PM Oracle if you want to code it, if you hurry it'll make the next release.

Argh, I have more assignments this weekend. But after they're done, I wont have any school work to do for the next four weeks. But Ill have a 7:30 to 4pm job full time for that four weeks. But, no schoolwork, so I'll come home and collapse in my nice leather high-back computer chair sitting at my desk and code (And play TTD) like crazy.

Wel... I spent about six or seven hours straight finishing those assignments, so today, I did some coding.

Bear in mind, this is still Pre2, just reconstructed, and with some additional .grf's people might like

These are really good and Oskar's bus stop beside the open sided shelter really fits in.

Hmmm. I think Im going to go over those suburban/city sprites and ehm, 'trim the grass'. They dont look exactly right in that screenshot. On the shelters, there shouldnt be a green line, well, if it was grey it would look like it was just a ledge. Same with the other platforms when built on foundations.

Time to make the gardeners earn their keep I say.

Maybe my eyes are screen shot, but all looks good to me ...
Maybe carry over from al that green grass in the background?

No, the sprites themselves had grass drawn up the side of the brown walls, obviously to make it look as if the gardeners had all been sitting around taking smoko's all day. Well, they dont now.

Ill post a screenshot of one particularly nice looking station later.

So the ivy will be gone now?

What's wrong with ivy? I like ivy.

Actually, ivy was my word for it and I think it fits a suburban station, so if the green was a mistake, I think its excusable in this instance. Unfortunately Aegir thinks its grass that needs cutting. The koalas want him kept away from the eucalyptus trees.

That was sort of off/on topic. On topic, I like this latest edition. The dark industrial stations are typical of an industrial setting, and he's got me chomping at the bit for Corneleus' stuff. What do you think of Oskar's bus stop next to the station?

krtaylor · Post by **krtaylor** » 18 Apr 2005 02:15

Aegir, do you want me to post your latest files to the website, or leave that as it is?

Aegir · Post by **Aegir** » 18 Apr 2005 08:10

Leave as is, Im going to start work on pre3 shortly. When I finish this batch of stations (Probably by pre4), Ill do a full release.

You can upload them if you want, but remember to state that they are preview builds

a little note, buggy: the DOS version of Born Acorn's (?) freight station (with the loose platforms, you know) has a little glitch. the blue door on the building has the water thingie, so it's constantly flashing. i'll post a screenie sometime.

No need. Both versions have that. I deliberatly left it so that Born_Acorn would catch on and fix the sprites himself instead of me having to do it. I would of thought that he knew not to use those colors when drawing sprites.

Its all good. Ill probably fix them myself for Pre3

Fantastic as always i see

I found problem.
When i use "pgs-statsw.grf" with "pgsw2_881.grf" TTD always crash if i want to choose one of new stations included in "pgs-statsw.grf". Same problem occur using "pigsw.grf" with "pgs-statsw.grf", or using both "pigsw.grf" and "pgsw2_881.grf" with "pgs-statsw.grf".
If I disable "pgsw2_881.grf" and "pigsw.grf" i couldn't use new stations in "pgs-statsw.grf". Do you have idea where's the problem?

Its already been stated that you should only ever use one of the PGS files. In fact, Aegir got pissed off when someone asked about the same problem because he had stated to not use more than one of the files together a few pages back.
