2 Saskia: The site has moved, don;t see any train pictures

I did se this thing, but I can't follow the links, so I don't know which pictures Saskia meant.

Ok, we just got some more Falls self-discharging hoppers - blue and green, probably for grain.

Saskia · Post by **Saskia** » 12 Jul 2004 07:54

Ok, I corrected the links.

The Falls are nice, but remember: for Grain the Talls is used

Colonel32 · Post by **Colonel32** » 12 Jul 2004 19:12

Talls was introduced in mid-ninetees. Falls would be a refit option in earlier years.

Saskia · Post by **Saskia** » 13 Jul 2004 09:25

Hm, but have they really been used for grain? Because Falls was built as "high-performance" ore hopper

(but that doesn't mean, we coudn't use the colourful Falls *g*)

In our country they have been used as coal hoppers ever since. Not sure if they were used for grain, though. But Purno had posted a picture of a green Falls some time age, and I have seen blue myself, so I just made them. And refit option for grain seemd like a smart idea to me.

Saskia · Post by **Saskia** » 14 Jul 2004 07:43

I didn't say something against the colours

I know Falls as hopper for ore, coal and other industrial stuff like cement, bedrock, and so on. But using it for grain seemed to me like using a gasoline tanker for milk

Good News: I have finished the first version of Talls covered-grain-hopper (Only "Closed" stage yet)

Bad News: I will HAVE TO be gone next two weeks (instead of one), but who cares about me, right?

Just that Saskia said to create the new spreadsheet (something like a month ago)

2 ALL: anybody else interested in working on the cargoset? Some coders?

2 Purno, Saskia: I was thinking, shouldn't we add cargo stations to the cargoset?

Well, I think we should release the ECS ASAP. So IMO we just make a first release with cargo cars only, and then after release we could work on cargo stations. Besides that, there are already people working on stations. These stations don't have to be included in the ECS, they can be an individual GRF file (IMO).

I was also hoping for some comments to my graphics. I still remember how you looked over my first freightcar (the Eas), and picking out so many bugs... am I getting better or what?

Purno · Post by **Purno** » 18 Jul 2004 10:56

Sorry Colonel32

Well I looked at the sprites, and I must say, I can't find any possible improvements. You're really getting better. You did that carriage better than I would do it

Do you have any links to photos of stations that might look good in the game?

Thanks, nice to hear.

2 Cornelius: Not sure. Will look, though. You like the idea?

Nothing to do

looks perfect

But I'm with Purno in the stations issue. We could bundle the ECS and cargo stations, but combining them would make it impossible to use these cargo stations together with DB set or US set

@Cornelius: will also take a look

Colonel32 · Post by **Colonel32** » 22 Jul 2004 09:41

Good news: looks like we'll move a bit foreward. Petr Vanek is interested in the freightcars, so that he could use them in the CSDset, and to speed up the process, he is willing do do the coding... I am going to supply him with my graphics, and I would like to know, if you (Purno, Saskia, Raven) are OK with using some of your graphics in the CSDset - properly credited, of course.

Purno · Post by **Purno** » 22 Jul 2004 09:46

Oh that's great news! Of course that set may use my graphics. (I would like to know which ones).

Saskia · Post by **Saskia** » 22 Jul 2004 11:36

Sure!

(Although I haven't drawn so much)

Colonel32 · Post by **Colonel32** » 23 Jul 2004 10:30

2 Saskia, Purno - I would need some tankers (saskia - those one in you sig looks pretty good)

I'll be gone for a week, but I hope to load most of the carriges, during that time.

I have tried to load Eas with wood, but it does not look good, I will need to work on it. So, just a preview:
