Buoy graphics needed - asap
Hi people
we need a distinct graphics for a buoy in order to display it properly on canals (on both trunk and 0.5), and I rediscovered my non-existing aptitude for drawing. So if any of you artists would like to give it a go, it'd be most helpful.
Here's a real life example:
Thanks

I just got this idea, of splitting the one buoy into the normal green and red one. There is only one problem (no green flashlight availible).
Keep this just as suggestion.
The idea has to come out in the wash.

Somehow I have the feeling it would take more sprites than one...
I like the idea. Have some questions though.
Would it be for canals only, or also for open waters?
And how would it look like in the situation below?
Don't understand me wrong. I'd really like to see two rows of red/green buoys (even if they're 4 pixels large) instead of current ones. There just some problems we have to think about.

Not imperatively. The 1 sprite could be drawn with comany color and remaped in game, but that is not the good way. I thought about 2 sprites (one red, on green). They can be place by the code.Mchl wrote:Somehow I have the feeling it would take more sprites than one...
I thought abaout it too, but got to the point to say that ist not nessesary to code that. The ships would drive over it, like the situation is now. Except the code of ship movement would be adapted.Mchl wrote:Would it be for canals only, or also for open waters?
Agreed, that's what I said before.Mchl wrote:There just some problems we have to think about.

Nope, I just mentioned that there could be another solution than buoy's ON the water.Celestar wrote:I just somehow noticed that the German translation of "buoy" is wrong ...
Ok did some small work! Other color combinations are possible.Celestar wrote:... so a kind of centered buoy would be helpful there
My favorite is the red/green combination.
Attachted also a grf to test them in game. Switch through with 1st grf-parameter.

I read a bit about the signaling with the bouy's. It seems that the correct color should be white with vertical red stripes. These bouy's mark the middle of rivers in a curve. But this is really hard to draw.

I think the 2nd graphic is requested to differ the sea-buoy from the canal-buoy graphically. Same code diffrent graphics. Just for a better overview.michael blunck wrote:And that´s where the well-known "buoy" steps in. No need for another fictitious object ...

Celestar was asking for a buoy graphic to replace the current buoy graphic for both the 'sea' and canals. This as the original buoy sprite is drawn with the water around it, making it impossible to draw the canal edges without overdrawing the buoy (the buoy's flag would be overdrawn by the canal edge).
As quick fix the buoy graphic that is used in the menu is used, but that one has a black border around it making it look strange. Therefor we asked for a new buoy sprite.

Code: Select all
SPR_BUOY = 4076, //XXX this sucks, because it displays wrong stuff on canals

I drawed this buoy for my set but never used it.
I think i made other drawings somewhere...

This one is very nice, but unsuitable for current tile size. It is taller than a ship!
I suggest you keep it for when we will have 128x63 sized tiles or bigger.
