Hi guys. That's a nice stuff what you making.I have one small demand. Can somebody do an .exe file with 32bpp Graphics. I try SVN but after many tutorials and 10hours trying a gave up and I write here. I am only praying that somebody will do it.

Well, if you'd have searched for 1 minute, here or on the wiki, you would have found (and yeah, I really should update it again):

Upon downloading the extra zoom mega pack or whatever its called I notice that most artists arn't using the 12.5x12.5m scaling. Is that scaling still correct? Certainly at the moment its not looking uniform at all.

In my opinion, the 12.5m/tile rule is widely followed. Of course, there's only so much you can put into the confines of such a small space, so especially for the larger buildings the scale has to be "adjusted". That also applied to the original graphics, where it was far less noticeable, however. And for planes and ships, even greater liberty has to be taken. It is also apparent in the train vehicle sprites, they all look a bit squished. But still, it's a good compromise, as a larger scale (say, 25m/tile) would lead to other issues, for example double tracks looking like two separate lines because of the wider spacing, or ludicrously wide city roads. Realistic scale (that is, consistent scale) has been discussed a year or two ago but was deemed not feasible as it would require a total redesign of the map...

... and granted, there may be the occasional sprite that is really a bit off, scale-wise

Where can I get Aracirion's Lightwave template as described on the WIKI? (http://wiki.openttd.org/wiki/index.php/ ... evelopment) I PMed a guy with that user name on the forums but never got any response.

Guys I am an avid player of locomotion and just wanna say (compliment coming!) that I think the work your doing on open ttd 32bpp is amazing, brilliant and is gonna transform an already brilliant game - the opportunity to play the game with these graphics when finished is something i can't wait for. Bigger worlds, amazing graphics will make an amazing game play.

Brilliant guys - are there any plane sets in 32bpp? like the a320 community model in locomotion or even larger planes like the a330/340 or boeing 767/747 or 777? I fly for BA hence the aircraft addiction (lol).

Once again brilliant - any way I can help - please let me know - it may be small but all i can do i will try.

Thanks, these airport tiles are awesome.
I have coded the airport sprites with their offsets. There is a problem with a sprite (2646) that is shared by two different tiles, and looks bad in the city airport.

I will code other 32 bpp elements. Also, I can try to convert this tiles for desert or subtropical, but I don't remember the correct values for conversion to tropical tiles.

I have coded the house. The hotel is also interesting.

Yes maquincuista, I'm aware of that...
I even posted a feature request on Flyspray but it didn't get any attention :/
http://bugs.openttd.org/task/2458

thanks a lot for your help maquinista.i don't know the way to cut a sprite in two ,so it's very cool.i 've been very busy so far but now i will try to go on this way.
i will modify the 2x1 hotel to remove the ground.

Yes, also, a custom building placement tool (as a cheat) would be awesome to develop new graphics (also with 8 bpp projects).
Ok, I have coded it, but It would look better without the ground (Do nor remove the benches and stairs, only the base). This is because the original sprite shares the base sprite with other houses (like de fountain, the statue, and other buildings).
Also, this allow to see twe white or red squares (query tool, bulldozer...).
If You don't know how to cut the sprites, is not a problem, I can do It and add the offsets.

i have removed the ground of the hotel and only left a small border and benches.i hope you'll find it good.
see attached the 3 sprites uncutted.thanks for your help.(i think i'm going to learn how to use correctly gimp for the future)

This is the Hotel, and the ground tile and the statue made by Ben Robbins.

Good to see this project is running again, It's been quiet too long here.

Keep up the good work!

I have updated the HQs. Theres two TAR files, but You only need one of them. They have the two fist stages for arctic, temperate and tropical climates.
The top image is the DMH_Mac HQ with some modifications of Varivar (grass, better textures...).
The bottom image is the DMH_Mac HQ with the grass tiles made by Ben Robbins.
You can download the two files, but only one of them will work.

I can model in XSI. Would it be ok to make my models in there and then convert them to .blender?

Disclaimer: I don't 3D model at all, I just follow this thread to look at the pretty eyecandy that I'll see in-game one distant day.

However as far as I can work out the issue is the lighting model -- which is done up in Blender. If you modelled and textured in XSI then exported to Blender to do the lighting and rendering then that would work, would it not?

I have coded the park made by DMH_Mac. Is coded as a GRF+TAR file with 1x1 pair of town houses.
This GRF (new_town_houses.grf) is included in the TAR file.
It must be enabled in new GRF window. It has a construction stage and It has flowers on spring (March-June).
Also, It has the company Statue.

I have coded other Building from Dmh_mac. It has two construction stages. If You want, I can upload the modified Blend files. Also, I will update this post with the GRF sourcecode.

I'm really happy, when I can see, that some 8bpp graphics are converted to 32bpp. But a question: Can I download these graphics, or they are just plans?
