OpenGFX+ Trains development thread

[kamnet]

For those of you that like Toyland, I have done a little work on tank and bulk wagon products; you should now have Candy Floss, Raw Sugar and Cola available in 32bpp. Here is a sample of the cola sprites

Wow, oh, wow!

[Xotic750]

Due to disk space issues on the nightly build server, we have split the source graphics from the NewGRF repositories. All the sources are still available from their own repo called ogfx-trains-render. So with any luck the nightly builds should start functioning again.

While I'm here, I thought I'd post some more samples of recently added Toyland sprites

[Terkhen]

Awesome, I love those toyland sprites

[planetmaker]

When I saw these sprites I was at a friend's place. We all could only agree that they are marvelous

I would try to enhance the contrast of the can opener on the top a bit more.

[Xotic750]

The materials still need a little work as they are not 100% and batteries need a hint of lettering on the sides, but we have some replacements in game

@Xotic750: splendid graphics, congratulations!

Here is my new French translation, based on english.lng r610 (+ tenders).

TWIMC: I wanted to try a compilation, but I got an error msg when downloading the files:

Code: Select all

Thanks for the translation, it has been logged in the issues #4015 and will be added very soon.

As for cloning/pulling the repo, this is a known problem over http on the openttdcoop server and is still waiting a solution. However you should be able to clone successfully using the bakup repo on bitbucket

[Xotic750]

Both the Lithuanian and French translations have been added to the project. Thank you!

There are still plenty of translations required. Current list of up-to-date files are:

English
Lithuanian
French

Feel free to translate to your language, the text is not much and this could be your chance to contribute

[Xotic750]

Thanks Terkhen for the Spanish translation

[Xotic750]

Thanks Alberth for the Dutch translation and English corrections.

thank you Xotic750, but I just realised now that there is 1.9 GB to download, ie over an hour of a fast, steady connection, which is something I haven't got access to. And I'm afraid the compiling time will be overwhelming on my 10+ years old computer …

i like to compile myself only to check the quality of the translation before submitting it, but in this case it is not worth the trouble…

[Xotic750]

We are hoping to reduce this size now that we have split the graphics sources from the NewGRF sources, Planetmaker just needs some spare time to work on it (Issue #4017)

[NukeBuster]

Is the nightly available as GRF?

I'm now using the 8bpp/32bpp trains newgrf, but as that is to be deprecated. Can we expect a new OpenGFX+ Trains release anytime in the near future?

[Xotic750]

There are still issues with the repo size and the nightly server is not building a nightly until it is fixed.

The latest successful nightly was r691

[Moriarty]

The content download list lists OpenGFX+ Trains twice. Version 0.2.5 and 0.3.0. I'm guessing only the later should be on there.

[Xotic750]

I have now included an experimental branch to the OpenGFX+ Trains repo.

This branch uses the GNU M4 macro processor instead of the usual C preprocessor to create the nml.

The name of the branch is m4_experiment

If you clone the repo then you can change to this branch for compiling by executing:

Code: Select all

hg update -C m4_experiment

Then just follow the normal build process.

I am hoping to put a pre-built copy on the backup repo server soon so that you can test it without having to build it.

[Xotic750]

I have now uploaded the pre-built copy of the m4_experiment branch to the backup repo server.

Please give it a try and let us know of any problems, m4_experiment-r709

[Xotic750]

Ok, have added some fixes and feature updates to both the default and m4_experiment branch. We still don't have any nightly builds for the project so I have pre-built both branches for you to try. Both branches produce the same featured NewGRF and should be directly interchangeable, the m4_experiment branch also reuses some of the rendered graphics to produce a slightly more complete 32bpp set, otherwise there are no new graphics at present. They are both available for download on the backup repo server.

Default branch r720

m4_experiment branch r713

[Xotic750]

Added to the m4_experiment branch today are some new early wagon sprites that have an 80km/h limit until their change at 1970. Hopefully I will get it built tonight and put it up on the backup repo server, or you can build it yourself

These sprites have not yet been included in the default branch as I haven't had the time to code them there as well.

A sample of the wooden wagons in their loading and loaded state is attached.

[colossal404]

They looks nice!

You mean they get new (probably fully company coloured) spites after 1970?
