[OTTD] OpenGFX releases - Graphics Replacement Project

[cmoiromain]

There's a glitch on the picture you just posted. You can see the road through the shoe-house at the bottom of the screen.

[PaulC]

Found a bug in the gold mine: sprite #2240 (ogfx1_base) is a duplicate of #2239 when it should in fact be different.

EDIT: Just noticed that the same problem exists with sprites #2222 and #2226.

[planetmaker]

Thanks for the hint. Tomorrow's nightly of OpenGFX will have this fixed.

[normapomero]

I actually like these graphics more then the original TTD graphics. Thank you for updating and sharing tips, really helpful.

Sorry if this issue has been raised before, but the copper ore wagons look different from the outside when they are loaded:

[planetmaker]

It has not been reported. Thank you for bringing it to my attention. I added it to the todo for the next release.

The food processor building seems to be drawn as freestanding and doesn't look right when several are in a row, but the airplanes are greatly improved.

[AndersI]

May I suggest shading the river water a bit, so that slopes are recognizable?

[Zephyris]

May I suggest shading the river water a bit, so that slopes are recognizable?

I don't think that is at all possible when you are restricted to the water cycle colours... Unless you dither in some non-water cycle (i.e. normal) blue shades too.

[AndersI]

Didn't think about that

How many colors are there in the water cycle - 10? Perhaps one could get three (slightly different) shades by using [first 6], [middle 6], [last 6]? Or will that produce jerky animation?

[planetmaker]

OpenGFX 0.4.0

Also for Christmas there's a new version of OpenGFX which brings you improvements in quite some things:

- many improved and addition font characters for all font types thanks to PaulC
- fully snow and snow-transition aware docks thanks to Red*Star
- fully snow and snow-transition aware rivers and canals provided by ... myself
- monospaced font for ingame text file viewer (readme, changelog, license), thanks to Rubidium and PaulC
- improved food processing plant thanks to oberhuemer

As usual get it from the ingame content download or the DevZone. If you find glitches or bugs, please be so kind to tells us either here or in the bug tracker. And if you think this game should become better, please and by all means, draw (and code, if you want) improved sprites, this set is ongoing work. It certainly has potential for improvements, but it needs people taking up the challenge A full overview of who worked on what can be found here.

Wrong the fence of railway tracks align on diagonal view.

[FooBar]

That's impossible to fix. The same issue exists with the ttd graphics.

[Nite Owl]

The following is self explanatory. It was achieved using OpenGFX r890 and OpenTTD r23679.

Yes, thanks for the report, it's quite obvious. That bug is only in the nightly builds and not in the releases, though.

It sees to be caused by switching the palette of the baseset from windows to DOS - which NML seems to not carry out properly for the water indices.

EDIT: And fixed in r893. I forgot to change the palette info in the obg file; Fix is available in a few hours in the upcoming nightly.

OpenGFX 0.4.1

This is a small bug fix release which allows OpenGFX 0.4.1 to still work with OpenTTD 1.1.3 and earlier:

Code: Select all

- Fix: Correct a number of spelling and grammar errors in the readme

Thanks to orudge for correcting the readme thoroughly for language quirks.
