Oops those are big words. At least, if we see something needs adjustements and we can manage it, we do it.
Wow, skidd13, these are just great. Very innovative, but old-school looking at the same time.skidd13 wrote:To add a few of my thought to this context.
At first I like the idea to have open graphics and the project is processing nicely. *Thumbs up*
To give some input from my side. I thought over some cursors a while ago. Here is a fresh new concept which orientates at the original design but it still different. The basic idea with this cursor is that you have to surround the pixel you want to click with the circle. As I dont want to loose the grey boxes of the cursors (As they generate a nice contrast) I adapted the design to the round cursor style.
That's what I like to see, sprites orientating at the original design, but still have their own values.
I dont think we need to be too worried about the selection edges looking too similar to the originals. I doubt anyone can claim that a 1 or 2 pixel white border around the edge of a frame is a copyright graphic design.Soeb wrote:Outlines only.
Maybe not. But I'd like to remake it however.richk67 wrote:I dont think we need to be too worried about the selection edges looking too similar to the originals. I doubt anyone can claim that a 1 or 2 pixel white border around the edge of a frame is a copyright graphic design.
I've used more and it works, so I don't see any problems.Zephyris wrote:You can only use the two original colours for the selection grid, for the recolouring when land cant be altered...
For Arctic setting yes. For temperate - please no. The originals were British locos for a reason (ok hysterical raisins). If people want to load a newgrf of US locos, they still can.DanMacK wrote:... I'm designing the locos to be slightly more "North American" ...
Well, I meant just for Tropic and Arctic, which were (sort of) based on NA prototypes anyway (it was kind of a strange combination of North American and African looking locos) The temperate locos would continu to be based on their original prototypes.richk67 wrote:For Arctic setting yes.

Thanks. Sorry for spamming but I can't see anything that will replace selectors.FooBar wrote:Action 05
Well, one thing the new graphics perhaps don't have going for them for new users is the fact they're generally a bit more "complicated" to play. The original vehicle sets are very easy to play, and while this may result in a few oddities like 400mph maglev trains carrying coal, or TGVs full of cattle, it doesn't overburden the user with being forced to use certain wagons, or having to refit things all the time, etc. Possibly worth considering.richk67 wrote:In fact, I wonder why we are even looking at designing new loco graphics. We should really be asking Pikka or other great artists for permission to use their existing locos within an OTTD distribution. (Replacing the specific locos in the original sets, not overwriting the unliked (eg. monorail) with alternative choices.)
