So... what do you think is the best colour variant... and what is still missing? I think the white is best, and consider adding one of these huge industrial lighting poles.
I think the beige/cream looks best
what is missing? maybe a slightly larger 'watch step' black and yellow striping?
I agree with AEO.
vs
The Photo looks good out!
Okay! Any further opinions now?
I am not sure if this is too empty, or empty enough for the purpose...
I think it looks great. The entrance for the ramp areas should be kept clean.
But, if you wanted to, boxes or pallets opposite the booth might not be bad.
Thanks :) This does look reasonably fitting, maybe... What next? Suggest a tile?
Actually, what kind of tile would need to be "high"? I think staying on the ground without artificial raising would be preferred for most installations. Only things that need connecting with (some types of) rail platforms require same height, sort of...
For the empty tiles?
Maybe some ISO containers, pallets of boxes, some trailers and fork lift?
Some sort of barrier, like a fence comes to mind, but I'm not sure how well that will work with the various tiles.
Yes, containers and crates are what I thought, too. Machinery to manipulate these sounds good, too.
Fences would be really ugly, or... dunno. Player would have to manually place the tiles in correct rotation. That is, if these were based on buildings, like this. They can be ways (like paths in pak96.comic). Of course using rotating buildings means I would have to paint only two 4-rotation tiles (straight & corner).
Still, I'd prefer to make items that an average player will find enjoyable in the basic package, without scratching his head too much what goes where and what combines with what. (Sources will be fully available so that this is an open option for others.)
Some containers... and maybe a crane ?
For exemple :
(http://www.imageshotel.org/images/atelier1728/sdc10342copie.jpg)
This one was built in 1901 !
I worked in one, but it was much more modern... and I never finished it :(
I think the containers were a bit too big, and there's a lack of light maybe...
Zeno
The Container crane on the Photo looks be nice out!
@ Zeno,
It's a pity for containers because it looks good !
Your idea is nice because she get a lot of realism.
@Gwalch
Good idea !
Go, Zeno, go! We can split the work :D
Heh... would you suggest smaller containers? I think the current ones (the ones in the station itself) are too small, I'd have done them a little bigger. Mine could be a bit smaller, that's true... maybe we can get to an arrangement though. Also I could repaint the station too with "new" containers on it. I'll look for the sources when I'm back at home tonight.
I will also look for other stations I may have... I can remember about steel and wood ones probably, but not sure.
Edit: This one I made for container was 2x3 big... probably a "small" version of 1x2 would be nice also. That old crane doesn't match containers, but could use some boxes or pallets instead for pre-1960 aprox.
The containers on station are probably these used on cars, too, thus < 1/2 tile. A compromise in size would be nice :)
I think they will be very near to 1/2 tile, which keeps being a bit small for me... Let me test it anyway and post some pics (an image is worthier than 1000 words! :P ).
Made some changes. Added more light and containers are now 0.8 times 1/2 tile.
Tilecutter only lets me cut the south direction, doesn't change the mask if I add another direction, so at the moment is single direction version (although I have sources for all 4 views). I'll check versions tomorrow, maybe there's an update out there.
while it looks rather good, building a crane that way wouldn't allow loading trains.
Is it possible to have the superstructure exceed the tile (I'm thinking of oversized planes) in a way to allow a platform tile be built below one side of the crane. The crane would run parallel to the rails. (I assume platform tiles can't be more than one tile wide.)
Some markings, for road vehicles and where containers may or may not be placed would look good on the concrete below the crane.
Yep, the crane should move along the rails, I know. But there's no way to do that in simutrans other than giving the user a puzzle set of different tiles to build each station :(
I think it looks great and surely don't want to spoil the fun but shouldn't it be better to make it look like the in this image?
Nothing can be (reliably) on one tile of station and anything else at once. (If that's what you mean.)
Shape of crane... I'm not expert :)
Actually my idea is to rotate the crane and cranetracks 90 degrees so that they come in parallel with the railtracks. The crane can then hover above the railtracks... IIRC there is also a harbourcrane (pak64?) with part of it hovering above the water.
containers must then be moved through te legs of the crane to the station. Maybe the legs should then be placed al little further apart.
Just an idea, but we could include a rail station in the extension, not usable of course, but would give a nice look to it. What do you think?

