Re: luxtram buildings
Can I just use regular RGB PNG for the sprites or there is something additional I have to do?Supercheese wrote:Well, you don't strictly have to; you can use any colors you want in OTTD these days.

Re: luxtram buildings
Yes, you can indeed -- although when making a grf you do need some sort of 8-bit sprite, you can just quick-convert your sprite into the palette and not care about any bad/wrong colors, or you could even just use a solid mass of transparent pixels as your 8-bit sprite.luxtram wrote:Can I just use regular RGB PNG for the sprites or there is something additional I have to do?
Once that's done you can tell NML to use your 32-bit RGBA sprite as an Alternative Sprite in ZOOM_LEVEL_NORMAL, and OTTD will prefer using it instead.
(I do believe you'll want to use Alpha-channel transparency here, and not the default-blue of the traditional 8-bit palette.)
TL;DR: You can feel free to draw your buildings in any sort of color/transparency and use them as-is in OTTD, with little to no additional post-processing work required.

Re: luxtram buildings
Very nice looking buildings! I look forward to playing with these. Hope they get an 8-bit release. I'm an exclusively 8-bit player.
Re: luxtram buildings
I just figured out how to create 32bpp grf, and considering how hard is to find a tone I like for these buildings, you might be out of luck.Froix wrote:Very nice looking buildings! I look forward to playing with these. Hope they get an 8-bit release. I'm an exclusively 8-bit player.
But I will grade these buildings such that they will fit nicely into game, so I would still recommend you to check them out once they get finished (what appears to take some more time).
