Pak128.Britain: Busses (now getting artwork)

[jamespetts]

Yes, I've noticed that: I have updated my copy as well. I shall have to do the translations when I get around to it - there are bugs to fix with Simutrans-Experimental, and lorry timelines to do, too! Ahh, if only time could be extended to fit our purposes...

Translations aren't a priority - I can do them once I've done all the graphics for the next release if you haven't done it by then.

Given that my original coach timeline was not very complete, I thought that I'd fill in by re-colouring some of the existing 'buses and making their coach versions. Attached are images of (1) the coach version of the RF; and (2) the coach version of the long Routemaster (using the original green - I produced a red version to act as the 'bus type). I have modified my copies of the .dat files accordingly (the original RF actually had the number of seats for the coach, not the 'bus version, so I have modified that, too). Would you like the .dat/png files?

Yes, can you send them to me?  Can I ask how you did them? Pixel painting?  If so you have more patience than me!

[jamespetts]

Sent.

No, not pixel painting - using The GIMP, I selected the 'buses with the wand tool (select by blue, medium to low threshold), and simply adjusted the hue/saturation sliders (the saturation needed to be increased when going from green to red, and decreased when going from red to green). I certainly don't have the patience to push pixels, either!
