Supercheese's Eyecandy GRFs

[spaceman-spiff]

You could upload your savegame to others can see what exactly is wrong.

I think I've done something wrong or got confused
The added grf doesn't seem to break the savegame.
Now I can place hub airports everywhere, more than 2 in all towns.

Thanks, I will play a little more.

Regards.

I'm really enjoying the eyecandy vehicle set! The way I use it, it does have a bit of a practical aspect, too.

Police cars are sent to various bus stops in cities, as if they are part of a company in-house transit security force. While I am aware that I can set them up to never load passengers, I do allow the police cars to transport passengers anyway. The revenue generated, I treat as if it were fines given out to vandals or those trying to avoid paying fare.

Generally I do not have the police cars follow routes that buses use, but instead make them seemingly random patrol. This is done by a long set of orders that complete a loop three or four times in different order of stops.

Example:

Code: Select all

A->B->C->D->E

Is the normal bus route.

Police cars may be set up as:

Code: Select all

B->E->C->B->D->A->C->A->D->B->E

Ambulances are handy, too, especially with the Total Town Replacement Set, which features hospitals. Around here, there are private-run medical transport services. Often these companies use ambulances that were phased out by city emergency services. In my town, if you get injured and city fire department EMTs come, they have to transport you to the closest hospital that is appropriate to your needs. Closest to my last home was a hospital with a reputation for being poorly run and patients that left in worse shape than they came in. One would need to arrange for private transport to be seen elsewhere.

Who says TT can't also allow for medical transport as such? Set up a bus stop by each hospital, and use the ambulances for such a system!

Here's a look at what I've been working on recently. I'm intending to release a NewObjects set, primarily because of the idea I had for some extra marine life such as seagulls. They look great in game, if I do say so myself, especially when used with stuff like MariCo, FIRS, and FISH .

I just hope I got the shadows & sun angle decently...

[Purno]

Ok, that's pretty funny

[kamnet]

Clever! Y'know, awhile back on BadBrett's Gold Rush mod, there was some discussion about adding birds. I never thought of an animated NewObject to hang around trees, beachfronts, fisheries and landfills. Pretty sweet!

Fantastic!
Colour those seagulls black and place them next to an Interstate or the Trans Canada Highway.

[coalroads artist]

Haha, that's cool!

[Pyoro]

Awesome! Now someone should draw some deer, rabbits and ... dinosaurs.

[coalroads artist]

I drew some Kangaroos a while ago for an Australian landscape, can't imagine them animated, lol.

You could always code them as a vehicle, though!

Hi,

very nice in additions to StreetTrafic AI (or simillar ...)
Can the vehicles be hiden for the "normal" player, so only the AI can build it ?

And its would be nice to have vehicles in earlyer aeras (old steam trucks/Horses).

Regards

No. AIs are treated as normal players as much as that's possible.

[Supercheese]

Hmm, yes, I could work on horses, borrowing sprites from eGRVTS since it uses the same license as this set.

Nice work, love the garbagetruck!

But two things:
- In the non-cc version there seem to be some block cycle colors in the red:

garbagetrucks.png (18.91 KiB) Viewed 6441 times

- could it possible to choose which garbagetruck you want (maybe via parameter)? I really like the graphics of the old one, also for my modern games.

And a couple of suggestions for other vehicles:

- NY yellow cabs (50's style, modern style)
- A black & white police car, like the one in the Blues Brothers movie

Keep up the great work!

You need to check the grflanguage code in the first line. Didn't know what to put.

Right you are, I did not QA those non-cc trucks properly . I'll have the sprites fixed in the next version, and I'll also provide a way to keep building the "classic" trucks, probably by making the transition to "modern" a random variant, rather than a total replacement just make the "modern" version a new model, and neither model will expire.

And a couple of suggestions for other vehicles:

- NY yellow cabs (50's style, modern style)
- A black & white police car, like the one in the Blues Brothers movie

Keep up the great work!

There are already Taxi grfs here: http://www.tt-forums.net/viewtopic.php? ... 26#p645039

And I agree a black n' white cop car is needed, probably as a random variant.

Thanks for the feedback, much appreciated .

Thanks for the translation, I'll aim to include it in the next version.

[Eddi]

well, you could let the old one retire, the people who still want to use it can use the "vehicles never retire" option.
