Station's extensions in ground (but not underground)

[mEGa]

Well,
I tried to apply Wlindley's interesting method.
So, success issue with offset (0,32) and image is correctly placed.




On the other hand, this trick does not apply to the plain elevated tile but only in elevated ways.
Finally, the Fabio's last ones (very large) cover a part of the face but not very ugly. What do you think about it?



EDIT :
last design groups all situations. See this example :


You can notice 2 aspects in game :
with latest elevated ways of last pak128 (112) designe by Fabio and with old japan elevated ways.

You can try this stations with :

Feedbacks are welcome of course

Beautiful!

Can I only suggest you to use my brick texture for consistency?

I'll see if I can upload it here.

Of course, there is still the problem that the space under the bridge isn't occupied. You'd have to make sure that no one builds a round through there (which isn't a problem normally) or that the city doesn't build a skyscraper there (which is a problem with plain bridges as well).

Mega it possible to make the simple walls with murals,the opened doors to issues, the little chops as Station extations?

Thanks for your nice feedbacks.

Of course... And why not. I deicded to make two models :
this presented for french addons (to keep Parisian aspect)
and a,other for pak128 : so your textures is welcome .
I wait your "bip" when you're upload them.

I understand what you wanted to say. But I'm not sure is a good idea to also offer these extensions, because I'm afraid people mix them. What another guys think about it ?

Mega, all this is very nice but it is going completely off topic ...

First of all... Is that a dog or a cow on the poster?

On the narrow way with iron pillars, empty space looks weird I would add the wall on "tracked" side, I guess it is enough in BackImage.

You can easily create an elevated station that descends "below" its ground, using the x,y offset parameter for FrontImage, like this:

FrontImage[1][0][0][0][0][0]=elevated-station-with-lower-extension.0.0,0,32

Use Y offset = pakset_size/4, for example 32 with pak128. Note that if you build such a station on the ground, it will look very strange!

That gives me an idea...

How about (yet another) image extension? Call it a "skirt" or something. If the station is placed on an elevated way or bridge, the skirt can fill in a skirt image underneath. It should be possible to delete the skirt too, like bridge pillars.

Then the player can place any station extension underneath, the skirt will hide the image and would not have an aesthetic conflict. If the station extension is placed beside, it would look as it normally would.

I like that station; I think that you could add another wall on the corner to cover the hole that you can see in the japanese elevated.
There are a couple of problems, though: first that's eye candy, not functional. Extensions are ment to add capacity or enable good types in a certain station, and you can't do that with altered platform graphics.
Second, even some parisian elevated stations have empty space under them (or at least under most of them). I definetly remember M6 with parking space under the stations, I'm not sure about M2. It's been a while since I was in Paris.

SHould I move this to the 128 board?

Please no, this is still an extension request which Mega turned off topic with his metro stations :p

[wlindley]

Enclosed screenshot shows an underground station with sliced view. 


Could the original request be satisfied by permitting underground extension buildings to override the standard retaining-wall?

I mean it'will be a good idea.

Hello Mega
In the photo it a Bug.A wall over a road let Crash cars.

Oh yes, you're right. It was just an example to illustrate possible combinations of this station

Is it possible for a moderator to move Mega's stations in a more appropriate part of the forum ?
