Wow. Perhaps add windows at the sides of the house block?

lucaspiller · Post by **lucaspiller** » 10 Aug 2005 19:12

I am guessing dmh_mac is going for the 'scabby British council house estate' look, in which case you wouldn't have windows on the side. If you are, maybe you could add some unique features to each house to make them look more realistic, the usual stuff: scafolding, different walls on each house, the occasional one on fire.

What about balconies?

dmh_mac · Post by **dmh_mac** » 10 Aug 2005 21:11

It's based off of dutch housing with a bit of the squished-togetherness of british council estates. Maybe I'll add some different curtains and garden plants, but it's actualy a tad too cluttered for my liking already.
However, don't worry there's still a lot of tiles to be made and I'm sure I'll make a housing estate one that has more variety in houses. Perhaps there could even be different styles of buildings on a per city basis in the new engine.

I think this one is brilliant, and doesn't need a thing changed.

I just hope other modellers can get to dmh_mac's level or he'll have to do all the buildings...

Some possible improvement for dmh_mac's lumbermill: I think the territory looks a bit empty. Maybe adding some more machines (crane, tractor, etc.) will make it more interesting?

By the way, will it be possible for the new graphic engine to have animations (e.g., working machines/people at the lumbermill if it is currently working)?

Can't wait to see the OTTD with new graphics!

ghost, currently because the New GFX is CPU based rather than GPU based we cannot afford the CPU power required to animate.

currently a 32bpp game on fast forward (on a 2.4Ghz 1 Gb ram computer) will go about 10% faster than the game at normal speed.

Where do you get these numbers from?

From Meks implimentation of 32bpp. (i assume by your response this is not a good place to have gotten info from)

i don't know how yours performs, unfortunatly i have never gotten a build of it.

IIRC, it's the palette animation emulation that's the real killer (but they may no longer be the case).

A variation on the previous tile:

Nice, but you're missing the blotches of oil, the skip and the clapped out banger...

Purno · Post by **Purno** » 11 Aug 2005 14:13

Looks very nice, but a bit dead. Add some flowers and cars and such, would be my suggestion.

Alltaken · Post by **Alltaken** » 11 Aug 2005 14:14

dmh_mac would this building be 1x1 or 2x2 squares?

would you like my materials for things like roads... so that we can co-ordinate the colours of carparks with those of the roads.... (also the scale of carparks with those of the roads....)

hmmmm i need to think how we co-ordinate these things.

materials is easy via the wiki, other things are more difficult

What?

dmh_mac · Post by **dmh_mac** » 11 Aug 2005 14:21

This is a 1×1 tile (unless stated differently, most of my tiles are).
I'm using the 1 tile = 25 meters scale.

Alltaken · Post by **Alltaken** » 11 Aug 2005 14:47

dmh_mac, check your inbox, i have sent one (assuming PMs are working correctly)

i sent it before these recent replies BTW.

The street lights look a bit too short in that picture, or is it just the viewing angle?
