Subject: Vehicle Factories

Made some multi tile Ford Vehicle Factory pieces. Based on the Ford Factory in Broadmeadows, Victoria, Australia.
Matter of testing now and see if I need to add any other style to the Ford Factory, especially along the front area where there is paving and lawns.
Once I get these how want, will work on other Vehicle factories such as Holden and maybe some others.

I made some multi tile Holden Factory pieces.
These are based on one of their buildings in Adelaide Suburb called Elizabeth, South Australia.

Changelog:
Added "Holden Vehicle Factory (6)" .. the 6 means there is up to 6 multi select tiles.
Added some more pathways, flowers and lawns.

Wonder after I did the test graphics maybe I should have made the same pathway types used in my Parks and the gardens that are used in AuzTownObjects. This way they could be used together?

Nice, thanks for all the time you dedicate to Openttd and share with us.

Thanks pal.

When looking at vehicle factories with google earth and what images I can find on the internet they are huge(very big) with many buildings and they only seem to have the one building that stands out from the rest and has their logo on them .. so that the building I try and base my work on.

Much appreciation goes to those who drew the new cars, the fork lifts and the cargo icons.

Cheers all

Been looking at car assembly areas for different companies and I think these can be added to what I done. They should suit all Car Factories.

These have to types of roofs and face South West ad also South East directions.

The building walls I stole from FIRS Industries

I will not be doing any more to the vehicle factories for awhile as I want to concentrate on my train sets with some more freight wagons.

Subject: Farm Objects (Sugarcane)

Working on my AuzFarmIndustry set and different types of farms found here in Australia.

Make the farms more realistic and fun to add to I seeing if I can improve on the crops graphics.

Sugar Cane and corn are taller then a man, and the crops I made previous are really a bit short.

So having a go at making sugar cane taller and this the result so far. Two views of same crop. Full zoom and default zoom.

Wondering what you think .. do these look like sugar cane?

I use your farm objects, so I'm really glad, that there are much more options for that.


Anyway, I'd like to ask you for 1 favour - As you can see below, there are lamps with fences as objects.


SAC released them decade ago, but it's terrible to use it. So I edited them for myself and It's slope aware. But because of license, I can't publish that. So I asked Ufiby for permission for using his lamps (he agreed).

CATENARY.ZIP

Ufiby's lamps

(25.18 KiB) Downloaded 110 times

but I can Imagine them with your fences. For example with this (unreleased fence???)?

Stone fence is welcome. And with this sandstone it would be perfect and usuable

I started workin' on them, but it's all your fences and I have no idea where I can publish it in my FO set. (and now I have no time for that, because I'm drawing new buildings )

[GarryG]

Thanks for your feedback "fridaemon" appreciated.

I need to stop getting side tracked and finish some of the projects that I started many moons ago. I'll put the train set and Industry set aside for a while and try to finish off some of the object projects I started.

Strange as it may sound I actually forgot that I was doing the crash barriers along side the roads So starting today see if I can continue with them and see if can add some street lighting as well.

The lamps along the roads should work well. Maybe can make different lamp types. If you have some street lights in your area you like .. take a photo of them and upload here and see if we can make some of those. I will do same here. There is a freeway within walking distance from where I live. I see if I can get photos of those without getting run over.

These ones I made myself many years ago for railway stations and car parks. By lengthening the poles some can be used for roads as well.

Curiosity .. if I took photos of something and made objects for the game of those photos I took .. is that copy right violation if some one else had already done the same?

Subject: Crash Barriers

I made some slope aware crash barriers. I need to get these working properly before I can add lighting and road signs.
This image is a sample what can be done so far with slope aware straight and corner pieces. Need to experiment see if I can make the crash barriers curved where the road corners are. There are some test samples in the grf file but running out of time today due to house chores needing to be done.

Hope some of you can to test what I done so far and let me know of any ideas you have.

It would be nice to make road pieces with your road signs also built in if that is possible, for example curve pieces with curve signs already added within

It would be great if that can be done. If any one has cracked the code on how that can be done, please let me know.

Using Tramtype Overlays for adding roadside eyecandy could be the answer...
That way you dont use the tiles at the side of the roads...

I dont think so if your work starts out from scratch (so taking that photo as the base, not the work that has already been done for OpenTTD)
If you really want to be sure (and for future reference), just put it somewhere in your (do-not)ReadMe file that you are aware that someone has already done something similar for OpenTTD, but that your work is not based on that but on the photo's you made (and link to a post here in the forum to those photos).

I forgot about those .. have to have a look at those tomorrow and see what can be done.
Thanks for reminding me.

I'm not sure how to attach images here, but here's a link to streetview of typical streetlights in bc you can reference.

Here's an electrified road in Vancouver with trolleybus wires overhead.

Shall see what can be done.
Much thanks to Quast65 who sent me some source to see if I can make eyecandy objects that can be used on the roads.
With luck might not need the crash barrier overlaps I did the other day.

Cheers

I've added a new Forum called Auz Eyecandy TramTracks.
viewtopic.php?p=1253003#p1253003
In that forum will be eyecandy objects for roads.

Thanks to Quast65 providing me with the sauce been able to create a set of crash barriers that replace tram tracks and tram overheads and can be used on any road.
Can be used with my RattRoad Sets to also include the fences.

Have a look at the new forum for 2 images of how the crash barriers will look and to keep up to date with future updates.

Been asked if I can do a flour wind mill object. So I transferred the flour mill from FIRS 1.4.3. Also had a try at making a water wheel flour mill. Image below, and also some more green houses .. these ones have flowers in them.

Made a few alterations to the flowers .. removed the gap at end of the tiles so now get this effect. Also added a few more.
