[Big Project][32bpp] BrickLand Climate

[Wolf01]

ehm, nothing, i'm trying to improve my drawing techniques, so i'm doing other things
oh, i did the roadbits, but they are not ready for the public

heres a annoying bug

You'll need to be a little more descriptive about the differences between the observed and expected behaviours there.

[Zephyris]

I assume what is meant is the misalignment of all sloped terrain tiles and the misnaming of one of the road junction tiles.... Those are an old set of graphics which people didn't like, so got abandoned.

[Slye_Fox]

I could help out if you'd like

I got that LegoCAD program.

What sort of industries will there be?

Will they be "logo'ized" versions of the normal ones?

here's a roadbits preview

if you can copy my stile, i think yes

I got that LegoCAD program.

me too, and more than one

What sort of industries will there be?

Will they be "logo'ized" versions of the normal ones?

i thought to make a newindustries grf with my own industries, all plastic based, so no candy ones, but i need to think a lot about them

[Slye_Fox]

what about this?



It was in the other thread

[athanasios]

I think it needs some refining. Especially the recycle doesn't make sense.

[Wolf01]

road ramps done, i hope
so, if i'm not wrong, all the road tiles are done, but is only one stage of three, now i need to repaint all the roads on cleared soil and think about the pavements for the city roads

[Slye_Fox]

Why not use gray for pavements?
That's what's used on the normal base plates.

And I sugest just useing a animated blue version of the green tiles, like the 'water' base plates.

It will look more authentic.

Oh, about buildings, what size (in LDraw) is one tile, in 'nubs'?

I'm guessing 12x12 is is 1 tile, judgeing by the other topic where 6 'nubs' was used as the width of the trains, Which take up half the space on a tile.

[Wolf01]

with "thinking about the pavements" i mean to think the form of them, not the colour, should they be studless (studs not nubs ) with some decoration? should they be like the grassy green but gray instead? should they...

and you are running too much, now i'm drawing the landscape.. when it will be finished i'll think about vehicles and industries

[Slye_Fox]

you got a set of blank grass tiles?

i could try and to the rails

[FooBar]

now i need to repaint all the roads on cleared soil

There's no need for that. Such sprites don't exist in the original set of sprites, as the game automagically overlays it with some sort of brownish overlay.
I don't expect that to be different in 32bpp.

[DaleStan]

If memory serves, the automagic involves drawing through a recolor table. They work well for 8-bit, but the 48 MB required for a 24-bit recolor table (24 bits/color * 2^24 colors) gets to be a pretty major issue pretty quickly.

possably allow the .mng format for these animated tiles? (think its motion network graphics , like portable network graphics, but animation shop 3 just calls it "animation shop animation", also i know "allow" is a bad choice os words since it would neet to be programmed first.)

[Leviath.NL]

I cut and set offsets to the brickland tiles. (also the bare land tiles).

Some suggestions: I think the 3th bare land tiles (green land brown studs) will look better with brown ground and green studs.
As pavements I suggest studless gray without any decoration. they will look decorated enough with trees or lampposts on them.

edit: made the archive a tar that can be loaded without extracting. (put it in your data folder)

[bobingabout]

i agree, would look better with green studs on brown at that stage

[Wolf01]

i'll take 2 minutes to redraw it

Just look in one of the tars posted, you may want to keep the tails in a different layer because the ground tiles are still final I think
