Current development version 2.5
Planned stable 3.0 2014Q1
- Full half slope conversion
Future stable 3.2
- winter version for all buildings
- better climate classification of objects
- more trees and ground objects for all climates
- holds system for ships and planes
Long term plans
- industry chains revision
- economy balancing
- better GUI (icons)
This is my planned roadmap. Does anyone wants to contribute to this/other goals?

I have all the stuff on how things are balanced up to know.
Im not sure on how things should be done, but i have been messing with Napik's excel sheets for a while, later with my own stuff, so probably i'll be able to give some idwas and details...
Are you sure you need even more trees? There are quite a lot! :)
Mostly adding winter/snow versions and updating some of the images for trees that don't match the pakset as well or are a bit outdated graphically.
Does buildings included in the ground objects?

That alone is enough to tell, one of you is from Catalonia and the other from Canada :-P
Just to remind that there is an upper limit of different trees (I think it was 196 or so).

The code suggests the limit to be 254 ?
Is this a limit on the number of tree images or tree types? I assume types, since we're probably over that already for images... and we're definitely not going to get close to that limit, I think we only have 40 or so thusfar.
254 trees still means 30 trees for each of 8 climates. Desert has none, hence even more.
Also, some trees should be shared between two neighboring climates. I totally rely on Sarlock's judgement on this subject.

Most trees can overlap 2-3 climates each, only some are specific to just one climate. We won't come close to 254 trees, that's for sure. At 30 per tree, that's 7,500 images and I am certainly not capable of getting anywhere close to that before tree insanity sets in ;D I doubt I will even make 1,000 in my lifetime...
as i didn't figure on where to put the feedback ... beside the things posted about the soft slopes i also noted the redrawing of the canal images,
this leads to grafical issues when you do a 3*3 canal which used to be one area, now 9 individual tiles with small islands in between ... Looks very funny in the "Swiss Alps" Scenario - especially the big lakes :)
Lakes can now be actual water tiles rather than rivers or canals.
Hi,
is that your short form of saying - all old maps and scenarios should be manually upgraded to the new style ?
or are there any plans to provide automated upgrade functions ? I mean you should still be able to play older savegames shouldn't you ?
There's no need to upgrade but it is now a better way of implementing lakes than a grid of canals.

Hi Community.
Thanx Fabio for your presentation. It's a quite idea ;-)
I can continue the work on winter version of buildings and factories as we began one year ago. Step by Step because I'm very busy at this moment.
