• Randomised greeble on some tiles
• Magic buffer stops
• Tiles for mine buildings and harbour cranes
• Replaces default dock sprites

pictures and stuff....

reserved for pictures and stuff

Nicely done, little grfs like this make me happy

maybe expand this with firs-set-like overhead buildings etc? (sheds/cranes etc from firs can be used)

Ahh yes, that'd look sweet. ISR always looks abit pants with FIRS cause of the different ground tiles, DWE Stations is closer but doesnt have as much variation as IRS. Personally, I think buffers should be next on the agenda, I might even have a crack!

What about special no-track tile with buffer - now train hits buffer every single time.

Thanks !!!

Monorail and maglev Station have some errors. See image.

CHIPS 0.3 released - have it fruit flavoured or here: http://bundles.openttdcoop.org/chips/releases/0.3/

Main feature is some cargo support. The graphics for mineral cargos currently suck. I can fix that later

Changelog below.

-----------
0.3 Release
-----------
- Cargo graphics for:
- coal
- iron ore
- clay
- sand
- stone
- scrap metal
- lumber
- crates (used by multiple cargos)
- Internal changes (fix bounding boxes; suppress build errors)

No screenies to convince me?

The mud platform doesn't seem very OpenGFX-compatible:

CHIPS 0.4 now on bananas, or here: http://bundles.openttdcoop.org/chips/releases/LATEST/

Changelog below...

-----------
0.4 Release
-----------
Cargo graphics for:
- wood
- barrels (chemicals, oil, petrol etc)
Add FIRS-style docks (based on code by PaulC)
Add Parcels Office tile
Improve appearance of Quarry platforms
Deprecate Clay Pit platforms
Display huts by exits of stations
Display cranes, buildings etc on certain tiles
Remove flashing beacons on buffers (was annoying)
Multiple internal changes for GRM code etc.

Parcels office. More passenger tiles are planned.

Suggestion: removal of the crane from the dock so that they look suitable with passenger ships as well?

May I suggest a non-track tile 'bumper' that is just the track leading off into the dirt or gravel? Many light industry sidings don't have a real bumper - instead just wheel chocks (Not likely to be visible in the game) and then just end in dirt or gravel.

A Hayes bumper would be nice otherwise.

like to report missing graphics when your have monorail and maglev. chips does not work here
and is it correct that chips gets put into default stations ? shouldn't it be in separate menu entries ?

Known, too much work to fix right now.

and is it correct that chips gets put into default stations ? shouldn't it be in separate menu entries ?

Known, nobody has taken the time yet to code it otherwise.

well, i have some experience with my own stations set, so i could help out a bit here

Cranes are common even at purely passenger serving wharfs. How else do they load food, baggage etc on board?

If we had NewStations type support for docks, a ferry jetty would be nice though.
