I made lumbermill today... it is only preview. Any comments?

sorry for double post...

looks awsome.

Don't be sorry, with posts like this, I wouldn't mind you quadruple posting. Simply magnificent !

It is awesome.

Also, the Power station has some *.blend files, I will try search them.

I can try code the mail trucks, but now I'm with the Wotan signals.

It could be interesting a new page in the wiki with a coding tracker. It could have these states:
-Ready for coding
-WIP
-Coded, but not tested
-Can't be coded without new GRF.
-Uncomplete (needs construction stages)
-Needs fixes

If a TAR file is coded, It can be deleted from this tracker.

I will try to code them

I'm new at this. Your previous post of coal, grain, goods and tanker trucks are coded. But somehow I can't get the mask file to work
I've imported the pallet of a png-mask file which works and copied the color from that to the new mak-files. But it seems I'm doing something wrong.
Can anyone help me with the mask files?
As I understand it, the mask-file don't need x and y-offsets, because they take it from the original sprite, right?

Any help is welcome.

Here are the codes truck from CryingCorvus, not the mail truck.
As sad, the mask-files are there, but don't work

[EDIT]
Deleted files, see a few posts down for updated versions

The problem is that the name of the file must be "3327_z0m.png" and You have "3327m_z0.png". I will fix it, but ¡Thanks for your work!

When I finish the Wotan signals, I will code the new saw mill.

Here are the station sprites for maquinista to play with. The cut-up in blender was a mission. No masks yet. I rendered the 2x1 station without glass in the roof as the saved png's aren't transparent under the glass. Any ideas?

Hey-hey, nice mail trucks, CryingCorvus. The envelope on the blue one might be nicer facing the other way?

Wacki...great work on the lumbermill.

Ah, thanks. Not that they work though I get white boxes everywhere.


Here are the CryingCorvus mailtrucks. Maybe maquinista could take a look at the mask files here too.

Your mask files seem to have only 2 colours, and the mask is drawn with index 1 (the blue colour). For company colours, the index in the palette must be in the range 196-203. And transparency must be applied. Easiest way would be to copy the mask file of a working set, and then draw or copy /paste your mask

Ok now anyone could do this its just "copy and paste" job.
my next one will be made that way

But in photoshop I got full Colour table not only 2 ;] and transparency

Thats the way I did it. But it seems Paint.Net does not respect pallets Thats where I got wrong.

I've used Paint Shop Pro now, imported the pallet and used the color indexes from the wiki, and it works. Unfortunately I've an illegal version of PSP and would like to use open source programs. But it seems I can't for creating mask files

I'm no fan of Gimp, to cluttered and too many resources used on my PC when I tried it, never used it since.


I'll post my updated files when I've updated all the mask files. You've to just a while longer

[EDIT]
I've updated the mask files. So they sould work now (they do with me )
I've also deleted the files from my previous posts, since they are now obsolete

I try to made a forest... but I don't know, how it will look in game...

Ok I'v finished third Oil tanker and send here, hope it looks good enought to code. I updated old tanker to more saturaded one, 'Habell' You can update it if you want. I think, perhaps I will send all the rest by types.

The models look great, Corvus.
I wouldn't mind seeing a more weathered version, but I feel like that for most of the vehicles.

Ok, I'll see what I can do

[EDIT]
I've coded the tanker trucks.
The color are much better now, thanks CryingCorvus for adjusting this

Again, the trucks look great!
Wacki, I like your forest. I'm sure it will look good ingame. Remember the growing stages also.

Hmm, if that's a screenshot (and not copy-pasting of the PNGs onto a background from the game), then the trucks don't all seem to be aligned the same/correctly.

The trucks look am-a-zing though!

update... but I am not sure, that looks good in game??? Please any comments, because I would not like to make growing stages for nothing.

The sprites aren't the same width either, it's the best I can do without a proper tool for it. I made the alignment by site.

I've tried another alignment tool , but it didn't work as well.
