Farm Set!

Would anyone be interested if I re-created the farms for TTD?
It'll take me awhile to create it, (if there is demand), so you'll have to be patient. Things I had in mind, adding machinery to the farm yard, adding livestock to the pens, stuff like that. Feel free to add anything.

Well, uh, sure, go right ahead and do that if that's what you're interested in doing.

Off-course , farms are one of the nicest industries, they bring color to the landscape
Although I don't know how you will do that
You can't just add a machine on the farmland, this changes so quickly
I think they would pop up just about everywhere

I once had the idea of replacing the haystacks with machines..
But it was too hard and it still popped up everywhere

if it would be possible to use farms with animals from AsiaSet ... anyone remember ??

If you could make the vehicles/animal appear at random it would be nice. But plz try your skills on the farms. I'm curious whatever you come up with.

I think I'm mistaken here, I'm not going to add machinery to the fields, but to the housing area. (farmyard) The fields will stay the same for now, maybe if I have enough time I'll change the fields to something like canola. Have some nice bright yellow.

Heh, I shouldn't have even asked. I'm going to abandon this project.

If someone would like to do this, feel free. Sorry if you were really waiting for this.

why you quit

Hyronymus · Post by **Hyronymus** » 09 Nov 2003 11:46

Yeah, we feel robbed

! Did anyone pm you with a threat?!

way_2_fun · Post by **way_2_fun** » 10 Nov 2003 00:16

No, no threatening PM. In these 'modern' days, people become important, or in my case, would like to be important. My work was getting less by the minute, and I'm employed now at a new place, which will eat up A LOT more of my free time, and pay out well! (I'll be working this job while I'm farming too, mind you) Luckily, there is a computer at my new work place, (with dial-up), so I'll be able to visit here while I 'work'. But to complete this farm set, no way. And hell, I can't even get the graphics to work with my TTD, which is annoying, which also plays a big role in me quitting.
Well I sure hope someone will continue this, *hint*, because 29 votes, I think people would like beefed up farms.
Edit, If nobody grants to take this over, it will be abondoned, and someday I just may continue it, 'cause hell, someday the boss has to hate me, that's life. So I pleed someone to finish this, your ideas may not be what I had in mind, but I'd like it to happen either way. Somethings that I had in mind, -see attachment-, truck hauling bales to 'bale shed', and livestock in the pen (nice graphic skills eh?), and I was possibly going to add manure to the pen aswell, to give you a taste of what we go through. The silos were already made big, so I was to leave them alone, the house was going to get some work, how about some grass and a lawn-mower? And a swing for the kids? And the last and possibly most hard, change the crop. I was thinking canola, it fits into the TTD theme, canola is harvasted, trucked or trained to the factory, and made into the great thing known as 'butter.' (goods) What'dya think. If someone wants to continue this, PM me if you wish, to get more detailed information, or more ideas, it's your call, [o'heavenly master of graphic creater.] Your name goes there.

I like those

troopper5 · Post by **troopper5** » 10 Nov 2003 15:09

Yea, I like them too. But (always "but"...), when you repaint one farm screen, i thought that all of them will change themselves, so it looks quite strange when in game. Am I right?

the 29 posts are becuas people want these farms, but don't want to do any work

Thanks, I have 1 person considering to take on this project, if he decides not to, and nobody else will, I can find time to draw these graphics, and e-mail / PM to someone to distribute to others. Is this possible? Because I cannot do that part, for as easy as it is, it's to hard for me.

The challange is to design tools that others can learn easily. Really i would love to have the time to do it too.

way_2_fun · Post by **way_2_fun** » 10 Nov 2003 19:17

Well I have the basic idea of how to use the GRFWizard, but I seem to be doing something wrong.

Not specifically with the Wizard, but possibly somewheres else?

way_2_fun · Post by **way_2_fun** » 12 Nov 2003 01:18

Well with help with some good people, they are ready.
Zips contain a exe with livestock graphics and the truck graphics, either DOS or WIN.
I'm new to this, so excuse me if you get something you shouldn't.
And a special thanks to Marcel, because without him none of this would have happened.

what about farm tiles (outside industry)?

troopper5 · Post by **troopper5** » 12 Nov 2003 11:43

That's what I meant earlier...

Tiles outside can change to quite a puzzle.
