I have updated the file "brupje_houses_preview.tar". I have changed the name (brupje_houses.tar), modified the 1×1 cottage (It was too big), and optimized some sprites (removing some large transparent areas). I think that it should load a bit faster.

Also, I prefer overlapping ground tiles, They looks better when You bulldoze one tile, or in road ends.

I have to agree with that...

Unfortunately I fear that it's either the current glitches or this tile-change. Maybe only change it for tiles that are actually glitching and only in places where they glitch. Dunno how feasible that is though. Or how it ends up looking...

I have optimized these three files, I think that They should load faster, because I have removed some transparent areas.

Maybe these files could be added only in the 32 bpp patch, in a different GRF file (maybe named 32bpp.GRF). This doesn't force changes in trunk.

I have coded the farm tiles, because they was one pixel moved up.

More TAR files.

Latest TAR files.

More updates and fixes:

Two files more:

This is a update of the file industry_preview.tar

I has some files:

• northstar2 fruit plantation
• Wacki coal mine (1)
• ZxBiohazardZx refinery tiles (1 and 2)
• Two base tiles, based on Ben Robbins bare tiles.

I have scaled up the two first stages of the refinery tanks. The coal tiles are awesome, but I think that a brown color would fit better between other tiles. The fruit trees are awesome. Also, the coal mine buildings are good, but I haven't coded it.

i sent a message in the post"33bpp megapack" because many trucks were missing in the pack.


maybe it should be useful to make a sorting of theses models(most of them are in blue) to have an updated pack of trucks.

Yes, there is too many problems with some trucks.

Hello

I am wondering, why do you make the windows original graphics a dependency. I made locally some tests and of course failed with opengfx, as it doesn't have the same sprite numbers for the extra (newgrf) part, file openttd[w|d].grf. As this is a newgrf.

But why not coding all 32bpp graphics as NewGRFs? It would be very easy, if you still like to support 8bpp too, you could use the OpenGFX as template. I made a fast php script to show what I mean, here is example for the GUI, you have the nfo code at the bottom.

(Edit: removed some sprites for a faster example)

pros:
- independent from base graphcis set (not just originals <-> opengfx, also the other formats like dos, dos_de or what ever.)
- openttdw.grf sprites doesn't depend on changes there anymore
- easy enable/disable the 32bpp graphics for debugging etc.

cons:
- Needs a newgrf, but that would allow to make 8bpp replacement in same step

If there is interests, I would uplaod a demo grf...

This is the Regal bus, but driving in the other side.

I have fixed a mask file, and I have changed the offsets. I think that it should fit better in the bus station. If You like it, I can change the offsets of the other buses.

I have created a small GRF file. It allows build some station tiles based on original sprites. It's like PGS bare tiles.

Some time ago I modeled some 32 bpp bridges. These bridges replaces the bridges from Total Bridge Renewal Set.

I think that is better use a new GRF with these new bridges. This only replaces the repeated default bridges, modeled by northstar2.

This new GRF file has three new bridges:

• Truss bridge: allows a span of 8 tiles, and is enabled from the early years. It's not very well modeled and It looks a bit like... chocolate.
• Concrete beam bridge: allow very large spans and higher speed. It can be built from 1980 and is a bit more expensive.
• Urban bridge: is cheaper and slower (80 Km/h - 50 MPH). Better for cities. Thanks to the torus shape of Blender.

These properties can be changed if You suggest something better. Also, I have replaced the concrete bridge for roads because the original bridge looks a bit dangerous for road vehicles. This bridge also allows more tiles than the original (it was too short).

This bridge replacement set (New 32 bpp bridges) can't be used with toyland climate, because it takes some sprites for some new sprites. The translations doesn't work. I will upload the sourcecode files at the blender tread.

I have used the northstar2 bridge entrances, adding a concrete base.
The concrete bridge for monorail is based on the original bridge of TTO.
The urban bridge for railways is based on the original road bridge from TBRS and this bridge in the Metro of Bilbao:

I like them, a few notes though:
- The yellow one stands out a lot (brightness of color).
- Doesn't the green one have any connections between the half-circle spannings? In the example image then at least seem to have a horizontal bar near ground level. Though I could image to just add one in the top center.
- Do the ramps all have to have blue rims? What about using different colors for road/track?

Your also missing the fundamental cantilever and suspension bridges needed for any long crossings.

I will use green rims in railway. I have these two ramps coded, I only need replace the sprites.
I will decrease a bit the saturation of the yellow and green bridges, the horizontal bar could be interesting, but the bridge is not a copy, It only takes the idea.

I haven't replaced all suspension or cantilever bridges.

maybe it could be possible to use the northstar2 suspension and cantilever bridges,with different colors to fit with your models?
i don't know if it's hard or long to render theses sprites with other colors and assembly them but it's just an idea.
