lines heading in different directions all converging on this station so I'm gonna be beating the snot out of it.



11:21:16  <talltyler> Experimenting is good! As is more variety of network design.



11:21:16  <talltyler> Are your trains using that drive-through depot, or is just for buying new trains?



11:21:59  <reldred> Yeah they use it



11:22:25  <reldred> I haven't worked it into the orders so it only goes through it when empty but eh



11:22:28  <reldred> things to explore later

11:44:42  *** WormnestAndroid has joined #openttd



12:14:38  <_zephyris> So... 2CC for base set graphics?



12:16:19  <_zephyris> Idea would be to add a `GrfMiscBit` which enables 2CC for base set sprites with company colour recolours (stations, rail fences, headquarters, etc.), which could be set in the extra NewGRF.



12:18:17  <_zephyris> Limitation would be that existing NewGRFs which use ActionA/Action5 to replace sprites would get a potentially unexpected 2CC recolour...



13:09:51  *** audigex has joined #openttd



13:09:51  <audigex> What's ActionA/Action5 in NML terms?



13:10:20  <_zephyris> ActionA is replacing base set sprites, Action5 is replacing the base set sprites for new features.



13:11:15  <audigex> Ah okay, yeah doesn't affect anything I do then



13:11:22  <_zephyris> So if a station NewGRF modified the base set stations instead of using the new stations feature, for example.



13:11:55  <audigex> One downside there is that it presumably mostly affects older, unmaintained newGRFs, then?



13:14:10  <_zephyris> Yup



13:14:32  <_zephyris> But always hard to work out which ones



13:14:42  <_zephyris> And if it's really an issue

16:07:36  <andythenorth> hmm Horse engines mostly don't have tail lights drawn 😛



16:07:44  <andythenorth> that's a large project 😛



16:08:44  <peter1138> It's daytime, you wouldn't see them anyway.



16:09:46  <talltyler> Seems like an easy task for reusable layers, that’s how I did them in Danish Trains anyway



16:10:16  <talltyler> (Same for headlights)



16:11:36  <andythenorth> the wagons all have reusable tail light



16:11:44  <andythenorth> but the light positions vary wildly on the engines



16:12:07  <andythenorth> wonder if I can automate, it's pretty much the same yellow everywhere
