TRACK_RAMP_NS
« on: May 14, 2012, 09:11:52 pm »

Looking at the new release  noticed that the track ramps are settable, all defaulting at 30 the up ramp inverted.  I started setting them to use my bridge tiles, which have tracks on them already.  Most of the entries have directions in the names but TRACK_RAMP_NS confused me.

Could someone enlighten me to what that entry means?

I assume it means a ramp with a track going north-south on it?  Similarly for the other designations.

All ramps are 30I - meaning they look like all other ramps, but with the inverse color scheme. 

There are every permutation of directional ramps with cart tracks laid upon them, but there are no special tiles for them - they're exactly the same as "TRACK_NS" or any other track designation, except that they also occupy a ramp tile, and all look like inverse color selections of a ramp by default.

Thank you for the answer!  The reason I wanted to know was I changed my settings to;
[SKY:225:3:0:0]
[CHASM:255:0:0:1]
[PILLAR_TILE:'9']
[TRACK_RAMP_N:208I]
[TRACK_RAMP_S:210I]
[TRACK_RAMP_E:198I]
[TRACK_RAMP_W:181I]
[SHOW_FLOW_AMOUNTS:YES]
; to go with my tileset.  I left the other ramps the way they were, though I might add some corner ramps later.   Maybe I should have put this in the modding section.
