A little GRF that will permanently change all the coasttiles to snowy coasttiles.

Use in combination with OpenGFX-graphics for the best looking result (make sure it is placed UNDER OpenGFX in your GRF-list).
Parameter-1 to 1: Alpine
Parameter-1 to 2: Arctic (Default)
Parameter-1 to 0: Disables this GRF

Version 0.1 is released on Bananas

This NewGrf addon doesn't work. Snow displayed only land's edge

I think that's all this grf does. You need to use it with OpenGFX+ Landscape and set the snowline to 0.

Snow displayed only land's edge

And that is exactly what it is intended to do.

Coasttiles arent snow-line aware, so normally they stay without snow, while the rest of the landscape is covered with snow.
This doesnt look that good for example when you want to make a pretty screenshot with snow everywhere, in that case you can use this GRF.

I installed OpenGFX+ and set snow line to 1 (zero is not possible). Both - summer and winter/
Problem didn't decided.

All this GRF does, is replacing the coasttiles from the base-graphics with snowy coasttiles, so just a simple graphics replacement.
It is NOT snow-line aware, its snowy always, regardless of the time of year. So, indeed that can be strange in the summer.

Coasttiles sadly cant be made snow-line aware.

You need to set up your grfs something like this to get the desired effect. Use the parameters for OpenGFX+ Landscape to set the snowline height to zero.

I understand why i have problem/ I didn't set snow line to 0.
I have same version from screenshot, but min value allow set - 1.
LightArrows on value 1 displayed whadows
Very strange

Looks like there is a problem either with other GRFs or with your version of OpenTTD (or the settings in that version).

What happens if you only load OpenGFX+Landscape in your GRF-list? So, no other GRFs.

Hi. I cheked version openttd. I have last version - 1.7.2
So tries used single OpenGFX. I can't set snow line to "0". Minimal value is - "1"
Very strange bugs

[Quast65]

Very strange bugs

It instantly works ok for me.
So, its a setting somewhere, or it might be the base-graphics set you are using...
As I see, you are using a 32bpp base set, which one?

For testing i dasabled all gfx exclude opengfx and snowy coast.
on screenshot it desplayed

Thats not what I meant

I mean, what Base Graphics set are you using for your games? Its the one you can set via the Game Options:

Allthough, I dont think that should be an issue...

I think you are better off raising this problem over at the development thread of OpenGFX+Landscape and that maybe one of the developers of that GRF can help you out:

I dont think I can help you any further....

You could add a snow line height table to your grf, the code is fairly simple and it would eliminate the need to use it with OpenGFX+ Landscape:

Code: Select all

   -1 * -1	00 08 01 01 00 10 // Action 0, global settings, snow line height table

So tries used single OpenGFX. I can't set snow line to "0". Minimal value is - "1"

The problem seems to be the Russian translation for that grf which says 1 when it should say 0, but it should actually be working ok. Or try this grf instead:

True, however the graphics are based on OpenGFX+Landscape graphics, so it would not look at its best with the base snow graphics.
To be honest, I would rather like to see this GRF being incorporated into OpenGFX+Landscape as a parameter. One less GRF in your list then

Well done for spotting that confusing language bug in OpenGFX+Landscape!!

[PaulC]

You would be able to use your grf with the OpenGFX base set, OpenGFX+ Landscape is only necessary for setting the snowline to zero.

That would also work.

[KeldorKatarn]

Integrating it into OpenGFX would be nice yes. Also to make it possible to use temperate terrain tiles with snow in artict, as OpenGFX landscape allows. As long as that isn't integrated it would be neat for this thing to check with the game for an already defined snowline and activate appropriately maybe? If this used temparate+snow as an option and checked the snow line I could guarantee my current stream partner and I would immediately put this to use

[Quast65]

Me too, but I have no idea how to do that (and if it is even possible).
A more experienced landscape coder is very welcome to use my graphics

HINT HINT: @Developers. This is EXACTLY what I mean when I say newGRF creations is WAY too complicated.
