I'm probably going to be busy for the next month, so I can't work on the dat files and images, but here are the high quality image sources. They only need to be shrunk to 50% size to work with 128 tile size. feel free to use these for your pak files.

all the freight cars are the same length, except the blue/orange autorack. eurostar2 is longer than the other passenger trains.

I would just like to mention that there is a very light line, just off from the invisible colour around the maglev stuff. you will get a ring around it similar to the one in the picture below

ah, yes, when resizing, do 'nearest neighbour' or 'no smoothing'.

I'll probably get time to work on the images early next week.

in photoshop, open two copies of the image in the original size.
Magic wand must be set to 'tolerance: 0', uncheck 'antialias', and uncheck 'contiguous'.

1st copy: do background from layer, remove the background colour in the image (the 231,255,255 cyan) then do resize, 50%, bicubic.
2nd copy: do resize, 50%, nearest neighbour.
now copy the bicubic resized one over the nearest neighbour. Select the simutrans special colour with magic wand on the nearest neighbour layer, then select the bicubic layer and delete the excess spill over. Set the Bicubic layer on top of the nearest neighbour layer. Now flatten the image.

This should give sharp edges with no 'halo', yet have a smooth image for the rest.

here is my unofficial version.

I think I put the notes in the wrong place, should be in the main directory instead of the sources sub folder.
oh well  :P


autoracks should be good for official.
