I need a little help!
I want to ask you something? Can I draw on paint and if I can what I should know and how I need to do it?Because now I can't do anything on other program:(
Many of the brilliant "pixel-pushers" use paint, its fairly easy to use.. Purno's tutorials are an excellent source of help

However, my tutorials mainly tell how to draw trains, not really how to draw roadvehicles, buildings or other thingies. (it still contains useful information about them)

but atleast you have all the dimensions where as georges i couldnt find stuff about limitations of rvsHowever, my tutorials mainly tell how to draw trains, not really how to draw roadvehicles, buildings or other thingies. (it still contains useful information about them)

I can't find any maximum sprite sizes either.
Your tutorial has no such information.Purno's tutorial wrote:The / and \ views are 8x2 pixels long (every pixel the line goes up, it goes 2 pixels sidewards, so 8x2 pixels is actually 16 pixels for the whole line). The width of the / and \ views is 3x2 pixels. The | view has a front of 7 pixels high (this can be a pixel higher for doubledecker trains). But if the train has a sloped front, the front in | view takes more pixels (the length of the roof will decrease then). The roof in | is usually 16 pixels long. _ view is 32 pixels long (this may be 31 if this fits better). The side in | view is 7 pixels in height and the roof takes 4 pixels.
A train sprite doesn't have to be this size. The sizes mentioned are the maximum sizes. With TTDPatch it's possible to make shorter train sprites up to 5/8 of their maximum length.
To get a good answer, ask a Smart Question. Similarly, if you want a bug fixed, write a Useful Bug Report. No TTDPatch crashlog? Then follow directions.

Which can be found on which page?
AFAICT, neither tutorial nor tutorial2 contains or links to that image.
