Sorry their hasn't been any updates for a while, me n Geoff had to put it to one side for a bit, whilst we concentrate on life. Hopefully we will have more time to work on the pack soon

Hey guys,
First of all i'd like to say, sorry that we (me and Grudz) aint been round to give you news 'n' updates, even releases. Life has basically, caught up on us, with exams and work etc, u kno life, just like what andle had said;

I think Real Life has caught up with them...

A little, small, teenie-weenie, tiny problem, is that my hard drive decided to wipe everything.. and yes.. including lomo.

However, luckily, Grudz has the signals and all that jazz on his, so all not lost, but i gotta do a few things again, like codings and sprites, nothing really

S no worries... i've got lots of time to work on the pack.

Once again i'm sorry for the long wait for an update, and sorry for an even longer wait for the release, but remember; good things come to those who wait

Hi guys!! Geoff and I decided that our first attempt wasn't good enough, so we've had a re-think to how we are going to approach this. During the first attempt we were basically learning all the different things within in Loco.

As soon as Geoff stops stressin about x and y offsets I'll get him to post a few screenies of the progress so far

G-TANK-G · Post by **G-TANK-G** » 12 Jul 2007 16:48

Okay, here's some screenshots of some of what i've done so far.
what i have done is;

Improved graphics on signal gantries, and platforms
Made a track for the platforms clearer, and easier to place platforms etc.
Made the platforms as Track mods (like a 3rd rail, or overheads) this will, and should, make it much easier, and quicker, to build the platforms

Soon I'll be making 4-aspect signal gantry and semaphores.

But right now, I've been improving the X and Y offsets for the sprites for the signals, and their feathers. Right now its a matter of working out the offsets by guessing. So does anyone know how to work out the X and Y offsets to make things easier, quicker, and better?

Also if there is any suggestions, comments, questions, even requests about what me n grudz (mainly me) are doing then just say.

Hope you all like what you see on the screenshots

Hey, that looks good. I have been making searchlight, dwarf and gantry signals and a ton of station items, and bridges for the US Set recently and ugh... the fun one was making a 50 story building.. getting the first x/y is a pain, after that it all falls into place. if you guys are stuck, feel free to PM me.

~edit~ it looks like the gantry clips as the train goes under it?

G-TANK-G · Post by **G-TANK-G** » 12 Jul 2007 17:28

Yeah i've also spotted out that problem about the clipping and i cant find a way to fix that. Its also making the sprite look like the gantry in the middle of the grid along the track, AND in line with the gantry going the opposite way. as u see the vertical poles start at the corners of the grid, but when you rotate the view twice (or 180 degrees) it looks like the signals have moved along the grid to the other side. So if i make it centre it wont move, but its the offsets which is a pain in the 'You Know What'.

Is the offsets to do with the dimensions of the image of the sprite. Or, is the offsets basically guess work? If so, then what?
Because how i do it is, at first i make the offsets as; xofs="-1" yofs="-1". Then I move the sprite about, and just thinking ahead (as i do) I'm gunna have the same trouble with the offsets for the feathers, the 4-aspect signals, and if I ever get to it the semaphores.
I just have a feeling that there is a way to work out a sprites offset, but what is it lol. Grudz and Myself had tried to work it out for a while but failed.

...and thanks Plastikman, I'll probably PM you about those station items sometime in the future, hehe

I like it... I'd love to see one maybe integrated into a station to make the station look longer....

When is this been relased???

Plastikman · Post by **Plastikman** » 12 Jul 2007 18:23

You have to cut the gantry in half and have it come from both sides and meet in the middle to remove the clip. similar to how a covered station is made. I am not sure if the xml will let you build on both sides of the track at once for a one way signal. that is something i'll have to deal with myself soon. as far as pushing crap around with the x/y it litteraly is 1 unit is lke 1 pixel at a time. along the x/y map. i'll add you to my MSN and fill you in on more info.

we should just combine sets into the "AMI object replacemment pack".. LOL

Indeed i did, but i used the signals you gave me a while back as a template for how high to make it etc.

hi folks,

just a quick update on progress

We've been messing around with some of the sprites and all is lookin impressive, however with the news of the guys from Germany recieving permission from Atari to play around with the naughty stuff in loco we're gonna see what can be done with that.
