Problem with length new wagons

[stefino_cz]

Hey everyone. I'm making a new graphics to OTTD and I have a problem with long wagons. If I have wagon with length +- 32px, it is OK - I'll set "shortering level" to 00 and all is OK. If I have shorter wagon I'll set shortering level to 01 02 ... But what if I have longer wagon? I have wagon with length 51px and there is a problem that two wagons are overlap. What can I do with this problem? In our Czech railroad set we have wagons with same length so there must be a way how to program it. Thanks

You need articulated vehicle with invisible second part.
NML example here:

There are some bridge clipping issues though.

This is quite hard-level for me I'm not so good in program and only what can I do is rewriting nfo files. So this is the end for me

Going beyond the 32px wagon or vehicle length is always tricky and bound to glitches, but NML could make it easier for you than NFO

Okay okay. I read some information about NML and in my case - if I'll set legth at "8" in NML, it will be OK? And second guestion - are there any tutorials how to make a new vehicle with NML file? I dont know what programs I have to use for program NML file, how the sprites has to look, what program I have to use to convert this all parts into the one file what can I put into the game - if it is the same principle like NFO, where I use grfcodec to make .grf from .nfo and .pcx.
