Rotatable Camera View

[Snowdog]

RCT had most (or all) graphics painted from four sides, so it allowed rotation.

Have you played pharaoh ? most buildings ( such as bazaars, firehouses, normall residential housing etcetc) only have 1 side painted, rotating the map has no change on their apprearance, couldn't the same be applied for openTDD? Eg. the textures the buildings use now, copied so they are also used when rotated, I don't care if buildings look the same, I'm interested in looking at rail networks etc from a different side ?

There are some buildings in TTD which could cause trouble - mostly hotels, industries and airports.

Btw, all non-square buildings and also some others HAD their angled graphic in pharaoh (temple complexes, riverside structures, palaces, monuments and some others).

You're right, I forgot that most buildings in ttd aren't perfect squares...

Oh well, some day .

Who says irregular buildings can't rotate in Simutrans?

that farm house isn't irregular its 2x2. irregular is when a building as a base that isn't square or rectangular.

Code: Select all

    Irregular           regular
    ┌─┬─┬─┐             ┌─┬─┬─┐
    ├─┼─┼─┘             ├─┼─┼─┤
    └─┴─┘               └─┴─┴─┘

Actually I pointed that fields, not the house, you

EDIT : Why people are verrrry lazy and rushed these days? Well, back on topic...

[XeryusTC]

It's because you said "building", not "fields".

Dammit. Should be careful next time.

The fields are different sprites which are 1*1 on their own, just like fields in OTTD.

it is good as it is, maybe in 32bpp version.
