AuzObjects

[GarryG]

Here updates to auzTownObjects and auzObjectsPre1900.

I had a try at fixing the graphics to those 2 and 3 story apartments as suggested by Quast65.

Hope the are ok.

Cheers

[Quast65]

Indeed improved, cheers!

EDIT:
However...
After looking at it again after a good nights sleep, I do think that the texturing could be a bit more visible/obvious.
Especially on the light/bright colored buildings.
I dont know if you use a layer for that, if so, make it at least 25% less see-thru and see how that looks.

Especially the grey roofs of the shops need a lot more visible texturing.
its too clean

[GarryG]

What I used was a colour 2 shades darker or lighter then the main colour and set the transparency at 40%.

I did do the gray roofs but then it rained and made them all clean again. well not actually I forgot to do them.

shall work on them again when I get home this afternoon.

Quast65 and I been looking at some surf improvements.

(2.92 MiB) Downloaded 237 times

and these are some test files of several ideas that I experimenting with let us know what you think of some of these.
Don't let the rocks graphics worry you they only to experiment with. Hope do better rocks once get the surf surfing better.

Cheers

EDIT:

Still no internet at my home so have to visit library each time. Looks like have to do this for at least another 4 weeks.

[GarryG]

still no internet at home and will be that way for at least 2 more weeks.

In mean time kamnet reminded me of a old project that I forgot about and was working on almost 4 years ago called AuzConveyBelts.

i started a forum for this at.

Hi all,

still visiting library. If all goes well I should have my internet back on at home by tomorrow.

In mean time I see in The Screenshot Of The Month
Next theme will be... ADVENTURE IS OUT THERE!. Interpret as you'd like
viewtopic.php?p=1268207#p1268207
really got me thinking what objects could be made for such a theme?

If you have a idea but no one has coded it yet .. then throw your ideas in and just maybe myself or one of the other coders might be able to do something about it.

Cheers all

maybe some form of landmark set? probably wouldn't fit with modern skyscrapers, but old landmarks such as the pyramids, aztec temples, medieval towers and castles could be nice . Have to say though, It probably wouldn't be too much of an auzobject set . If you want to stick true to auzobjects though, you could try doing some motels or roadside gas stations, trailer parks etc ( A true aussie adventure would be a roadtrip )

Hope that your internet gets better too, I wish you luck on that.

Oh yes seconded, would be nice to see different landmarks from around the world

I do plan on drawing some landmarks, too, although I'm planning for more skyscraper/highrise landmarks, not so much statues or ancient wonders. I do like garry's style and I would love to see him try some popular australian landmarks like the big banana or the sydney opera house

[GarryG]

still no internet at home.

anyon heard he song from Johnny Mathis .. the 12th of Never. maybe that what internet provider meant when said will visit on the 12th.

To stop my mind going insane with no internet at home, I went for a train ride out into the country yesterday and got some photos of farm buildings and added a few more objects.

Made some of the more modern water tanks and a few sheds.

Water Tanks.png (35.24 KiB) Viewed 3738 times

The tanks by clicking continues will cycle through 8 versions of that that particular colour of single and double tanks that can be placed near previous buildings.

There are 3 buildings for the 2 directions. (Room for 5 more when get chance to make them).

Enjoy

Looks nice! I'm a huge fan of the texturing, maybe you could create some farm markets to fit in with the theme? you could us the farmer's market from simcity as inspiration

What version is that .. I only have the original and version 4?

It's the farmer's market building from simcity 4, Should pop up when you type it up. I think it could fit into a set like yours well

Shall have a look and see if can make something from it. The image itself should give some ideas to make something similar.

Made those harvesting crates. Might need add a few extra crop pieces to some crops to use these better.

Can not add any more separate objects. What I ad not will be extensions to the multi-select crops.

Also split the crops to "Grain Crops" and "Vegetable Crops"

Ah ok, sounds good. I apologize if I'm a bit pressuring, but maybe you could accompany these farmer's markets with some gravel/dirt parking spaces? Great work as always

Had a look at some on internet. when I get chance to work on them I think they will be put in auzObjectsAddOns. But I will check for space when I get home.

My mate "fridaemon" has some objects that could be used with a little tweaking.

Cheers

Would it be possible to add in road objects sets an overhead metal structure like you had but without any road signs for both single and overlap for dual roads?

Hi Garry,

If you have some time would you be able to add this structure in road objects for weight/speed control? Just an idea

We have those in Australia too. Maybe if I make some I could get the camera to flash a red light as if reading he number plates of vehicles passing under.

Farm Additions:

* I forgot to tell you that the previous release has these portable stock yards with metal fences.

Portable Stock Yards.png (50.79 KiB) Viewed 3340 times

* Next issue will have a some changes made to the following to free up some IDs.
Want to join what objects I can and make them multi select so I can free up some IDs for futre additions.

Some I plan to make as multi-select objects are:
** The 2 Old Farm Houses.
** Flowers in Green Houses.
** Grain Trucks. (I did these last night and it freed up 4 IDs)
** Irrigation (this will give me a chance to make a few more types).
** Road Vehicles.
** Scare Crows.
** Stock Yards.
** and maybe the wheat fields.

Why do I want to do this? To free up some IDs to make some more farm objects. I been travelling by train out into the country and taking photos of farms and these are giving me some ideas.

Such as this irrigation .. not sure if I be able to animate it and it go around the 360 degrees .. but just a stationary one will look good.

Will take me a while to do what I have planned.
