OK, I'm new as graphic creator. For first try I've created this edition of original house from TTD. Next, I will create next editions.

Editing someone's work isn't a bad way to learn something, but you won't learn much of just copying a house next to another one. Make it a bit more complicated for yourself :wink:

I'll be waiting for your own graphics. ;)
By the way, that avatar looks like an AST wallpaper. I had the exact same one on my old computer.

Personally, I recommend:
- grfcodec 0.9.10
- grfcodec 0.9.5 (yes, both versions)
- NFOEditor (because this particular program can only read the output of 0.9.5 or earlier)
- NFORenum

Numbers 2 and 3 are optional, but they make adjusting the sprite offsets substantially easier. Strictly, number 4 is optional too, but only if you're a glutton for punishment. Then again, some people would say that only glutons for punishment use NFO in the first place.

These programs are quite good at letting you do absolutely everything that's in the NewGrf spec, unlike GRFMaker, which, for better or for worse, often thinks that it is smarter than you.
Sometimes that's a good thing, but I generally prefer programs that say "I think you're being an idiot here, but I'll let you be an idiot if that's what you so desire", especially with languages that change so frequently.
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.

That it most certainly is! :D
Anyway, enough off-topic.

Nice graphics there, I think you should be good enough to draw a few of your own houses, using those as a reference. :]

Not bad at all! You've got some talent :)

As mentioned by others, studying and editing existing graphics can be a very good way to learn the basics of TTD graphic and there's nothing bad in it.
However, since now you have already got some practice, why not starting something yourself? Get a simple model of a real house or something, and try to render it in TTD style, using the experience you've gained so far.

That looks like the bounding box is too small for that.
You can enlarge it by editing the numbers after the sprite location, 18 8 on my example.
0 C:\TTD\SPRITES\trg1.pcx 530 10664 01 18 8 -3 -10

But you can't change the bounding box that way. Bounding box and sprite size have nothing to do with each other.

The bounding box is it the house's action 2

Sorry about the incorrect information.
BUT does increasing the sprite size fix the PeCeT_full's problem?
