32bit Extra Zoom Graphics Works In Progress

[Jupix]

I've been working on adapting the existing grass from temperate to the desert climate.

They all are just color corrections of existing sprites.

If anyone is interested. See attachment

Hey, cool. Can you also make those into standard zoom level?

[Arathorn]

I like it, but it could use a little more texture detail.

[CommanderZ]

They are perfect!

One thing is missing: transition sand/grass.

[maquinista]

Is very good, I think that It needs a metal surface on the corner.

I have modified a bit some 32 bbp models because it looks a bit buried. I have raised it two pixels and I think that It looks better now. Also, I have renamed the file "1499-1500.tar" to "BerberJesus_Temperate_houses_preview.tar".

Also, I have coded a the base of the fountain and the horse statue.

This is the other updated TAR file, and a screenshot:

@Brupje: nice tower Better textures would make it even nicer. Also the windows at the corner should have depth.

I see that my office block is too big scaled, I'll try to change that. Also it seems the mask files doesn't work, I'll fix that too.

Can somebody give me the camera coordinates? (X, Y, Z, Elevation, focal angel...)

Ummm, isn't the scale of those offices quite a long way off?

[habell]

They are perfect!

One thing is missing: transition sand/grass.

True, but I'm no artist, I can just code the png-files en re-color them.

So if someone is willing to make the transition sprites, I'm happy to code them.

My 23bpp game is looking more en more like it should.
I've added a screenhot from my game.

[CommanderZ]

There are some houses I haven't seen in 32bpp yet (the larger ones). Where did you get them? They are from the russian 32bpp site?

[Zephyris]

One of those office blocks is mine...

One of those office blocks is mine...

What is It?

I think that some models of the screenshot are completed, and can be coded. Others, only needs better textures (they are too dark or too bright).

The statue (and the fountain) can be rendered without floor (only the shadow) and the correct lighting, and It will be completed.

[Zephyris]

The big old looking one one which is too dark... I have a zip of all my .blends but its too big to upload (22mb!)

[Teemes]

Whoa, what happened here? More than one new page overnight, and full of great new graphics!

I have seen that You have the gray asphalt. The road crossings (with Wotans signals) was created with bluish asphalt that I use (I prefer it, and the TAR file has tunnels). I have created more sprites for the crossings, with gray asphalt.

Hmm, now you mention it, yeah, those two road pieces DO look different. Thanks for making the new tar. And generally a big thanks to you for doing all the coding stuff. The jubilee.grf is appreciated, too!

that train is awsome and cute.

But i think that some textureign can make it look better.
it seems too bright next to the carrages.

Thanks. I'm afraid it suffers from 6.25m cuteness, a condition which is at the moment uncurable without switching to the v10 patch. Here's a picture of his older and unaffected brother. (Also pictured is the still unfinished tender, which I will release eventually as a .tar/.grf combination. Hope I can manage the coding myself, otherwise I'll ask maquinista

The colours are indeed a bit to bright. I made some changes, increased the alpha of the dirt texture and tweaked the HSV values to better match your and ben_robbins' models. While it definitely makes the engine look less cartoonish, it distorts the company colour -which, by the way is red- quite a bit. For comparison, the Pannier Tank using the old colour setup is set below. If you look closely, you'll find that the colour of the passenger carriages looks brownish too, while that is far less visible because of the smaller area that company colour is applied to.

So what do you guys think? Do you like the old or the new setup better? Or should I aim for something in between?

[athanasios]

Quite a progress!

Please, as already spotted, keep similar scale and give depth to the windows of the buildings.

[Varivar]

I've scaled my office block down, to make it fit with the other buildings. here is the new (and final) version, including mask files and construction stages.

[maquinista]

I have coded it:

[maquinista]

I have coded the road crossings for tropical climate. There is two files with different asphalt surfaces. Also, I left a TAR/GZ file with the ground sprites without barriers. This file is not for users, but It can be useful in the future.

[maquinista]

This files was published by Habell, but I splitted it in 3 parts. Also, I have added road sprites with bluish asphalt:

Thanks for coding all those sprites, Maquinista ,my 32bit game looks much better now!

-edit- I added Habell's tropical grass sprites to this page
