32-bit Experimental Graphics for OpenTTD 32bpp

I welcome you!

I had separate topic 32bpp, primary was removed Darkvater,
Secondary was blocked Alltaken.
Third was blocked Raichase.

Is next attempt to open theme of the images for OpenTTD 32bpp

There I showed examples of work of the models.

I shall bring responses of some people, which saw it in work:

Nappe1 wrote: The main thing in screenshots is, their sprites tilt to make them look moving more naturally in slopes.
Engine seems to have brand new elements, that include using some sort of Vector Graphics with bitmapping
(simple texturing) for sprites. (SVG perhaps? translation engines screw up these very well.)

While I was developing editing tools for Need for Speed series games
(Mostly for NFS3 and NFS4) there were these extremely talented Russian guys
Living somewhere mid-Siberia. They did marvelous work with very limited tools,
But duew bad connections to east, their site was most of the time inaccessible.
The quality was there, but the language and connections was lacking.
This is like living same thing all over again.

LordOfThePigs wrote: It also seems that these guys have implemented a way for vehicles to tilt in slopes,
Using some simple pixel displacement algorithm
(Just take the original sprite and move every column of pixels up one pixel once every two columns).
Which would be why their trains seem to follow the slopes but still have both their vertical ending look vertically aligned.

Yours faithfully to all participants of a forum!

Sergey.
For the information:
On today - 15 March 2007, structure of unit
http://lidars.narod.ru/Index.files/Page1168.htm - Game Resources and Add-ons for OpenTTD 32bpp...
Includes only 61 pages of a format htm,
156 real copies of the screen in the standard PNG,
Including 77 files for a platform OpenTTD 32bpp,
The general(common) size of a site makes 80 Mb.

Specially for my friends and admirers from Czechia!
(On today you 14 men)

I show a map of city of Prague.
The real copy of the screen is executed on a map of district -
The script "Europa_10_281.scn" - size 1 685 981, date of release 21.04.2006.

I put for comparison two real copies of the screen district, made on one map.

On the first screen - image of the screen on the 8-bit official version of the version OpenTTD -
Is really used only of 150 unique colours

On the second screen - image of the screen on the 32-bit version OpenTTD 32bpp -
Is really used only of 54 318 unique colours

The urban buildings use 32-bit the graphic images of the remarkable artists:
Athanasios , Greece
BerberJesus , Germany
Brupje , Netherlands
Dmh_mac , Netherlands
Thgergo , Hungary

Pay attention to change of quality of a picture...

Yours faithfully!

Sergej

The note:
Roads use usual 8-bit of the image from the connected file "TTRS3w.grf", Zimmlock's
The screen is shown only for preliminary viewing, scale of buildings at the artists is various.

Holy.. That looks REALLY astonishing!

They do look really nice. Quite a transformation.

Sergej, can you do one screenshot with an industrial building and no urban environment in it? For example, one with the 32bit sawmill?

I show variants of the main menus for the version OpenTTD 32bpp
The graphic images are taken from a free collection of photos found in the Internet.

These files can be received under the direct references directly from here:
http://lidars.narod.ru/Files/OpenTTD/MainMenu32bpp.tar
http://lidars.narod.ru/Files/OpenTTD/Ma ... bpp_v2.tar
http://lidars.narod.ru/Files/OpenTTD/Ma ... bpp_v3.tar
http://lidars.narod.ru/Files/OpenTTD/Ma ... bpp_v4.tar

The first variant - my menu by default, I showed it(him) approximately of half-year back on Russian forum.
The second edition - name of style - Sun.
The third variant - name of style - Nature.
The fourth variant -name of style - Remix.

If who knows good collections of photos of a nature for an easy approach - please, write to me in the personal messages

Sergej

The fourth variant -name of style - Remix.

You guys have come a long, long way!

Are you ready to create a complete ottd installed with the new 32bit graphics or are you still waiting on some things?

I say this because: http://www.happypenguin.org/show?Open%2 ... t%20Tycoon

still says openttd requires the original game media, and by the looks of this it doesn't any more.

This question of very future time.

For complete replacement of the images which have been switched on in 8-bit
the version only of one file Trg1r.grf,
It is necessary to make of 4 792 images, new 32-bit.

On today, I think, is ready no more than 50 images, that makes approximately One percent !!!

So the complete version 32bpp c by the size of a tile 128*128 points is necessary really to speak that
Will be very much and very not soon!!!

But we already have got tired to wait!!!

12 years from release first 8-bit of the version have passed.

For this reason I also make attempts to show new sets, differently there is a chance to not see anything!

Sergey.

Much more than 50 images + wiki doesn't list all of them
http://wiki.openttd.org/index.php/Category:New_Graphics

OK so do we have a progress bar I can look at?

It would also be helpful to have more admins clearing up the wiki, thre seem to be errors, ommions and lots of out of date entries for this side project.

No progress bar just watch all actions happening in this forum to be well-informed.
Admins working in wiki is a bad idea since they have a lot of work to do in all other areas of ttd development. It's up to the users (it's wiki, right?) to maintain it in actual state.

Jupix wrote:Sergej, can you do one screenshot with an industrial building and no urban environment in it? For example, one with the 32bit sawmill

I show model Lumbermill , Dmh_mac , Netherlands.

It is one of the first models, is shown only for preliminary viewing,
Brightness and scale are not established, only for acquaintance with a kind of industry.

Sergej

Oh, yes. Looks astonishing, as I was expecting. I hope all the talented 32bit artists here finish their stuff soon! Would be really nice to see all this eyecandy in action.

Sergiej: Do you have or could you make 32bpp sprites of railways ?

Sergej_S wrote: ...Brightness and scale are not established...

You can say that again!

I don't know what kind of postprocessing you've been doing, but I think you're better of leaving the image as it was originaly...

EDIT: I notice you are using an old WIP version of the sawmill, you should use the one on the wiki.

EDIT2: PNG VERSION HERE http://tt-forums.net/viewtopic.php?t=14 ... &start=220 (scroll down)

Sergej_S, dmh_mac, other artists
I would propose the artists to scale (or re-render) their images for Sergej in accordance with the requirements from Sergej. This would have two advantages: (1) the images will be of the highest quality and looking as the artists want them to look, (2) if the artists render their images for Sergej this would assume their permission for Sergej to use the images.

Please, correct me if anything is wrong.

This one :

i think that 32bpp sawmill should lay on more tiles than in orginal
