NRT road stop graphics are incomplete

[PikkaBird]

Version of OpenTTD

13.0 b2

Expected result

NewRoadTypes allows providing custom depot sprites per roadtype; allows replacing the ground tile for stops per roadtype; but does not currently allow replacing the roadstop structure sprites per roadtype.

Roadtype Action 3 Cargo 0A should be extended with an optional 36-sprite version, which in addition to the four groundtiles for non-drive-through stops, also includes versions of:

• The 12 default bus stop sprites from sprite 2696.
• The 12 default truck stop sprites from sprite 2712.
• The 8 bus and truck drive-through stops from Action 5 type 11.

The 36-sprite version should also be available to tramtypes, with tram stops taking precedence for combined stop tiles.

This is a lightweight NewGRF feature which will allow authors to provide road- and tramtype-appropriate default graphics. It does not, as far as I can tell, conflict with a full newroadstops feature being introduced in the future. It has the nice side effect of allowing default road stops to be desert/snow aware.

Actual result

A test grf is attached which replaces the default roadstop graphics with red blocks, and adds two roadtypes; one which just uses a four-sprite Cargo 0A to replace the ground tile for stops, and one with the proposed 36-sprite version, which replaces the red block stops with green and blue blocks for buses and trucks, respectively.

Steps to reproduce

Load a newroadtype sets with very different road types, and wonder why they all have the same stop graphics.

I like a proposal which also proproses the spec :-)

And includes a test GRF for said proposed spec! 👍

Good idea. If implemented, I would do it with pleasure 👍
