Long vehicles v5. Planning

Re: Long vehicles v5. Planning
So we're slowly creeping upon 10 years when LV5 was being tested... I think the community is missing out on a lot of good gameplay here. If George is still open, perhaps a budding set developer would like to step in, maybe even make it a DevZone project? This would make a really great Christmas present.

Re: Long vehicles v5. Planning
Well, even if I'll start it today it would take a year to redo all the set. The main problem is there is still no solution to solve all the problems, specified many years ago.kamnet wrote:So we're slowly creeping upon 10 years when LV5 was being tested...

Unless some OTTD developer would provide a support for them.

Re: Long vehicles v5. Planning
What are the problems? Pretty sure most if not all types of road vehicles can be done in OpenTTD one way or another.George wrote:Well, even if I'll start it today it would take a year to redo all the set.

Re: Long vehicles v5. Planning
the problem is the graphics glitches, caused by bounding boxes sorting, and a huge code to reduce it on the GRF side, being impossible to fix all of them. It would be good if the code with the same aim, but more effective (because game code has a better and faster access to games data) would be provided on the game side. For example - 16 length wide vehicles.NekoMaster wrote:What are the problems?

Re: Long vehicles v5. Planning
Could always try what 2cc Trains did if thats at all possible, oversized vehicles in 2cc trains gets a 3 part setup where the front and back parts are invisable articulated parts for spacing while the middle is what contains the sprite.George wrote:the problem is the graphics glitches, caused by bounding boxes sorting, and a huge code to reduce it on the GRF side, being impossible to fix all of them.

I dunno if thats possible with Road vehicles, but if it can be done that might solve some issues with oversized sprites

Yes, that is possible, solution 2 in the first post. gets glitches on slopes, tunnels, bridgesNekoMaster wrote:Could always try what 2cc Trains did if thats at all possible, oversized vehicles in 2cc trains gets a 3 part setup where the front and back parts are invisable articulated parts for spacing while the middle is what contains the sprite.George wrote:the problem is the graphics glitches, caused by bounding boxes sorting, and a huge code to reduce it on the GRF side, being impossible to fix all of them.

Re: Long vehicles v5. Planning
Yes it would fix the look of it but articulated rv's can't overtake.

Re: Long vehicles v5. Planning
No. There are a set of fundamental problems that I could not solve
Re: Long vehicles v5. Planning
Overtaking Articulated Road Vehicles cannot be implemented in a GRF; it is a feature of jgr-pp but is NOT available in OpenTTD.
In jjgr-pp, you need to set 'Articulated road vehicles may overtake' to 'On' (See Settings : 'Vehicles / Physics').

Re: Long vehicles v5. Planning
For me, any option is acceptable.
I sincerely hope that you will keep the existing slightly enlarged sprits size, and also add new semi-trailers for trucks and make new pop-up painting of city and long-distance buses. These are my quiet dreams

Re: Long vehicles v5. Planning
I reviewing the development of Long Vehicles (by George) new version that succeeded to v4 is paused and did not work about years ago despite latest version 'v4' still available while did not have major updates since OpenTTD having latest new version, eventually truck sprites with semi-trailers should be functionally change like a eGRVTS, but truck with semi-trailers dropping only for 2-lane truck stop. Also, new buses and trucks we're available from 2009 to onward should be included, including electric buses and trucks.

You are free to start developing LV5 set, I can provide all the files I have, together with the required permissions.SkiddLow wrote: ↑13 May 2023 12:47 I reviewing the development of Long Vehicles (by George) new version that succeeded to v4 is paused and did not work about years ago despite latest version 'v4' still available while did not have major updates since OpenTTD having latest new version, eventually truck sprites with semi-trailers should be functionally change like a eGRVTS, but truck with semi-trailers dropping only for 2-lane truck stop.
