I don't know if this is the place to ask, but since there is an animated loco in the USset, is it possible to animate RV sprites too? It could pretty much solve the articulated buses' behaviour in turns (replacing diag sprites w/maybe 2 or 3 sprites, like entry, mid-turn, exit, but could be difficult as far as timing goes, and also coordinates, but that would be feasible I guess), with some tinkering (moving the bus around within the sprites themselves) it could even look pretty natural...
OK guys I don't have time to read this all so give me a link or an answer. How do I install version 3? And do I need to have all vehicles? What about this AI or whatever (what is this)?

NOOOO!!!! Please don't ask that question! Now I have to go figure out the answer.

I think the answer is yes. Variable E2 can be used to determine if and how the vehicle is turning, and then (optionally) variables 9A and 9C can be used to figure out where in the turn the vehicle is.

The test for the set usage is passed Some one have tested it
so you can do the final release
Done 10 minutes ago.

The 24 sprites action 1 is in Josef's TODO list for about 1.5 years. Ask him. Without it it requires x5 sprites. It is too much sprites to waste.

That, and the fact that it uses 3-4x as many sprites...

As usual. as all the other grf files. The only diff is that they have to be placed after some other grf files, for example after cargo set.

If you use AIManager then yes. If you don't, than no
Shindler wrote:What about this AI or whatever (what is this)?
AImanager is the file to teach the AI to buy LVs. Still in alpha state. Works only in temperate.
Still have one big problem. If there are no RV that can carry some cargo type by default, it will not try to build the route for this cargo type, even if there are models, which can be refitted to this cargo.

To show articulated bus you need
1) not turning sprite
2) first part turned left
3) last part turned left
4) first part turned right
5) last part turned right
it is x5 sprites. With new action 1 it would require only 1,2,4 groups of sprites.
Fix your site! Those are not text/plain. (ditto for the rest of the downloads directory.)
Or are you intentionally making your site inaccessable to anyone not using IE?
I don't see any problem in Firefox Save as works here
I suggested to George some time ago to have buses with open doors while loading/unloading. But, there is sprites x 2. So I think it's the reason why you don't have animated vehs, isn't it, George?

actually, to cover all the angles, I guess it's x8. Maybe I'm missing something because of my lack of patch knowledge...
I think I'm gonna get flamed, but, I thought that the turning sprites could be assembled from those already done, by adding the stretched 'joint' so it would not have to be so much work to draw. But, a waste of sprites is a waste of sprites...
The testw.grf won't load here either - sprite #198...
OK, I'm quiet already!
