Transport Tycoon Forums

Hello all

First of all, the wiki needs to be UPDATED (more often/by artist?) i see A LOT of images that are done already (i know i read the blender thread) but are still unclaimed or WIP in the Wiki....

Second of all, is there anyone willing to offer his time for this???


kk thx bio (p.s. ill try updating wiki as well)

Well... if you notice that it's obviously wrong - it's a wiki! If everyone like you who notes that something is incorrect or inaccurate would take those five to ten minutes to properly correct this people wouldn't need to complain about it. I guess your time is better used fixing the wiki than complaining here...

importat? wtf?
+ the artists are not obliged to do anything!

thats my point, they arent obliged:P

cryingcorvus, did you do ALL trucks? i put your name on WIP for the ones i have seen on forums, but without a good clear image and/or post to link to for wiki

I have wondered why trucks on wiki have black background
I try to do as much trucks as I can. Water tankers and paper trucks are in Wip as well but surely I dont make Armored truck (I dont have ideas for it)
I cant Claim to do fruit trucks yet but I try and dont promise anything yet

I begun to make models of Food and copper but is too soon to claim it on wiki

There are some WIPs that can be modeled again. Most of models from Ben_Robbins_ are in WIP state, and don't have construction stages.

Also, I will publish in the wiki the original sprites of houses. It would make easier the sprite replacement, because there are buildings without construction stages, Other houses, share the ground sprite.

Appearently ZxBioHazardZx or the program he uses cannot handle transparency properly. I'm going to fix a bit of it...

Please do bother from now on because it looks ugly on the wiki with black background... I reuploaded those now with transparent background.

ill start Photoshop CS3 then:)

Whilst true, that's part of the problem. No-one else apart from the artist knows that a version is complete, who made it (there may have been creditable collaboration etc) and what license they want to release it under etc etc. Yes they can post it in a forum thread, but typically there's no concerted system for sharing this information.
I know I looked at the wiki a few days ago and suspected parts of it were dated, but I couldn't be sure because I didn't know if the work is finished. Dumping everything in a 215+ page thread is ... hard work when it comes to wanting to find things again.
