Queen ... Somebody To Code ... erm ... Somebody To Love

Thank you everybody!

>Lakie: The platforms (on the left) have 3 different versions with 3 loading stages each. There are 2 platforms (back and front of tracks). Each version should appear randomly, just the same as the current container crates platforms.
Then, the full tiles (the sprites most to the right) have only 2 variations. Actually, combined with all the other elements that should be enough to make a station look nice! some people (hey wallyweb! ) are already showing neat configurations in the screenshots thread.

Can I be a reseller? I've got some extra display space on the counter in the commissary.

These items fit! Coooders, wheeere are you...

Dont worry, I got the tune... I was messing

Finally! I got ready the next batch of sprites...

This will mean a re-arrangement in the Industrial Renewal drop-menus as follows:

Main List:
Industrial: Fixtures
Industrial: Raw materials
Industrial: Processed cargo
Industrial: Facilities

I'll explain them:

Fixtures: whatever elements that form part of the station itself and the tools used in it:
- Platforms (low & high)
- Buffer stops (low & high; single & double)
- Ramps (northwards & sowthwards)
- Empty tile (low & high)
- Road vehicle access (fake: RVs can't actually get in)
- Road (fake)
- Road crossing (fake)
- Parking lot (fake)
- Crane on rails
- Overhead Crane
- Crane

Raw materials: any cargo that is the first in the production chain, usually materials taken from natural resources, or harvested.
(no changes from the previous version)

Processed cargo: any cargo that has been artificially produced using raw materials or other processed cargo.
- Containers
- Steel
- Copper
- Barrels
- Planks

Buildings: any building present in a station: warehouses, sheds, offices, headquarters, etc.
- Station buildings (high & low platform; 3 different versions for ~1949; 1950~1979; 1980~)
- Main station building (non track)
- Sheds
- Roofed storage area
- Storage building A
- Big warehouse A
- Tanks
- Small warehouses
- Big warehouse B
- Storage building B
- Big warehouse C
- Train sheds

But here are the sprites:
Please, krtaylor update them to the tracking list. And the list above could be useful too.

A suggestion for [pick one:future/eventual/immediate] consideration:

The conveyor belt in Raw Materials only faces in two directions.
Add the other directions.
I have situations where it would be [pick one or more:useful/convenient/realistic] in the two missing directions.

possible responses [pick one]:
a) its done
b) its a work in progress
c) its on the todo list
d) thinking about it
e) get stuffed

Sanchimaru, you are making it Impossible to wait patiently for the entire set to be completed!!!
Amazing graphics!!!!

C/ it is indeed needed to be done, I have found myself willing to have one of those too

>blitzkrieg: thanks! actually most of the new buildings you can see there are the work of Zimmlock. I only retouched them a bit to addapt them to the Industrial Renewal.
Oh, by the way, can you remove the quote from your post? normally I wouldn't care, but since it doesn't point anything specifically and it's so long, that will make the thread easier to read thank you

Wow! Awesome work Sanchimaru!

OK, I've updated it. I'm more than a little behind, so I may have missed things or botched them up. Please note what changes are still needed.

The task was easier than I thought...

Well, images are better than words, take a look at the new version of the mines sprites, and tell me if you find something new

Also, I added a new element to the fixtures: the water tower. This was originally found in Born Acorn's industrial set.

Ah yes ... now I'll be able to get to work on that coal pile on the other side of the tracks.

Sorry. Sanchi, but I would almost definitely have told him e)

Get a shovel Dave. Until Sanchi gets those new conveyors coded there's coal to move across the tracks and you've been assigned to the task.

Ha ha ha!

Thanks for watertower and port graphics!

Those are proper good quality, Sanchi. Nice to see the set has progressed so far. Pity about the lack of coder, i'd volunteer myself, but my own projects are running far enough behind schedule .