Sounds like the doorway to a full revamp of the cargo platforms and cargo station extensions. ;)
Well, got this one in mind, and a couple of simple rail/empty platforms with logs (wood) and planks/pipes (steel) on it, same style than ttd, that are already almost done. I always wanted to start such a project, but also always find the same difficulties: it's rather "easy" for me to create those models and have the renders done, but every time I have to open GIMP/other to finish the stuff (repair seams between platforms, etc) I always end giving up :(
Zeno: I am not sure about the tradeoff between "looking right" and "working right". It would be good to show clearly that the track is "off limits" for vehicles in some way (maybe put some wagons there?).
ӔO: Details? Most of the stations so far are definitely good, so I'm curious what improvements would you expect?
Probably AEO is talking about bumping this thread (http://forum.simutrans.com/index.php?topic=8968.msg83563#msg83563)again.
About the extension, I was thinking exactly that: some wagons stopped in a "terminal" rail, just below the crane. I'll test something probably tomorrow.
Why do not create 2 stucks for this addons ?
- One of 1 tile across the rail (number 1 in snapshot)
- One of several tiles for plateform storage of containers ? (number 2)
And why not use next part road plateform ? (number 3
I know : it will be difficult to arrange crane with front and back image.
vilvoh
has be make crans they be go over a Road and Track!
The problem mEGa, is that you need a minimum of 4 icons in the menu bar to build that station, plus a user manual in order let people know how to build the station properly. That's the problem. Creating the station graphics is not a problem itself, just a matter of hours.
Zeno said it better than me. BUT. GUYS, GUYS, DO YOU KNOW WHAT!?!
It is possible to create buildings with a hole in the middle, and you can build a station there! The screenshot shows a situation where all the 4 plain tiles are one building, and then a station is built through the empty space in the middle.
I will investigate how this works with front images, and if it is possible to stay with 128 as base tile size even for such "bridged" buildings.
This would mean one can create even truck terminals with the same crane, just build road in the middle instead of track :D
Awesome!
Actally it's something I've been wanting to test for ages, but never started...
The middle tiles could be - at ground floor and have an image from the second level up... or so I wanted to try...
Wow... let's make some tests then!
The only thing I have thought is to ask as extension the use of "macros" for buttons, I mean, a button that could be configured to build certain things in certain positions with some defined order: track+station+extension, that way wouldn't be necessary to change the current internal structure of stations (single tile) and extensions (multi tile).
edit: the problem though will be extending the crane over the "empty" hole in the building; we will need to increase the tile size of the structures, but having to cut the drawing with tilecutter I'm not sure whether that will be doable or not :-/
Oh, yeah, I knew about this years ago (and was pondering how to cope with it in TileCutter). Never got around to a solution, and as this shows it's not a particularly well used feature (until now?)
Zeno - oh, I tested this. Assuming:
a) the crane is always pictured in a position at the distant end from screen and
b) the facility is 3x3 or 4x4
Then, it is possible to use front-images of tiles on "second floor" and completely cover anything on the tiles inside. That's important, since they will have FrontImages, too, and these must be "overlayed" by something closer to screen.
The catch is that it will have to be a bridge crane. Well... it is theoretically possible to have a 3-piece, 2-hole structure, but that's stretching it a bit far IMHO.

Hah! i know you'd come up with a workaround, finding one of those brilliant ideas.
VS, that way one can also create overpasses over passenger stations. (you know those bridges the pax can get to stations!)
@greenling, i sent him a message
Also crane...

