They wouldn't be Lego trains if they had less space between the coaches. That's where the magnetic coupling goes. Lego trains rock.

Not really. Look at my newest MU's. That's the same as an pretty old LEGO train (the grey one) had.

not before the first 32bpp ottd is finished?

before you show up with your next when question, I will say that right now nobody is working on it and while no work is done, the progress indicator says it will be far into the future

some initial coding started once, but it stopped again because the guy working on it left the project. I think I still got the diff if anybody is interested. I will have to say that it's 100% sure that it can't be applied to the current code without some coding and if it is applied, it's not playable anyway

I'm quite sure some initial coding was started at least three (or i believe even four) times.

i think they were abandoned, since nobody can agree on a format...

what has to be done when coding a grf?

bobingabout · Post by **bobingabout** » 28 Oct 2005 13:02

this is a 32bpp mod.

can't do 32bpp in grf.

Alltaken · Post by **Alltaken** » 28 Oct 2005 13:25

currently i can provide "standards" that you can meet which will get these GFX to a format the future game will understand.

but no they will not be playable untill that is done.

all that is happening in any 32bpp development is artists are creating all the objects needed so that when the cod is altered the work has already been done and it is playable.

so far i have not seen brickland items rendered in a way that would be able to be put into a game, so currently brickland is in a "model" collecting stage.

then it will need to go to rendering, coding (item info...)

the rendering part could be done now, but the item info coding can't really be done till a format is found.

(There is/was discussion of 32bbp using grf files (with filenames instead of realsprites[0]), but I digress.)

[0]eg:

Code: Select all

0*0 01 00 01 48
0*0 FC 0F 12 "view000.png" 00
0*0 FC 0C 13 "view001.png" 00
...

instead of

Code: Select all

0*0 01 00 01 48
0 view000.pcx 0 0 01 ...
0 view001.pcx 0 0 01 ...
...

it's more a question to how the game itself handles the new sprites. Once the graphic engine can actually display them, the question on how to store them, the question of storing them is rather simple in comparison

the game engine already handles them AFAIK. i have a build here that runs 32bpp sprites. i have asked for it not to be made public untill we decide how to store them. i (personally) don't want lots of GFX being distributed in an incomplete/incorrect format. i also want things like artist credits to be in place before things are distributed.

How many times must I tell you that there's already a perfectly good system for storing copyright info, credits, &c.

Alltaken · Post by **Alltaken** » 31 Oct 2005 05:40

yes i know the patch has it (in their GFX GUI) but OTTD doesn't.

it needs to be visable, not somthing you need to read code to see.

note, most things won't simply have a single sprite image like GRFs do, for what i've been told, each sprite will include 3 images.

the image itself, the shadow mask, and the tri-remap layer for the company colours.

the tri-remap is required because you can't add the remap information to a true colour image the same way to do to a palleted image by reserving colours in that pallete to be remapable, so, the company colours is in a sepereate image. tri-remap allows us to have upto 3 company colours.

I made a large frieght plane. (Idea from that big six-engined antonov.)

Looks more like a small private jet.

You need to give it a better sense of scale. If the plane is so huge, give it MUCH smaller windows. And makes its body wider/fatter (like with Antonovs

).
