32bit Extra Zoom Graphics Works In Progress

[Lord Aro]

mostly because quite a few of the sprites on the repo are not 'ready' for usage and are therefore not included in the megapack (which, btw, is pulling sprites from this repo)

[vorius]

Thanks for your help!

I also realized that the megapack I downloaded was the 'stable' version which only had 36 of the gfx improvement packages in it, but there is a dev version further down the page with over a 100 of the packages! So I downloaded that one and now I am seeing A LOT more high resolution sprites! Still no regal bus though oddly - maybe the regal bus I am thinking of that I can build in 1950 is not the same one that that graphics package is for?

[Lord Aro]

i dunno, it should be included
i have seen it in the pack before..

either way, the megapack is 'permanently outdated now' - wait until you start seeing 32bpp sprites in your standard OGFX

Can you help me? I'v done everything in the instruction, but got one bug - have no town names (1.1.0 build is a problem, has no town names even without ExtraZoom apply).

Thanks in advance!

[FLHerne]

Have you tried [Toolbar]->[Settings]->[Town names displayed]? (It's in the drop-down menu)

Actually, that might not have existed in 1.1.0. Can't remember

I've managed fix it myself - just deleted profile

[relu19]

can any on this be used with zbase?

[kamnet]

As long as you re-compile the graphics to follow the new standard, sure.

[relu19]

have no idea how to do that

No one combine those two? it will be a great patch

[kamnet]

I'm sure some people have, but if you read up on the discussion, you'll see that nobody is going to release this publicly until all of the licensing and distribution issues can be cleared up. Feel free to tackle that project, or do as others have and learn how to compile it for yourself. If others can learn to do it, you can as well. It's not magic and the steps are very clear and direct.

I have the create.txt , the png files and the empty.pcx in the same folder.
what program do I need to run the txt file?

Hi, first of all i'm sorry if i ask stupid questions, I'm new here.

I managed to add 32bpp images for almost all graphics. Thank you guys for all your hard work it looks great.

I still have some issues if anyone can help me please. I'm not sure if was not implemented yet, are bugs or I didn't find the right tar archives for that.
It will be great if anyone could clarify this for me.

image 1: few foundations, a few trees and the stadium are not 32bpp
image 2: armored cargo and transmitter
image 3: (I guess this is a bug) bridge is missing a block







Thank you in advance, i hope I wrote this in the right thread.

later edit - I found the transmitter here: http://jupix.info/openttd/gfxdev-repo/i ... act=browse
but for the rest of them - a few houses from 1950, planes, armored cargo some foundations, boats, some trees I couldn't find.
I know the pack is not complete but maybe someone has some unfinished work

http://jupix.info/openttd/gfxdev-repo/i ... act=browse is the only place here I can find 32bit graphics?

The set wasn't complete yet. You may want to consider using zBase to address the issues of the missing stadium, foundation and bridge graphics. There is much better support for the trains in OpenGFX+ Trains, which now includes 32-bpp versions.

[relu19]

didn't know that OpenGFX+ Trains is compatible with zBase. Thanks.

I have a saved game (zBase), there's any way to make the trains visible there also?

Yes, but only if you're willing to enable the developer mode, and agree to adhere to the big red box that pops up and warns you that adding or removing NewGRFs in a save game may have unintended consequences, including making your game unplayable, and that you will not complain or otherwise report these issues to the developers. Search the General OpenTTD topic for how to do this.

If you plan to add them to an existing game: OpenGFX+ Trains in parts DOES modify the default trains to an extend that the game WILL become broken beyond repair (promised, I wrote it, I know where it breaks and when). Not all engines are affected, thus without doubt it depends on which engines you have already running. It WILL unconditionally break use of certain wagons, a fact which you might then solve by selling all those affected wagons and buying new ones.

All this of course ONLY, if you add the NewGRF to an existing game. If you work in a way it's meant to be used, configure the NewGRFs before you generate the game or create the scenario, then you'll have no problem.

[relu19]

I see, thank you for your answers.

You did a great job and i hope there will be new newgrfs with more detailed houses, industries etc.

Despite popular belief, new things are not created by magic. Instead someone creates the art, and someone codes it into a NewGRF.
If you like 32bpp and want more, the best way to get it is to do (some of) this work yourself.

[relu19]

that's why I said "YOU DID".
I'd like to help but I don;t have the necessary skills nor time..