Lubak91
The Crane they you be Paint it´s Very great. :) :) :) :)
Wow... and that fits on one tile?
Anyway! Sorry to interrupt the awesome movie about all the cranes with a short commercial ;D
Road stations to go with the rest of "high tile" set. What stuff do you think could go there? IMHO they're a bit too narrow for any crates or machines... And I can think only of lamps and some stairs.
They look great. You're right with the objects, it's very narrow. Maybe some marks (paint) on the road could be nice, to indicate the stop place.
What about this?
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pallet_jack

And maybe some palettes (empty or with boxes), bags (grain), kegs (beer), and such stuff.
VS: Yes, on one tile...
Hi,
crane looks very good.
But imho, just a little too big for pak128 game ? See next snapshot :
(http://www.simutrans-france.fr.nf/lib/exe/fetch.php?media=fr:snapshot_crane_cs.jpg)
neighborhood industrial buildings are so small than crane. Compare too with high buidlings on the left... What do you mean about it ?
Lubak: The crane over railroad does not appear in menu. Perhaps some bug/typo in dat file?
Mega: Dock crane is simply big...

Ah sooooo. The pak with koleje (rail) is just rails for the crane at the side of the road...
I thought it would be the same crane but build over a railroad track - so I was looking in railroad menu...
Oh, yes... A big crane As I can see. Good, sincerily
May be it will be more suited for the harbour docks ?
For example : old cranes in Nantes harbour (France):

More... soon, but definitely not now :D
About the road stop:
Do you use my road pavement texture? (actually it's Raven's edited)...
You can get it in the xcf source. Or even better, no pavement at all, it'll uses the road's...
You can add some yellow/black stripes on the platform edge.
And you could add some markings on the road, like to tell where the trucks should pull out.

This is starting to look promising. I'm really anxious and looking forward seeing this in simutrans, and make some real tests :)
Ladies and gentlemen, I would like to report some good progress. A dream is coming true, slowly... You have a testing pak so that you can check it's not a fake :P Only one rotation so far, though.
Yay for VS!! Nice job! :)
Yes ! thanx VS
Well, it was (and still is) a joint venture, so don't forget that Zeno did all the graphics, I'm just a humble plumber and tile-cutter :)

While being absolutely amazing, I believe the shadows are a bit too dark, compared with the rest of the pakset (e.g. Zeno's ware storage extension used in the same preview)
You're right fabio, we took as reference the south image to calculate lights, but I should have used the north view, which is the one with more shadows. That way I would have ensured enough light for all views. We'll try to adjust that for the last run, thanks for reporting :)
It seems the crane progress stalled a bit :P
Meanwhile... how about this? Another important bit for the whole thing. Comments welcome!
Awesome idea!
It's something I wanted to do when I made the current bus stops, but failed to deliver a result...
Next will replace the present loading bay, I hope! ;)
maybe some white or yellow road markings for the loading bay?
or even a dead end loading bay.
Very good idea !
Can you show me what kind of markings and where they should be? I considered these, but I'm rather clueless...
Maybe zebra marks like those for some of my tram tracks...
Ummm... any idea, what keywords would be good for image searches?
'loading bay'
'loading zone'
'loading dock'
seem to give good results.
How about this?
Nice! That kind of markings are used commonly in Spain :)
Very nice. Obviously they need to be different if the tile is the farthermost, the middle one or the nearmost.
But the concept is great.
Really nice! :) But I'd make the painting on the road symmetrical - so that it looks equally well, when people use the "drive_left = 1" option.
So, umm... maybe final version of that truck station? Symmetrical marks etc.
https://dl.dropbox.com/u/63534647/road-cargo-stop.zip
Very nice! :thumbsup:
Just a few tips:
1) marks could be player color.
2) try to let a "hole" in the center of the stop, between the 2 loading bays. You might want to build this stop downtown (if you happen to have e.g. a supermarket there) and there might be a tram track. The tram is not supposed to stop there, but it can cross it, and the full pavement would hide the tracks.
1) What marks? Ground = blended, impossible. Edge = standardized to black & yellow. I can see why there should be payer colour, but... where? ???
2) Eh :-/ I thought BackImage is drawn before (under) ways... I'll see what can be done about this. But the middle just seems to be the right size for tram track :)
1) Ground. You can blend player color and then "repair" it using my tool. You can take a look at the parking lot extensions, where I painfully used kerb marks in player color ;)
2) It is not. Station "back" is painted above tram tracks. Also Tunnel entrance back. You can open a bug report, if you feel it's wrong... :runaway:
I put a small (1x3 tiles) version of a container crane together which could be used for smaller (end)stations...
martin
The Container cran in Photo looks good out.
Can you please post the Containtercran i will be test him.
OK, here it is. I coded it as an extension with no waytype assigned to it. You'll find it under "Special Construction Tools" menu
martin
thank you for the containercran!
i can now testing it.
I tested crane. Good art work.
Martin I have few suggestions :
1) complete pakset :
Why do not create another single plateform with just rail of crane and few waiting containers ? See yellow square in my screenshot ?
2) amelioration of crane design :
I suggest to you make an antialiazing pixel to break edge as I made in green square.
What do U mean about it ?

