No comments ?

well too late now because it s coded :P

(comments on how to make it look better are still welcome though)

Probably will be in one of the next release of Auz newobjects from Garry G

I been a bit quiet here lately as working on a project with romazoon.

We are working on:
Canals with Locks.
Improving the Culverts in previous object sets.
Swamps
More Houses.
Retaining Walls (Object Foundations)
Some higher fences that you would often see along side railway tracks in built up areas to try reduce the noise affecting the residence nearby.
Some improved Fake Rivers with a variety of junctions.
Improving the Storm Water Drains in previous object sets .. putting a wall along the edge to make them look deeper than the ground level. Might also make them a bit narrower so not as wide as what rivers and Canals are.

======================================

Came up with a idea for buildings on slopes.

Previous slope templates was only designed for ground tiles. But I made some higher ones so can also add some buildings and tall objects to go on a slope something like this.
StaggeredBuildingsonSlopes.png

It does way with the Foundations that would normally appear if the building was level instead of staggered.

If you want to do your own here the sprite and NML code.

Looks very nice! :bow:
Will the north facing endings of the locks get the same pointed endings like the south facing ones (those at the low water end)?
As those look awesome!

In game depending what file you load to decide what your foundations look like .. I seeing if some object ones might be good as well using some of the stones and bricks from the "ogfx-landscape"

Also has another idea for me as a Retaining Wall as shown in this image.

I done bricks, stone, and stone with moss and also looking as sandstone walls.

Also making them with fences on top of the Retaining Wall as can see in pic.

Showing off some bridge work too.

The unfortunate part is these walls waste a tile .. looking at idea make a few sets with a pedestrian subway and make some parks and recreation areas.

The image I use is part of the screenshot I hope I can get finished in time.

Thanks you all for your compliments.

Just quickly made a subway to go with the retaining wall and fence.

Do more eventually for the other stone walls.

It now midnight .. I should have been in get long ago .. ni ni all

sorry i teased you a bit too much :mrgreen:

Doors are not functionnal, neither animated...at least for now.

functionnal : who knows, i saw newstations, rail type and much more feature got already in, and NRT in the pipe, there is even some experimentalish airports...so who knows maybe next thing is waterways types :mrgreen:

animated : it could be animated as a new object, we just lack the coding skill and i have no clue how many door sprites is required for animation...
On this topic, anyone know if that animation could be done to the overlaping graphics parts, which would cover a functional lock ? well, because if yes we could have kinda functionnal/eyecandy locks, maybe except there is no way to detect a ship is entering the lock though... (a three tile long lock, like the utilisable one, is on my to do list to replace the existing one, i could plan it to receive animated door placed via a newobject)



About the north facing lock, would that do ?

i haven t tried to make the sloped wall as straight as the south version...because i saw many in reality have this rounded wall at one end, because the lock entry is usually much narrower than the actual water way it s serving (like on this photo : https://fr.wikipedia.org/wiki/%C3%89clu ... alande.jpg ). I might try to do a one tile lock, that would connect to a two tile wide river, or three tile wide, might be easier to get that rounded effect then.

thank you !inspirationnal you say ? if you need my sprites to get started with your inspiration just say so via PM, ill gladly share all the tiles i have so far. it might modestly help getting started with some water tile and help also for making compatible stuff ;)

Sure, but it will very likely glitch/clip heavily and that would limit its visual effect a lot.

That is the biggest issue.... ;(
so who knows maybe next thing is waterways types
Lets hope :mrgreen:
animated
I've got some animations in my beach-objects set and in my fake-airport-objects set, they are in NFO though and its been a very long time since I did those.... Cant help with NML-animations...
However I do believe some people are working on some in NML, I believe this set is currently being actively worked on:
viewtopic.php?f=26&t=70306
i have no clue how many door sprites is required for animation
I think you need at least 12 steps:
1. all doors closed, water at high point.
2. doors at high point half open.
3. doors at high point full open (maybe double or triple that step, could look nice when it looks paused at open position for a while, you might then even add a ship going in)
4. doors at high point half closed
5. doors at high point closed
6. waterlevel drops halfway
7. waterlevel drops to lowest point
8. doors at lowest level halfway open
9. doors at lowest level full open (again, maybe double or triple that step)
10. doors at lowest level halfway closed
11. doors at lowest level full closed
12. waterlevel fills halfway
And then back to step-1
About the north facing lock, would that do ?
Personally I really like the straight look, but that is just a matter of personal taste. How does that rounded one look in normal zoom? Zoomed in doesnt aways give the best type of look ;-)

Well, it is weird than nobody implemented functional sluices with raising water level, instead of these funny slopes :)
Of course such approach would have drawback: one ship per lock - but it is rather good feature, because by now channels/rivers are OP having unlimited capacity (BTW, didn't original TTD had limited capacity of a lock?)

I'm fairly sure mb has drawn an animated lock. I think he's shown it off at some point ;)


And yeah, animations in NML are super easy if you just want to do simple cycles. If you paint all stages in a row and they are properly defined in a spritelayout then basically all you need to do is something like sprite_lock(0) for your object and with proper animation triggers and everything set it'll "count" up the sprites to 1, 2, 3 ... however many you set ... and start over again.

It obviously gets more complicated if you want to do more than that but I'm sure that can be figured out ^^

i believe there is an animated lock in ttd patch...so maybe it s not necessary to reinvent the wheel there.

If the owner of the copyrights from the ttd patch lock read us...i d love to hear if we could reuse those sprites as newobject (better than nothing)

good news for my coder, so i supose it s mainly up to me if i do the sprites or not then :lol:

btw thanks quast for the detailed list of sprites needed, much appreciated !

also, i don t know why earlier i tried to do a rounded version while the straight wall version was just so much simpler to draw !

also you are right about the glitch from overlaping animated lock, it might be pretty ugly, but well, if i produce all the sprites for an non overlaping newobject it will be fairly easy to simply try and see what kind of glitch we get then decide from there ;)

Been making fences and retaining walls for the AuzRailObject set.

The fences are slope aware and also will follow along the top or bottom of the slopes.
Railway Fences.png
Railway Fences.png (401.43 KiB) Viewed 3368 times
2 types of fences .. wooden and wire mesh and they can be build in all directions. (Unfortunately I haven't made wire mesh fences to go on top of the retaining walls yet).

There are 3 types of retaining walls .. brick, stone and stone with Moss. I made these walls so they will match the OpenGFX+Landscape foundations.

You will find these in the Menu named "AuzRailObjects: Fences and Retaining Walls (Foundations)".

If like to try here the game file and also the source files.
