Allow bridges up to 23 slope per tile

[Wilczan 2,048]

Still walkable.

 

Flat bridges would staright forward go to max 23 slope per tile.

 

Arched bridges will follow formula, checking to not exceed above 23 slope. Maximum height difference between both ends will still be much lower then on flat bridges.

I'm going to click like but i can't plus one it. 
too close to 20.
adaptation is the fuel of creativity.
frustrations aside.

So maybe max 20 slope for paving roads then? Why someone would need roads on 23 slope? Everyone should adapt to 20.

I suspect changing this would break bridges even more though.

Is there a specific reason for 23?

Bridges are meant to be walkable, 23 is max walkable slope.

 

Also couse of higher angle, some bridges could be slightly shorter (important on long bridges).

make them act more like stairs? a 23+ bridge would have the option to be flat( for horse/cart) or with stairs( for walking only) cant use the other mean (unless you want to climb on a flat bridge) to cross it. new max slope would then be 40?

+1 this leads to more specialised builds so why not. could be intresting. we got stairs in house already, so why not staired bridges

+1, I would go so far as to suggest bridges be allowed to be built up to 40 slope. no reason to limit the bridges to just walking slope, maybe I want to have a ramp into a warehouse and only have the single tile available.

+1.  Should be allowed at least up to maximum walkable slope.

Where is the harm in this idea?

Arched bridges will follow formula, You described in other topic, checking to not exceed above 23 slope. Maximum height difference between both ends will still be much lower then on flat bridges.

i suspect highway limitations (cats eyes) are somehow tied to this also.
I suspect changing it would interere with alot of code.
but what do i know.

From what I can see, it's not techincal limitations. Making this change would involve editing one variable from 20 to 23.

[Wilczan 2,048]

Just imagine those 3 tile long ramps to second floor instead clumsy 4-tile long ; )

Isn't it small change in formula calculating bridge max slope from 20 to 23? Anyone from WU modders could check how it looks, please?

I solve that by raising the ground 3 slope at ground end of the bridge..

From the ground - yes.

But if you want to make a ramp from the floor to the 2 floors upper/lower, it's 62 slope, so you need to use 4 bridge tiles. 23 would just gave more flexibility.

 

But it's not the main reason why I would like that change. Main reason is bigger slope difference between both ends at realy long bridges, where every 3 slopes per tile would give much better results. For example, if bridge has 30 tiles, it's additional 90 slope height difference for flat bridge.

If that is all there is to it, I want to be able to make 40 slope ramps.

I've heard that now it's impossible to embark wagon through the floors by using openings, so maybe it's time.
