Multiple crossings for the very same waytypes

[Flemmbrav]

Ahoj,

the new crossings in the 123.1 version make room for multiple crossings each waytype.
All it needs would be to choose the slowest crossing available for the given ways.

With such a feature we could adapt the crossings exactly to the ways in use, getting rid of weird mixed graphics etc.

do you know this?

More or less.
Can you give me a link to a working dat file that has that thing implemented?
It feels like I'm missing a lot of information on the basis of just that thread without knowing what you ended up with there.

Oh, I see that is something misunderstanding.
Prissi did not build in my suggestion. Read his notes.
But he made changes that enable ford and allow to ban crossings of highways and fast railways.

So my intention was solved.

pak64 has two crossings

It should choose the slowest possible crossing which matches both speed conditions. If there are 4 road and 3 rails, all with different topspeeds, this would need 12 different crossing, if you want one for each.

Sounds great, thanks a lot, prissi. I'll try that one.

@Makie yeah, it did solve your issue, but instead brings a lot of issue towards our pakset, which I posted at the original bug report of someone being surprised with it.

That was not my decision. My suggestion would been more work, but have no influence on other Paksets.

Sorry. Only what i say: The solution was good enough for me.

Makes sense and worry not, I don't want to blame anything on anyone
