07:30:56 <reldred> that would be hilarious, add a maglev, but make it the most absolutely dogshit useless piece of crap ever
07:31:38 <reldred> it's not what I want (I'd like something like the maglev that was in NARS up til 2.03), but it would be hilarious, so I support it.
07:35:03 <andythenorth> just maglevs and crap
07:48:30 *** fairyflossy has joined #openttd
07:48:30 <fairyflossy> Aluminum Donkey for Maglevs, Monorails and similar stuff
07:51:54 <belajalilija> andythenorth: Iron Trochilidae
08:30:52 <andythenorth> I just don’t like the maglev track sprites 🙃
08:31:06 <andythenorth> Think it should be elevated
08:31:28 <andythenorth> But that’s implausible in game 🙂
08:32:24 * LordAro elevates andythenorth
08:35:25 <reldred> eh, I just imagine it's sc maglev at ground level and built massive bridges or tunnels to clear everything.
08:35:57 <reldred> Most of the actual sc maglev's bridges are completely covered too to cut down on the obnoxious sound of them smashing air going into tunnels/etc.
08:36:18 <reldred> and then the majority of the line is underground 🙁
08:46:29 <andythenorth> Invisible maglev?
09:27:28 <andythenorth> but a different version
09:27:47 <andythenorth> there's only one of those in the grf right now, and it's nice to have 2 of each
09:35:40 <emperorjake> Maybe something that looks like a 385?
10:02:13 <notluke2578> Is this not just an electric voyager
11:52:46 <andythenorth> the nimbus is a bi-mode voyager yes
11:53:45 <andythenorth> the unit family I keep thinking of drawing and then avoiding is IEP (800, 801, 802 etc) - Azumas etc
11:56:02 <andythenorth> I haven't drawn an 800-ish thing, because I see a lot of them IRL, and they're particularly long and sleek in a way that is hard to capture in sprites
11:57:10 <andythenorth> I'm not bothered about scale, but I can't draw a sprite until I can figure out the overall character (slim, hench, stubby, hulking, pointy, square etc)

13:51:20 <talltyler> andythenorth: I really like you treat train sprites like character art 🙂
13:52:49 <talltyler> To me, the 800-ish trains feel like tubes with rounded noses. Almost like a Series 0 Shinkansen. Not sure if that helps with sprites though.

20:12:18 <praime3172> Hello, I don't really understand what openTTDLab is compared to OpenTTD, and I don't understand exactly how to use it. When I clone the OpenTTD project from GitHub, does that give me access to openTTDLab at the same time, or do I need to do something else?
20:26:20 <andythenorth> what is openTTDLab?
20:26:30 <andythenorth> what do you want to do with it?
20:31:05 *** asymptotically2 has quit IRC (Ping timeout: 480 seconds)
20:32:51 *** asymptotically2 has joined #openttd
20:43:31 <andythenorth> ok this new Horse train, what shall I call it?
20:43:47 <andythenorth> mostly I don't use IRL names
20:55:30 <andythenorth> ach Iron Horse has zero trains with their IRL actual names
20:55:34 <andythenorth> some foamer names
20:55:40 <andythenorth> Aurora would be a really good fit, but nope
20:57:25 <Wolf01> Did you try with animal names like Lamborghini does with bulls?
21:03:16 *** goddess_ishtar has joined #openttd
21:03:16 <goddess_ishtar> andythenorth: Borealis?
21:04:24 <goddess_ishtar> why are we adding this, again? is it just an alternate Nimbus?
21:06:37 <andythenorth> I'm motivated to draw the sprite
21:09:10 <andythenorth> let's use Borealis, thanks
21:09:20 <goddess_ishtar> you're welcome
21:38:56 <reldred> goddess_ishtar: charge licensing fees
21:40:07 <goddess_ishtar> I was trying to be polite
21:44:04 <goddess_ishtar> andythenorth: yes
21:45:38 *** Zathras_4 has joined #openttd
21:50:45 <andythenorth> oops now I have to draw the sprites :|
21:57:38 <andythenorth> it looks less like a confused duck
22:06:44 <squirejames> andythenorth: It's like LoversLab except, you know, trains ? 😛
22:09:31 <andythenorth> I am not going to search that
22:09:37 <andythenorth> I fear what I will find
22:44:21 *** Wolf01 has quit IRC (Quit: Once again the world is quick to bury me.)
23:04:07 *** Flygon_ has quit IRC (Remote host closed the connection)
23:25:22 <talltyler> I find myself wanting to suggest some play on Azuma, maybe Zoomer, but that’s too silly
23:26:11 <talltyler> I didn’t realize the 810 was different than the rest, well spotted 🙂
continue to next day ⏵
