i thoufht i would try and whip up a quick foot rail crossing so if anyone thinks its good ill finish the other view. Also how would you recomend drawing a corrigated surface in ttd.

hello again ive drawn the light and gate for the angle i posted about before. The one withe the foreground and background is how it should look in game if they ever get coded.

The light and barrier look a little over-scale...

ok so other than that are they fine.

Well, what practical application will this have in TTD? A waypoint, a station?

it is meant to go on the back of those realy rural stations like this one.

edit here are the sprites for the other direction by the way they need recolouring but im not shure how to because of theyre size. Jonty would you mind if my crossing went with your station as i dont. if so does anyone think my crossing is ready for coding.

Yeah sure, it's just the kind of thing rural stations have here in England
(Got the PM)

I'll have to finish those ramps soon...

ok thanx jonty. so when jonty has finished his station can this be coded with it please.

Just check in right sprite foot track. I think it's curved a little (or maybe it's my monitor distorsion?)

yeah its curved ill try and fix it but then that also makes it look a bit more iregular.

I see it too (I thought I was crazy when I saw it the first time). Thanks for having the guts to say something, or I would be checking myself in .

I think the main problem is the upper boundary of the path doesn't finish in the centre of the sprite. In this case, I would be starting at each end and working my way in - less margin for error .

Intereseting, This is exactly what i am working on in the Dutch station set as well!

Be aware that MB also created things like this...

here is a small building.

Not good, pay attention on front side.

If you mean foot crossings out in rural area's, through my memory and sights, they do not have moving barriers.
The ones i have been across are just an open/close gate, gate + a bell, or Gate+Bell + Lights.

I haven't actually seen one in rural area's with barriers before, but there could possibly be some around

here is the fixed up building. the reason that happened as because it started life as a tram and i thought it would look better as a house but i hadnt drawn a proper trm view either.
edit i tried makeing the roof look more pointed so tell me which you prefer.
edit 2 fixed roof
edit 3 construction stages aded
edit 4 posted fixed version of the crossing

Crossings are nice, but house is still bad IMO. Texture is somehow strange, maybe you used small amount of tones for texturing. And roof is at same level as walls, it should be pass over walls.

do you all think its bad if so can you please tell me what to improve on exactly.

would someone mind coding the roads from the last pic i posted of them so i can see exactly where they dont meet. I also udated the mail wagon i left the pax door on the end.

Wheels could be 1 pix vertical shorter.
