which set of graphics have you used? opengfx or original?
could you post a list?
and how often will this be updated?

its exactly the same files as in the wiki link provided above, the pack provided to avoid the click fest that required to download all 29 tar files currently hosted.
so next time a user asks you how to get this newgrf you are using you can provide him with simple instruction of how to get it (a little publicity to entice the crowds and with it will come more to our ranks)

i will keep updating releasing updated packs but its only a temporary solution, until there will be an official solution like the one discussed in this thread
in case anyone want to do this as well its very simple just update your files with the latest from the repository, create your archive, double scan it, upload it using a service like this: http://www.gazup.com/ post links here. (torrent will be nice too but i recall reading it hasnt had much use in the past)

new user friendly pack, first post updated.

Thanks for mentioning that link. I've updated the binaries with those that I've posted.

i am not sure what the point of Includes OpenGfx, if its a 'User Friendly Pack' than include OpenSfx and the latest 32Bpp compilation as well, for a "one click stop" experience ... otherwise its better to leave it out (if they downloaded the rest they probably dl OpenGfx too)

also packing it as tar file will be nice, even better a base tar and optional tar's to allow more customization on our part. (like the new toolbar icons that not everyone may like).


EDIT: i reedited the post, it seems that long working hours makes my posts even less readable.

No, please don't include OpenSFX. It's much more easily downloaded through Online Content, and it's much more easily maintained/updated through online content.

plus its about 10MB so adds quite a bit to the download size

I wonder why you want to add these 3.5MB per download as a ballast. For most people it certainly isn't necessary as they'll already have it (after all it can be downloaded via the installer); thus it will eat bandwidth of both the server and the users and not add anything...

And yes, adding OpenSFX certainly makes even less sense.

well you cant get to the online content without the OpenSFX in the first place(the game wont start)

Besides its a bit annoying for someone new that want to play the 32BPP version, to have to download the main version + the OpenSFX + OpenGFX first, then download 32Bpp version, then copy OpenSFX + OpenGFX from the main version to the 32BPP version, then download the 32Bpp flies, then edit the cfg .....

its suppose to be ' User Friendly Pack' not the ' User Friendly Pack, the sado masochist version'
so what i suggest is a all in one download pack, just DL and play And a second clean tar pack, without any additional OpenGFX that we can DL our self.

Why would you need that? If you installed the base files properly to the right location [TM] there's no need anywhere for copying anything around. Last time I checked the appropriate information were found in section 4.2 of the readme.

The cfg might need editing, if you want it for two different OpenTTDs you can just edit the cfg in the local binaries' dir.

isn't the ottd installer puts them to the Game Folder\data ?

I would hope that it puts all content into something like "My Files\OpenTTD\data" where it is accessible by all OpenTTD installs. But then... I never used an installer.

I have updated the TAR file with the coast tiles. I have included the desert sprites for lakes and some temperate rivers.

How do 32bpp graphics work right now? Are missing graphics represented by black boxes?

No, by the 8bpp sprites

@Wasila, nope, the 8bpp looks exactly the same and the new 32Bpp sprites just offer more details.
if you use the fullzoom, than 8Bpp sprites will just be stretched with a special algorithm (iirc its Hqx now)

as for the 32Bpp at fullzoom they look amazing and much greater level of details, here is some screenys
i really cant wait for some of our great GRF sets teams to start working with it, just consider how good those planes/trains models could look like

Two updates:

• Landscape without lines from Ben Robbins (a single TAR file)
• Alltaken landscape (tiles without grass)

The coal piles was modeled by Slye_Fox and Wacki. I will add more updates, because I forgot the license files.

These files works as GRF files, You must enable it in new GRF window.

So this means that I can use this pack and what's missing will just be OpenGFX? Cool.

Also where can I get my hands on the zoom levels patch? I no see it in the development thread.

there are links in the first post for the 32bit and the 64bit version.
