OpenGFX - Graphics Base Set

[Zephyris]

The actionA looks correct BUT the 3001 --> hex conversion needs to be in little endian:

3001 --> BB9 --> 0BB9 --> B9 0B

Are the glitchy graphics occurring with an actionA or action0/2/3 code?

You have to have 3001 in hex in little endian order... That makes BB9 -> 0B B9 -> B9 0B...Everything else seems to be ok

EDIT: Zephyris was faster..

action 1+2+3+0, in that order in the .nfo

[Zephyris]

Try it with actionA code, and can you post the action0/1/2/3 code?

Here's the new station GRF, now including the monorail station of which I posted a screenshot earlier today.

What's changed?
- Added the new monorail stations; small and large station in both directions.
- Updated railway station.
- > Made the colour of the benches lighter; looks better now IMO.
- > Changed small station house.
- > + Made building smaller so that here's more platform left for passengers to walk on.
- > + Changed colour to match stone arches of large railway station.

The monorail station will not be used for maglev, as I will make yet another station design for that rail type. I already have a nice idea, but I don't know if it will work out properly, because the roof is curved in both directions. But you'll see about that later.

Anyhoe, here's the .GRF:

EDIT:
There's an error in the monorail single track station building for the \ direction; no Company Colours are used in the roof. Please don't report this as an error, as this will be fixed in the next revision.

[Zephyris]

And a screenshot of them looking beautiful!

[Octopussy]

Beautiful Stations ! Nice work !

[LordAzamath]

hmm, ok very beautiful...Zephyris, dare to update first and second post?

[DJ Nekkid]

the action 1+2+3+0 ... the action 0 parameters are incorrect tho (wrong speed etc), but that should not matter afaik.

And when i tested with ActionA did it come out glitchy as well...

I attached the PCX-files. I even tried to split it up into 3 smaller ones just to try that. The "main" file will follow in the next post. There are some development scriblings around there, but that should not matter...

in one large file

[bubersson]

Once I had the same graphic glitch problem and I've solved it with resizing sprite to size divideable by 2 and it worked. But thats just stupid solution and there has to be another one

[LordAzamath]

I try to code it myself now, but I'll put you and DJNekkid to authors...

Zephyris, look at screenshot at my last post...look at rails..something is wrong with lightning there...

[Killer 11]

train_depot.png

Nah not gonna get that one it is somehow unfinished and very unprofessional looking. It could be the lack of clear lines that other gfx have.

Zephyris, look at screenshot at my last post...look at rails..something is wrong with lightning there...

Those sprites are not yet replaced, try to load it with the blank trg1r and most of them will be missing completely.

[Timitry]

Hi everyone!
I really love your graphics, look much cooler than the original ones...
About that train depot, if there are many in a row the points i circled are looking a bit ugly...

[richk67]

I now modified and coded this..

train_depot.png

My monitor is colour corrected for photography, and this train depot is very dark. Too much noise as well. Generally, the sprites are darker, but marginally.

The sawmill is perhaps too much like the original, and could be regarded as a derivative work.

Great work otherwise - I love the new arched stations.

[LordAzamath]

baahh...I knew somehow I can't draw.... So someone else can take on the depots. Thank you..

7of9, I just looked that you can't do actionA on wagon sprites for monorail or maglev because they share sprites...Or atleast you can't make them look like specifically for chimeara...

DJ Nekkid is me as well, im waiting for a nick-change I had seen way too much star trek at the time of the registration, and my superold nick at some other forums and such were kinda outdated

well, the wagons are made mainly for the "future" extension set with livery override for the passanger trains (maglev 4, monorail 2, SH125, tim and asiastar + perhaps some E/DMU's)

[Killer 11]

My monitor is colour corrected for photography...

My monitor is Sony CRT highj quality product with stunning contrast and colour quality and it says it isn't that dark at all it's just that it as you said uses too much noise, texturing is repetative AND has the lack of any clear lines.

[Nickman]

This is looking really great!
Some nice grf's have been made .

I would like to make a suggestion for the wiki:

Maybe it would be a good idea to upload the real graphics files (in png or wathever you guys use?) somwhere so they don't get lost in the progress?
Also, I think it would be better if you could provide download links on the wiki? Or is the plan to make one big .grf file when all is done?

Anyway, keep up the good work!!
