Tubular Bridge replacement

eis_os · Post by **eis_os** » 19 Jul 2004 08:31

Hi

Normally I don't do pixel work for Games, here is my current version of a tubular steel bridge replacement. It's my own creation not based on others work, so the road texture doesn't fit very well...
(The yellow dot's at the street bridges are blinking)

Wow that rail bridge looks very good!

But the 'birdge approach' (the start and end section) does't fit the bridge.

With the monorail bridge it might look better when removing those tiny footers under the monorail.

And how does maglev look like at this bridge?

If you look carefully (use zoom) there aren't TTD footers under it.
There is no maglev version. I have no idea to make maglev version without using TTD Sprite as base... so they aren't supported...

Bridgeheads (toeholds) are shared with Concrete & Girder Steel and so can't be changed...

is it possible to make a more general one (like a concrete base/like buildonslopes trake foundations) with would suit them?

and they look cool

(though at a first glance it looks as if the railway isnt supported from underneath...)

I like them, you should do a standard road version of the bridge and I'll definitely use them. The Tubular Bridge looks..... odd.....

It's a waste of talent

I am not going to use the Road Texture from TTD, maybe I can add later some texture that fits better to TTD, but currently I haven't any idea how to create one...

Those bridges are AWESOME!
I would very much like to see them released.

No way, sorry.

My try to do a "evil" (Josef) hack doesn't work as I would liked,
so without a newbridges Patch features, bridgeheads can't be changed aswell...

looks good. maybe if you change the color (although it wouldn't be as nice), it'll fit the approaches.

Well, a newbridges Patch feature is exactly what we've needed for a long time. It's a challenge...

eis_os · Post by **eis_os** » 19 Jul 2004 19:37

It's the question how we can get an active dev work on it (or better say a challange so he will work on it)

krtaylor · Post by **krtaylor** » 19 Jul 2004 19:49

What do you think I'm trying to do right now, sort of...

eis_os · Post by **eis_os** » 20 Jul 2004 15:05

The evil hack works, but I can't release this hack to the public, because it's hardcoded for TTDWin American.exe and some other aspects like risking malware grf files...

krtaylor · Post by **krtaylor** » 20 Jul 2004 16:36

Oh, I understand. But it shows that it CAN be done, so perhaps it can be cleaned up, made not evil, and released to the public. Not necessarily by you, if that causes problems, perhaps Josef will let it sail under his flag.

Perhaps we just need more active devs.. or perhaps a retired dev to help us out.

Nice work so far Oskar! Keep up the good work, you draw well

. What is it with you and bridges that works so well?

Also, don't mind these suck-ups, (;)) I like it even with the original approaches

eis_os · Post by **eis_os** » 21 Jul 2004 11:04

Don't wonder how I archive that the bridges steel girder bridge and monorail has different bridgeheads, it's the hack I told.

First try:

Hmm

I like the road, perhaps you could make a roadset in that style?

...which is definitely not the point and/or issue here.

eis_os: the bridgeheads look better already.
