Disallow ordering ordinary road vehicles to tram depots and vice versa.Add setting to control road vehicle re-routing on road layout changes.Add setting to allow articulated road vehicles to overtake other vehicles.One-way road and road vehicle overtaking enhancements.Add setting for rail depot maximum speed.

Add client setting to show the introduction year for train wagons.

Remember the last-used signal type between games.

Add client setting to show all signals using the default baseset sprites.

This requires a NewGRF which supports this and realistic train braking.

Add a setting for whether to pathfind up to back of a one-way path signal.

Add setting to sort track types by category and speed.

#Openttd path signals full#

Add information about train full and empty loads and achievable speeds to the train info window.

Add a new train purchase window, where locomotive and wagons are in separate lists.

Add feature where trains adjust their speed to match the train in front to avoid stop-start behaviour.

Allow converting track type under trains when compatible with the new rail type.

In this mode, trains have a stopping distance and will reserve ahead accordingly, trains cannot stop instantly.

Add setting to enable flipping direction of all train types in depot.

Add news setting for trains waiting due to routing restrictions.

This is an alternative loading mode for freight trains for the case where the train is longer then the platform. These are not shown in the build signal window by default. See the guide on the wiki for more information. (Nearly all of the patches which are listed below have been modified, fixed or extended in some way, and so are not the same as the originals which are linked).

OpenTTD is licensed under the GNU General Public License version 2.0,īut includes some 3rd party software under different licenses. Game as closely as possible while extending it with new features. OpenTTD is a transport simulation game based upon the popular game Transport This can be used to construct balancers and other helpful constructs.This is a collection of patches applied to OpenTTD For instance, entry/exit signals will cause trains to take longer routes if a path is blocked, while path signals may wait. Path signals also can behave similar to entry/exit signals, although entry/exit signals have uses that path can't fully achieve. I use path signals for forks that have 4 or more tracks, as this is where they start to benefit. This is a major advantage against standard OpenTTD signals, where you had to place signals before and after junctions, which caused trains to block junctions while waiting.įor straight track and basic merges/splits, I stick to normal one-way signals. It is not safe for a a train to wait at a signal immediately after a junction before the whole train has cleared the junction, as it would be blocking the junction while waiting, as illustrated in the example below. This is because it is only safe for a train to wait in front of a junction. The back of a Path signal is not considered a safe waiting position, and therefore paths are reserved through these signals.īecause the front of every signal is defined as a safe waiting position, you would normally not want to place a signal immediately behind a junction, only in front of a junction. Safe waiting positions are - by definition - in front of signals, depots and track ends. The Path signals are red by default, and will only show green as soon as a train can reserve a path to the next safe waiting position on its route.

The two new signal types behave a bit differently than standard OpenTTD signal types. This allows 2 trains to be on the same signal block at the same time, so long as they have paths that don't cross. One-way path signals reserve an individual path between it and the next signal. One-way signals reserve a signal block between it and the next signal.
