I like it, just as much as the other creations.
Be careful though, the groundsprite should not contain any pixel sticking out of the bounding square, otherwise it can cause clipping errors (I'm referring to the trees here).
BTW, do you have a coder (or will you do it yourself) for this set?

@ Szappy, have already people to do the codeing but ill keep it in mind.

A New Large-Office-Block, with an exterrior elevator.

Unfortunately, the lift won't work with newhouses

I'm thinking on allowing building animation in some way, but it surely won't work like it does with old office blocks, but will allow animating the buildings themselves instead.

You are wrong, the lift works and moves nicly up and down

It maby doesnt work when its on a separate grf, but as long as its on the trg1 it works.

Yes, he was exactly referring to that, that it won't work in a separate grf, activated by the newhouses code.
BTW, if you haven't noticed Csaboka is the one who developed that feature, so I think he knows what can be done with it...

Yes, now i am awake, you'r right what you write there. Than its better this building will not be in a separate grf but just an .exe.

It can be a separate grf, but it can't be a new house (a new type, not overwriting the old office tower) without losing the lift. Maybe I can fix this, though, but it would disable random triggers 1 and 2 for that type.

I don't understand this well, but the house i drawn is not a realy new house, i have just modifeied the old one and had to move the lift sprite position in the nfo file.

I understand that it currently overwrites an old building, but I think people will want to use your creations as a "newhouses" grf, so they can keep old types while enabling your buildings as well (and it's still easy to overwrite old types by specifying a parameter). I said that this (adding your office building as a new type) won't work perfectly unless I do something about it: the building will show up, but the lift won't.

Zimmlock · Post by **Zimmlock** » 17 Sep 2004 08:22

Aha, oké, i just continue drawing, all coding ll be done by others, i have 6 buildings left to do. Vacation has finished so i have less time now hope to have done them all end of oktober.

End of october i guess, have to do 5 more buildings, the construction sites of the Hotel, and the coding.

Just wondering, no rush i know RL gets in the way most of the time.

your new building is really awesome. It looks more realistic then your other new buildings. Your other buildings are great aswell. keep on with the great work.

I have started to rebuild the suburbs. Now the city has grown the little country side like houses look a little outplaced. I have the intention to let the suburbs, better out skirts, grow to match the city.
Here the first replacement for a set of houses.
It are simpel flats (12) to rent above a local shoping area.
