The Lighthouse Set

The Lighthouse Set

Welcome to The Lighthouse Set, which is a new object set (eye candy-set) for openTTD. The first edition (v. 1.0) contained six lighthouses, and by now the set has developed to contain 14 lighthouses (v. 1.2). The Lighthouses are not exact copies of real lighthouses, but some of them are more or less inspired from lighthouses primarily in the Nordic countries. Over time it’s my plan to add more lighthouses to the set.

The set is my very first GRF-set. Since I'm not a talented GRF-coder, it has taken some time to make this set, but thanks to many useful topics about coding (and drawing) here at the forum, it was possible. Here I like to thank especially wallyweb for the New Objects GRF Coding Guide, which where an important source for me when coding the initial version. Please also see "Readme" for further credit.

[Toni Babelony]

Wow, those are some amazing looking graphics! I hope you'll produce more of those seaside goodies.

[Bob_Mackenzie]

[kamnet]

I think planetmaker stole my words! Didn't see this one coming!

[PaulC]

Whoa, awesome! Cheers dude!

[Leanden]

Good stuff, when Quast65 sees these he will certainly cream his underpants...

[ISA]

Yup fancy stuff!

I hope you'll produce more of those seaside goodies.

The grf is named v1.0, so I imagine he does

[kamnet]

Shouldn't this be in Graphics Releases forum, though?

Hahahaha, consider them creamed

WOW!!!! These are absolutely fabulous!!

Few suggestions:

- Could you also make versions with an ISR-style groundtile? That will make them more fitted in at industrial harbours.
- Could you code them in such a way that you only get (for example) the name "Lighthouse Set" in the main menu and when you select that you get the submenu with the various lighthouses. Especially when you are going to expand this set that would keep the main menu a bit more tidy.
- If you are going to make different versions of the same lighthouse (so for example a version with grass tile, a version with ISR-tile and previous suggestions with a rotated view), code that as views. That way you make the most use of one Object-ID, as there are only 255 NewObject-ID's available for the entire game.

This is an example of my code in NFO for 4 different objects with just one ID:

Nice lighthouses.

Please consider releasing your set under the GPL licence, I believe it's the best way to license newgrfs.

Happy to explain what you need to do for GPL (it's simple).

Beautiful set, just what I will need in my current game. An uncommon addition may be an old square light house:

Like the Brandaris:

Truly great graphics... I especially like the 2nd and the 4th one...
