And some half platforms?

Michael and I, along with many others have had this debate before I very much doubt half platforms will appear.

Yes. Apart from their visual appearance, half platforms don´t fit my programming model and would require a lot of extra work. Even though the needed sprites are all there, it´s not just copy&paste inside the code framework.

At least for v0.5 this feature won´t be available.

Oh man, there's a party in my pants seeing these new screens.

How about another one, then?

Midnight release?

he didn't actually specify a timezone

I have been awaiting it all day, feverishly F5-ing (or cmd+r here) the ttdpatch.de download site. Played some LoMo in the meantime to distract myself but not get totally out of the loop.

Only one word describes it best: BRILLIANT!

Thanks very much for your interest, guys.

Here´s a local shipyard, put together from NewStations v0.6 freight sheds and some MariCo stuff.

NewStations v0.6

You wait for a bus and then two come along at once! Nice work.

[SwissFan91]

You really should have a screenshot topic.

[Eddi]

wait... i thought this was the screenshot topic...

NewStations v0.6

You wait for a bus and then two come along at once! Nice work.

given the previous records, the bus you're expecting will take another few years

[YNM]

Michael, is that released yet ? seems your work will takeover some part of my games !!! (specially the older games)

[coalroads artist]

Wow those buildings and that dry dock

What's the status of NewShips these days? On your site there is no way to download it.

[Raichase]

I see it is time to start downsizing games - rather than having giant maps with hundreds of towns/industries, it will be all about the "scene" - smaller networks that look nicer, rather than giant, busy monstrosities.

I like it.

Two years ago, there was an update (v0.48) which added ECS and FIRS compatiblity and cargo graphics. In addition, there´s an inland vessel included, but no other enhancements or additions.

OTOH, there´s a newer/bigger ship set (NewShips XL, v0.5) in the works, where some of MariCo´s ship objects having been drawn from (see picture above).

I´m just adding a couple of small freight stations to NewStations, and one of them is this one with 1 or 2 non-track tiles:

Now, I need some translations for its name.

In German, I´d like to use a very generic name: "Landhandel" (see http://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Landhandel) (literally "agricultural trade" (most of the time set up by a regional cooperative), i.e. something like "agricultural retail", "farm supply", .. ?). Unfortunately, in this case, there´s no link from the German Wikipedia to other languages. En Francais, je le voudrais nommer "négoce d'agricole". Spanish and Italian should be similar to French, but who knows?

Any advice?

Michael
