Last post by prissi - June 15, 2026, 02:15:11 PMGetting the routing right is more difficult. Here some corrections and a new diff that gets the display almost right in my tests.

Incorporated Patches and Solved Bug Reports / Re: Permit co-entry on 4-way t...
Last post by prissi - June 15, 2026, 04:07:17 AMI think working with choose signals is good. I am currently seeing if something can be cooked up with the diagonals without needing new graphics.
EDIT: Here is a patch for also showing them as diagonals.
Still, the route finder is quite agnostic about those. But with this extra flag of close diagonals, it should get the allowed directions depending on the previous tile.

Last post by poppo - June 15, 2026, 03:23:58 AMIn my opinion, we shouldn't restrict the direction.
Although I've only shown images of it being used to narrow the tracks width, there are other potential applications, such as reducing interference at station crossings (I'm also trying this co-entry with choose-signal).

Last post by prissi - June 14, 2026, 11:06:56 PMVery interesting way to get around the two ways on one tile problem.
One would need to update the airplane logic then too, since they are derived from schiene_t right now.
EDIT:
Actually, one could add another two images to the rails (like OpenTTD has) and similar to the initial diagonal graphics. That image (if missing) could be even generated on the fly from existing diagonals (if there). That would give close diagonals with normal rails and add a flag to the schiene_t to be aware of that situation (i.e. "double_diagonal"). That way it could forbid turning and decouple reservations by just using two slots for only such tiles. Then the ribis would not need to be stored.
However, the wayfinder would need changes too. In the moment, tiles are always probed clockwise. That means on close diagonals, the driving direction of close diagonals going towards the viewer is different from the one going away from the viewer. Moreover, signals can only be placed every second tile.
I think this needs some more discussion before including.

And please, make top of gas tanks not so flat. They should be a bit convex - like on following image.

I only would place chimney to the left part of roof - to it would be better visible (regardless of smoke) because it is dark and gas tanks too.

It seems something has changes in python.

Town buildings (1*1 tile building)

Incorporated Patches and Solved Bug Reports / Permit co-entry on 4-way track...
Last post by poppo - June 13, 2026, 01:52:48 PMI make a patch4way_update.patch which allow 2 convoys to enter the 4-way tile only if they do not "conflict" each other.
When two convoys are conflict (e.g. N->S and E->W), they cannot enter(reserve) in the same time (see the convoys in the right side of this figure).
If you add paks, you can reduce the spacing between two digaonal tracks.
Technically, I add
ribi_t::ribi reserved_dir
convoihandle_t reserved_2
in schiene_t to check the convoys conflicts in 4-way tracks, and update how to resere/unreserve tracks.
