[UNIV]Thomas the tank engine set [Coder Needed]

[WWTBAM]

Ok thanx. Im just not sure if people have used the pallete on the TTDPatch wiki or the old one on Purno's Tutorials. Ive used the one on purno's Tutorials before he updated to be the same as the one on the TTDPatch Wiki.

Don't worry then. Converting Purno's old palette to the proper one doesn't lead to visible differences.

After months of inactivity. Here is a quote of the discusion I had with dragonhorseboy on irc.

14:02:06 <roboboy> what do you think for when the Brit TV Series deviated from the books?
14:02:21 <roboboy> which way should the set go?
14:02:28 <dragonhorseboy> hmm canset finally got a major update in march ... I might have to try it again finally
14:03:05 <dragonhorseboy> roboboy well...last I recall mentioning about that..there's very few movie-only characters but a ton of books-only characters ... so I guess going with the book wouldn't be any harm
14:03:15 <dragonhorseboy> (aside to some small changes such as not having a black James etc)
14:03:49 <dragonhorseboy> seriously tho I think book has a better variety of locomotives to be able to use
14:04:04 <dragonhorseboy> especially several different mainline diesels (rather than only BoCo alone in the movie as far as I recall)
14:05:01 <roboboy> but Annie and Clarabell were shorter in the tv than the books and the twins were blue in the books
14:05:19 <roboboy> or thats what DanMack said in the thread
14:11:55 <roboboy> so what do you think?
14:12:47 <dragonhorseboy> well they were black but asked to be repainted blue when it had been decided that they woudl stay
14:13:34 <roboboy> so which way should the set go?
14:14:34 <dragonhorseboy> well...I guess black but at some point could offer refit option for blue paintjob?
14:14:55 <roboboy> so black for now
14:14:58 <dragonhorseboy> yeah
14:15:05 <roboboy> what about annie and clarabell?
14:15:13 <roboboy> short or long?
14:15:39 <dragonhorseboy> hmm not sure to be honest
14:16:04 <dragonhorseboy> and on that note I recall that they were actually bogie at one point .. can't recall if this was in the original book or only on the hornby layout of the author's
14:17:00 <roboboy> annie and clarabell? Dan said the longer ones were the books which were bogie but the short tv werent
14:17:07 <roboboy> or thats what I remember
14:18:57 <dragonhorseboy> hmm well....
14:19:16 <dragonhorseboy> why not just refit the express coach with an orange paintjob? easier than a new seperate wagon just for one locomotive
14:19:46 <dragonhorseboy> and the 2-axle version could also have a red paintjob option (that was what james and edward used in early tv series even)

[DanMacK]

I'd say have Annie and Clarabelle as a "Non-Corridor Suburban Coach" - with a Parameter for long or short. it allows for a generic version to be behind the other engines, and also allows the option for Thomas. This way you're using an ID for a functional style of coach. I'd say slightly lower capacity and lower speed compared to the Knapford Express coaches.

If anyone has an opinion please post so we can get sprites finished and then work on getting a coder.

can somebody post the links for the thomas set? i have no idea where toget the grf

EDIT: Can any one approve my topic poll?

If the grf isn't posted/linked in the thread, it probably doesn't exist.

EDIT: Can any one approve my topic poll?

No.

[trainman1432]

well can you at least tell me how to change my user picture(i should really make a new topic)


edit: then why does roboboy have it

Still anyone think this is good?

[Spirit of Trains]

Could be improved but still good to me. When is this set gonna be released? No pressure on any though.

[SquireJames]

It's dead. This GRF is dead, this project is dead, everybody is dead Dave.

[Spirit of Trains]

No offense, but HOW do you know THAT!?

[SquireJames]

Maybe because the original artist hasn't posted in this thread for THREE YEARS? and hasn't posted on this forum since September 2012?

So how about you stop necroing threads for no purpose whatsoever. I've reported quite a few of your posts now for that, and for randomly spamming other peoples threads with thinly veiled adverts for your own abortive project. Give it a rest, Please

[trainman1432]

well, is it possible to get a release?(anytime soon?)

[kamnet]

Considering that a coder has not been found in seven years, I highly doubt it.

[Supercheese]

Well, if someone would compile all the completed graphics (and sound effects, if they exist) and their license information in one convenient place, it would make finding a coder rather much easier.
