Hi everyone, just a small update.

Version 0.3 of RattRoads has been released and now includes the familiar Sett Paved roads. These sprites have only been slightly modified from ARRS, but unlike ARRS these roads are available to be built anywhere, not just inside towns (although I think that's where they look best!). Other small changes include fixing a tiny graphical error and changing the speed limit of basic asphault.

As usual, you can find the updated NewGRF in the first post of this topic. :)

=============

Sett Pavement is likely the last road type to be included, at least for now. I said previously I would include an electrified road for trolleybuses or whatnot, but I think I'm going to hold off on that. There's very little demand for something like that right now, and in any case Unspooled works just fine if someone needs it :) I may still include a basic tram type with the option to disable it if needed, but we'll see.

The other feature I spoke of was the freeway objects, which I actually have done some work on. I took them out for this release though since there is still some work to be done, but they are coming together much better than my previous attempt, mostly due to using Dutch Road Furniture as a starting point, and not trying to do any crazy overlapping stuff. Hopefully I will have a release with these objects available soon, including some other polish fixes for the rest of the road types. :)

15 road type and 12 tram type. The original graphics and OpenGFX. These roads will be able to do is to encode the newgrf. Enjoy!!!

In those terms, would you mind removing that stripe that fills the tile on Freeway roads ?

Thanks, however your translation is for the older 0.2.0 release. If you can update it for the latest version (0.3.0) I'll happily include it :)

You mean on the screenshot I posted above? The final "roads" will have a barrier between the oncoming lanes, if that's what you mean. The picture above is just some work in progress :)

I guess he wants the dead ends to look like the next lower-tiered road type, for whatever reason.

You have expensive graphics only openGFX. I want to make original TTD graphics

The classic TTD road is beneath the NRT road. He wants the classic road gone, only grass with the NRT road.

Uh... in your 0.3.0 source file, there is that french.lng file for 0.2.0.

Not quite**. I think the idea is to restructure the set by removing a couple of the existing roadtypes and replace them with some from other sets. Unfortunately I don't think I'm going to do that right now since the result is more-or-less just a mixing of several sets put together. The most I would be willing to do is offer some parameters to turn on or off each roadtype individually, allowing you to pick only the roads you want. You would still need those separate roadtype grfs to get the other roads however. There is also a possibility that if/when NRT gets merged into master, it may have 64 slots available just like railtypes recently got, which would allow as many roadtypes as you could ever possibly need. No guarantee of course, but keep an eye on it ;)

**Try placing RattRoads below your landscape set in the NewGRF list to get rid of those ugly road artifacts underneath. The tiles won't match perfectly since you are using the TTD baseset, but it might look slightly better (ignore this if you've tried already! :) ).

The road graphics in your screenshot are not from RattRoads, but rather seem to be modified from Unspooled/other sets. Seems you are making an entirely different NewGRF? If so it looks good, perhaps you should consider opening a separate topic to discuss it further? :)
acs121 wrote:Uh... in your 0.3.0 source file, there is that french.lng file for 0.2.0.
Ah, so there is. Well, the only thing that changed for 0.3.0 was the addition of Sett Paved Road, as found in english.lng:

Code: Select all

STR_SETT_PAVEMENT_ROAD_NAME          :Sett Paved Road
STR_SETT_PAVEMENT_ROAD_TOOLBAR       :Sett Paved Road Construction
STR_SETT_PAVEMENT_ROAD_MENU          :Sett Paved Road construction
There are also some strings in there for the upcoming highway objects, however those are not the final descriptions, so I will post them here once they are finalized. Thanks again :)

Do you want to create a new set of original graphics or take from my picture? :oops:
Fun to play OPENTTD, there are drawbacks with graphics. I want to separate 2 graphics OPENGFX and original TTD.

Unfortunately I am already very busy with the projects I have going so I can't really take on another one, but I can try to help when possible :) One thing I'd like to ask: do you have any 'source' files for these graphics or did you simply paint these onto that image? Separate sprites would be very helpful if someone wanted to make it into a new road/tramtrack set :)

Well, there were and are lots of streetcar systems in North America, so you should think about implenting tramtypes in, as well as electrified roads. If i had a coder, i'd be ready to draw like hell to make a set of all american streetcars and LRVs.

More like the second example. A typical spriteset looks something like this:

Note that the blue color is transparent in the game. Arranging your sprites in a format similar to this will greatly aid someone in coding them. Additionally using and having a palette applied to the files is a big help too. :)

Meh, I never really intended to make RattRoads into a set that has everything right out of the gate, just to provide a few of the main roads, with maybe a basic tram type. It can always be expanded later and probably will, but for now I'll leave that other stuff to another set.

And don't wait to start drawing something until a coder comes along, you will likely be waiting a long time ;) Plus it's better to have something already done to help gain interest.
