Here are a my thoughts so far:
- replace the street lamps with some kind of flying tinsel or paper pieces (animation clircles)
- replace the road works with a party crowd (needs 6 sprites 2x ground + 4x crowd and adapted language strings)
'
Road works?? I thought no one used them in multiplayer anymore...
I try to draw something more too. In example the some of the interface elements should be changed too, I think. I'll let you all know, when I have drawn something
Anyway I didn't get the names working correctly so I would appreciate help as a copy-paste of sprite four or anything like that. If anyone think's that I have other problems in my code too, please let me know. If someone wants to make the grf by him(her)self with the string addition, the working grf w/o strings is in previous page. I just got tired of this mystery for now.
My code without any renaming is following:
Code: Select all
// Automatically generated by GRFCODEC. Do not modify!
// (Info version 7)
// Format: spritenum pcxfile xpos ypos compression ysize xsize xrel yrel
0 * 4 03 00 00 00
1 * 32 08 06 "LA01Toll Booth" 00 "By LordAzamath" 00
2 * 5 0A 01 01 29 0A
3 sprites/customs_housew.pcx 66 8 09 46 47 -22 -33
The needed one should be sprite 4, action 04 I think. Renamed to Toll Booth or Customs House, whichever suits more

Toll road
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
(Redirected from Toll booth):
A toll road, also known as a tollway, turnpike, pike or tollpike, is a road for which a driver pays a toll (that is, a fee) for use. Similarly there are toll bridges and toll tunnels. Non-toll roads are financed using other sources of revenue, most typically gasoline tax or general tax funds. Tolls have been placed on roads at various times in history, often to generate funds for repayment of toll revenue bonds used to finance constructions and/or operation. The building or facility where a toll is collected may be called a toll booth, toll plaza, toll station, or toll gate.
EDIT: I now downloaded the GRFMaker source and am downloading TurboDelphi. I will try the last time. If GRFMaker makes wonders, I will make that grf with correct naming.
EDIT: Didn't get the compiler work, so If anyone has GRFMaker compiled, one could be nice and send it to me. I haven't found any pre-compiled binaries for GRFMaker yet, so a link would be useful too
