Tunnel foreground image problem

see here:

The way graphic is part of the foreground image, but should go into the back image. Tested with version 1.4.6.

Since some time I have used this tunnel very rarely ... but similar behaviour was in one very old release of *.exe files. But I don't remember that number. So I think it can be caused by *.exe file, not graphics.

I am pretty sure it is caused by the graphic in the pak file.

So ... could you send me link to track what is in the front of tunnel? I would like to test something to making myself be sure it is right what you say.

you could as well compile simutrans yourself and comment out line boden/grund.cc:1078

Code: [Select]

#use big images for back to prevent graphics problems
#front is not displayed properly.

Imho this is no longer true (if it was true anyway)

Change the W-image part to:

Code: [Select]

#BackImage[W]=way-tunnel-rail-128.1.1
#FrontImage[W]=way-tunnel-rail-128.1.1
BackImage[W]=way-tunnel-rail-128.0.1
FrontImage[W]=way-tunnel-rail-128.0.0

does the trick. See attachment.

Oops, I realized this is "my problem" only now. Fixed...

I already inspected this graphic a few months ago... but there is so much "ancient lore" that I simply decided to trust the comment then. Of course with new drawing it really shines :

One persisting issue is that the graphic doesn't cover entirely trains in the back part of tile, but... well... this particular picture will be replaced later anyway, so why care now.

imho the comment was wrong before with the old drawing as well.

I did not write I don't trust this bug report.

I only wrote about experience with one very old release - and based on that experience I thought it could appear again.

I would argue that it's impossible to get this special case (tunnel mouth) right without some compromise with graphics or forther information... but if you can make the vehicles disappear, all the better
