ECS vectors v1.1.2 (by George) 19/06/2011

[George]

Any plans to revamp ECS Vectors to utilize the new 16 cargoes input and output?

In case some free time would appear - yes. But currently I'm very busy with the other project, not related to OTTD, and I can't find free time even for xUSSR set

Are there any sources to be found of these fantastic graphics?

No, because not all the graphics can be freely distributed. Some graphics are granted under ECS only permissions.
But for graphics, marked by graphics by George on the wiki, you can ask me, and I'll send you the source files I have

Thank you for your reply!
I saw that another person already has the same request I have:
viewtopic.php?f=26&t=88598
No need to double-up that request then, I will see if I am able to support the other project.

Hi George,

I thought about having your tourist centres as object set. Is there any possibilty to have it or publishing source code?

Not every tourist center is under license to be used outside ECS. Which ones are you interested in?

Hi George, why not open source everything under GPL like the main game is doing?

This GRF was made by several graphics artists, who then agreed on the license that ECS now has.
Some of them are currently unreachable (believe me, I tried ), so for some graphics the license cant be changed...

More specific question - who is the author of the castles?

I have number of ideas in my mind with castles.

I can answer to this by myself based on the wiki

Karlstein castle is made by Darkwalker https://www.tt-wiki.net/wiki/ECS_Town_V ... _Karlstein
Neu Schwanstein castle is made by George with help from Oz and Zimmlock (road to entrance, shadows) https://www.tt-wiki.net/wiki/ECS_Town_V ... ein_Castle

Three years ago, I had a plan to convert ECS into objects, however a lot of other (reallife) stuff distracted me

This is how far I came with finding out the artists of the several industries:
ECS_splitbyartist.txt
If there is an * in front of the name, I send them a message (either via PM or email).
If there is also a X in front of the name, I got a reply (in this case, all positive to use the graphics in a CC-BY-NC-SA 3 licensed GRF, same license as ECS).
If there is nothing in front of their name, I could not find any contactinfo.

So, in your case, the main issue with the castles is that Oz didnt reply to my messages...
Which (at the moment, but I am afraid permanently) rules out:
- Goodrich Castle
- Watching Tower

You should be ok with getting permission (depending on the license you will give your GRF) from George to use:
- Japan Castle
- Neuschwanstein Castle (AFAIK Oz's & Zimmlocks work/help on that was not that huge to be eligable for copyright)

I didnt get any sources of KarlsteinCastle, So I never contacted Darkwalker.
I saw that he has been on the Forum earlier this year, so a PM might work...

Good luck!

Thank you! I will try to investigate a little.
