curved tracks should be possible if the sprite is choosen based on the surrounding tiles

And what about the engine's movment? It has to be changed too to adapt to the new design...

i guess that would have to stay the same as there are only 8 sprites for vehicles... maybe increasing that to 16 sprites or something would make it more smooth (use the same sprites twice if extra sprites are not provided)

Would it be possable to convert the vehicles to Voxels (3d sprites, used in CnC: Tiberium Sun/Red Alert 2, Alpha Centori)?

<edit>
Here's one i just made;

I'd like to point out, that this is my first vexel ever, and that it is still incompleate.

While simple 3d small almost-box-like models with tiny textures would probably look better, it may work in small sizes used in openttd. The 8 directional sprites could be easily generated from the 3d voxel model and size like 30x20x10 voxels may be enough for most wagons probably. Though editing may be worse, is there any software to edit voxel models?

[Slye_Fox]

Voxels arn't 3d models.

They're sprites made up of layered 3d pixels, and pixel can only have one colour on it.

I tried in the past to work with voxels but the result was not so good.

Higher tunnels - what good are they for?

Current ones look weird when you have a tall train/road vehicle. They have to go double.

smooth slopes... i somehow don't like that, it may look better but it makes it harder to see the shape of the terrain and to place tracks

I was referring to 2 tile slopes for rails. Of course I wouldn't say no to expand them to the terrain but this would mean endless new sprites...

The only Locomotion feature I would want in OTTD is being able to turn on bridges.

I wonder ... does locomotion allow to have semaphores on bridges? (or in tunnels) That was one of the features that many people would like to have, but that is very difficult to implement due to way the map is organized in memory. That feature may also be one of the wanted ones ...

That too

Your temporary ban expires not even a day, and you're back to this behaviour again. Bumping a topic over a decade old now.

Have you honestly leant nothing from what we've told you?

By the way, It's interesting to add a link to the Open Loco thread and project:

About TTD vs Locomotion, both games are good, each hone focuses on different points, for example I love the big curves of Locomotion for rail roads or the depots of OpenTTD instead of placing trains from nowhere.
