Zimmlock as for prison it looks very good but it needs some shading and should be more difference (walls are too uniform)

Hi Shadow, I have tryed to make WIN versions but didn't succeed, to my opinion its a monster to do this. It would be verry fine if there would exist a small tool like the GRF wizard what is able to create WIN executables from a DOS trg1.grf, and visa versa.
Just choose from what to what, DOS - WIN, WIN - DOS, enter the sprite numbers you want and off you go.

About the uniform look of the walls, i had more diversety before, I didn't like it, it made the building to blury, but maby ill apply some to the outerwall, however, than its harder to see the diffrence between the street and the wall. Ill think of it.

I would do the conversions for you, but I´m not at home at the moment. Ask Rob about it, he will surely do it (when he has the time..). When noone does it untill friday I will do it. Or try it on your own, I wrote some time ago the way how to do it.

And by thew way, I made the bigger version of the flat.

. But your building seems to be a better improvement.

Zimmlock i have provided the warehouse & fountain etc, in Windows Grf & Dos. I have a thread..http://www.tt-forums.net/viewtopic.php?t=8832

It would be great if you could use some of your time to generate WIN.exe files. Several peolpe have given me advice how to do this but i don't manage, it verry confusing.
If possible send me for each building separate a ZIP file containing a WIN .exe and a WIN _undo.exe file.
Than i can destribute them.

I have seen this, and i thenk you for your help, but i can't do or don't know how to do with these .GRF files. I only like executables.

And now something diffrent

I know a lot of TTD players are a kind of alergic for the Statue sprite, i don't hate it but its certainly not my favorite.
(did anyone ever meet a Tycooner who told you the Statue is his favorite !!)

So here is a replacement for the Statue, i have named it The Statue Residence, The building can look a little familiar thats because i borrowed a building from an other climat

EDIT I was able to create a WIN.exe file

It comes without an undo file.
This was the only one i could make, the GRF wizard keeps making trouble with "run time error 5"

WOW!!!

Can't wait for it to be available for Win!

Why not make replacements also for the fountain and the parks? These should add some extra buildings to our needed cities

Once again only a DOS version is available.

first, you put the graphics into newgrf folder in your ttd folder, now if you dont have newgrf.cfg, do one, and add newgrf/graphicsnamehere.grf , good thing in grf's is they dont need undo.

Wo Ho!! hold your horses, I have a verry long list of "to do sprites" i guess i ll end up rebuilding almost al buildings and parks. But not the fountain, a town without ornaments / squares is no town

Sorry for double post.

Its not this what causes the problem, but it are the diffrent colors between DOS and WIN, however help is on the way, you could have read it above

you can convert from Dos to windows with grf wizard

SAC · Post by **SAC** » 20 Jul 2004 07:53

For some reason I can't get the new Statue-Residence to show up in my game! I still have the original butt-ugly statue everywhere!

Yes i did and do but when the wizard has ot create .exe end undo in for DOS there is no problem and it works fine. If it has to do the same task for WIN it never works if i instruct to make an undo file to. And it just some time works if i just ask for a .exe. But mostly it troubles me with the messege "Run time error "5"" Don't think i put to long file names, i never put longer once than 3 carracters. I get realy

with the wizard. I have tryed to in put the command manualy, but with same result. The wizard is a verry fine tool, without i can't even create the simpelst sprite but i am sure it has some kind of bug. I have the latest version of all requiered, GRFcodec, GRFwizard and the latest run time thing for Win98se.
