With several big projects on the desk I took the time to finish an update of Zimmlocks previous airport from his TTRS3-set. It's a more modern - or different if you wish - version of the airport, and while I decided to keep some of the original shapes, I have at least made some differences to them. The aircrafts are from the AV8, but I have given them a new design, sort of presenting the airway company of Innovatia, Innova Air... :P

Additionally I also removed the flashing lights on the runways, as I find them annoying. Instead I have replaced them with some bright yellow dots, which in game works just the same - or even better... :twisted:

:mrgreen: 36! Just one of the runway extensions... Don't want to waste too many additional objects on such things... :twisted:

I wonder why there exists such a low limit for objects. Wally can you provide some insight?

I think that the 255 limit was set to conserve memory (I may be wrong) but there is a workaround. ;)
The newobject menu has 3 view options: 1, 2 and 4.
The 2 and 4 view options allow for 2 or 4 object images.
This was to allow for alternate views (n-s and e-w, etc.) of the same object, however, one does not have to use the same object for the alternate view.
The 2 view and 4 view options each count as only one object.
So what this means is that if your newobject GRFs consist only of the 4 view options, you can extend the 255 limit to 4 x 255 = 1020. 8-)
Note that this can only be done when coding the GRF, but if you are designing some newobjects, instruct your coder to only use the 4 view option.

On a related note, I experimented and found that 4096 objects can be placed on your map.

I had an idea as part of my ongoing UK project, to create new airports which reflect the UK airports while still keeping to the current available state machines.

Whos map? Mine or Athanosios? :twisted:

And by objects I assume you mean everything from NewObjects to town sets and the sort?

Afaik, OTTD has no object limit, you could fill every tile with new objects if you wished.

Yeah, and that's another very big advantage to say the least! Getting more and more confused here... :)

the only setback of OTTD for you SAC is the lack of Custom BridgeHead Support in any patch or trunk, rest can usually be found in patches as well as you could for TTDP

Well I mean NewObjects, but apparently sometimes TTDX treats items found in other types of GRFs as objecs and these might count against the total.

This would be excellent. :bowing: Perhaps you could open the largest OTTD map possible and give it a test. ;)

Excellent idea Wally! What are you waiting for Leanden? A Leanden Edition perhaps... :P

But I believe there's a CBH patch for OTTD... ;)

Ive got a 2048x2048 map open atm which has considerably more than 255 objects placed. Using Dutch Road Furniture with hardshoulders and middle gangways stretching the full length of the map.

Ah ... but 255 is not the limit to how much can be placed on the TTDP map (4096). It is the limit to how many newobjects can be coded for placement. ;)

You got it right!

Come and see our house. Little George's hobby is to place more than 256x4 objects on the floor daily!

I see that you have redone two of the airports. Have you re-done the rest of them?

You mean the airports in Innovatia? If so, no. This is just a shot taken from that game to show the changes on Zimmlocks original airport designs. Unless of course I got it wrong and you mean the airports available also when using OTTD? :?:

I guess both. I realize the two airports that I've seen were modified versions of Zimlock's airports, I didn't know if that was just lovely NewObject eyecandy or if you coded them into a NewGRF airport replacement.

Nope, they haven't been coded yet, but as I have full permission to use Zimmlocks stuff, it'll be part of future releases of INFRA. :)

I'd be interested to see how your airport sprites look in OTTD. Zimmlock's original sprites don't work at all well with OTTD's extra airports...
