Industries and Airports mainly. Those are the most important.
I want to say that i would love to see a generic tram set equivalent.

Hi Zephyris,
Any change to release 0.5 soon?
So many commits since 0.4, would love to try them out

Yeah, I think an 0.5 will come soon. My priority has been to get the 1x/Classic version done.
First is getting all sprites revisited at 1x. That's now essentially complete - it's just the train signals left to go. I also want to nail as many bugs as possible, and I think that's mostly done.
I also wanted to get GUI done to at least 2x. My suspicion was that a large chunk of people use the GUI at 2x, and the vast majority at <4x. That's borne out by the new survey results (https://97ff69aa.openttd-survey-web.pag ... .gui_scale): Of the 53.7% which aren't using auto-scaling, 65.4% use 1.00-1.75x and 34.3% use 2.00-3.75x. 0.2% use 4x or higher.
That included the getting the 2x and 4x sprite fonts made - which is why I've been messing around with TTFs (https://github.com/zephyris/openttd-ttf).
I think that's all done... So 0.5 very soon!

Wow nice Fonts! Using now!
BTW my settings with a 4k 55' OLED TV are 4x Interface size + bigger main toolbar + Cursor/Gui Replacer with both checked on settings (+1.5x toolbar). That way toolbar and icons work without borders (some interface size icons get too small with half size only borders.
Could use a little less Interface Size, but it gives border on icons... so I keep on 4x. Windows at 275% scale... I play ~2m away so I need a little bigger screen.
Fonts are all sharp, ogfx2 too!

I'm not sure what all of that means! Can you post a screenshot and a list of gui grfs?
Re: OpenGFX2
Posted: 19 Jan 2024 09:35
Man, how much I want 1.5x GUI but 1x for text. I really should look into how UI scale works in 13.

I am not sure I realised just how muted the original and venerable OpenGFX graphics were until I started using this vibrant set. The colours really pop and its renewed my interest in the game! (Also kudos for the very understated release of the 'Full English' set).
I still play in the original zoom settings so that all my graphics look the same... for now. I had a couple of small observations to share.

- Would it be possible to have a parameter that allows the player to use the original water graphics? I do like the new water it's just my favourite objects sets still use the older style.
- Is the problem in the gif below to do with OpenGFX2, road/rail set or the vehicle sets I am using? See how it flickers as it drives through the back of the tunnel.

- This is more of a wishlist thought... but the image below got me thinking... what about an object set that contains tiles like this? Possibly some additional black textured tiles (thinking of eye candy open cast mines). I have started poking around with NML so maybe I could give it a crack using the graphics from your github myself.

It's a problem with the tunnel graphics, but almost every road and rail set has this problem as well trying to replace those graphics.

To me it seems more like the alignment of the trains are wrong, causing them to be visible behind the tunnel graphics.

Look closely, just before the road vehicles start to come out of the tunnel - there's a frame or two with the flickering from "inside" the tunnel.Brickblock1 wrote: ↑20 Mar 2024 09:29 To me it seems more like the alignment of the trains are wrong, causing them to be visible behind the tunnel graphics.
I would trust kamnet here - there's a LOT that he knows in relation to GRF's as he's been around OpenTTD and these forums for many years.

I am not able to find this flickering, I only find three stray pixels coming from the bus that has graohics which are too big, It would also not be something OpenGFX2 could do anything about as the tunnel sprites are provided by U&RaTT.skc wrote: ↑20 Mar 2024 14:14 Look closely, just before the road vehicles start to come out of the tunnel - there's a frame or two with the flickering from "inside" the tunnel.

I did also test the train tunnels and found that they don't have this issue with trains that keep their graphics inside the bounding box. It worked without issue when I tried the vanilla trains. A tunnel set could try to stop this from happening but that would mean overlapping the tile behind the tunnel which wouldn't be desired as it would look bad if that tile wasn't grass.

According to Twitter, Zephyris is now busy with his new position (job). This job is research-related, thus much free time is not expected.
Real life stuff always comes first.
Congrats, though.
