Looks awesome, can't wait for more ships. newships was a very good addition, but other vehicle sets are so far ahead, ships were left behind =(

these never got made, I think they would be a good addition to the set (if you can get permission).

Those freight ships look awesome now, Andy!

Nice work Andy!
Those ships getting lower when loaded?

andythenorth · Post by **andythenorth** » 23 Aug 2009 22:01

The attached FISH grf will get you completed Coasters in three fetching sizes:
- Large (for about 1,200 tonnes of just about any cargo - good luck finding that much in one place!)
- Medium (for about 870 tonnes)
- Small (for a mere 540 tonnes - practically pocket-sized)

There are no graphics for loaded or loading states (yet). The offsets are not adjusted, they will look wrong when changing direction. I reckon the coaster sprites sucked down about 15 hours of pushing pixels so far, I'll do the rest...later

Everything else in the grf is still boxes

Very nice ships. I really like your style.

coasters images in buy menu could do with tweaking (if possible)

Yep, I'll get to it. I'm planning to crop them - but how? If I just show the front or back, it won't easily show players which is bigger. Scaling them will look awful.

I'm thinking showing the front is consistent with the rest of OpenTTD. It's what I do with long vehicles in HEQS.

Or I could show the whole sprite and offset the text...maybe there *is* a valid use for the text offsets that I thought were crazy talk a while back.

What about this?

I just resize the original image to 66% size. It's still oversized in lenght, but if you cut the nose of the ship, the size will be correct to scale, and still have a difference between the small, medium and large coasters.

They start to look really nice, Andy! Good work.

I know that you're not done with the alignment, but here's the z-(or y-)offset of the coasters in the build menu:

Something which also struck me, when I compared the ship sizes with the warft: if the large ships go for servicing, they'll visually seem to vanish out of thin air as they're longer than it.

Updated FISH grf attached. Changes:
- buy menu alignment. FISH will use a wide space to show ships, with all the text consistently in line. This uses string control 01 (X offset) which seems dirty and I'm uncomfortable with it, but it was easy to do and works.
- sprite offsets for all eight angles on all three Coasters.
- Large River Boat (uncompleted)

Nice work Andy, keep it up!

But one little glitch: there is one pixel line in front of the ships in buy menu.

Should now be fixed.

I've finished River Boats in three attractive sizes: Small, Medium and Large.

grf attached for your FISHING pleasure. Oh, and some capacities changed on Coasters, River Boats and Tow Boats (to balance the set better).

Excellent work!

But I have some questions: Why are the ships have the same properties except the capacity? All of them were totally free and runs the same speed. As I remember You say, to modify properties is the easier part of grf making.
I don't want to hurt (?) You, it's just a question. Keep up the good work!
