And besides that; it looks like you are answering a question wich is refered at me.

Well, perhaps you are interested in the 'tracking table'-excel sheet for the Dutch Trainset for TTDPatch?

Its those special livery`s who are teh difficult ones i guess.

The Sprinterliner was never done. So in what year was this idea? etc.

Oh special liveries... nopes, we don't have those. Only the most common ones used over time. Sry.

DMU invasion.

(I will use the yellow color of the Syntus Buffel for the normal trains in the next release)

Have you tried blending the dark-sided trains and the fullbright trains together in Photoshop, say like 50%? That might actually produce optimal results. See the house in the lower right corner of the picture, the front wall is only slightly darker than the right one.

Locomotion objects are actually rendered with very strange lighting, not the standard strong light source upper right, but something like 4 lightsources scattered all around. You can see it in the scenario editor when the trains rotate.

But, of course you're entitled to your own personal taste, if this is what you want.

I could try that, but then i need to make a new batch file for it. Hold on i gonna make a test sprite

On teh other hand; i think you will get back to teh shaden versions then again...

Actually, I don't know if it's possible to batch two file sources together in Photoshop - never tried it.

If it doesn't work, PM me and I'll give you a tip on how to blend two image sequences together VERY easily.

From what I can see, the shaded MSTS conversions are too dark, while the unshaded ones are too bright imho. So trying to blend them together would be just the thing maybe. I mean, just try to put one test sprite (number 0) into Loco which is 50% blended of those two and it might be just what we're looking for - MSTS conversions which have a lighting similar to the game objects.

Hmm, i just go the way i just turned in. But as long as people wont fix the program. (The source files are available) then you will still have this.

Illegal_Alien · Post by **Illegal_Alien** » 01 Apr 2006 14:44

It will eb something like this then: (I dont see any improvements though) Scrap that last one. Hmm, now to find a way to Batch process that stuff

strongbow · Post by **strongbow** » 01 Apr 2006 14:56

Well I wouldn't necessarily use a train which has a darkgrey frontmask for the test if you know what i mean.

If you can, try that big white train as it would be the best to see the difference and might also benefit the most from the method.

Ok, the darkest part:

Illegal_Alien · Post by **Illegal_Alien** » 01 Apr 2006 15:13

Its the lazyness of the programmers... I am just doing it the way i do.

strongbow · Post by **strongbow** » 01 Apr 2006 15:17

IA, could you please PM me frame 32 (as in the picture of all trains together) of the white train with dark sides and fullbright? I would just like to try something, see if it makes a difference.

Illegal_Alien · Post by **Illegal_Alien** » 02 Apr 2006 11:05

Ok Easy question (See Poll)

A = VC Converted ala Illegal_Alien

B = LocoTSFX Converted

Shifty Powers · Post by **Shifty Powers** » 02 Apr 2006 12:30

@ IA: How did you managed this wonderfull prgress with the VC?

Illegal_Alien · Post by **Illegal_Alien** » 02 Apr 2006 12:47

I am still a little bit experimenting with it.

Btw, The poll will be closed at 00.00 hours. (14.47 is my time now) so you all have about 5 to 6 hours time left to vote.)
