With this patch you are able to build a tunnel without building a way on the slope first. The tunnel will also auto-connect to ways laying in front of it.

If this patch comes into trunk, the translations of the error messages has to be adopted.
2 crash reports as usual.
[edit]
Doesn't it check the owner of railway ?
We also must re-write all the "How to build a tunnel" tutorials. But I support this patch, it will help beginners a lot, particularly those who played TT(D) before. Thank you for making this :)
@z9999:
Thank you for testing.

Thank you. It working well now.
I love all the little tweaks like this. Especially one like this - I can't think of a downside (although perhaps it's just my limited thinking)