1) That's no problem to create. However I made it as a single extension to make it easy to use and to prevent an overcrowded "special contruction tools" menu. Maybe station extensions can get their own sub-menu from "special contruction tools" especially with more station-extensions in the making... Another thing to work out is how to group the related parts together in the menu.
@VS: Any opinion on this?
2) Antialiasing the edges is no problem. I'll look into that.
QuoteThe crane could have something in player colour?Good idea... May be in center of arm as a painted logo of firm ?
I'm not sure about a logo in player color since the player can choose from a lot of colors and not in all combinations the logo will stand out or look too great... A logo in itself is not the problem. Another option is to make the legs of the crane playercolor #1 and the beam playercolor #2. After all we can select two player colors.
I've done the antialiasing and repainted the containercrane in playercolours #1 and #2.
Cool.
Good work.
Fantastic! I am away for a few weeks, but you can commit, so feel free to go ahead.... ;)

The truck platform is still not ready... but will be.
And there's a ton of stuff from Zeno to go through...
I guess there is no denying I abuse ellipsis, so here you get at least one exclamation mark! For diversity!
:D
Doublepost, mwahaha! But something changed.
Current state of truck stop, on all roads and with all tram tracks. Please keep in mind that it is meant for asphalt roads, not dirt et al. IMHO it looks reasonable on 70 and 90 kph ones, where it is intended, and city roads too. But criticize anyway (as if you would not :P ).
screenshot:
https://dl.dropbox.com/u/63534647/hightruckstop-preview.png
(> 500 kB)
These stops look very nice. I thought we were never going to have an alternative to our beloved truck stop! :)
About my stuff, I'll have to take some control of it, really. IIRC we decided it's not still the correct color on the tiles, so it was needed to render again those cranes. Next week I hope to have a little more spare time for it.
Nice, although I would personally use the "standard" asphalt (i.e. the one used in city roads)within the loading bay marks (leaving only the central stripe for trams which happen to pass). Like this it looks fabulous on asphalted roads (and cobblestone as well), but it's quite ugly on dirt roads, gravel roads and the like.
Another thing: middle sections of the stop should have the stripes edited to have a seamless pattern, instead of starting and ending straight (which is great for start and end) and zig-zagging only in the middle of the tile.
(Something like the bus stops)
Also the straight lines should be 1.5 px thick (for consistency with all the other road marks), using a px of a darker player color shade.
Hmmm. I will see what can be done about this... the list finally seems manageable ;)
So... There is a conflict. With or without asphalt included in the part with stripes?
* Without: Breaks on gravel, dirt and unknown number of potential add-ons, due to smaller width.
* With: Potentially visually clashes with different colour of roads. Not "just a ramp" any longer.
Which price do you like better / wish to pay?
A couple of author's notes, so that you understand the situation better:
Originally, I envisioned this as a piece for heavy industrial stations outside cities. It matches the structures intended for railway. For industrial settings, I expected the two asphalt roads, and tried to optimize for these. In my aesthetic view, tram tracks or dirt roads have nothing to do around this. That the sidewalk fits is a nice coincidence, since all roads share the same dimensions of driving area. I am currently contemplating another road, to match all the pieces, which would have very bright surface compared to these, and might work great with this. Adding a solid piece of road would mean another choice, this time between dark asphalt ant the hypothetical lighter surface. Either way, the result ill not look so well in the other setting.
Still, it is impossible to tell people what to do with this in game, so all Fabio's points cannot be dismissed. So I am torn. I have my perfect idea how this should work and look, but it seems impossible to have.
As far as I'm concerned, I don't care how you do it. Everything you've done looks far better than the little blue or whatever color box we have now.
I'll chime in with some thoughts:
The conflict with soil/dirt roads isn't really an issue as I don't think anyone will be building a modern road freight terminal on a dirt road. It's possible, I guess, and anyone can do it if they want, but if the player is in the least bit concerned about aesthetics, they won't do it. (and if they don't care how it looks, they can do what they want!).
What I think would be the best solution to the issue with the paint on the ground is to select a fairly "neutral" shade of pavement and put it inside the paint marks on the road. Pick a colour that works well with more player color selections. Certain road types might clash a little bit with the colour, but if you pick a neutral shade of medium grey, I don't think it will be too bad. Maybe develop a couple of different shades and we can test them and see what the best selection is.

