32bit Extra Zoom Graphics Works In Progress

[maquinista]

I have coded the printing woirks industry. I have used dithered mask files (This looks better if the sprite have a white CC). It haves also the water depot from the old version of the TAR file.

This is a update with the new bridges. Now, I will try code the monorail tunnels, update the shopping mall, docks...

Hmm, something seems wrong with the pillars. They're either too short, or positioned badly.

The problem is the same with 8 bpp bridges. I think that the bridges code (OpenTTD code) should be rewritten, because there are too many problems when the ground it not plain.
Also, It would be cool allow custom bridges layouts and more bridges.

[maquinista]

This is a updated version of the monorail tiles with the Z1 and Z0 zoom levels. It looks better.

[maquinista]

I have added a new bridge, but... It replaces the truss bridge. It would be interesting a new bridge set for 32 bpp.

[maquinista]

I have updated some TAR files.

In the last screenshot there are a building in 8 bpp. This was because the latest version of OpenTTD moved a tropical house (and more sprites) to OpenTTDW.GRF file. I have updated the tar file with the houses.

@maquinista : your bridges look really nice.but i asked myself some questions?
how do you apply road in the model?is it an assembly or is it included in the blend file?
i didn't find in the blend.
i made an attempt of making bridges several weeks ago but i wasn't happy about the result.
i didn't apply shadows and texture correctly but it was the beginning.
i would like to continue on this way but i'm not sure about road texture.
this is the bridges i made at this time but don't be cruel (it was a test and for fun)

I model only the bridge pieces without the road surface.
It is a strange process, and It is not easy to explain...

First, I create a straight and plain road (6 tiles), and I take a screenshot. Then, I delete 4 tiles of the road and I dig the terrain, and I build a bridge, I take other screenshot of the same place, and I open a screenshot with GIMP and I paste there the other screenshot and the rendered sprites of the bridge. Then, I "build" a bridge with GIMP, using the GIMP tools.

I will upload some XCF files that I have used for creating bridges.

These bridges are nice.


Also, I have tried modify this house, to create a construction stage:


I will ask their author if He allows to include it with the other 32 BPP houses... or better, if He uploads the .blend file.

I have split the monorail.tar file in two because It was too big.

Also, I have see the trees with fruits. They're awesome, and I think that They are ready. The ground tiles needs some changes, but they're good.

About the bridges:
They are very nice indeed, but can't you apply a semi transparent shadow to the underneath of bridge? I believe for sprites 842, 843, 1004/1005, 1704-1709 etc., , so they'd look a bit like this (just a mockup):

It's a very interesting idea.

But there is a problem, in the other direction of the bridges, the shadows wouldn't work well...

The solution would if it could be possible add sprites with the shadow to the bridge, but the current GRF system does not allow this. I think that bridges needs more improvements in OTTD (narrow bridges (one lane), one way bridges crossing bridges, signals in bridges, custom bridge heads, overtaking in bridges...). Also, It would be cool adding custom bridge (and pillars) layouts.

This is the latest TAR file with the suspension bridge and tubular bridge. If You have the file "Bridges_preview.tar", delete it, because this update file has a different name.

Power plant by j0rdax:

Hey Maquinista, thanks for coding. I think it came out well.
The old smoke and sparks line up beautifully. I am still struggling to redo them nicely.
Cheers, keep up the good work.

@j0rdax: Very nicely done, great powerplant

@maquinista: thnx for codeing

[maquinista]

I have coded the other style road vehicles depots.

Also, I have created this download page with a different classification:

@j0rdax: Very nicely done, great powerplant

Just a note. The powerstation was done from scratch and was not based on any other downloadable blend.
Nice work Maquinista, I like the depots, but I'm sure the road can be extended to go inside the depot. Maybe Wacki should comment on what he planned/wanted to be done.

Since the the depot has two overlays, It can be done pasting a road sprite over the wall sprite. I will try it.

This is the file with the briges updated.
