OpenGFX - Graphics Base Set

[Red*Star]

Done now.

@whoever will code this: Please note that there were also little changes at the docks (I have cleared the *old* grass/coast/water undergrund), so use this version instead of the old one.

[nicfer]

I like more Zephyris' docks & locks than the Red*Star ones, they're more similar to the originals and look more 'formal'.

[FooBar]

Opengfx1r.grf is almost finished now. A few buildings and some other things are still missing, but the greater deal is done!
I probably replaced more buildings than intended in the first place, but because we had enough houses and larger buildings available, I just replaced the hell out of it

I'll compile a list of sprite numbers that are still missing from opengfx1r.grf later tonight.

The zipfile below contains the full replacement currently coded in it's final format, i.e. trg1r, trgcr and trghr (the latter two fully complete!). Enjoy.

[DJ Nekkid]

can i now just rename them to the originals, and it will be on by default?

[FooBar]

Just unzip the file in your /data directory and it should work by default (provided you're using a recent nightly).
Otherwise add graphics_set = OpenGFX to the [misc] section of your openttd.cfg (provided you're using a recent nightly).


Make sure to keep trgir.grf and trgtr.grf (and openttdw.grf) in place (and all file names written in lowercase).


Renaming could work, but you'll surely end up with error messages of the graphics files being corrupted.

[DJ Nekkid]

ahh, oki so the game picks the the opengfx if available, and the default if not I see thanx *smily-overdose*

[Gremnon]

Besides Toyland, how much is left to be done?
Or is it just Toyland?

[FooBar]

The following sprites are missing from opengfx1r.grf:

//4604 tropic building
//4614-4619
//4623-4625
//4627-4789 toyland buildings industries whatsoever
//4790 buy land sign

The list above includes sprites which are already drawn, but not coded as normal newgrf and thus not included in opengfx1r.grf.
I don't know the status on openttdw.grf. I think most of it is done (if not all), but I haven't looked into that yet.

Toyland is still mostly incomplete.

Otherwise add graphics_set = OpenGFX to the [misc] section of your openttd.cfg (provided you're using a recent nightly).

I downloaded the most recent nightly (14275), unzipped the files into the \data-folder, started openttd, and no new grapics... Added this to the MISC-part of the file, and, and no new grapics...

Code: Select all

[misc]

I might be wrong, but try extracting the archive, and manually copying the files into data.
I think the archive might be putting them in a folder in data, but that might just be my mistake.

[Pingaware]

Done now.

Brilliant Red*Star! As superior to the originals as Zephyris's were, these are even better than them. If they're not accepted for the project, please find someone to code them. They need to be used.

Thank you. Uhmm... I always thought about making a complete nautic set... nah, let's first see how the complete 8bpp replacement project turns out

This is actually weird stuff. It works fine if I have the files in the data dir located in Documents\OpenTTD, but does not work if I put them in OpenTTD's native data dir. Removing all other .obg files from the data dir does the trick for now. I'll figure out why it doesn't work instantly later on.

In the former case the opengfx obg is found first, in the latter case it isn't found first. And when the criteria for finding the "best" graphics replacement set are all the same (i.e. all files are found) the first one found will be the one that wins.

I thought FooBar had added a line to his config that should force OpenTTD to load the OpenGFX set, regardless of which is found first? Or am I mistaken?

[FooBar]

Yes I had, but that didn't really seem to work.

I understand why it doesn't work without the line in config, but if it doesn't work with the line, then either the syntax is wrong or something else is wrong.

Anyways, this is the syntax I used:

Code: Select all

[misc]
graphics_set = OpenGFX

Reading from the code it looks like you need to use "graphicsset" instead of "graphics_set".

[FooBar]

Thanks Yexo, works like a charm

[DJ Nekkid]

well, i did get it working, but now monorail and maglev trains are purple/pink ish, and some buildings are as well

and yes, i have that, and all other, file(s) in my \data folder (winxp)

[athanasios]

Red*Star: Very nice and much better without cranes. They should definitely be in OpenGFX. Their being different from the original shows the effort you put to draw them. I never liked the LQ original ones.
