Unsinkable Sam

[acs121]

But that fast ferry looks fabulous!

That one is lifted from Andrew350's WSFF set, I just shortened it

redFISH also has a boat from WSFF, the Patos Island i think.

Alpha 2 attached, still not ready for Bananas

Alpha 2
-------

*Changes*

- add mini Freighter (100t capacity)
- tweaks to sprites for large Freighter
- tweaks to sprites for bulk barges, including cargo sprites
- ship size class in name as suffix, not prefix

*Known Issues in Alpha 2*

- missing cargo graphics for some ships
- smoke position is wrong for mini Fast-loading Passenger Ship
- intro dates are wrong
- running and buy costs are wrong
- ship lifetime is (probably) wrong
- 'Type:' info in buy menu is empty

Trawlers eh?

Oooh! Transfers at sea ... Trawlers to Refrigerated Ship!

[andythenorth]

Previously unseen:
* large 'fast loading passenger ship' (TL;DR: city ferry)
* small and large 'luxury passenger ships' (TL;DR: long-distance ferry)
* micro freighter
* small piece goods carrier, livestock carrier, edibles tanker, refrigerated ship, fruit & veg ship
* micro trawler

Such Sam.

Very very very nice stuff!!!

Just wondering if just one smokestack for the Mini Trawler could be enough (like with the Small Freighter)....

It's an option. I like the look of the two-stacks version, but eh, it could be changed

[Quast65]

Might just be the red and that specific direction that makes me notice it....
Looks like the stacks are 2CC colors, right? So that fixes the red already

Will play with it first, before commenting.... Great work!!

[andythenorth]

The single-funnel option would be a simple copy-paste from the edibles tanker

Meanwhile this Trawler spritesheet has a lot of variations in it, if you want to see how trawlers developed

After some heavy testing ...

Cat's content,
Nary a one bottom sent.

Unsinkable Sam alpha-3 is now on bananas, or http://bundles.openttdcoop.org/unsinkable-sam/releases/

Not many visible changes since alpha-2, but I figured it would be nice to have it on Bananas.

9 freight ships included.

It's 1920 in Steeltown (FIRS 3) and there are no ships that can carry cement. I'll have to take it the long way round...

[andythenorth]

Try this version, no idea if it's savegame compatible

General freighter refits cement.

Thanks.
I need to start a new game anyway with this, the FIRS 4 test and the IH update.

I found this thread yesterday. As I love playing with ships in OTTD, I was eager to give it a try. I played a little yesterday with the version on Bananas, but today I wanted to test the new r493. The first ship I buy looks funny:

It ought to be a "Rio Pescado Trawler", but on the water it looks an awful lot like the Marstein from Squid, and not at all like the ship depicted in the other views.

Unfinished sprites. The alpha on Bananas contains fewer ships, but the sprites in it are mostly finished.

Oh, I'll wait for an update on Bananas, then. Thank you for all your work.

[andythenorth]

Sam ain't dead.

Play-tested a lot; found more ship sizes are needed.

Range is 72t-720t.

Hmm, so is Unsinkable Sam suppose to be a Sucessor to FISH (ala FISH v3)?

Yes. With cargo sprite generation and other stuff. It's a bit slow-moving due to FIRS and stuff
