Canadian-North American Graphics.png
As many of you are aware this archive contained the earlier and still current (v1.0 releases) graphics files of Canadian/North American Graphics ; they were :
» Canadian Trains (CanSet)
» Canadian Stations (CanStn)
» Canadian Town Names (CANames)
» North American Cities (NACity)
» North American Roads (NARoads)
as well as
» BK Enhanced Tunnels (BKTun)
The maintenance and hosting of these graphics files have now been relocated to Simuscape. They will no longer be available on tt-forum or any other website for that matter. Currently, they are not available for download, they had to be removed for reasons I will not enter into. Should you urgently require a backcopy, while you wait for the updated version to be become available, PM me and I can arrange that.
Currently all of these graphics files are back in my workshop for important updates as they are rather old and almost outdated. It's been more than four years since they were released last.
This topic is for discussions, suggestions, comments and fault reporting regarding all of the above listed graphics files. Your are welcome to make suggestions regarding the currently planned modifications. If there are any issues, that you would like to have addressed, I'll be happy to look into it. However, no new content (with some exceptions) is planned to be added, that'll have to wait for the Canadian Theme Pack.
The To-Do-List is as follows :
All GRFs will have
OpenTTD GRF Information (Action14) added, including in-game parameter settings; as well as
German and French Translations, where appropriate. Versions will become v1.1/v1.2. Some GRFIDs may change too, if deemed necessary.
In regard to individual modules :
» CanSet v1.0a) CanSet v1.0 will be renamed CanRail v1.1, in preparation for the release of CanRail v2.0.
b) ECS compatibility will be checked and updated [if necessary].
c) FIRS compatibility will be added.
d) Add flag allowing to reverse vehicles, if appropriate
» CanStn v1.0(no other updates, than listed above planned)
» CANames v1.0 (no other updates, than listed above planned)
» NACity v1.0 a) NACity v1.0 will be renamed CanCity v1.1, in preparation for the release of CanCity v2.0.
b) Some players have commented on many occasions, that their cities have huge population numbers and the 'production' of passengers is too high. It is very difficult to come up with the right values. However, a new feature to solve this problem will be added.
In general, default values will be reduced by about 20%; plus players will have the ability to adjust the settings (via parameters) for population and cargo production to something between 10 % and up to 200 % of default values. This will allow players to experiment for themselves and to find values that suit them.
» NARoads v1.1a) Provided I do find an artist or two; and are given permission; I intend to add road tiles matching 8-bit OpenGfx Base Graphics (Landscape).
b) Provided I do get permission; I intend to add the circulating updates of the Total Bridge Replacement set with NARoad surfaces. However, should this task involve too much work, it will have to wait until Canadian Infrastructure (CanBase) v2.0.
Although not strictly part of the above sets
» BKTun v1.2a) Provided I do find an artist or two; and are given permission; I intend to add tunnel portals matching 8-bit OpenGfx Base Graphics (Landscape).
That should about cover it ...
This topic is now open for discussions and your suggestions are welcome. If they cannot be implemented, they will certainly be considered again for implementation in the Canadian Theme Pack.
EDIT: added BK Enhanced Tunnels to the mix and a further item to CanSet.
