Re: AuzObjects

Post by GarryG »

Been train travelling today visiting stations and talking to people .. met a person who plays OpenTTD and uses some of the files I released.

Got talking about the Power poles I have in the object sets and how I unable to design the poles and wires to go up many slopes due to the different ways the slopes are made.

He suggest I remove the wires and just have the poles. Says wires not visible above in real as he said he a pilot and flies smaller Cessna planes.

It will allow the high voltage towers to be placed any where you like if there are no wires to worry about.

I've been thinking for some time to make a few other types of power poles, so if I not need the wires, will make these a lot easier to introduce too.

So I wonder will removing the wires be a good idea?

That's really nice idea to have more power poles! Thank you Garry for this suggestion! Personally I'm playing with scenarious where electric towers don't have wires for the same reason: the wires are too thin to be seen from the air

Shall see what I can do ..

Some other objects I like to do:

If you notice along river banks and water ways where the electric wires cross the water there are some signs each side to warn boat crews what height the wires are.

Also like to do some old abandon bridge pylons to stick out of the water.

But before I start any these like to get the bridge set finished.

Cheers

As mentioned several pages back hope to create new Object sets and most likely be called:

AuzRailObjects
AuzFakeRailsAndTrainsObjects
AuzTownObjects
AuzRoadObjects
AuzWaterAndLandscapeObjects

But when I started making this several months ago, had a power blackout before I saved the spreadsheets with all the new information. Going to take me sometime to sort it out and re-do.

Is it possible to joint these grfs in only one grf file?
I really love them, but I must choose between them because I exceed the amount of GRFs active per game.

I like to try join some as since learning how to make railway stations and bridges there are some objects that could be removed, especially in "AuzFakeRailsAndTrainsObjects" and "AuzRailObjects"

I am restricted to 255 objects in each set.

JGR's patch may allow for more objects in a set, but the sets I make need to be designed so can be played in other OpenTTD 1.8.0 and some of the previous versions.

AuzTownObjects already has 205. Be nice to add the AuzRoadObjects to it, but it has 90 objects.

AuzFarmsAndFences .. Had 127 at moment. But like to add more Fences to this so that can build fences running north-south and East-West (angles).

AuzRailObjects .. has 111

AuzFakeRailsAndTrainsObjects .. has 229

AuzWaterAndLandscapeObjects .. 151 and counting

JGR's Patch Pack makes both more objects (total) available and more NewGRFs available, but it doesn't make more objects available in each NewGRF. That's technically maxed out at 255.

FENCES.

When placing fences in a game, it shame a whole tile is wasted with the fence along just ne edge. Some times wonder if fences be better if they was in centre of the tiles. I think might look nicer around properties and Industries and also in farms.

Whatcha reckon?

Always a nice addition to the fences you already have.
VAST+fences GRF already has fences (and walls) in the middle of a tile by the way, handy to look at to figure out where you have to place your fences.

Usually I build fences "from the outside". The issue with having fences in the middle is that you can't have any sort of groundtile. Or I mean, you can have, but it'd only fit the specific purpose you code/draw them with.

I mostly use fences when there is a transition of ground, so for example concrete to grass, then indeed you have to use a full tile (either grass or concrete) with a fence at the edge.
However I can imagine that for rural areas (for example farms) it can be nice to have a fence in the middle.

For example you have a field with grain on one side and a ploughed field on the other side.
If you want to place a fence between them you will get a full tile of grass on one of the sides, having the fence in the middle then will look nicer, more symmetric so to say.

Both ideas for fences will be ok so players have a choice to suit where they building them and what effect they want.

Hope to make centre fences for most of them and also be nice if the fences I have can also be built in a north-south and a east-west direction too.

Shall experiment and see.
