Western buildings! v5.13



Continuing on from the "lumber mill props" added last update, this next update adds some more props and features themed around a western town! This includes new buildings, props, and a new wooden tunnel style.

As you might have seen mentioned previously, all these updates are working towards a big map set in the Sierra mountains and the California logging industry in the early 1940s. This map is going to be Rolling Line's first ever expansion (almost 6 years after the games release). More details will be coming in the future about this expansion, but for now here's some new props added to the game while i've been in the process of making the town of Tuolumne, California!

[h2]Old western buildings [/h2]

Firstly, a modular hotel building:



A set of classic street-side shops:



And a church:



Also a bunch of props, including shop-front signs, wood planks, hitching posts, etc:



[h2]New wooden tunnel style[/h2]

This tunnel can be added from the popup track-style menu, or using the new painters in the "track tools" drawer. You can make a single-track tunnel or a double-track tunnel (by adding walls to each side on the two lanes of track). There are also snappable tunnel portals for single and double track tunnels:



[h2]More mill props[/h2]

A few new props added to the "buildings -> mill" drawer, these include a new modular water tower as well as a wooden "sand chute" building:



Other minor fixes/features also include:
  • Added snapping to all double-track tunnel portals
  • Added placement ghost arrow to all tunnel portals
  • Improved collision on several wooden debris pile props
  • Moved several props around to clean up drawers, there is no longer the bizarre "props -> warf" drawer, these props have been moved to "vehicles -> boats" and "buildings -> Western"
  • Added a couple of new church window props


[h2]Sierra logging layout preview! [/h2]

While this is still massively work-in progress, here are a few sneak previews of parts of the map that I have been working on! There will be much more info released about this map in the future.
