Re: VAST Development Thread
Problem is semi-transparent objects need a non-transparent ground sprite, which is problematic for stations, since the ground sprite changes for different rail types. Should be noticeable in VAST if you build anything using monorail. The quick solution is to use the default flat rail sprite (#1011/1012) as the ground sprite, but since the rail covers the whole tile, semi-transparent objects would have rails underneath. It isn't a problem for electrified/non electrified though. So right now the "solution" is to not use monorail/maglev for such objects. Unless I am missing something code wise?planetmaker wrote:Ah, that's nice, too That opens yet another eye-candy possibility.

Anyway. What to do with this? It needs something...

I know that it may be boring etc
But what about coding (end including to VAST) that: It is Red*Star's work uncoded from 4 years.

Re: VAST Development Thread
Those squares are coded already, the newgrf they're in hasn't been officially released yet though as there is no readme for it yet

Re: VAST Development Thread
So is it possible to releace without readme? I think that VAST majority of users of that forum are able to build stations without proper readme.

Re: VAST Development Thread
May I ask why the paths are pink, of all colors? Where'd the original for that come from?
Anyway, I have never seen a pink path. I would think they're more gravelish gray/ochre or asphaltish black.

Re: VAST Development Thread
The colour they currently are is a compromise between bright pink and dark red, both of which look worse (see first post). The colour comes from how I remembered the parks to look in SimCity 3000 (until about 5 minutes ago when I actually checked - they are pinker there, see this page). I am not completely happy with them either, so I will try to come up with something better. Grey paths will be in the next releaseoberhümer wrote:May I ask why the paths are pink, of all colors?

Re: VAST Development Thread
Please keep the pinkey paths. I like them.
Ofcourse I would not mind additional gravel, dirt or other pavement colours.
Btw. Thank you for those slope tiles. I did not think you would have them so fast available after the request.
Also, according to a discussion I have read, there are only 32 slots for station sets.
Would it be possible to limit the slot use in some way please?
ps: Lovely how the trees change colour according to season.

Re: VAST Development Thread
I know some stations have pinky/red paths running up to them. They get quite slippery when wet. As I found out to my cost running for a train at Stourbridge Town!
I love this idea so far. Building good looking stations is all part of the game.

Re: VAST Development Thread
v0.2.13 [2010-07-22]
Afternoon,
0.3.0 is almost complete, so here's the sum of everything that has gone into it. There are a few more tiles I want to include but the current structure of VAST should stay the same.
Changelog for 0.2.5 ->> 0.2.13
New behaviour:
1) The first parameter is a bitmask that allows classes to be disabled. Useful if you don't want to clutter the build menu with classes that will not be used (there is currently a limit of 31 custom station classes ingame) . Simply add up the values of classes that you want to disable and set the first parameter to this value.
e.g. to disable Ground and Gardens, set the first parameter to 5.
2) The second parameter can be used to disable some tiles within classes. Currently it handles the disabling of red and grey paths. Useful if you won't use one of the ranges of tiles and don't want it taking up space in the build menu.
Set to 1 to disable red paths.
Set to 2 to disable grey paths.
Disabling Paths in the first parameter will override the second parameter.
===============
What's left for 0.3.0 ?
1) A few extra trees + parks that look good on paper.
2) Bug fixing.
3) Rearrange tile order within classes
4) Other stuff. Any requests? Anything that isn't a big change (like a new class) could go in.
Enjoy

Green areas and large public spaces, 2 "stations" currently - Ground
Added grass and mud tiles with random variations. References the base grass/dirt tile, so whatever your base set uses (or has been overridden by)
Added plaza base tiles - Paths
Pinkey paths are staying and grey paths are in, so feel free to choose
Added full variations for ramps
Added extra shrubs to corner tiles
Downscaled benches (approx 6/tile)
Added EN-US strings (grey > gray) - Gardens
Tweaked flowerbeds
Added extra flowerbed
Added potted shrubs
Added topiary on grass
Copper brown is more copper and less brown - Statues and Fountains
Added 2 variations

1) The first parameter is a bitmask that allows classes to be disabled. Useful if you don't want to clutter the build menu with classes that will not be used (there is currently a limit of 31 custom station classes ingame) .

Code: Select all
===================================
Class | Value
===================================
Ground | 1
Paths | 2
Gardens | 4
Statues and Fountains | 8
Parks and Plazas | 16

A tarmac road path interface tile might be useful - perhaps with bollards or a barrier across it?4) Other stuff. Any requests? Anything that isn't a big change (like a new class) could go in.

Re: VAST Development Thread
Just had a quick look around at the grf in game and I must say I am most impressed. Thank you for your efforts. I will be looking forward to v0.3.

Re: VAST Development Thread
Hmmm, maybe some play parks, playing fields, public amenities, things of that nature.
Re: VAST Development Thread
You know what frightens me? He isn't on his way to having version 1.0 (either "final" or "feature complete"), he's still at 0.3.
HE WILL BE ADDING MORE TILES! That's madness, man!
Keep up the excellent work.
