Development is being abandoned as no graphics have time...
That is what I was afraid...sadly whole team was stricken with the incurable disease we all suffer from, adult life.
Well, let's hope at least whatever is there will be shared one day, perhaps like it was via google drive (still using that "unreleased" Czech town graphics in my games, that I have gotten from there - its awesome, even if not fully finished )

I'd downloaded CZTR content once again and it worked like a charm!
OK great
Sometimes computers do what they want
I wish you a nice day
Any chance you heard anything development wise over on the Czech groups/sites?
Been keeping and eye here and on their FB, but seems sadly it went dead after those few posts about bridges being worked on. Though there was some, largely silent update on Bananas if I was not mistaken ?
Hi!
I check their facebook page almost daily. And it's true that there has been some, as you say, silent update, but otherwise basically nothing is happening. It is clear to me that development work will take a lot of time (I tried to develop several Czech objects myself and gave up... it is insanely time-consuming and the work is like a church - I admire e.g. GarryG, who is on forum almost every day and he's always developing new things and improving old ones, that's really cool for me!) and one shouldn't worry about other things. But I still believe that after such a great start, something new will appear at least occasionally. Because the graphics are just great! German trains (and variant points - I use them as gates and signals) are great too, but there are no Czech machines and cars (and they are a bit smaller). Great barracks and cars, including buses are in Temporal Real*** graphics. The nice barracks are also in Full English - UK Townset graphics. But nobody has trams like in CZTR. He also tries a lot for flogeza, which does not have a full extra zoom, but it comes very close. HVW Set again has nice trucks and trams. Quite simply, graphics with extra zoom are quite enough. But CZTR is simply ours. And so I hope that the development has not completely stopped and will continue. Even if only slowly.

Don't forget that GarryG is retired from normal job so he can take the (unfortunately unpaid) fulltime job of OTTD graphics development
(In German, we call this type of retirement "Unruhestand" - maybe somebody can get the meaning)
But the overall message to me from such projects is that they should be put on GitHub or a related service with a proper license to allow people to join development and - if the original creators have to move on to something else - other persons can take up the project and data instead of simply loosing a lot of nice stuff (and countless hours of work) if source code and graphics are not public.
Source code is not public due to fact that some of the models are not with a compatible license, there was many times when someone left the team and did not specify it.
I am also sad due to no trams, if someone here is good in graphics making (both extra or normal zoom possible), I would like to make some tram set with them, as I joined CZTR as an coder of NML stuff. In my opinion best would be classic zoom and palette due to CCs and compatibility with majority of sets. (there are already some usable buses, a lot of various trains incl. V4 CEE and so on)

The bridges the towns maked bugs out and are like straight but every part of the bridge is rotated 90 degrees
It has been said several times on this forum... The bridges aren't finished yet, for roads there is only one bridge done. You have to manually replace all of them, If you want non-bugged bridges.

I'm impressed by the work that has been done and I enjoy playing with this set. However it's really a shame that the sources are not public to a) make it easy to start contributing and b) be able to fork it or use some of the graphics as base for new sets. Is there any way the license issues can be solved and a GitHub repo set up? What about adding at least the artifacts that do have a good license to a repo? I'd be willing to invest some time in trying to help with some things, even though I'm completely new to this. But it looks super interesting.
Olá, me chamo Yuri! Queria saber o porque as texturas das casas não parece elas aparecem com a textura normal do jogo, a textura da ponte e estranha e não aparece todas as árvores que foram adicionadas ao pacote
(Atenção): eu instalei todos os pacotes do (CZTR / 32bpp)

Hello, my name is Yuri! I was wondering why the textures of the houses don't seem they appear with the normal texture of the game, the texture of the bridge is weird and it doesn't appear all the trees that were added to the package
(Warning): I installed all the packages of (CZTR / 32bpp)

So, the houses are not public yet - you have to use another set like "Temporal's Real houses", there have already been many comments about the bridges - they are not finished, will be probably (and hopefully ) fixed with the next update (if it ever comes, although they said a few days ago on Facebook, that they are still working on CZTR) and I don't know what you mean with trees, it's never happened to anyone, so I guess it's some of the other mods you have active. A screenshot would be appreciated.

Welcome to the game (CZTR).
Bridges have already been written here. I will just say that the road bridges are not finished. On the other hand, almost all railway bridges should work.
And one little piece of advice at the end: it's good to have the tree graphic in the lowest possible position in the list of graphics
Both of the road segments labeled dalnice (1 or 2) both have a NOT SUPPORTED visual error when the road has a four way crossing/intersection.
Creates an eyesore when playing with AI once this road type becomes available.

Dálnice = Highway. The "dálnice" roads are meant to be put next to each other and made into one-way streets, that's why there are 2 types (facing opposite way) and also you usually don't have "classic" 4-way intersection on highway connecting opposite directions (there are "more complex" intersections in place). And speaking of AI, you just have to prevent it from happening. I recommend buying up the land around, letting the city build around it and then deleting it (you don't have to delete the purchased land, but it looks out of place with the original grf). I don't know how to prevent the city from messing up the "inside" part of the highway tho, maybe just build the highway further out of the city...
Screenshot, so you can better understand what I mean...
