Indeed, incredible fast

And I'll code your other stations too, the other station projects I'm working on are quite idle ATM so I have plenty time now .

These are really good news

I'm sure this will be one of my favourite station sets.

Btw. do you have any future plans for more (german) stations already, Red*Star?

That would be /really/ great

. Maybe that incites me to do one or two more modern stations...

See above

You've waited one year for that now, so I can't imagine that it would be /so/ hard if there are one or two months more to wait

. But because I've got a coder now it is very likely that it's done soon.

I finished the basic coding, now I have some cleaning up to do, and after that the testing will begin.

Here are some screenshots, and as you can see the shading is way better than in the mockups

.

Great

I'm looking forward to play/test with it.

Can i be the first to ask if i can beta-test?

m4rek · Post by **m4rek** » 28 Feb 2007 18:42

nope, but you can be the first to ask quite so bluntly...

XeryusTC · Post by **XeryusTC** » 28 Feb 2007 19:21

I have a small list of testers atm, and I'm not telling who is on it because I need confirmation from Red*Star (see your email) first. After that the testers will get a PM or an email with the necessary files.

Red*Star · Post by **Red*Star** » 28 Feb 2007 19:50

Testers are ok.

Ameecher · Post by **Ameecher** » 28 Feb 2007 19:58

I said this on IRC but I also need to say it here, you two make a good and you have brought a great creation into the community (well, almost

). Well done.

All testers should have the archive by now I guess, and there is also a hotfix out already (testers should contact me if they haven't got it yet).

SkeedR · Post by **SkeedR** » 01 Mar 2007 17:48

what does this "Hotfix" do?

DaleStan · Post by **DaleStan** » 01 Mar 2007 18:01

Fixes something, I assume. If you're not a tester, you don't care, and if you are, why are you asking in public about a private release?

I've also tested it on OTTD (v0.5.0, Release Candidate 5). Construction doesn't work exactly as it should, but if you've constructed it right, it looks like in TTD. (I don't have actually tested to let trains run through it, though...)

It fixed a construction issue in TTDP. I assumed TTDP redraws all tiles when you build additional tiles next to the already existing tiles like OTTD does. It however doesn't and I had to change the building method to fix this. This change of building method means that OTTD doesn't work correctly anymore because it has no "+7" button.
The reason why I did it this way was because I coded the main part of the station using OTTD, it reloads all GRFs when you load a savegame. This is very helpfull when you are aligning sprites because you don't have too restart the application everytime.

Red*Star: did I actually send you any files? I think I might have forgot to do that when I sent it to the testers

.

Ah bugger, I think I'm too late to test these great stations

It sure looks nice Red*Star!

In patch, you don't even have to reload the save. Just beat on the GRF author helper window.
