Hi .. I changed the loading and unloading chutes and platform .. hope everyone likes the idea. The platform to unload stock and the chutes been separated so can have choice separate them like I have done in pic, or you can put them side by side and look simular to before. Attachment:

You could be right .. animals would stand out better .. only reason I not included horses in the pens if the brown horses could not be seen. I just had a quick go at changing the colours .. would you think this be better? I changed 2 of the darkest colours to 2 lighter colours. I'll put this suggestion on both sites and see what feed back I get. Attachment:

IMO it contrasts better.  Plus you could also use the darker ones to add some darker patches where mud is wet. [ Just like here:   ]

I not sure if my artistic skills that good  One thing I have been experimenting with it the fence colours. black and dark grey makes them stand out and might be suitable for these days as many timber fences where coated in a sump oil or simular to stop termites eating the timber. I been experimenting with the idea make them weathered timber look so they have a old look. About the only reason I haven't done them is there are lots of post and railings to do. Forgot to mention: The dark small pixels that can been seen in the pens is a fertilizer factory at work _________________ All my projects are GPLv2 License. Soot Happens.

Been playing with some dirt and mud and managed to make some alterations to the Livestock Pens. Couldn't draw the dog in the mud .. just a wee bit too difficult .. but did manage to put mixture of dried dirt with wee mud patchers. Attachment:

Just maybe I could have left some empty pens dry dirt as if not been used for a while. I shall ponder on that idea. _________________ All my projects are GPLv2 License. Soot Happens. Projects: viewtopic.php?f=179&t=811

Been asked to add some more farm objects such as Vineyards.
At moment to trial the idea I used the hedges from Farm Objects .. and I think they look very good for grape vines .. not much changes needed except maybe a few fence posts.

Started another idea Fake Roads that connect with the UK style roads. Great for those who like to make towns a bit more realistic. Unfortunately vehicles will not travel on them. If anyone like to try these Fake Roads here verion 7 of Roadside objecyts. Attachment:

The Fake roads also have X-Junctions and connect to main roads at a angle. I hope not to do any more coding for rest of week .. I intend to enjoy some game play with what I done to date. Cheers _________________ All my projects are GPLv2 License. Soot Happens. Projects: viewtopic.php?f=179&t=811

Keep basket (tennis) court as it is. 1x1 is ugly. (Forget the comparison with the soccer stadium. You could make an object or an industry in proper scale.)

I had a go at a 1 x 1 basketball court and this is the result .. Attachment:
basketball.png [ 4.54 KiB | Viewed 8236 times ]
.. think it looks ok but not as good as the 2 x 1. You just made me realise something .. I forgot to backup last nights work and I just saved over the larger basketball courts  Now have to do them again.  _________________ All my projects are GPLv2 License. Soot Happens.
