32bit Extra Zoom Graphics Works In Progress

[maquinista]

This is the Total Bridge Renewal Set file with the bridge coded. Also, I have updated the wiki with the sprites of some bridges that can be modeled:

Hey guys,
In case you miss it I'd like to point you towards this thread where Jupix has put up a central repository for .blend files and textures so you don't have to trawl through 200 page threads any more:

http://www.tt-forums.net/viewtopic.php?f=36&t=42293

Please give it a try and use it for your own creations.

Thanks

This is a update with the new bridges. Now, I will try code the monorail tunnels, update the shopping mall, docks...

[maquinista]

This is the TAR file of monorail sprites, updated with the tunnels.

It's really good!

But I can't find the way to insert the tiles in the game? How I can do it?

Thanks.

Throw the TAR file into your DATA directory, and add the following lines to your OpenTTD.cfg file:
sprite_cache_size = 64
blitter = "32bpp-optimized"

With Ben_Robbins_ permission, I have repackaged and fixed some issues with the Temperate Lined Grass set. These TARs are meant to replace the Lines RARs found at http://www.tt-forums.net/viewtopic.php?p=658581#p658581

Very little modification was done to the sets, so not to break other terrain sets. All modifications are listed in the Readme in the next post, and in each TAR.

Try em out, let me know if there are any issues...

I have coded the printing woirks industry. I have used dithered mask files (This looks better if the sprite have a white CC). It haves also the water depot from the old version of the TAR file.

This is a update with the new bridges. Now, I will try code the monorail tunnels, update the shopping mall, docks...

Hmm, something seems wrong with the pillars. They're either too short, or positioned badly.

The problem is the same with 8 bpp bridges. I think that the bridges code (OpenTTD code) should be rewritten, because there are too many problems when the ground it not plain.
Also, It would be cool allow custom bridges layouts and more bridges.

[maquinista]

This is a updated version of the monorail tiles with the Z1 and Z0 zoom levels. It looks better.

[maquinista]

I have added a new bridge, but... It replaces the truss bridge. It would be interesting a new bridge set for 32 bpp.

[maquinista]

I have updated some TAR files.

[maquinista]

In the last screenshot there are a building in 8 bpp. This was because the latest version of OpenTTD moved a tropical house (and more sprites) to OpenTTDW.GRF file. I have updated the tar file with the houses.

@maquinista : your bridges look really nice.but i asked myself some questions?
how do you apply road in the model?is it an assembly or is it included in the blend file?
i didn't find in the blend.
i made an attempt of making bridges several weeks ago but i wasn't happy about the result.
i didn't apply shadows and texture correctly but it was the beginning.
i would like to continue on this way but i'm not sure about road texture.
this is the bridges i made at this time but don't be cruel (it was a test and for fun)

I model only the bridge pieces without the road surface.
It is a strange process, and It is not easy to explain...

First, I create a straight and plain road (6 tiles), and I take a screenshot. Then, I delete 4 tiles of the road and I dig the terrain, and I build a bridge, I take other screenshot of the same place, and I open a screenshot with GIMP and I paste there the other screenshot and the rendered sprites of the bridge. Then, I "build" a bridge with GIMP, using the GIMP tools.

I will upload some XCF files that I have used for creating bridges.

These bridges are nice.


Also, I have tried modify this house, to create a construction stage:


I will ask their author if He allows to include it with the other 32 BPP houses... or better, if He uploads the .blend file.

[maquinista]

I have split the monorail.tar file in two because It was too big.

Also, I have see the trees with fruits. They're awesome, and I think that They are ready. The ground tiles needs some changes, but they're good.

About the bridges:
They are very nice indeed, but can't you apply a semi transparent shadow to the underneath of bridge? I believe for sprites 842, 843, 1004/1005, 1704-1709 etc., , so they'd look a bit like this (just a mockup):
