PaulC's Mini GRFs

This is a new release topic for various bits and pieces that I've coded - some of them have been posted before, some will be new, but generally these are just small GRFs that don't require seperate topics. Compatibility, licensing and whatever else will vary, so please refer to the relevant release post for details. Feedback, suggestions, bug reports and general comments are welcome!

[UNIV] ISR Train Depot v0.1

Originally posted here, this GRF uses the graphics for the ISR train shed to create a replacement depot. Though it looks just as good on it's own, the idea is to have a depot that can fit seamlessly into an ISR station, e.g. by combining it with the corresponding station tiles which have animated doors. I'm afraid this is only coded using action A which means it probably isn't very rail-type friendly...

The sheds were originally drawn by Born Acorn for the old Brick Freight Stations set, with subsequent modifications by Sanchimaru and mart3p for use in ISR and some further tweaks by myself. Compatible with either OTTD or TTDP, and licensed under the GNU General Public License version 2 or later.

[OTTD] FIRS Docks v0.3

Replacement dock graphics based on the fishing harbours from FIRS. Originally released in this topic, the first version of this dock was used in CHIPS but has since been modified; v0.3 is the same as the previous release but is now restricted to OTTD v1.2.0 (r22293) or better as this is required for company colours.

Graphics are by andythenorth and taken from FIRS Industry Replacement Set. Licensed under the GNU General Public License version 2 or later.

Love the depot, will fit great into my game.

Minor detail, the white plating is a bit too high. See pic, building left is your depot, right is the ISR one

About the dock, I think the building looks better when the broad side is alongside the shore. So the building on the bottom right and the one on the top left should be rotated.

I know that the FIRS fishingharbours have the buildings in the directions that you have drawn, but I think it looks strange when the dock is on its own and not next to a fishingharbour.

The bug is actually in ISR. I've already posted the corrected sprites on devzone: http://dev.openttdcoop.org/issues/3594

I don't know, I personally think it looks ok either way and I'd rather keep it the same as the fishing harbours. But there's not much I can do anyway unless someone draws a rotated building...

[OTTD] Remove Tramway Catenary v1.0

This simple little grf does exactly what it says on the tin: it reduces visual clutter by making your tramways catenery-free, just like various real-world tram systems. It can also be used with other tram track sets (such as FooBar's) as long as you load the other grf first, though for obvious reasons it isn't compatible with the Suspended Monorail or Trollybus sets.

Requires OTTD 1.2.0 (r23004) or better. Released under a CC BY-NC-SA 3.0 Licence.

[UNIV] Turkish Mosque v1.1

This grf was originally released over in this topic and contains just one building - a mosque. Bit of a random update: I've modified the sprites slightly to improve transparency and allow for different colour variations, and the mosque can now be used in all three normal climates. By default it disables the churches, but this can be changed using a parameter (TTDP users should set this to 0 in the cfg).

The mosque was adapted from Zimmlock's original TTRS version by Ladis. Currently unlicensed.

Hi PaulC, thanks again for your information in "Empty Files" section. I clicked on your link for Mini GRFs. Really love the Depot. Can use it with ISR objects to make carriage sheds to commence passenger trains from. Maybe go good next to the NewStations Locomotive Depot to start freight trains from. Thanks again.

ISR Rail & Road Depots v0.2

New version of the ISR Depot! Earlier this year I was asked via pm if I could make the depot available for monorail, maglev, roads and tramways, so I figured why not? Still not coded for railtypes though, this only replaces the normal base set depots. Also includes some optional GUI icons for OpenGFX users (turned off by default). Full credits in the readme, licenced GPL v2.

Changelog:

v0.2 (2017-12-11)
- Name change (was ISR Train Depot)
- Recoded in NML
- Add depots for monorail, maglev, roads & tramways
- Add optional GUI icons & parameter
- Switch to DOS palette
- No longer compatible with TTDPatch

[PaulC]

New Buoys v1.0

New buoys drawn ages ago by skidd13, now released as a proper GRF for OpenTTD. Buoys come in 7 different flavours which are selectable via a parameter (default is white), also includes optional matching GUI icons for OpenGFX users (turned off by default). Licenced GPL v2.

