Title: Power line tunnels and underground transformers?
Post by: jamespetts on December 04, 2012, 11:20:04 PM
May I ask - has consideration been given to producing graphics for these? They are both features of the new stable release of Standard, and the author of the code is Pak128.Britain's own Kieron.

Since much electrical power transmission in the UK is underground, it would be worthwhile considering these, at least the power line tunnels. I don't know how common that underground transformers are in the UK.

Small industries would usually have no visible transformer - graphics would probably be very plain for this, as they would for power line tunnels in general.

Perhaps only a consumer substation for industries allowed underground, in that case?

I certainly coded this up a few weeks ago, but maybe I didn't include in SVN?

Alternatively, perhaps I missed them. Oops...

fabio work on new underground powerlines.

Yes, you could check Pak 128 svn r1077.
Tunnel object and hidden underground conduits for the underground part.

Splendid! I shall add these to the Experimental version when the latest Standard commits are merged in.

I must admit the graphics are basic (e.g. there are still pylon graphics underground) but at least the function is there.

Hmm - any volunteers to draw actual tunnels...?

If you guys would like to use / adapt my underground power conduits, feel free to help yourself!

You can find .png and Gimp .xcf, as well as .dat, in SVN at r1077 (Pak128, of course!).

In r1077.

Are the pylons the same as the old ones (with a new graphic for tunnel entrance)? If so they will be easy to adapt as I just recoloured the old pak128 graphics for pak128.Britain.

Same pylons for a while.
By the way, I also edited the power lines pylons using offsets where they were truncated for tile reasons.

Tunnel entrances might be slightly improved over the next few days, though (see the other thread).
