32Bpp Graphics Pack (13/03/2010)

[32Bpp-Pack]

i belive an update is in order i'll gather all the files upuntill tommorow and upload them.

[32Bpp-Pack]

I would prefer none compress format, simple pngs in a tar...

thats not really an option for the full pack as i need to pack more than one tar togther.
i think i'll use zip for this one, i belive its will be ceptable to linux/windows users alike

as for the one file base set, lets revert to the the simple self extractable file to avoid the problems that was observed before.

[maquinista]

I have updated the file with bridges and I have coded the papermill.

extract the base set to your [game folder]\data\
extract the additional set to your [game folder]\data\ <- those are activated like all grfs in the game.

* if you DL the No lines Pack, it comes without a newGRF so you have to replace the Tars from the FullPack with the same name with those.

here is a youtube videos featuring how to use Rapidshare service or Netload service to help you.
also note its free hosting and thus its some times has download limits, this why you have been provided with multiple sources for the same file.

[32Bpp-Pack]

ok here the links to the new version, this time its:

Baseset.exe (91GB) - rapidshare, megaupload, netload

Fullpack.zip (105GB) - rapidshare, megaupload, netload

both has the same content, the first is all in one TAR file, self extractable file.


---------------------------------------------------

all the latest 'neob(mor)' files are included, he said that he over extended his stay on the forum for to long and will be leaving it/the project.
according to him those are the latest most up to date version of the base set files there is and should be used for later updates.

most of them has already been uploaded to the repo and their entry's updated on the wiki.
for further use when updating on the repo please keep the same convention's (top level for base sets, categories for sources/single works, the newly formed naming convention the desc and even the file names)

while everyone can update the files, its suggested that one person will take the job on himself, so it will work smoothly.

[GeekToo]

Thanks a lot for the update.

Seems to work fine for me: a small note for those that downloaded the zip file (I don't know about the exe):
after unzipping, also unzip the 32bpp-extra zip file, and activate the 32bpp-extra newgrf, and your coast tiles and catenary etc should be fine.

ok here the links to the new version, this time its:

Baseset.exe (91GB) - rapidshare, megaupload, netload

Fullpack.zip (105GB) - rapidshare, megaupload, netload

...

Euhm, that looks scary; 'GB'. But following one of the links shows it's Megabytes after all.

the fact that it's hosted with such crappy services (i.e. rapidshare) makes me not even want to try.... if you need some decent space, why not ask tt-forums (i.e. owen rudge) to give you a user space, or ask someone like openttdcoop or me! there are enough people who would probably help out, but rapidshare and the likes ... waiting up to 70 seconds just so a download can start? i cancel before the download even started!

I prefer to use these "crappy" services, and reduce the traffic usage of tt-forums servers. These traffic cost money, and I prefer keep the costs low. These services have a wait and adds... but They are free.

i have about 3TB/month spare....

[GeekToo]

I agree with both of you. I fact I already started moving into that direction (away from the "crappy" downloads, free hosting, and relief some of the download pressure from tt-forums and jupix server). See: http://dev.openttdcoop.org/projects/32bpp-extra

For now it is only for the "extra" grf, to solve the graphical issues with coast tiles etc, but it can be extended with the 32bpp pngs for the other base-grfs (in fact, that is the end goal I envision, but I want to take one step at a time). And when the 32bpp pool grows, a mirror on eg. Dihedrals server would be very welcome, both reliability wise (a crash or 404 on one of the servers wouldnt be fatal), as bandwidth wise, splitting the bandwidth between openttdcoop and dihedral a bit (perhaps combined with torrents). 32bpp megapacks have the tendency to become rather big, esp. for extra zoom levels.

[Jupix]

Yeah, interesting piece of trivia: the previous megapack (not extra-zooms compliant) was about 3 MBs in size.

[Hakker]

Dunno exactly where to put the bug with openttd32 extra zoom (kinda get the idea that it lacks a bug hunting section for that version) but scrolling upwards in max zoom still has some issues it works but still not like you would expect. It is a whole lot better the last time I checked the 32bit extra zoom version though.

Is there any possibilty to get patched binaries compiled for Linux?
If anyone has done for Debian, I'll send you a beer

[City Builder]

First off thanks for this version. I only wish that more people would actually use it online, I've seen one or two servers popup from time to time but... anyway...

Question:
Maybe this has been answered in the previous 8 pages of dialog, if so my apologies for asking again....
Is there a way to make it so that only the newer graphic buildings show up in the game? I do realize that there is not a replacement for every type of building in the game (not yet anyway) but just wondering if there is a way to make it so that only the new 32bpp graphic buildings show up in the cities (not the industries, as I think I'd lose too much if the industries that don't have newer graphics were to not show up where as if some buildings in the cities don't show up because there isn't a replacement, it doesn't seem like a big deal for me to imagine they are there)?

Thanks again for this 32Bpp version, I really love the extra zoom levels and the clarity of the graphics that have been changed out, in my opinion it really adds to the game.

Personally, I'd rather see my entire cities filled with Just a couple buildings in high quality like this (and have them repeat over and over again or have gaping holes where buildings should be):

this.png (221.7 KiB) Viewed 3816 times

Rather than see any of these buildings:

not_this.png (84.67 KiB) Viewed 3816 times

[Ben_Robbins_]

If you copy the sprites you want duplicated across the city, and change the name/numbers to the sprite numbers of the buildings you want replaced, then you will remove all resized original/openGFX sprites. It hasn't been done as far as I know, because it would be a bit side tracking.

[City Builder]

Thanks, I'll give that a go.
