[Developing]Finnish Set, Taster Released

Website · Post by **Lakie** » 11 May 2005 17:33

Did I miss something?
Last I heard Akalamanaia refused to do anything but beta test the set...

As for the website, I guess I never had the time to finish it.
I'll have a look at fixing / changing it sometime, after my exams.

Which leads me to another point, I would like to make another release sometime.
But I'll talk with the other set developers first about it.

I take it Akalamanaia is still leader since no-one else cannot lead the set yet.

~ Lakie

Well you said that.

Website · Post by **Lakie** » 11 May 2005 17:56

Well, yeah.

But you don't actually lead the set currently, so I guess I'm going to have to contradict myself.
So the Set's leader-less but it doesn't really matter at the moment.
I'm sure the leadership of the set can wait until after my exams.

Just for you

Trying to forcefeed your scale to everyone will not work, if the user does not want to use it, he will not use it. Now stop argumenting, you make the thread look like a goddamned playground.

I do not ask users to use or not to use it. It is up to them to select new or old graphics. But I'm speaking to graphics artists. I want them to understand, that playing "swan, crawfish and pike" (it means that everyone trys to do the same thing in a different way) is a very bad idea. It is especially bad for the user, whom you make to make a choise between different standarts, instead of simple enjoying the game.

You are mixing your aim and the tool, you use. If you want vehicles have the same SIZE, as TTD vehicles, it does not mean, that you can't use LVs SCALE. Do you understand it? The SIZE and the SCALE is not the same thing!

Can you answer DanMacK question? Do you know, that LVs are over 4300 sprites only in temperate? Are you ready to draw so much sprites? Even if you draw 8 sprites every day, it will take you 1 year, 5 months and 2 weeks to repeat it! Are you ready? If no, than you have to understand, that user will use both LVs and your RVs. He would like to see them somehow similar, at least at the same scale. Think about it! Think about those people, who will use you graphics! Make their life better, not worse!

I hope you will understand.

Here's an outline for the early freight wagons. Suggestions welcomed.

I realize this scheme isn't entirely accurate, but based on the information I've found (or lack thereof), this is about as close as we're going to get, unless somebody wants to offer up some more info. This was designed to be somewhat accurate, while still keeping gameplay in mind.

Identical cars, will be refittable

Website · Post by **Lakie** » 15 May 2005 18:07

They look like they are going to be ace!
Great work as always DanMacK.

When I've finished my exams, I'll code them.
(Or during the exam peroid, depends how bored I get

)

I think they are all good ideas, but I can't see why you would want the VR dining car to carry more passengers. 80 passengers is a lot already for the standard VR express coach, so to have even more...

I don't know, it's early, and I'm just throwing ideas out there for consideration

Adds more profit, though that adding more passenger capacity to first class was not my idea, i only suggested it for the Restaraunt version..
But that refitting the cars you want to be first class instead of it being a automatic process is for realism, as not all blue coach trains had first class.
Also Lakie forgot my suggestion of maybe adding the Wiima K202 bus..
he also forgot to mention the possible additions of trailers for Dm7.

DanMacK · Post by **DanMacK** » 07 Jun 2005 17:44

Good ideas, I'll peruse them a bit further and make my suggestions when I get a bit more time

On another note, I've been redrawing the DV12 that was originally in the set, adding details, etc. The base sprite was done by Juzza, but has nearly been completely redrawn by me. Some shading still needs to be done, so don't consider this the finished sprite.

Purno · Post by **Purno** » 07 Jun 2005 18:19

Looks awesome

DanMacK · Post by **DanMacK** » 07 Jun 2005 20:00
