Could you please elaborate on that? I normally use the standard lighting setup .blend file for rendering, it also has the right camera angles and distances. If you stick to the scale of 12,5m/tile//6,25m/vehicle, it gives renders that fit in nicely with the rest. But if you define standard offsets, you'd also have to define a standard height and width for vehicles, as slightly wider or higher vehicles would appear to be shifted right or downward.Zephyris wrote:Is there a standard vehicle rendering setup? If there isn't then it would be a good idea to make one (including the lighting, shadow plane and multiple view rendering for simplicity) and work out the offsets for that template.
I normally align vehicles by using a savegame file with 8 already aligned lorries of the same type parked in all 8 render angles. I take a screenshot. Then I rename the files of the new lorry to that previous lorry's ID, so the new, unaligned lorry shows up the the savegame. I take another screenshot and overlay both screenshots in GIMP. Now I can align the wheel positions of the new lorry to the position of the old lorry by measuring the distances and working out the offsets from there. I rename the files of the new lorry back to the proper IDs and apply the offsets.habell wrote:Is there a way to calculate the offsets more accurate then the way I do it now (just take a well educated guess)?
I had it, but I deleted it - some months ago... but it was not big, I think about 1MB?Cudar wrote:I wanted, for Atalantino, but don't lets. I think is too large file.
The trucks in (O)TT(D) are European. The entire game is UK centric really. Personally I don't think truck styles should be mixed and matched. A US truck set can be made at a later date.CryingCorvus wrote:ZxBiohazardZx some ideas for "american looking" trucks that fits????:]
I just make trucks as short as possible and never tought it has european look
Yep, that's my thinking too, and why I keep gently bringing this matter up from time to time. All this work is great but if it just stays on the makers HDD it'll be lost.Belgabor wrote:I think it is of utmost importance to have as many source files available as early as possible with a defined license. Too often people vanish on places on the internet for various reasons and leave promising work unfinished. Without source files available which can be used by successors, their work is for naught.
The last time I brought it up someone volunteered to create a site but I don't think anything came of it (that's what Zuu referenced I believe).The bus on the north east view look almost at the center of the road, why he drive so near of the white line ?=SLJ=DownEast wrote:Habell,
Alignment looks better, but the 'south east' coal truck may have been slighly over adjusted.
No. That is breach of copyright. Download grfcodec.exe, put it in the same folder as the .grfs, open a command prompt in that window and use the command "grfcodec -d -p 2 [grfname].grf". This will create a /sprites folder containing [grfname].pcx. You can open .pcx files with the gimp, paint.net with the pcx plugin, irfanview, or any other decent image editing program.Can someone post here trg1r.grf like *.png or *.jpg file... thanks! I need coal mine sprites now.
As long as the vehicle is centred on a standard point (ie. an extra wide vehicle should extend equal extra distances either side of this point) then the offsets would be standard, though would have to have extra transparent space round the edge of the sprite...Could you please elaborate on that?

I have got it!!! Thank you 
This is the layout:ZxBiohazardZx wrote:thats powerstation, he was asking for the mine
I like it better already. The 'old' one was really dark. Though yours is perhaps a bit too light. I guess that will all depend on the rest of the sprites.Wacki wrote:I start remodeling Slye_Fox's coal mine today... it is only preview, but I don't know, I don't content with it - maybe more dirt?

Yes I expect a coalmine to be very dirty.Wacki wrote:I start remodeling Slye_Fox's coal mine today... it is only preview, but I don't know, I don't content with it - maybe more dirt? Any ideas?
The Buildings ABOVE ground on coal mine arent that dirty at all, its the terrain thats blackish but the offices can be quite clean if you like (lemmy find a link...)MrFrans wrote:Yes I expect a coalmine to be very dirty.Wacki wrote:I start remodeling Slye_Fox's coal mine today... it is only preview, but I don't know, I don't content with it - maybe more dirt?