Note: Image below is just a mock-up for illustration purposes, you only get one colour at a time (if that wasn't obvious).

CHIPS Custom Docks v1.0

An update of my old FIRS Docks GRF (see above)...

Docks cover two tiles spanning the coast and water; using new and improved CHIPS Custom Docks you can choose each tile separately to style your docks however you like, and with twelve options for each tile that makes a staggering 144 unique combinations! Also includes optional buoys in either green (to match the FIRS dredging site) or a more traditional red, and some matching GUI icons for OpenGFX users.

Graphics are from FIRS, FISH, CHIPS, ISR and OpenGFX, so credit goes to all of the original artists for their hard work, not least andythenorth (see readme for full credits). Licenced GPL v2.

Changelog:

v1.0 (2018-01-20)
- Renamed (was FIRS Docks)
- Recoded from scratch in NML
- Added 12 variants each for coast and water tile, selectable via parameters
- Added optional buoys in green or red
- Added optional GUI icons in OpenGFX-style
- Added some checks for other GRFs

A lot better for example for passenger docks.

[erregerre]

Can you select each one in the game or it must be done before the beginning of the game?
There are very beautyful. Thanks

The docks? You should decide how you want them to look and set the parameters before you start a game. As explained, you can only have one style of dock per game, unfortunately that's just a basic limitation of OTTD.

Thanks for the graphics should go to the artists who drew them, I'm just the code monkey!

[PaulC]

OpenGFX Playable UFOs v1.0

Just for a bit of fun, the two "disaster" UFOs from OpenGFX now coded as playable vehicles! Since these are meant more for eyecandy rather than serious gameplay, purchase and running costs are set to zero. Speed and capacities are high but sensible, and they are coded as helicopters. As a bonus, both UFOs will go to "red alert" during a breakdown. Graphical credits go to DanMacK, Raumkraut and FooBar. Licenced GPL v2.

Oh, and give yourselves a pat on the back if you get the movie references!

Tramway Catenary Remover v1.1

Minor update... I thought this was already on Bananas but apparently not, so I've taken the opportunity to recode it in NML and tidy things up a bit. There are no significant changes from the previous release; basically all this little grf does is strip away the catenary from your tramways, just make sure you load it after any other tramway set (though it's not compatible either Suspended Monorail or Trolleybus Set). Will no doubt end up being obsolete if NotRoadTypes makes it into trunk, but it's all good. Relicenced GPL v2.

[kamnet]

Unless NewGRF authors include the ability to disable the visibility of lines, I likely will still be using it. I'm going to guess it will need a NRT update for that to work.

Alternative Currencies v0.1

A new selection of currencies from around the world. Most of the default currencies are replaced, some are slightly modified and a few are still up for grabs in a future update. Multipliers are based on real world exchange rates as of 1 January 2018 and proper symbols are used where available. Please note that you can't select any of the new currencies via the title screen, you have to do it in-game.

The GRF includes the following:

I've translated text strings for the "Game Options" menu as best I can using Wikipedia, if anyone wants to provide corrections or updates I will add them in. There are three spare slots for a future update but I have no strong preference at the moment on what else to include. I would also like to use proper symbols for a few currencies but I would need to get them added to the base sets first.

The only potential issue is that some fonts may not support all currency symbols, so if that turns out to be an issue I'll have to figure out a workaround.

Hi Paul,

what about including Bitcoin (Ƀ) and Ethereum (Ξ)?
Is it maybe possible to take advantage of the EURO Date feature to introduce these currencies in 2009 and 2015 respectivly?

EDIT:
Interesting: the Ξ symbol is displayed differently when editing the post / in the actual post
