Switches for trackslink

Simutrans-version 0.102.2 (makeobj 50) or higher

from version 0.102.2 on it is posible to add extra switch grafics for tracks ( waytype: track, tram_track, monorail_track, maglev_track, narrowgauge_track ). They’re choosen automatically in game according to the way the vehicle travels.
Therefore you need to add the red values in the []- parentheses

Image[NSE1][0]=filename.0.0
Image[NSW1][0]=filename.0.1
Image[NEW1][0]=filename.0.2
Image[SEW1][0]=filename.0.3
...

Front-Images for wayslink

‘from Simutrans-Version > 111.1 (makeobj > 52)’

It is now possible to define front images for ways. These images are drawn in front of everything else on a tile. This can be used to define alleys, i.e. to include trees into the front image.

(Back)Image Frontimage
Image[NS][0] FrontImage[NS][0]
Image[EW][0] FrontImage[EW][0]
etc. etc.
