May I suggest a simplification of the parameters menu?
1. Either all vehicles have zero costs or non-zero costs. I can't see a player wanting to mix and match these.
2. Either all vehicles are CC or random color. Again, i can't see a player wanting both at once.

For #2, it would cut down on a lot of clutter in the purchase list.

maybe I want some vans to be a very specific colour in a group, wile I have other eyecandy in the background

+1

I tend to say that I'm going to use both random and CC color for the vans. Application is that different branches of the same company may have different van liveries, so I'd like to rely on CC (ideally 2CC if it some time possible) for some fleet and use another one for second group of the van for another branch of my company. To reduce clutter, may it's possible to have for every vehicle two refit options: CC and random color? It will reduce the vehicle list.

Also, to reduce configuration options, I think it's better to use flag zero cost/non zero cost for all vehicles, not per vehicle model (I think if you want Toyota for free, you wouldn't mind to get Tesla for free too )

Cheers,
Alan

I agree. Id love to have some vans/busses running under my company color scheme while having random/rival company vans/busses on the road as well. Variety is everything

With that being said, i love the idea! Been using the original Porshe and Generic Cars GRFs ever since i found them years ago. This will be awesome replacement!

Are any of the vehicles in the image under your post actual GRF's?

The Porshe is based on the GRF, ive drawn it looking at the sprite of it in game. The trucks, trailer and container are mine abominations. The cars i have no idea. I know i tried making some cars my self looong time ago but if its these i dont know... Should i remove it, just to be sure?

Removed it. Sorry if it was anyhow problematic.

[Quast65]

Should i remove it, just to be sure?

No, please keep it, it looks great, I was just curious if I missed some nice cars

Well f What ever, ill make new one.

If you want i can try making some sprites.... but i dont promise anything. Mostly cuz its too small scale and my ADHD is beating the living sh*t out of my atention span.

Had a good conversation with Quast65 and we believe no matter how we code these sets some one will disagree.
This set was originally a project of Wallyweb and myself. We started it several years ago and it was only intended to be a eyecandy vehicles set. Just so the game would have cars on the roads and not just trucks and buses.

But Wallyweb is not longer with us so Quast65 was kind enough to help me finish this project in Honor of Wallyweb.

So we are releasing 2 versions of the Honest Wally Cars to satify everyone.

AuzHonestWallyCarsV8

This set you can choose what vehicles are free and what vehicles you pay for individually.
(A few times I tested I put the police car for free)

If any one has a different idea we be more then happy to supply you with the source and you can make what ever changes you wish to suit how you want it.

The Bus and Truck set which I have renamed "AuzVansAndMiniBusSet" I hope to have available in a day or 2.

[GarryG]

AuzVansAndMiniBusSetV6

Thought I'd let you have this set now.

Some people like it so can choose if want Company Colors or Random Colors, and some players want both.

I going to release it so have both. Any one want to re-code it to how they want your more then welcome to do so.
It is "GNU General Public License" so free to use and alter.

Here is the game file and source.

Catching up on a few Sports Objects that been in the pipe line for a long time.

On my train travels passing country towns many sports ovals just have the goal posts and no marking. Some have fencing but most don't. When there is a game to be played they use chalk or a white paint to mark the fields which washes away next shower of rain.
These goal posts and sport oval fences can be found in Object Selection Menu under the name Sport Fields.

Those goal posts and fences are ready to use.

All I need to do is put something in the infield and a few bikes on the track.

Not sure when they be finished. Busy rest of today and tomorrow,

Offtopic but I came across this from the sports news on tv and am impressed by the family's dedication towards skateboarding

[GarryG]

I hope to eventually do a skateboard park based on the one at Wallsend, suburb of Newcastle NSW, Australia. Also another smaller one I like between Barnsley and Homesville might be ok too.

But first let me catch up on other work first which probably take me a few months.

Cheers

[RoyalExamination9410]

Cool, I just saw this and it reminded me of you

Subject: velodrome
You can start using the velodrome now.

I put officials and bike rides and their supporters in the center as that seems to be what I see in images on internet with outdoor velodromes.
And in many cases it just grass in the center.

EDIT:

I just noticed in the image .. the bikes that I have on track are wrong. Some of the bikes are riding in the apron part. They should be above the black line. So please don't down load game file just yet. I try fix and upload a new game file in a few hours time.

EDIT EDIT:
Fixed that problem and also found a curve section with bikes I forgot to code in.
(One day they will invent a computer that knows when a person has forgot to do something)

Did a few more curved fences for the horse lovers.
The Horse shelter you will find them in the AuzFarmObjects.

Unfortunately the white fence in this image I do not have any horse shelters using these fences because the AuzFarmObject set is full.
If like I can make some but will have to place them with the AuzFarmObjectsAddOn sets.

Hello Garry,

Regarding to Wally cars, you can make them refittable to more types of cargo in a more efficient way by using "cargo classes". "Cargotype" is useful only if you use it along with "cargo classes" and want to specify further which cargos the vehicle is refittable.

For example,

Code: Select all

// Taken from C70 Gondola in China Set: Trains
// Cargo
refittable_cargo_classes:       bitmask(CC_MAIL, CC_EXPRESS, CC_BULK, CC_PIECE_GOODS, CC_COVERED, CC_OVERSIZED);
non_refittable_cargo_classes:   bitmask(CC_PASSENGERS, CC_LIQUID, CC_HAZARDOUS);
cargo_allow_refit:              [];
cargo_disallow_refit:           [YETI, YETY];

[GarryG]

Regarding to Wally cars

Not a bad idea. I know I mainly made these to use with in towns, but some players might like to use them in other ways and cargos.

Shall see what I can do.

EDIT:

Just had a stick beak at some vans and they cold carry almost any cargo except Passengers and Oversize.
Liquids could be in 20 liter drums, Hazardous good be crates of dynamite, or things like that. Bulk Grain, cement, sugar cargos like that would be in bags.
I know coal used to be delivered to house hold for use in heating and stoves for cooking.

Will work on these in coming days.

Cheers

In Honor of Wallyweb

Much thanks to Quast65 finding the errors in AuzHonestWallyCarsV4.

I have made the following repairs and can now release the update in AuzHonestWallyCarsV5.
The repairs were:

1. The graphics of the Jeep Grand Cherokee was wrong .. fixed
2. Move the Pink limousine up above the CC-colored one .. fixed
3. The colors behind the names of the police cars was in black and not silver like the others .. fixed
4. Also spelling mistake Police Blck & White .. fixed
5. Was a lot of naming errors in the parameter section .. fixed.

Suggestions that Quast65 asked:
1. I also think that a random colored limousine would be nice too .. added.
2. I also added another police car that available in Company Colours.
3. I really like the look of the couple of black cars that we have, maybe (if it is not too much work) it would be nice to give all the cars a Black option.
As that color doesnt exist on the (random) Company Color range .. (In the process of doing this and will be in a new upload in a day or so .. I hope).
4. The Black Porsche Carrera GT (made by Romazoon) I changed it to have random colours. I will put the black on in the next issue of this set along with the other black vehicles.

Here the new game file Version 5 and also the source. The source also has the template of the black cars I working on which will be in the next issue.

Cheers all

My condolences. I hope it's not insensitive to ask what happened to wally?