just keep the ground transparent as it is now.
I have collected the arguments for "no asphalt":
- Dirt road is always present, but unsuitable for most vehicles
- Gravel ends in 1930 and is replaced by first asphalt, which is more expensive to build but otherwise superior.
- Bus stops don't have asphalt under them either.
- "Age 2" bus stops add stripes on road in 1950, and these fail with gravel and dirt too.
- While not said here (yet?), this version is definitely for 20th century, not all-time.
To top that list, I'll just steal the stripes from bus stops :P
So! Where do I put something player coloured on this, so that it still tiles well?
Preview with asphalt which will not be present in final rendering:

Stripes © Fabio :)
Why not in place of yellow lines on road ?
I thought about this, but... same reason as for warning marks on edge. Have you ever seen them green or violet? They are always white or yellow...
How about coloured bands on the crates? Or maybe player colour bollards?
Color stickers on the crates? In real life logistics companies would put their own stickers on the crates they haul.
Also a sign for the loading zone, like one of these: www.google.com/search?q=loading+zone+sign&btnG=&tbm=isch
As fabio suggests I also think that a sign would be nice. Probably the PC should be drawn in the extension building next to the stop (there will be one, won't it?), although a sign would also be nice.
A sign at start of stop sounds like what it needs... back to GIMP! :)
This seems rather inobtrusive, but maybe not strong/large enough to be seen? Normal road signs are twice as big.

I think it's great... can't wait to add it to my games!
That sign is large enough. A few pixel are enough to identify a stop when one is looking for it. It doesn't have to flash with player colour.
It looks quite good now.

The cargo stop is nice, very good work!, but it isn't a "cargo-type" stop (It doesn't show the cargo symbol under the stop name in the stop information window), so it doesn't receives goods if you don't put an extension or something else. Can you change that?

*VS's boxy platforms*
This made me remember a very old extension request (or random idea?) by which we suggested that platforms could display less or more passengers according to how crowded or empty it would be. For example, if the platform has no passenger waiting, the game would display an empty platform; if full, a "packed" platform would be displayed.
I prefer various style (second picture); more realistic imho.

Both photos are good!
Some fun with lights. If built next to each other, they will tile (for lack of better term). But it looks like a forest of lamps :(
Anyway, do you think a "bit" like this would be useful only with crates? I may add the lamps to plain tile instead, at decreased frequency...
PS: I want it to rotate well on its own and be timeless, hence rather conservative approach to what could be there.
Cool idea. A bit too crowded with the lamps, however. Perhaps just two lamps (bottom two (south and east one)?) per tile instead of four?
Yes the lamps make a little problem.
To feed discussion about lamp.
I mean it's better if they are two placed only in line on middle of platform.
