2CC Ship Set (Former North American Ship Set) - *Relaunched*

[Ammler]

OMG, times of font tags are gone since around 5 years...

Use XHTML and CSS2, would be much easier to maintain...

Perhaps it's time for me to learn standard HTML, got a link to that W3C validator?

Hi Purno,

I've just put my TT site online at http://www.tt-foundry.com/ if you need an example of a simple XHTML + CSS site.

(My site actually fails validation with 3 errors, but they are minor and caused by the content management system I'm using including <ul> tags even where there's nothing to put in them)

PM me if you need any tips.

cheers,

Andy

[Purno]

I managed to get no errors.

I learned HTML at high school 10 years ago, and never got any other course of webscripting. I never did any XHTML or CSS2, and I can't manage to understand it, especially since my HTML seems to work fine...

I've been playing around more with the sprites created by lead@inbox. I was interested in trying to create a coaster of around 200t capacity, similar to these, only a bit more modern.

I wanted to create something roughly in scale with Industrial Station sprites (maybe 25% smaller because ship scales are generally smaller). I made lots of tweaks, but the key change is the windows. Comments?

Looks better but I feel the bow is too pointed but the old one is too rounded, a good middle ground would be ideal.

[athanasios]

And good idea. We can have better scale and realistic vessels for the cargo ships carry in game.

[Zephyris]

Loving the progress! Can I make a couple of requests for passenger ferries? Fast (but cheaper to run than hovercraft) ferries like seacat or hydrofoils would be great!

[DJ Nekkid]

could also have two different sprites for hydrofoils, one running "up" and one loading "down"

[lead@inbox]

Andy - it's nice ship, i like it more then pr3.08 - i think you move in right direction and you could make a family of vessels on this base (pr3.08)
suggest - may be like this?

I like your site design. May be we can use it for ships?

[lead@inbox]

3 stages - empty/half/full - 7 cargo types - ready for coding
to do: add liquid, general cargo (probably crates) and vehicles - anyone can do it?

You'd be welcome to, but it's Purno's decision (Purno I won't be offended at all if you prefer yours).

cheers,

Gah, I hate that. First they ask me to make their website, and then suddenly they see another one and say "hey lets use that one instead". If you want to pick his design (which isn't unique) I'll retreat as webmaster. If only because his website is coded in a language I do not know and thus cannot update.

In what way is the 2cc not working?

[DanMacK]

Honestly, I vote for Purno's version, he's offered to be webmaster and it's pretty much done, just needs to be uploaded.

It looks good, fits the 2cc set theme (Nothing against Andy's site), I say go with it.

One thing about the Coaster, the bow needs to be a bit more swept up, like the Generic cargo vessel.

[lead@inbox]

Sorry Purno i vote for your design too

[lead@inbox]

try it - it is just test

[Zephyris]

You need to set bit 1 of ship action0 property 17 to enable the second company colour. Ie. the action0 should be:

Code: Select all

    3 * 38	 00 02 0F 01 08 00 00 00 03 20 06 0F 09 01 0A 80 0B 3C 0C 02 0D C8 00 0F 80 10 04 11 E6 41 00 00 17 02

Will you be doing the final coding? I advise you use a cargo translation table and define refitting by cargo class to support newindustries.

i am a newbie in coding

Cheek! - but true

TBH I like the existing design, and hoped you'd stick with it. Your inline font tags cause me pain though

If you need any help then feel free to ask me, I don't have enough time to code the whole set (with GRVTS, openGFX and the heavy equipment :s ) but can help you with things like newindustry support... just pm me
