A suggestion for roads

Post by CommanderABab »

Please don't override the ids for in game roads unless you keep all present functionality in addition to your contributions. It's annoying to lose bridges, tunnels, and existing connections for the sake of say diagonal roads. :/

I am thinking that you should make a realistic road pack. What do I mean you should make a one lane ramp to let cars let on the interstate realisticly and make different type of interstates with more than just two lane. Like four or five lanes to make a down town city have a good look. Also you can make cool realistic alley ways or realistic American roads with those traffic light that hang over the road. If you do not live in the U.S. then I guess you could look it up but thats it and maybe make the bri bridges for this plug-in look nice and realistic . Also I am young like jr high young and I may not respond back to you but I will check to make sure if you responded nack

I was suggesting a sort of similar thing in the discord. I said it would be very convenient if we could apply or change certain tags of a building (or road) without having to override it so you can keep all of its original attributes while also adding new ones or changing current ones.

It is possible to make a one lane one way road behave that way within the current system, but it is not feasible grapically to represent it as one lane.

Lobby has experimented with this.

I tried to add something like that. But it does only work for simple attributes whose default value doesn't depend on other attributes. To try it out use

Code: Select all

"inherit":true
instead of "override":true ("type" is still a required attribute). I hope the implementation didn't break something else.

In general I think it's better if plugins don't change the behavior of built-in objects to prevent conflicts with changes and other plugins.
