As best as I can tell, it needs only one thing ... CODING!

Thanks for the comments.

And another update:

It'll replace the smallest HQ. Maybe a bit to much advertising for an oil group.

EDIT: Cars drawn by OZ. Recolored by me

Skidd, nice work on all of the sprites!

In the last one, I think the colours are just a little too vivid. It makes them stand out from the rest of the architecture a bit much. But other than that, great!

Is it possible to have road vehs drive on the road tiles?

I still have problems with the lightness of the ttd sprites.

Better? Aside the two cars on the parking lot will be in CC and 2nd CC.

I'm not so deep into NFO. But I think they'll be only fake.

By the way only two buildings are missing and my time is limited. Is there a coder out there.

Yes mate, looks nice!

The only thing that stands out now (to me, anyway) is the roof seems a little empty/featureless (Compared to the shading etc. on the other buildings around). Maybe a bit more texturing, some weathering on it?

Or, if it was larger, you could have added a helicopter pad.

Sure the roof was simple, but finding photos of petrol station roofs is quite hard

. But you gave me the idea to use google earth. Now I think it's finished.

Never heared of a heli pad on a petrol station.

That looks much better, very nice

Keep it up

Skidd, its great!

every improvement really moves it on!

Sorry to add yet another thing - The grass seems to stand out but I think in a temperate map it will look fine.

Is there any way of making the grass appear from the current terrain type? Maybe when coded?

Im looking forward to a release of this collection!

Yes, I draw them for temperate first. But they will be adapted to the terrain type. This is already in planning.
I've got no problems with constructive criticism, I like it.

Edit:
Here are the full grapics. 2nd Bank and medium HQ are only missing.

CMircea · Post by **CMircea** » 28 Apr 2007 15:11

The 2nd HQ needs a few cars. And the grass should also change to snow/tropical grass.

I'm going to be annoying and ask you to do a British HQ set too. Seeing as your drawing skills are of a rather good quality.

Cars will be added.
I don't know if it is possible to have 2 diffrent versions of a HQ type in only one climate. Any NFO expert out there?

Someone asked earlier!

My answer is the same as before:
Maybe...

So 2nd bank is ready.

Amarillo national bank.

A cute tripple post.

I played a bit with the 1st HQ. Like Desolator suggested. Here is the result.

I hope you've been following the US Road Set Completion thread. It looks like they are planning on having a different road surface for the early years.

Sure, but I'll finish it first, before I extend it.

If other artists want to join the project they are welcome.
