The image looks good, but the platforms are a bit empty.

Yes, do you have an idea what I could place there? Boxes or forklifts or the such are impossible for me, at the moment, because that would need to add sprites to the station, and that's really complicated. Otherwise the forklifts or boxes would appear on every platform sprite

hey Saskia, that looks great!

Well I added lights and signs and some shelters, but I forgot benches

Did you mean the station in the package, or the preview of the industrial station(s)? For the passenger station, adding some items is no problem, of course

Ow that's a industrial station in that image

You could draw some crates for industrial platforms maybe.

BTW: The image in your sig contains some of my graphics if I see correctly. Is this a photoshop image or did you actually got those working in TTD???

Station: see above, the crates would be on every platform sprite

Sig: yes, that's your BR 614 and some modified cars

But it's only a PhotoShopped (correct: GIMPed) image at the moment. After I know how to encode stations, I hope to make a TR replacement for the default monorails/maglevs soon. After that, I challenge myself with our DB and Eurocargo sets

And they work in the game, like the signal towers do? Cool!

that industrial station is great!

is there a tutorial somewhere on how to code stations? I want to make one myself now

I wish there was a way download someones skills to your brains..would be much faster and less painless try to learn and fail..

Well, these things do have to evolve over time. Hopefully someday the Station Creator tool will be finished, along with the GRF Creator.

How do i open a .tar.gz file??
WinRAR doesn't want to coöperate

SHADOW-XIII · Post by **SHADOW-XIII** » 02 Jul 2004 20:29

don't download it ... only click it and instead of download select open, then it will open (then open .gz, then will be file without extension but it also can be opened with WinRAR)

i'm gonna try out this first a.s.a.p.

next: now that we have the technology, let's make tons of stations. the more we make, the more good ones there will be in the end. i have some ideas for new ones, a couple of industrial ones specifically for certain industries. anyone accusing me of stealing m. blunck's idea, hit me!

What the heck is this file anyway? I unzipped it, and you get a file with no extension. It isn't a GRF file, I renamed it to .grf and tried it in the game, and it crashed.

Colonel Sheperd · Post by **Colonel Sheperd** » 02 Jul 2004 21:59

Click on the download dialog "open", then open the tar fileinside with winzip, then get in the folder inside (the nameless file, just double click on it) then extract the stuff.
[EDIT]For people that have trouble with this file here is it zipped[/EDIT]

Oh. Talk about recursive subdirectories.
