Title: Using of FrontImage on ways
Post by: Václav on March 09, 2012, 08:01:06 PM
I saw, in list of changes for latest stable, that ways have available FrontImage. And I would like to know for which elements of ways it is targeted. Is it only for ways - or is it also for signs and signals?

And of course, this may be used for better creation of some ways, for example for replacement of original monorail in pak128 - or not?

Some of forthcoming elevated railway tracks will have front images.
I plan to use them on roads with safety barriers too.
Canals could have built in locks at slopes.
And of course monorails are good candidates for them too.

Safety barriers for high speed ways are surely good idea but they may wait. Monorails need new face more.

And still, my main question stayed not answered - because I asked if it is only for ways - or also for signs and signals.

Only ways.

No sign of front image for signals or signs, sigh. ;)

Thanks. Nobody can want all. May it be that in the future.

But still it may lead to very interesting designs of ways - mostly for future times of future games.  And called monorails may be the first of them. I have some ideas (for really futuristic designs) - and with this it can be much easier.
