Maglev proposal ROUGH DRAFT. What do you think of this design for the monorails? Sort of a raised wall-rail type design. For Amplio2.

We don't have canals in official rulesets/tilesets, but this seems quite lot like the canals on some custom tilesets.

I wonder if we should do that for S2_5 version too. One .spec-file can contain multiple grids after all (not all sprites in the .png need to be on same grid with same sprite size).GriffonSpade wrote:Trimmed the dead space off the bottom that was inherited from the tiles image.

I can't vouch for others' canals, but they stand out quite well against my own for several reasons. The supports give it a distinctive sawtooth edgecazfi wrote:We don't have canals in official rulesets/tilesets, but this seems quite lot like the canals on some custom tilesets.

Ah, which versions are we using for the Airstrip/Airfield and Airbase again? Are we using X for airstrip/airfield (Which name should be preferred? airfield seems like it is more applicable.) and X w/ building for airbase, or something else? And is it a matter of editting the 2.5 files to match this? (Tiles and Modern Cities, I think?)cazfi wrote:See bug #20032 for how I'm planning to setup these.GriffonSpade wrote:Road and Base activities
For completeness, it would be nice to have activity icon for Airstrip matching sprite of the airstrip extra itself, since that is provided already in 2.5 tileset (But since no supplied ruleset uses those until 2.6, this is really not-a-high-priority)

That naming was handled in patch #5524, with some discussion in patch #5027.GriffonSpade wrote:Also, I STRONGLY advise against using Fort and Fortress as distict bases, internally or otherwise. It's confusing because the former is an abbreviation of the latter. (Despite how punny it is to use shortened fortress for a shortened fortress) I suggest castra(latin for 'encampment buildings', which included a wall. Is plural), palisade, or encampment(Which is distinct enough from camp, in case that is ever used for a forest infrastructure or the like).
