"Dams" can be directly placed on river slope tiles now:

This is a new feature of TTDPatch r2331:
- Added: Building objects on water now preserves the water bits, and restores the water tile on removal.
BTW, what´s the correct Spanish term for "Hydro-electric power plant"? "Central hidráulica"?

Heljan Container Terminal

Post by kamnet »

I'll get back to the dam sometime, not feeling inspired to work on it right now.

Meanwhile, I've been looking at industrial stations and this container terminal created by model railroading company Heljan:

So I'm slowly trying to recreate that. Rudimentary sprites so far:

It's either twisted, or leaning upwards:

Yep, it's twisted. I'm going off a drawing that isn't quite isometric, trying to play it by eye. :D

Truck & Bus Lots

Post by kamnet »

Truck & Bus Lots v. 0.1 - Released on 12/01/2010

Code based on RobC's bus and lorry lots, version 0.1 simply removes all of the walls/fences/etc from around the truck and bus lots so that they can fit together seemlessly as one large lot, based on the OpenGFX colors for roads. Future revisions plan to add matching lots for other popular road replacement NewGRFs as well as alternate designs for the lots.

Release thread is here. NFO & PCX files are posted below.

We do need some rocks for NewObjects. Right now there is a download for the old TTD Objects, but, ahem, we can't legally distribute them *grin* Maybe I'll work on that sometime.

This is already a work in progress by me for OpenGFX. 8)

wallyweb prefers the white ... better contrast for those low flying pilots to see.
Also, I used the lighter colour on my microwave horn tower because that's what it is in real life. 8)

I have a brain? OH! WAIT! You mean that gray stuff between my ears that keeps leaking out every time I headbang my keyboard? :roll:

Re: Heljan Container Terminal

Post by kamnet »

Took a few minutes (okay, two hours) to start taking another crack at my container terminal. No attempt at shading or colors or anything, what's put in place is just to help work up the basic shape.

Are you still doing some work on the dams? For example different rotated views?

I would like to build this in my game of The Netherlands:

No I've not had time to work on sprites in a very long time. That's why I put up these graphics here. Anybody is free to either take the sprites and work on them, or use them s inspiration for their own work.

I'm not quite sure how you'd create sprites that would make the one in your example photo unless you essentially created a new bridge for both road and rail. There probably wouldn't be any guarantee that it would work with any other NewGRF road, rail, bridge or city sets except the base TTD/OpenGFX graphics. But, if somebody wants to work on it, be my guest!

One could create a NewObjects Newgrf which allows bridges being built over them. This could mimic a similar thing maybe...
