Alltaken: Just downloaded all your work. So it appears to be in many places now. Thanks a lot for uploading everything. Have loads of fun in your new carear, and ideally make enough money so that you can retire within a few months and continue your work here.

Weirdy: er...not very far, I intend to model on more hardcore after Chrisitmas, but am lacking motivation currently. Dmc_mac said he still scans the forums, so hopefully is only on a 'tempory' break.

BTW the graphics are in GPL or whatever they need to be for the project.

the most important thing i did was "Automate" the generation of
Ground Sprites - including shores (hundreds of combinations)
Road Sprites, including hills, grassed and paved,
Rail Combinations, including hills
Vehicle Angles, including hilled/sloped angles
Building Angles (just 4 of these)

Please study those files in particular, they will save a LOT of work

here are some examples

Shores

Generated ground sprites.. (without shores, and with errors in joining to other sprites which have since been fixed)

tracks hills have been added since. fully automatic intersection generation based on the top 4 or 5 unqiue track components

roads with grass, without grass, with lamposts, with trees, with flowers.... all the same file, with different layers turned on/off.

I too am downloading your 7z file..
Your skill and knowledge will be missed.
Hope you can return someday, or at least keep checking the forums, giving advice.

Hope you will be happy with your new job, may I ask what the job is?

Is Raven interested in doing graphics for OpenTTD, or just Simutrans?

Alltaken, how's the fridge you designed? I remember I participated in survey concerning the fridge and I'm curious about its status

Yes i still need to email the results to everyone that participated in my work.

The thing cost me $3000 to make.
