This is a new one to me. Which game are you using (OpenTTD, New Map Features or tracerestrict) ?

I did a fresh install using the latest OpenTTD-REBASED-r27339-g478eec70-Win32... It says here at the near bottom that only 59 newgrfs can be added to a new game...

Still, in my previous experiment with OpenTTD I'm pretty sure I added at least 63 newgrf's... :?

That is cirdan's New Map Features. Good. 8-)
Thanks for that link. :W I was not aware of that limit, but then I never got close to it in my games. I doubt that the OTTD devs ever imagined that anybody would ever reach it. Can you PM to me a list of the GRF's that you have used?

Actually, you have the list inside the openttd.cfg that I attached in my previous post... look at the line; [preset-Innovatia 2nd] at the near end... :P

A solution that would give me some new slots is to simply combine my three latest eye candy grf's;

53541101|8D9C07CEC0609EE754B7040C31738671|infra_streets1x1_p1.grf
53541119|FCF5B2E1406BC374C113C2D2E5914281|infra_streets1x1_p2.grf
53541129|9275A13BC69674898866D93B3854FF56|infra_streets1x1_p3.grf =

Combined into INFRA Streets1x1.gr

53441101|3E2397532428AB013862B22EDBB396E5|infra_green1x1_p1.grf
53441119|4201D77058BC82C4F2DC0294AFBA6DC3|infra_green1x1_p2.grf
53441129|9CF044DD9054F863295D5AA8A1671999|infra_green1x1_p3.grf =

Combined into INFRA Green1x1.grf

53531101|468BC5948EDE83D73FF7C821A19983F8|infra_public1x1_p1.grf
53531119|0CF00C874FE13FF77523DFAC5134415C|infra_public1x1_p2.grf =

Combined into INFRA Public1x1.grf

535A1101|A3BCCCCD580262CBB301C9C4E595B21F|infra_mtime1x1_p1.grf
535A1119|D23A77E179FDBA790D3072382CEB603C|infra_mtime1x1_p2.grf
535A1129|9CD3E858C0BE056C07CCBB31CC965E87|infra_mtime1x1_p3.grf =

Combined into INFRA Mtime1x1.grf

This would reduce the numer of 11 .grf's down to 4 .grf's, freeing up 7 slots altogether...

Still, I know you're busy with so many other things right now, but it's something that could be added to your to-do-list perhaps... :oops:

Not sure how much work is involved to add P2 and P3 into P1 and simply extend it...

Yes, it will probably be at least a couple of weeks before I am able to start in on these.
Cobining them is very possible.
I would suggest looking at your EC/ec grfs too to see if any of them can be combined into the infra_ groups.
You can organize all this stuff whlle waiting for me to have some openings in my schedule. ;)
Lots of work for you, but now is the time to do it.
Do you want to return to real life yet? :twisted:
:mrgreen:

Realized that Zimmlock's airport in TTRS3 doesn't work too well in OpenTTD with its different layouts, and the only way to solve it was to simply remake some of the stuff to work - or at least for the time being... I need to make some new tiles altogether and at least replace the "office building" as it's based on a model I found... but I'll get there...

Learned from Athanasios today that Vetteman06 over at TT-forums has made his own airport patch, and while I use Cirdan's NMF-patch for my OpenTTD game, I'm unable to use also Vetteman06's... still, in my opinion an airport patch becomes truly useful the day it's possible for a player to decide about the layout himself/herself, but with that said, it's an interesting patch nevertheless... perhaps something for Cirdan to add to his "to-do-list"... :P

Anyway, moving further with my projects... :)

Mind that those tall cypresses and flags are a big NO for airport runways! Plus the TTD width of the runway vs the width of the airplane sprites-length is another sad story.

This is because I'm using TTDP's base graphics which originally has the antenna - but since it's completely redrawn in my game there's this park tile instead... :P Anyway, considering the "silly" layout of these OTTD airports I'm not entirely sure a big ugly antenna works too well either...

As for the runway lengths, totally agree... but I have my own sets of airport graphics to add - at least for the visual appearance... :mrgreen:

It sure is... :P

And speaking of graphics issues, also noticed that oil cisterns aren't drawn in a correct way, see examples below and compare with the ones from the INFRA project and you'll see the problem;

All of of them are wrong: Height should be ~1/2 of width.
ISR: 16/38
DWE: 17/38
>>>>: 19/38 ;)
INFRA: 21/38
Your choice might be out of personal taste (aka to minimize the distortion-but it is too much-IMO 20/38 is enough), but ISR and DWE are completely unacceptable.

BTW: The shell logo at that position looks flat. Here is a quick try to explain what I mean (OK, in my haste I went 1 pixel up):

You're right there, I've changed mine to 20/38... :)

Continuing my OpenTTD introduction and one of the biggest tasks have been to prepare all the ECS.grf's available, like removing the snow for when - and if - a snowline is introduced in OpenTTD temperate climate, which in my case means rocks... and while I use the TTDPatch version of base sets in my OpenTTD-game, George's ECS.grf's are updated to version 1.2 - and for OpenTTD only, meaning I can't use the ones I have in my TTDP-game...

Anyway, while preparing I also I figured I should do something about some of the ECS-graphics included that has always bothered me, the printing works for instance;

I'm a bit unsure whether or not I should get rid of the front building or if I should let it stay - even though it's updated... :?

Cool work! :W
The front building: Nice artwork but the skinning needs tweaking. It always bothered me. So don't drop it-fix it!

OpenTTD itself raised the NewGRF limit in either 1.4.0 or 1.5.0. It's possible that Cirdan's fork has not yet updated this. It should be trivial to edit the source code and recompile. While Muzzly's original patch probably won't work, you can still read it to find which files and lines to edit.

I assume you're talking about the Printing Work right? And you do realize that the second building displayed, the white one, is a replacement for the original Printing Works in ECS? :P Or do you mean that my new graphics needs more work?

Interesting Kamnet - and thanks... I'll at least bring it up with Cirdan... :)
