Born Acorn, looking good but...

The tankl ontop of a edestal... First, it seems to be higher whilst being lifted then when it is siting on the top, and also the pedestals it sits on (on the 2 last) semms to be buildt as the crane is lifting it. That seems pretty odd :/

Also crane seems to be floating - it needs some base

The Oil-Fired Power Station is now implemented and for the most part working - there are still a few things that need doing, such as implementing the building animation (which I have from Born Acorn, so just need to GRFise the sprites and alter the code) or perhaps adding smoke to the chimneys or sparks from the electric stuff. The desalination plant seems to work quite well.

Great work

I'm dying to see your code

Very Very nice

That Oil Power Plant is very cool

But I still don't know, the Desal Plant looks a bit off, like there's something not right with it... like it doesn't fit into the game

The first chimmey on the oil power plant looks like it has it's top chopped off

So it's not just me? I think it needs some color.

It needs a fence, I think, and maybye some grassy part with tree

I don't like the railway track inside the oil plant. It doesn't fit in with the rest of the industries already in the game.

Otherwise, it looks terrific.

The railway could actually be nice if you could use it yourself, maybe add some sort of station inside, so the trains can enter and unload. I don't know if this is possible, but it would be fun if it was

Yeah Ive already removed it and replaced it with lots o electriccy stuff.

Also the primary colour of the Water tower is white as its the 'colour' of water containers. So I shall change the building to brick colour, since pretty much everything else in the game is brick.

Here is the one Born Acorn sent me last night, with all the electrical stuff.

Great! I'm just wondering why there is no fire nor smoke...

Anyway, when are you planning to relase it? Next nightly?

there aren't any smoke because it's not producing anything, it's just in stand-by

and why do you want the fire to be there? Most often powerplants burn EVERYTHING under the boilers, not on top of the chimney. Flares are only used to get rid of gas in oil production. If they aren't used, the pipes might explode due to high pressure

Orudge is coding it so it does produce smoke like the Coal Power plant, which has been renamed to Coal-Fired Power Plant to avoid confusion between the two.

A patch and binaries should be released when the both are fully working with no probs, and then its up to all the other factors, (such as translations etc) before merging.

The Oil-fired power plant looks very good, but I would say that the yellow-red pipe (in lower left corner, from oil tanks) should not lead to transformer, but to the buildings on the right, where ,I think, turbine and generator is.

Post by **orudge** » 24 Apr 2005 19:39

Yes, there will be smoke of some sort. I'll likely release a binary next weekend (it's annoying not being able to work on OpenTTD during the week).

Born Acorn · Post by **Born Acorn** » 28 Apr 2005 16:49

I haven't been able to touch the PCX at all due to immense amounts of Corusework and homework, sorry Orudge

SWEET!!!!!

Is there still going to be the original oil refinery--->goods setup?

Cheers
And keep up the amazing work!
