No it wasn't a guide to it, he just talked me through it IRC and MSN... Unless he was just reading your guide....

Dave, you made a guide to GRFMaker too? Or is it mine you just piked?

Well you didn't release a tutorial for Action A, but I did learn the basics of getting the sprite bitmap into the program from your tutorial.

The rest was just jabbing in the dark that worked, so I told Ameecher.

Now then. Thanks to much help from Worley the first version of the depot has been coded. Here is a screenshot!

Looks great! The only thing I would say, is that on the roof (nice texturing by the way) there could be some kind of shadow depending on which direction of depot it is, to define the slopes better.

argh!

that thing there is probably the greatest depot i have ever seen and you are feeding my screenshots...

Just to tease you all

A depot Complex.

Looks good Graphics_master, I hadn't realised you were an OTTD user, as for the rest of you, be patient if I don't get any errors from testing then I will release it on Wednesday at some point. It will be in this thread and on GRFCrawler, In the meantime, people who have the depot to test, please don't distribute it without my permission, and those who don't have the .grf are going to have to keep on drooling. I am currently in the process of drawing version 1.1.

Cheers for the positive feedback people

Is it actually one big depot, or is it that large because you can glue a set of depots together, where the front one picks up all the trains?

Ameecher · Post by **Ameecher** » 27 Oct 2006 16:02

It's the second one you said, I drew it so that could be placed next to each other, creating the appearance of a large depot although only the front one will 'work'

i have a very lage depot complex made of depots from (i think) the japan set that i would like to test this on...

Ameecher · Post by **Ameecher** » 27 Oct 2006 16:51

Well all I can say is this: You can see what that looks like on Wednesday then can't you.

why is there never an alpha release when the code is idiot proof? (ie. bugs are rare)....

If its idiot proof, collect all the sprites posted, and code them yourself.

Ok here it is. The waiting is over. They are here

Samwise · Post by **Samwise** » 27 Oct 2006 21:26

Wee, and I got the first download

Thanks for making those wonderfull depots!

Ameecher · Post by **Ameecher** » 27 Oct 2006 21:27

That is ok. Apparently there have been 2 downloads...

Aegir · Post by **Aegir** » 27 Oct 2006 23:53

I might later be able to give you a hand with the artwork on that, there are a few little details that are bugging me about the depot so far, edge definition mostly. If you can send me over a sprite-sheet, I'll show you what I'm talking about.
