Subject: Milking Sheds and Hay.

Was hoping to add a few more things to this set before the weekend, but got side tracked .. again on other things.

So let you have what I done so far and hope next week I get chance to add my other ideas.

How to make a building look abandoned ..

I think sometimes it's enough to mark some windows as broken or make damp patches on the walls... All the buildings in Open TTD look like brand new, while we all know the reality isn't like this

But the ruins are also great, thank you very much! The first ghost town is about to be built!

ruins

Nice!

A long time ago I extracted some under-construction buildings and a couple of heavy machinery from ECS and TTRS.
I had the plan to include them in a personal GRF (as they are under Creative Commons license).
But maybe it is worth contacting George to ask if you may use these graphics under GPLv2 in your GRF's...

A smaller proposal for fences - how about making noise barriers for highways? A couple of suitable solid fences are already there, it would be enough to raise them.

Already included. Auz Fence Objects -> Road & Rail Fences -> Sound Proof Fences

Yep .. I did 3 types. Find them where Kamnet mentioned.

There is also some other high fences there as well that might be ok to use as sound proof fences.

Long time ago .. I seen somewhere in forum where someone else also did some really tall sound proof fences .. but just not remember who that was

EDIT:
Just found who has done some Sound Proof Fences.
Korean Object Set
can find it on Bananas.

Ah, thanks for the info, I must have missed it, there's a lot and I don't post fences that often

Subjects: Dairy Cattle

When cattle head to the dairy for milking they usually in a line following the same path. So thought I have a go at making some.
This image shows the cows on the way to be milk.

Cows heading to the dairy.png (43.87 KiB) Viewed 3720 times

When doing this I wonder if I should separate the animals and place everything associated with that animal in the same menu.

At the moment I have all the cattle in Menu called Cattle. The dairys and all the cattle all in one menu.

Plan to do same with the sheep, horses, and pigs.

See if can have all this ready by next weekend.

Cheers

AuzAutoplaceObjectsV1

Some time ago one of our forum members called "Aegir" showed me how to have objects placed automatically at the very start of a game.
It a set of objects that are randomly placed on the map. You can not place these manually.

I did do a Cloud set called AuzObjectMODs some time ago. This is a improved version with extra objects added.

It has clouds (a tile with rocks shows you where to bulldoze if you now want that cloud where it is), old houses, people riding horses, ruins, windmills, farm dams, water troughs, people camping and fallen trees.

Appreciate if some of you test it for me and maybe have some ideas of other objects that could randomly be placed any where on the map.

Someone might be able to help with how to code objects to only go on water and on hills.
* I did try water objects but they also ended up on rivers. Like to code so only in large bodies of water.
* Objects that only build on hills .. as like to add some of the radar and communication towers.

Cheers

Subjects: Pigs

Added some more pigs to the farm set.

Piggy.png (43.86 KiB) Viewed 3522 times

They are multi select.
The pigs in the Pig Stys face South-West and South-East and have 8 tiles to choose from. 4 with mud and 4 with out.
Then there is a 5 multi select with no fences with 4 of pigs in mud and one just the mud.
Then there is 4 of pigs no fences or mud.

Hope these ready my the weekend.

In farm Objects have room for just 5 more objects. Once it is full I do NOT plan to do a add-on for the farms.

Can you think of a farm object that is missing?

Cheers

[Quast65]

In farm Objects have room for just 5 more objects.

I believe that recently this limit has been lifted.
Although I am not sure, maybe Kamnet knows.

"ping"

[GarryG]

I believe that recently this limit has been lifted.

But if I can add more then 256 objects to each GRF that means I have no excuse to keep adding more

For now I think if I stick to 256 limit .. it just might get some projects finished.

[Quast65]

it just might get some projects finished

You know that will never happen (and it's why we love you)

Hello!
I try it and it's great!
Although I haven't found people camping yet, not even a person on a horse, but I'll wait, maybe they will appear in a while

I thought of making a skydiver, not only how he landed on the grass, but how about who accidentally landed on a tree? Or a car that went on a rally and got lost.
Further on, resting road workers in orange vests or policemen (my idea is: the car is parked somewhere in a meadow and people lying down are resting around it)... A hunter who goes for a walk with his dog. Lovers Abandoned container... I also thought of a small illegal dump, but probably no one in the game would want that...


I'm adding a picture of what I see in the game

I better not tell my misses that she might get jealous.

That where I need you and other testes to let me know if there not enough or maybe to many of the objects on their maps.
I can adjust them before next update.

Also wonder if a parameter can be added so you can set your own.
The code is count_per_map256: 20; (where the 20 is indicates how many will appear on the map).

Subject: Update

I found a coding problem with the windmills, camping, horse riders and Dams. I used multi-select coding for them and I should have just made them single sets.

In process of fixing and also adding parameters so you can pick and choose what you want on your map.

Cheers

Subject: Test Upload

Been fiddling with the Auz Autoplace Objects and version 2 now available for testing and comments.

Changelog:
* Added Parameters t0 all the objects so you can turn off what you not want loaded.
* Fixed coding to Windmill, Dams, Troughs, Camping and Riding Horses so see more of them.
* Fixed clouds so they also on water
* Added Crocodiles (you can call them alligators if like)
* Added kids in canoes
* Added people in boats fishing.

Remember these can not be added to a game in progress.

If you can think of anything else I could add let me know.

Hope you like.

Here the game file and also the source.

Cheers

Some of those ideas might be ok. Maybe an abandon car, old farm machinery, old tractor, cross country motor bike riders to name a few with what you mentioned.

But I would code these so only a few would appear .. not to many.

But maybe it is worth contacting George to ask if you may use these graphics under GPLv2 in your GRF's...

I have contact George and he has given me permission to use them.
So I will add some of these to the "Ruins and Constructions" in my AuzTownObjectsAddOns.
I think many other parts would go well in other object sets too.
If there is any part that you would use as a object let me know.
An interesting use of the yellow trucks with cranes on them like in this photo I took on Thursday where a dog trailer broke lose from the main truck and roll and lost its bulldozer.
