[Patch] cities bridge over rivers

[Dwachs]

This patch enables cities to build bridges across rivers.

Thanks Finally solved!

Looks good.
Can create dead-end bridges though...

[Fabio]

A most awaited feat. Great!

Works in Experimental, too, with one slight change (extra parameter to baue_gebauede())

Only minor question: what is limitation of river's width?

[prissi]

I found two issues:

First the bridges belong to nobody, thus everybody can destroy them. Also the indicator color is such case say it belongs to player 1. Maybe those should belong to the public player. If such a bridges is destroyed then the ground on the landing site has the wrong z-offset and the road type is also wrong. (I think this is somewhat connected to bridges without owner, which were not really considered legal so far, together with unowned tunnels or elevated roads.)

Another point is that the bridges are way too fast. Maybe rather the first matching bridges with a speed <= should be chosen.

The last think would be a parameter to make them less likely. Currently every road ending at a river is bridging it. Thus a town can have 7 bridges parallel (ok, was a little extreme case, but still ... )

It can bridge 2 tiles of river or sea.

fixed in 4969

The bridge is chosen according to timeline, using the functions from the bridge builder.

The last think would be a parameter to make them less likely. Currently every road ending at a river is bridging it. Thus a town can have 7 bridges parallel (ok, was a little extreme case, but still ... )

In my tests, I have never seen a city building two bridges next to each other.

With seven bridges in parallel I mean 7 bridges only 1-2 tiles away from each other. About the bridges builder hmm.
