Can you make a 1 lane road like this bus road?Screenshot_2020-10-19-00-21-02.png

Hi guys,
I have a question.
Let's say I want to make a oneway-road, but without 64 frames and without an arrow-overlay. Would it be possible to provide just 16 frames and still have it work as a oneway road. Obviously one would have to pay attention to use the proper directions when building it, but still, would it work?

Does anyone have the textures for rail bridges & rail slopes ?

So let's create a road plugin. I would like to have a blue road similar to the existing country road that looks like this:



To get started we need some frames for the base graphics first: road.png

The orientation follows a specific order. For your own road it's sufficient to use this graphic as template. You have to provide 16 frames here.

As we want to have a bridge we also have to provide graphics for it: bridge.png

The ordering is important
If we want to use a bridge we have to tell TheoTown the pixel height of it. For some reason the height has to be 12. The number of frames must be a multiple of 12. If you provide 24 frame for example, your road will have two bridge types.

Additionally, in case we want to have some traffic lights, we might use this ones: tf.png

If we use traffic lights, we also have to provide more information about phase lengths.

Our json code may now look like

Code: Select all

[
  {
    "id":"$testroad00",
    "type":"road",
    "level":1,
    "speed":2.0,

    "frames":[{"bmp":"road.png","w":32,"h":16,"count":16}],

    "bridge frames":[{"bmp":"bridge.png","w":32,"h":48,"count":12}],
    "bridge height":12,

    "traffic lights":[{"bmp":"tf.png","w":32,"h":32,"count":4}],
    "green phase":3000,
    "yellow phase":500,

    "price":50,
    "bridge price":200,
    "monthly price":2
  }
]

Note how I use can reference multiple frames from one image by providing values w, h and count.

The value level determines whether this road overrides other road types. Every road has it's own level and can only override roads which have a lower level. Value speed determines how fast cars will drive on this road. For reference, the slowest road has speed 1.0, the fastest road has speed 5.0 (natively in the game).

If you don't provide any frames for traffic lights your road won't have any. The values green phase and yellow phase indicate phase length in milliseconds (1000ms = 1s).




For recent versions please note that the road on the ramp needs one additional line of pixels on the top end to cover specific transitions between slopes and none slopes. The ramps in the image above have already been fixed.

Since terrain was added you can now specify your own frames that will be used for road that is placed directly onto slopes:

Code: Select all

"slope frames":[
  {"x":120,"y":311,"w":32,"h":32,"count":4,"offset x":2048,"offset y":1024}
],

For example:
image.png
By default the game will use the frames provided for flat road and squeeze them onto the slope. Alternatively, if provided, the ramps of the bridge(s) will be used.
