Thank you for the update!

Three of the low depot-overlaps have offset issues:

Service Stations

I think I finished with these .. until I get some new ideas.

There is a set of service stations with just the building .. no overlaps. A set for each of th 4 companies.

If every one happy with these then I will place them in a new GRF called AuzTownObjectsAddOns.

Here the last and hope the last game file and source to the AuzTestArea.

Cheers

Wow, great work!!

I have three little things regarding menu's



1. Move the last single tile slabs to the other single tile slabs:

I think it is more user-friendly to group these before you code the final GRF.

EDIT:
It may even be better to give the single-tile ones a separate sub-menu apart from the overlaps.
Makes it easier to add stuff in future


2. Spelling mistake:

Example677.png (25.81 KiB) Viewed 4173 times

Not too important, easy fix


3. Visual representation of the menu:

Example679.png (71.64 KiB) Viewed 4173 times

A. This is a sub-menu for things that have half-grass/half-concrete as main tile.
So, showing some grass (like with the other half-half ones in another menu) would be better.
I think it should be the graphic like the one straight above it, but then indeed with the two blue direction pointers.

B. In these two sub-menu's you have full-grass or full-concrete as main tile.
The graphic doesnt really make that too clear...
Maybe for the main tile, use a split-tile like I have mocked-up in the Orange rectangle....
I think it will make it a bit more clearer visually.



Everything else looks good to me, really excellent work!!

Good idea.

2. Spelling mistake:

Bloody computers, you would think they would know how to spell.

3. Visual representation of the menu:

It annoying overlap purchase menus .. probably work better in the menu if I not worry about alignment, but move them so can be viewed better.

Shall work on these tomorrow as my time is limited at computer tonight .. son went to loo, so I getting a go for a few moments.


On another subject:

Ragin1_ sent me a PM wondering if we can have route markers on our roads so he drew up some signs and I coded just a few at moment.

Wanting to actually have a visible number which also means some signs might be a bit big .. so heres a view what he did so far. Comments appreciates and if any nits can be seen.

Ooooooo seggsy road signs.
Been working some motorway's on a server and I've been thinking some auz road signs in the same vain as the Dutch ones would be very interesting for variety. With some reskinned sprites, Just a thought probably not a great idea...

Looking good as always, Keep up the good work

I've got my uni break coming up soon, maybe I could smash out a bunch of Aussie highway objects with Garryg, since I use them for my private games too.

MULTI-SELECT OBJECTS

At the moment all my Multi select objects cycle through the selection randomly .. not in any particular order.

They use the code:

Code: Select all

spriteset_garages01_4((animation_frame + nearby_tile_random_bits(0,0)) % 4);

What do I need to change so that the items will cycle through in order so that items are easier to find?

As far as I know, that is sadly not possible...
(I had the same question when making the ISR/DWE-GRF, but that's almost 10 years ago, maybe there have been new developments)

EDIT:
After reading back some very old posts when making ISR/DWE-GRF, the long answer (for as far I understand it )
For the multiple objects you use an animation that doesnt run.
You just trigger a random frame of the animation, each time you build the object on the same spot.
Would it have been an actual running animation, from that point on it would run in sequence.
But it's not So, each time you build an object again, a totally new animation starts with a random frame from the animation-loop.

Done.

Spelling mistake:

Fixed.

Visual representation of the menu:

I separated the overlap with grass and the overlap with the concrete so they easier to find and use.

Also added 4 more to the concrete ones with overlaps .. these have lights facing both directions to see if you like. If not easy removed.

Added a new concrete set with the 1/2 tile and overlaps and those that overlap in 3 directions.

AuzTownObjectsAddOns

I've started this set and added a few extra things to it such as these car parks and a few other odd bits.

Car Parks 01.png (98.53 KiB) Viewed 3979 times

Car Parks 02.png (44.88 KiB) Viewed 3979 times

These are from my Station set that I meant long time ago to also do a object set, but forgot about them. Thought this be a nice place to put them and if players want will also add them to the AuzCarPark set as well.

I'll PM the game file to you Quast65 because if any player try using these just yet and I (should I say you) find any nits to fix then it might upset their games.

The first image and set on right, I have another set of these but not as high yet to add.

Hope have these ready by weekend.

Cheers all

I've done some sprite work b4 so maybe I could have a look at reskinning some at some point but for the code I really am useless lmao

Don't let the coding stop you from contributing graphics.
Depending on license, graphics can always later be picked up by a coder and made into a GRF.

Yeah I'll have a look and get back to this thread, see if I can make anything meaningful...

AuzCarParksAndSubwayOverlays

I change my ideas more times then I change my undies .. moved or copied the Multi-Story car Parks from the AuzTownObjectsAddOns
to AuzCarParksAndSubwayOverlays.

The Liverpool set because it also has Shops I thought it should be in both places. The Sydney Set going to see if can fill in the first few lower levels to make it look like shops under and a few car park levels on top.
Those who have access to Google Earth have a look at Liverpool suburb, Sydney Australia. You will find the car park and shops I based this set on. Still need to make the pedestrian more.

In this image. The one on left is a car park based on one in Sydney on the Bankstown line, but forgot actual location.
The other image is a car park in Newcastle, Australia called King Street Parking.

They was suppose t been placed in the AuzCarParksAndSubwayOverlays long time ago. I made them for the Auz Railway Stations set and forgot to do copies as objects.

Here version 5 of AuzCarParksAndSubwayOverlays. If any one wants the source let me know.

Why don't you contact Ragin1_ see if you can work together on some ideas. He busy with Uni at moment but has a break comping up soon.

The signs that Ragin1_ did I think look good to mark our main roads and highways and when have junctions by using route markers we will know what road is meant to go where as not all go straight ahead at intersections.

They are a little bit big, but still look good. Got me thinking with the road signs I done with curves and junction if I should make them the same size see if details be clearer. Shall ponder on that idea while I working on some items for the AuzTownObjectsAddOns set.

Cheers

Well... For that we have the extra zoom-levels....
Maybe an interesting thing for you to start experimenting with...

Even if you can't code, there are certainly people who'd be willing to help, not everyone is coding inclined the same way not everyone is artistically inclined.

I'm always open to help someone learn how to make stuff. I only started drawing not long ago, and I think I've gotten pretty good so far. I'd like to see more content for openttd as well, so it'd be cool to get more people making it

[GarryG]

AuzRoadObjectsAddOns.

Well here it is .. still more to add but at least you can use it without stuffing a saved games with what I add next.

There are some new buildings that will load under the Menu Buildings in AuzTownObjects if that is loaded first.

Image of some buildings I added that I taken from my Industry set.

Theres a PUB (Hotel), Banks, Store, Brewery to keep the pub supplied, Cereal Factory (this one might be in wrong set), plus some others.

But, very nice objects
