cities with neat blocks

[seracohw]

Hi,

I tried to change the cityconf.tab so I had blocks, that were easier to service (e.g. all roads are straight).

BUT ST complained that it wasn't valid for some reason.

thanks for a quck reply

We need more info to help you. Could you post your cityconf.tab ?

Hi,

It's about configuring the rules which govern house/street creation.
I tried to make the houses sit in a 9x4 rectangle to be able to build a nice station system (kind of like a grid). But it just gave me an error.

The new cityrules (which I made a couple of years ago for pak 128 and are used also for other paks) are thought for 2*2 blocks of houses, with a grid of roads. I added also the possibility of 3*2 blocks, to add some variety. Before this, the roads were even more irregular and placing stops was a nightmare. A perfect 2*2 blocks only is easy to do (this was my first outcome). Bigger blocks are not really possible (3*3 should be as a limit case) because the n tile where the house or road will be built needs to be in the centre of the 9*9 square.
