Hi,

if voting it is still actual, for me prototype BUS 4 ( T16=4+8+4 ) looks most realistic.

In my opinion, It is not a problem that vehicle has some glitches in tunnels. Most important that on normal roads and junctions it looks as realistic as possible. I is really funny when bus splits in 2 parts on a hil :-)

For trucks it would be alright to split.

George, just do nothing till openttd developers provide necessary interface for long vehicles OR make a patch :-)

. I think community will support your patch and will vote for it.

That's too bad. I'll have to stick to eGRTVS. I like this one better cause of the trucks, but the turning stinks. It's just not neat having the whole body turn. eGRTVS managed to do this, so maybe ask for help from them, if they still exist...

Why not just downsize the sprites? Long Vehicles currently look outsized anyway.

I'd be pleased with a better scaled version too, but the amount of work would be eye watering!

I too would rather have down scaled sprites, i have some down scaled buses in the NARVS set that look alright though the length could use some work

Hi George

Any plans to restart/continue LV5?

It would be awesome to have more trucks and buses than in LV4 :mrgreen:

Not earlier than xUSSR train set would come out.
That means NOT soon.

Oh boy, I'm getting old. I watched that movie in primary school. Had some cliffhangers, so to say.

haha sure does make you feel old. wish i knew how to make this for ttd i think it would be awesome!

Im thinking if something like that where made, it would probably be in the future. Though I doubt people would like having a nuclear powered bus running through their cities and country. Maybe a bus this big would have something like a small locomotive engine or a huge truck engine.

I upgraded Openttd to 1.2.0, and I got this message when loading my savegame:

NewGRF 'Long vehicles v4 (13 jan 2008)'
provides incorrect information

Callback 0x11 returned unknown/invalid
result 0x19

I have two settings that might be causing this problem:

Road traffic is "Left".

Enable multiple NewGRF engines sets is "Off".

Also, some of the vehicles have the frontal part clipped in the menus.

Would not be fixed in LV4
Would be fixed in LV5 in case a solution is found

George, wait for Update Long Vehicles version 5 next month or not.

in case of LV4, you could try using extra_callback_info1 (var 10) to select a sprite with different x-offset for the vehicle GUI (lists, details, depot, etc.)

in case of LV5, if you make use of articulated vehicles, then you need to make sure the sprite is aligned properly for the front vehicle, the sprite should not "stick out to the front". since you probably use var61 to change the sprite appearance for the vehicle parts, then you also should use extra_callback_info1 to circumvent this magic for the GUI sprites.
