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!!

Check the first post before you post...

I did check the first post, and it sais nothing about my questions/suggestions about the wiki page...

FooBar · Post by **FooBar** » 06 Jan 2008 18:27

Well, links to download locations are actually in the wiki already. Just click the number after each entry and it will take you to the location.

And that means that the real graphics are already uploaded somewhere: they're inside the grf files and easy to get out of it. I was not planning on uploading my working file somewhere. That's a complete mess, and probably not useful to anyone...

There is a link to wiki..In wiki there is table. In that table there is a tab -> link...Under that, you see something like this [7] or sth... click it and be impressed..

7of9...I tried it out and it seems you are right

..I post the grf here so maybe someone can test it on TTDPatch...If thee it's ok, then it's time for another bug-report..And if it IS a bug, it seems to be very old..I downloaded an ancient nightly (r8396) to test it but the problem stayed...

EDIT: and for guys who demand another screenshot or don't know what I'm talking about..

EDIT2. Removed GRF because there could be guys who start asking why this isn't listed in the second post.

Please post (a link to) the original PCX file used for the first encoding; it may have been malformed.

In any case, GRFCodec did not like it. Massage it through The GIMP, or ensure its width is a multiple of 4.

LordAzamath · Post by **LordAzamath** » 06 Jan 2008 19:04

Yes, thanks DaleStan.. I made it to be 80*400 and all problems were gone.. So 7of9, I won't be coding it again

I would need to put the offsets right.. Just make sure your dimensions are multiple of 4.

the original is about 10 posts back

but ill try to use the mutiple-of-4 thing

edit;

one file was 319 tiles wide, when i made it 320 the problem were gone

edit again; here is a grf with the maglev. The engine is Action A'ed, and the wagons are Action 1+2+3+0 since they are shared with monorail.

Screenie on how it looks in the terrain as well

But; is it just me, or are there a slight "wierd" artifact on the grasstiles where i've circled it out?

But those wagons..do they refit for chimeara only? because still other lev trains use that wagon..hmm gonna try that out.

EDIT: And for naming convention I would suggest OpenGFX_-_newTrains_-_maglev_v0.1.grf

EDIT: I think you should make other maglevs then too

...and wagons

DJ Nekkid · Post by **DJ Nekkid** » 06 Jan 2008 20:21

edited to fit a "proper" name, and no, atm all maglev trains use the sprites for pax+mail+armor

it's temporary or something anyway. Atleast until something else is drawn and coded.

Perhaps I should draw a general pax/mail/armored wagon next

LordAzamath · Post by **LordAzamath** » 06 Jan 2008 20:43

You can draw white wagons too...And make other maglevs somewhat white...or atleast ending with white and stripe...

BTW, what's the difference in armored and post wagons?

DJ Nekkid · Post by **DJ Nekkid** » 06 Jan 2008 20:51

graphicly, nothing...

FooBar · Post by **FooBar** » 06 Jan 2008 21:04

And now for something completely different. Maglev stations! Try to spot a straight line in those roofs

DJ Nekkid · Post by **DJ Nekkid** » 06 Jan 2008 21:10

put a chimera under thoose and see if it fits

LordAzamath · Post by **LordAzamath** » 06 Jan 2008 21:31

Athanasios..you should update toyland road depot..It has grfID LA13 (13th grf by me, LordAzamath), but this is reserved for Ship Depot...generally a good idea is to make it unique, for you maybe AP (Arthur Pallas) or AT (Athanasios) (and the number..)..Like AT45..Just decode the grf and replace LA13 with your unique ID

..PS. Don't add spaces there, it has to be w/o spaces.
And newRoadDepots released by you have ID LA13 too...Not good..If you want to use my ID then LA11 is avilable...

EDIT: And Zephyris your latest Toyland terrain shares GrfID with your latest OpenIndustries release...
EDIT: I just looked through it..Your latest newinfrastructure was v0.1 ? I can't find the next one...

Like this? Seems to fit just nicely

Why are you teasing us?

Release it!!!

We need it..Urgently

Actually too..

No can do. Other direction is not completely finished yet. And then there's this ugly stuff that happens when you remove one track from a double track station. That needs to be fixed first, because the next GRF will get my 'mark of approval' i.e. it get's a somewhat 'final' status.

Re: richk67
How are you defining a derivative work? Do you mean "drawing the same object"? How much copyright can be claimed of a four walled shed with a ridge roof?

Re: lordazamath
The toyland terrain GRFID clash doesn't matter as newTerrain v0.3 includes all those sprites... And newInfrastructure v0.1 is the latest release, I will release a new one with the complete rail/monorail/maglev/road stations and depots. I think it is a good idea to amalgamate grfs for releases like this for simple distribution of complete graphics sets.

Re: FooBar
Again, really beautiful stuff!
Bugs I have noticed:
Monorail "\" (NW ---> SE) orientation single square wide station doesn't have company colour.
Removing one track from a double rail station doesn't look good, but I assume you know this one!

Ben_K · Post by **Ben_K** » 06 Jan 2008 23:47

Awesome work Gents. Foobar, Im liking the new stations. I especially love the Maglev one!
7of9, super work on the Maglev!

Roujin · Post by **Roujin** » 07 Jan 2008 01:35

These stations look awesome

Maybe the maglev one could use a bit more cc (it has so few compared to the other two...) but other than that, mighty awesome
