Please someone from the developers or scripters

-let's create an futuristic stile
let's take an 3D engine and make some Vehicle models
making some scripts for movement like
i think the .grf files cant sustain the scripts
like this:
3d.grf
and a folder in data named 3d
in the folder need to be 1 folder with 3d engine
and another folder with models
for 3d engine 1 camera like standard TTD
the engine need to have an menu for quality and resolution
thats all fox
my english is bad:D
plsss i don't know to make scripts and the 3d i am in sketchup like 1 year

OpenTTD might go (actually is too) 32bpp, but not 3D

i want this game with 3d because its more flexible
not 8 fps -for a vehicle
but in 3d its more than 70-100fps per second
and we can do the volvo fh16 to rotate from middle

Suggestions belong in the Suggestions forum. Also, this particular idea was suggested a lot already and (very understandably) refused by the devs of this game. It would be a complete remake of the game. If you want something like this, you'll have to find other people willing to do it and create a new project (since this is open source, you can split it off this project though).

If I understand rok_ed correctly, he does not mean to create a complete 3D engine for the whole game but instead a small renderer that creates the image graphics from 3D models. So that people create the 3D model and can place it in a folder in the game dir and the images with different perspectives are created automatically. But I think it is easier to write a script for Blender to do this (if it is not already there). Furthermore as far as I know the handling of the offsets is not possible automatically.

yea i want to be created an little 3d engine with scripts in .grf to be an upgrade to the OTTD
not to re-script all this game
but to create an .grf with scripts like plugins for winamp or another programs
i think this is posible

I think you're overestimating what grf can do.
What BlazE described would have to be an external application (and somehow I've a feeling, that what he described is not what you actually want)

I dont know verry mutch engilsh and i dont know scripts and programing stuff
but i want to somebody invent an script in grf to execute like this
run: gamedir\data\3d\msvcr71.dll for example
and in that engine says like this:
run: gamedir\data\3d\model_x.skp for example
this file .dll its from sketchup viewer

TO BE LIKE AN 2.5D graphic
the world to be same in 2d
but the vehicles to be 3d

p.s. can u tell me an program for scripting in grf
to try to make something like to run that dll and to make an list to run that list with models
and if i can do that i will let u to make the repairs and the camera and stuffs like this

Program for scripting grf: Your favourite ASCII editor (msot likely for you would be Notepad)
Program for encoding it: GRFCodec
The manual: http://wiki.ttdpatch.net/tiki-index.php ... phicsSpecs

GRF can't run external dlls.

Nor can/will OpenTTD, as those are highly platform-dependent.

rok_ed, if you're really into 3D train gaming, the folks over at Hawk & Badger Railroad http://hawkdawg.com/forums/ are working on an open-source version of Railroad Tycoon 3 (more like the RRT4 that should have been made instead of Sid Meier's Railroads).
They need all the help they can get.
