Opt for that left one, it's brilliant. I love it, I really do.

Also, the first webpage of the Swedish TTD Project can be found at http://users.tt-forums.net/sweproject/. It's not finished and you could go make a sexy banner to help me finishing it, as I haven't got the time to do so at this exact moment. Perhaps I'll get around to it tomorrow. Download links to here can be found but I'll be hosting downloads on that website soon. I'll also create a section called "Future Projects" and let people post suggestions!

Nice to see the website up and running, the idea of a "Future Projects" suggestion section is great. Thanks for your work on the website!

The front page needs a screenshot with Irwe's houses and my trains :-)

Otherwise it looks good, although I think the newgrf:s should have their name in the upper left, instead of the author names. The author names can be under the text in the right part, something like (although the word "Swedish" everywhere might be a bit redundant):

And honestly, shouldn't the pages be available in Swedish too?

Might look a bit better yes. If there is to much of the word Swedish everywhere maybe we could just remove it so Swedish houses only would be houses and Swedish trains would be trains etc (it's obvious that they are swedish and not hungarian houses and trains).

That would be great, a little swedish flag and a text following: In Swedish or something similair. I could talk to Chrill about these suggestions.

While a flag would work for a language like Swedish, it doesn't work for the link back to the English version.

I'll get around to these suggestions for sure. The layout of the list of GRFs will be my first deal. Surely, we need not name them "Swedish Houses". Houses should be enough. We all know it's Swedish.

We'd have the following in the future:
Houses
Infrastructure
Trains
Town Names
Road Vehicles

It's all Swedish, why keep the "Swedish" prefix?

EDIT: Got a slight update online now. Future Projects is there. You might have to hard refresh, however. Every single page. Sorreh.

BTW, what have you done to my trains?! They look crushed - parts of the roofs have completely wrong color or is missing. Is the picture really a screenshot from a game, or is it PhotoShop?

It's from the Swedish Trains I have got in my OpenTTD, run in OpenTTD 1.0.0 beta2 :P Swedish Trains by AI, version found in Bananas

EDIT: I tried it again with the same results, the mail train lacks roofs on that direction. Only in diagonal directions do they future a roof

I stared slowly on the busses and since the Swedish Road vehicles doesn't have it's own topic yet I'll just post it here. The Scania OmniCity is done in only 1 angle, the blue one is in CC and the red one is the actuall color of it used today around Stockholm.

I don't know if the shape and size match the "normal" size of busses but I looked at the SpriteSizes picture for help.

You need to see a lot more roof in the — view :D I made the same mistake when I started drawing RVs ;)

Some examples here: http://tt-foundry.com/sets/heavy_equipment

EDIT: Another tip - I always draw the / \ views first. They are normally the hardest, it's nice to get them out of the way...

As Andy says - more roof. Other than that they look good!

Here's the only finished Swedish bus I have - it is included in my Swedish trains set. I think this one is a bit too big (long) as it is an old bus. Your's look like a good length for modern buses.

I also have this unfinished, even older, bus, but it should definitely be shorter.

Anders,

the bus looks great! The older one should definitely be a bit shorter. What prototype are you basing it on?

Ok more roof I just saw it on some other vehicles. And I'll probably start with the / \ views first next time.

Thanks Anders! If this becomes a full set I indeed need more old busses since me and Chrill only have a few modern ones to draw.

You write English in a certain manner, i.e. the UK flag represent British English, or if you want to nitpick a tad more, you could use the flag of England.

Thanks! I'm not quite satisfied with it (and the coding, it 'jumps' at corners), but this snowy winter (and the rest of RealLife) hasn't left me much time to sit and draw anything at all.

It's called a Brockway. Links:

http://www.hillsand.nu/index.php?page=busstrafiken (where you can also see my other bus on a B/W photo)

and the full story how the bus was found, being part of a summer house(!), in 1987:

Speaking of pages in Swedish, I plan to begin work on the Swedish Projects website tomorrow. I've got a minor update design-wise and I'll also translate the website.

OK, I now know the reason for this - you should toggle the palette for the Swedish Trains, then they display correctly.

OTTD allows you to toggle the palette, try that.
