Nice Graphics Zimmlock, i got rid of the statues entirely in my game using TTDAlter

Keep em coming

Thx for the encouragements

I am bussy with a Town ornaments replacement set, it ll contain the Fountain without blackish things, the Statue-Residence, a petrol station and an other building, this one doesnt exist yet. This set replaces the urlyer launched singel Statue-Residence and Fountain files, the set cant be use together with the singel files because i had to shift a lot of sprites on the trg1 to make space.
Here a screenie of the petrol station.
Like to have some feedback.

This one is good. You make very good graphics.

Raven · Post by **Raven** » 20 Jul 2004 21:23

nice job, bhut shouldn't you use a grf file to change the names of the buildings too?, so your fountain residential could really be a residential (or whatever). Theres info on the wiki

Have put some more details to the Small-Block-of-Flats, it was a little to teight.

The Town Ornaments repacement set is ready.
I am looking for someone who is willing to make a GRF for this set, including changes to the game to let the buildings have passengers, mail and goods to.

I have kept the fountain in the set, each town needs some square the have a beer or two

The set replaces the Fountain with the Fountain withous black things. The Statue with the Statue-Residence. The Water-park with a Petrol-station. And the other park with the Park-Avenue 1457 building.

My GRF wizard still refuses to output WIN executables (run time error "5")
So for now only DOS.exe.

i'm pretty sure that it aint' possible to change cargo acceptances and production ATM, so your very nice buildings won't produce that much amount of traffic, the prison will, though

If you can find info on how to make the grf file for this, you'll realize it is pretty simple, as it is just sprite replacement. And name replacement too!

Wow! Really good!

Are you going to make a one complete set file when these are ready? SO you wouldn't need to use many files for changing interface.

I love it!
I really can't stand it when my cities are like 60% statues and parks, it looks stupid.
With these new building grfs the cities will look more like cities

Great work

Edit: The Small Block of Flats looks abit too shiny in comparison to the other buildings, it just doesn't blend in as well as it should. Perhaps you could tone down the white a little? I think it would look much better.

I agree with Kruz's last statement and i'll also like to see a complete set!

Zimmlock · Post by **Zimmlock** » 22 Jul 2004 16:09

The Small-Block-of-Flats (SBoF) is indeed verry shiny, the prison looks awful new to. But form now ill not release one more building, just the images to tease you fine people. I am working on a Total-Town-Replacement-set what ll contain all the buildings of a town.
If you overlook a Town you see a great variation of buildings and colors, new and old buidings, shiny and blury buildings. For now i ll keep the SBoF like it is, like the prison, brandnew. When the set gets complete i can see if these buildings need a little weathering or not.

I can hardly wait!

When you found a way to convert an exe for the other version with the wizard I´m really curious how to do it. I´m very sure that this will not work, but I might be wrong. But even the smallest hope for a better way than the way I found is more than enough to excuse my digging in a few days old posts...

Currently i'm waiting for Zimmlocks reply.
So WIN version is ready, just needs permission.

Zimmlock · Post by **Zimmlock** » 25 Jul 2004 10:15

One of the best buildings of the original TTD to my opinion. So it ll survive

Have made it a little higher, added more details and improved the construction sites.

Colonel Sheperd · Post by **Colonel Sheperd** » 25 Jul 2004 10:30

If some could tell me about the sprite ranges, then this would be EXE.
for now, Windows GRF

This file contains some parts of the higher hotel. There are 3 sprites in the GRF-file which don't belong there.

I've chanced the GRF so the hotel sprites are the original hotel-sprits, 'couse I don't use the higher hotel.

The parts of the higher hotel were / are in this file because i had to shift the sprites on the trg1 to make space for the Town-ornaments elements. I don't know what the effect ll be if they are not part of this. its possible that without them the sprites of the Town-ornaments set ll overlap the sprites of the highter / lower hotel !!!
