zBase (32bpp base set by Zephyris)

[Varivar]

I'm amazed by the work that you've done in such a short amount of time, Zephyris. I especially like the new trees. Great work

[Zephyris]

Thanks Whn my finger is back in action properly I hope it continues at the same pace...

[sweetdude]

how is the recovery going?

[Zephyris]

A little bit of tendon damage... Not too bad though, hopefully in a week or so right-clicking (vital for modelling in blender) will be less painful!

Great news! Looking forward to new updates.

Get well soon, your hands are an invaluable treasure for both you and OTTD community.

Is zBase still available to download? I can't download it from http://bundles.openttdcoop.org/zbuild/push/LATEST/ or any other mirrors provided in the readme file (supposedly the file was deleted)

Thank you very much! At last I can enjoy this 2d goodness

Hi guys!
I've earlier been using the extra zoom level, and the mega pack to get 32bpp.
These have never been 100%, and rarely updated, and also hard to update.

Is the zBase supposed to be an all-in-one 32bpp set? So you don't manually have to Google around to find trains, buses etc?
If so - awesome! I love TT, but the newer graphics makes it beautiful to play, and reduces strain on the eyes, especially when using full HD on my 55".

What's the best way atm. to get as much as possible in 32bpp?

Draw everything that's missing in Blender, and submit as contribution.

Or did you mean without actually doing anything? In that case, be happy with what you get, and don't ask for more.

Use this baseset, egrvts2 and ogfx+trains. See http://wiki.openttd.org/List_of_32bpp_NewGRFs

Ey, don't be rude! I mean until this pack is the ultimate answer, what is the current best way to play with 32bpp graphics?
I've never played any OTTD versions after 1.0, so I don't know how to add the packs to the current version.
I'm very pleased to see this project, but unfortunately I can't contribute with graphics.
Is there a list over what's done, currently being worked on, things that can be imported from other packs etc?

[Alberth]

Ey, don't be rude!

Sorry, was not in the best of moods, seen too many people wanting stuff and doing anything in return in the 32bpp area.

I mean until this pack is the ultimate answer, what is the current best way to play with 32bpp graphics?

I doubt it is the ultimate answer (nothing is ever 'final'), it's just a big step in the right direction.

I've never played any OTTD versions after 1.0, so I don't know how to add the packs to the current version.

It's written at enough places, just search a little.

Besides the actual repository data containing everything, no, not in the zbase project.
No doubt someone has made a few wiki pages with the information, or else, why not make that yourself?

[nordemoniac]

Thanks! I'll search around. I'm just so confused, because there are so many different packs!
I'm a OTTD noob, but I've been playing the original TT for years and years.
Will familiarize myself a bit, and maybe contribute to this project if possible.

I've been testing zBase a bit now (needed a manual install, didn't show up in the downloader).
It looks absolutely amazing! How did you get this much work done in so little time?!

Btw; can the white square (the "cursor") when placing roads etc. be upgraded with new graphics as well?

Will test with egrvts2 and ogfx+ this evening. Looks amazing!

Btw, is egrvts2 the one posted here?
The one called "eGRSTS2.zip [1.08 MiB]"

I could only find V1.0 in the download manager.

It does not look good. it's possible to fix it?
