Re: New finescale tracks for Nu-tracks
I should've realised that drawing in TTD does have it's rules with symmetry...I did toy with the idea of shifting each vehicle sprite up but that would be too much just for such a small detail... with that said and taking in opinions, I watched some trains run on a quick mock up track piece I did last time with fiddling and I guess it does look alright so I will now complete it like this instead. Thanks for the input everyone.

Re: New finescale tracks for Nu-tracks
Looks fine indeed, from my POV. Actually, it looks even more coherent than the standard model, where you can see the upper part of the rail, even when the train is on it.

Re: New finescale tracks for Nu-tracks
Thanks Keoz, I've started to like the more prototypical look now thankfully.
This is the new centered tracks with just the right amount of width IMO. Tested with other track pieces and is all good, just need to finish them. From left before the box is very low speed, low speed, medium and high speed..

Is it just me, or has the difference between low and very low speed tracks become smaller since the last page? I can barely tell them apart now.coalroads artist wrote:Thanks Keoz, I've started to like the more prototypical look now thankfully.

Re: New finescale tracks for Nu-tracks
I guess it's just the fences what makes the difference... In my opinion, this could already be enough to make the difference between very slow and slow "branch line"-like rails. However, a modification of the fences' color might help...

Re: New finescale tracks for Nu-tracks
I actually think it's a rather interesting idea to keep those two very similar, as connecting points imo always are a bit of a problem visually - not with this style, though

Re: New finescale tracks for Nu-tracks
Thanks SwissFan91!
Here is another pic of the tracks side by side with minor changes which are very subtle as I've said before just rail height and ballast profile/covering. I'm glad it's appealing to some
oberhümer: The only difference is that one has nearly no ballast and the other has a small profile. I would add dirt around the very slow tracks to make them stand out more but it would then make them incompatible with other climates..
Still might change sleepers on very high speed to something lighter but I'll look tomorrow after some rest.

Re: New finescale tracks for Nu-tracks
In my opinion the sleepers of the catenary equipped very fast track look just right in your screenshot. You might consider to change the color of the very fast track instead of the catenary equipped very high speed track...coalroads artist wrote:...

[OT]Hopefully these sprites get integrated in Nu-tracks and the Canadian Train Set gets compatible with it... [/OT]

Re: New finescale tracks for Nu-tracks
No news, which is bad news at least in this case.

I'm seeing him using the graphics personally, so the problem lies on other NuTrack team ?

Re: New finescale tracks for Nu-tracks
Hi everyone, sorry for not releasing this earlier. I had to play test it myself, which did result in a few glitches found.
This is just modified graphics and nothing else, just a hack! I only lay claim to the graphics used in the third rail option in this grf, but credit goes to the Nutracks team - oberhümer, DJ Nekkid etc for the original work - coding and graphics. I was going to wait for oberhümer to code it properly, but believe it's usable now if correctly set and it seemed many were waiting for it. Only third rail option is modified (third rail won't show up if you have no third rail vehicles anyway), so it is not compatible with wired etc..
Enjoy.

Re: New finescale tracks for Nu-tracks
Nice work. Thanks for the release.
Small bug: if the 3rd rail option is not selected, some switches show up the new graphics. I have wiped out every newgrf in my list to be sure that there is no incompatibility issue. Only if the 3rd rail option is selected, all tracks appear to show the new graphics.

Re: New finescale tracks for Nu-tracks
Nice work, thanks, found a glitch:
It is very high speed line. If catenarys are inner the tracks, a white line is visible, if the are outer the tracks you can only see the top of the white line.

Re: New finescale tracks for Nu-tracks
Thanks slaca, they should be fixed now. I didn't get past 1950s in my games using this GRF
Ogre: Sorry forgot to mention that it's going to be a pain with other sets, as that is my unfinished work on the other rail options, as it is a hack, so if anyone wants to use the other tracks unaltered they will have to swap out this with the original GRF file.
Thought I would give a demo shot as I know I get annoyed not seeing what is available at times on these forums when things are released.
Credit to the Nutracks team and OTTD devs as stated above for the work not involving my graphics

Re: New finescale tracks for Nu-tracks
So far I like what I see! Good work!
but one little glitch with very high speed track!
EDIT: Low speed with catenary. There seems to be some kind of white dot.

I dare say that I have been respectful of the community though, by constantly crediting the authors of the file I have used and corresponding with them - I just didn't understand the obligations of the licensing with modifying graphics, and releasing them to the community. I didn't dismiss any requests to do so once brought to my attention.. I don't spend all my life on here reading every message straight away, or finding every caveat that has relatively little to do with my interests.
