Indeed, I'm all for it looking realistic in size, it's just the fact that in the corners, it might not look good. A double length carriage might overlap onto an adjacent track.

For example. in this screenshot you can see that the train turns by Half Tile, I've never seen a full tile train before, so I'm not sure how this will work. Hopefully you understand what I mean

Indeed, I intend to divide each carriage into two separated sprites so you only get 1/2 tiles sprites just like on this exemple.

Here's what it looks like when drawing it...


But at the end I intend to divide each cariage into two separate sprites so it looks like this.

Here are the sprites but as noted by many this would have looked weird ingame...

So I've tried to divide each car into 2 different sprites for each car.

I've tried to divide each car into 2 different sprites for each car.

Firstly, I am not sure if anyone else has tried this approach before and secondly I think it may look very strange when a trainsegment that looks whole in one view, suddenly breaks up in 2 separate pieces when on a bend...
Finally, how would this kind of design look compared to trains already available in the game?
Hopefully you are able to find a traincoder (or try to code it yourself) to see how it works ingame.

However, I did try to resize one view of the train to what I think is the current standard. May still need some tweaking, but it hopefully has the details that makes it recognisable (2 doors in each segment, middle windows placed a bit lower than the outer windows):

Right now, the outer windows are 2 pixles wide, making those one pixel leaves some room to make the inner window a bit longer, that may even be better...
This is just to help you a bit on your way if the division of a car doesnt work

Thanks but I've already have all those done in TTD standard


I'm not used to draw to TDD standard as I make most of my pixy work for other purposes...
Yet since I've started to draw TDD sprites, the TTD standards have always seemed really odd since the 50% ratio (ortho/iso) is made between a diagonal and a square side...

I've tried this to see what it looks like ingame but it cannot look worst than a train whose size is reduce by two when turning
We'll se what it looks like ingame.

(The long length of the coach is due to the scale I use which is always the same from a tram or a building to a train.)

Not now since the coder of this thread is quite busy for now and I only wanted those to be part of the Belgian set, but if anyone is willing to code a Dutch Bus Set I can provide a lots more sprites including the 21 m Q-Link Capacity... I've already made some Dutch sprites
