Description


Maintain sanity when browsing the Road toolbar.

Description
  • Adds more tabs in the Road toolbar.
    • Replaces the 3 default Small/Medium/Large road tabs with up to 7 new tabs:
      • 1U (8m) wide
      • 2U (16m) wide, ≤2 lanes
      • 2U (16m) wide, ≥3 lanes
      • 3U (24m) wide
      • 4U (32m) wide, ≤4 lanes
      • 4U (32m) wide, ≥5 lanes
      • ≥5U (≥40m) wide
    • Adds new tabs for (configurable - to some extent):
      • Pedestrianised and traffic-calmed roads
      • Rural roads
      • Industrial roads
      • Bus roads
      • Trolleybus roads
      • Tram roads
      • Bike roads
      • Monorail roads
    • Assigns all roads to the relevant tab(s), based on their properties, ignoring the hard-coded "UI category" value.
    • Adds multi-modal roads to each relevant tab. For example, a road with tram tracks and bike lanes will appear both under "Bike roads" and "Tram roads". Optionally, the mod creates a separate tab for these roads.
    • Hides any tabs that would be empty. For example, if you are not subscribed to any 1U roads, the 1U tab won't be displayed.
  • Overrides default sorting behaviour for road assets: (optional)
    • Custom roads are no longer listed after all vanilla roads. You can still filter them to only show vanilla or custom roads.
    • Sorts all roads based on width, lane count and other properties, instead of the hard-coded "UI priority" value, which is often arbitrary, especially when dealing with custom roads made by multiple creators.
    • These new sorting rules also apply to roads listed in Public transport toolbar tabs.
  • Revamps vanilla road filters (or, optionally, hides them).
    • More robust detection of "decorated" roads (i.e. those with grass or trees) from the Workshop.
    • Additional filters for roads with and without parking spaces.
  • Designed for Vanilla+ Roads but will work with any other roads.

Settings
You can customise the mod's behaviour in game:
  • Create separate tabs for bus, tram, bike, trolleybus and monorail roads
    • ON (default): Any road which contains a bus lane, tram tracks, bike lane, trolleybus wires or monorail tracks will be placed in the relevant tab(s). The road will not appear in any other tabs.
    • OFF: these tabs are not created, and the roads are grouped alongside other roads, by width etc.
  • Create an additional tab for roads with 2 or more modes of transport
    Note: "Create separate tabs for bus, tram, bike, trolleybus and monorail roads" must also be ON for this setting to take effect.
    • ON: Any road which contains at least 2 of the following: bus lanes, tram tracks, bike lanes, trolleybus wires and/or monorail tracks will be placed in a separate "Mix" tab. The road will not appear in any other tabs.
    • OFF (default): the "Mix" tab is not created, and the roads are grouped into all relevant tabs instead ("Bus", "Tram", etc.).
  • Create a separate tab for industrial roads
    • ON (default): A separate Industrial tab is created for roads introduced in the Industries or Airports DLCs and any derived roads on the Workshop. The roads will not appear under any other tab.
    • OFF: the tab is not created, and the roads are grouped alongside other roads, by width etc.
  • Treat traffic-calmed streets (25 kph/15 mph or less) as pedestrianised
    • ON (default): these roads are grouped under the "Pedestrian" tab, and will not appear under any other tab. Most pre-Plazas and Promenades DLC pedestrian roads on the Workshop fit into this category.
    • OFF: These roads will be treated as any other road, and will not appear in the Pedestrian tab. The Pedestrian tab may still be created if any "proper" (post-Plazas and Promenades DLC) pedestrian roads are present.
  • Use default game sort order for roads
    • ON: reverts to the default (unmodded) sort order for roads (based on the hard-coded "UI priority" values).
    • OFF (default): Uses this mod's custom road sorting algorithm.
  • Keep Plazas and Promenades DLC roads in their own tab
    • ON: Any roads added in the DLC are untouched by the mod and remain in their own tab.
    • OFF (default): The custom tab is removed, and the roads sorted into the relevant tabs (Pedestrian and Bus).
  • Keep Bridges and Piers DLC roads in their own tab
    • ON (default): Any roads added in the DLC are untouched by the mod and remain in their own tab.
    • OFF: The custom tab is removed, and the roads sorted into the relevant tabs (by type and width).
  • Keep custom road tabs generated by other mods or DLCs
    • ON (default): Any roads found in tabs created by other mods, except NExt2, or any other (future) DLCs are untouched by the mod and remain in their own tab.
    • OFF: The custom tabs are removed (unless they contain buildings and other objects) and any roads found in them grouped into the relevant tabs.
  • Show road filters (e.g. 1-way/2-way) in each tab
    • ON (default): Road filters are shown.
    • OFF: Road filters are hidden.

Compatibility
  • Roads
    • Vanilla+ Roads ✔️
    • Most if not all other road assets from the Workshop ✔️
    • Network Extensions 2 ✔️(Replaces NExt 2 toolbar tabs)
  • Toolbar-related mods

@td-racing

That feature you are asking about is actually part of a different mod called Resize It! They both work fine together.

I'm still only showing one row for the icons of the roads. Mine does not show that little icon in the author pics with the arrows to select number of rows. I can't find anything in the settings. Unsub and Resub?? Any ideas guys?

agree, really hope that "remastered" version is ported to pc

It utterly kills me that this exists by default on the console version of this game, but not this PC version.

之前一直可以用,但今天我無法分區,無法出現任何建築物,取消訂閱後分區恢復正常.

I suggest using icons instead of text to fix the issue of oversized tab bar. Also, the text makes the ui extremly ugly, no idea why the author choose to do it this way.
