I like your s. Thing is though, would it actually hover, or scrape across the road. I see that you have made the blue box larger, but does that make a difference?

I must say I like the idea with the Oil Van.

if they do scrape you could always add fans to the back and a sort of shaded bit at the bottom to make them hovercrafts

There's no way you could possibly tell they weren't hovering. There's no way to be sure that the road vehicles in the game already aren't hovering!

Yeh but my point is that it could just look like it was a car/truck/whatever with no wheels just going along. I like Lil Dood's Idea.

Also, to make the hovercraft more 'hovercraft-like', the coder would need to be able to make the acceleration really smooth and nippy.

if they where gana make hovering cars/trucks, i thought that they might make new roads too. i came up with this. its not very good coz i rushed it

this truck carries wood. im not sure why but to me it looks smaller then the other ones i made.
the top eight sprites are without wood and the bottom 8 show it with wood

Well usually, the blue box is kept to the minimum, just to the size of the vehicle. That's the way I've seen most people do it.

Also I realy like the road that you made. Is it one made using Blender? And I presume that the lights flah like on the runway. It is another thing for the futuristic feel really.

Maybe all the things could be put together to make a futuristic patch, which would go with the patch which the peter (a developer of Open TTD) made that lets you go past 2090.

This is exactly what i want to do. but i think i lack in skills such as detail. i made a coil truck but it was to small so i didnt post it. it also looks boring because theres not much detail on it.

the coil truck is bellow but its not ready yet (too small/lacks detail)

no i didnt use blender i just took a screen shot of a road near an airport and then i opened the screen shot using MS paint and cut the lights off the runway and pasted them onto the road. thats y the road looks very 'uneven'

and i would like the lightes to flash

Tidus97 · Post by **Tidus97** » 11 Jan 2006 15:26

Benbo, u posted something saying you wanted different bus stops. is it ok if i can use your designe to create a futureistic one?
PS: i dont get what the green is for.

Make a goods trucks just change the oil one a bit so instead of the white or black bit its the same as the rest of the container

Tidus97 · Post by **Tidus97** » 12 Jan 2006 01:48

ill do that now.
and i have made some other trucks but im going to post them all together.
i made a bus stop but i didnt but in shading and detail etc so if some one can do that for me itll be great (and maybe change the way t looks)

add fans to the back

i dont think in 2090 (or whenever these trucks are gana be available), they will still be using fANS to make these cars hover. they would have some other way to do it (just dont ask me how

)

i dont think that hovers, but it has sphere-shaped wheels. this is very clear on-screen, esp when the car is upside-down.

Tidus97 · Post by **Tidus97** » 12 Jan 2006 10:19
