Only spring and autumn images are truely mutually exclusive, but seasonal transitions are slow enough as they are, without Simutrans having to load the images in and out of RAM. I wrote "normally", because in sandbox game without timeline, you can actually end up using all images at once, in theory. But when zooming out, it broke down due to the sheer number of individual, though small, images to draw.) (Though my first attempt at getting Simutrans to use OpenGL would actually run fairly well with fewer and bigger tiles. That rendering 2560x1440 without hardware acceleratation is a problem is unrelated to the tile size. Since Transport Tycoon had (I assume) 64圆4 images on 640x480 display, 256x256 images on todays 2560x1440 displays would give you the same view of the world, except for what was lost vertically going from 4:3 to 16:9, just with smoother graphics. Actually, drawing half as many images that are twice as large, could actually be faster, depending on how things go with the caches. If you double the size (area) of each image, there will also be only half as many images on screen, so it cancels out. The bottleneck should not be the size of the images, but the total number of pixels to draw on screen. I thought OpenTTD had much more trouble with their graphics than simutrans.

I hope it doesn't cause their community the distress that money can.Īnd although I don't particularly like the style I saw, it does look nice, and I know if it happens, it'll make for some happy OTTD players. Sounds like they have a lucky setup - one guy who already was contributing to the project. That all being said - I wish OTTD the best of luck. (But I'm glad not to need donations again, too.) Well, except for donations toward the server during hard times, although I definitely didn't make any money from that. At least right now, anyone who has contributed knows that nobody has gotten money out of the deal. I have a feeling that once money gets involved, though - feelings get hurt quickly. Or if someone rendered things in a SimCity 4 like way. I really wish we'd gotten a full set of that look. We have some great artists out there and I love a lot of the paks - but I have to admit that I miss Raven and the Blender stuff. IMHO, 192x192 is about the largest I'd ever want to see - and when I play it, I usually play zoomed out (but it's nice to zoom in - and the cartoony style makes it work nicely imho). Although it falls short in some features compared to its rivals, it is still a highly recommended program, as it offers very versatile and flexible design tools, and features that can be useful for any DIY project you want to start.I think there was a 256x256 test pak for Simutrans at one point. In summary, Silhouette Studio will be an essential program in your arsenal if you plan to use Silhouette machines for your design projects. It is also recommended to have an internet connection to update the program and access the Silhouette Design Store. Silhouette Studio is compatible with Windows 8.1 and later versions (up to Windows 11), and requires a minimum of 4 GB of RAM, a 2 GHz processor, 2 GB of free storage space, and a USB 2.0. In addition, the program is available in Spanish and other languages, so you won't get lost in the process. If all the functions it includes were not enough, Silhouette Studio is also compatible with SVG files (vector graphics), so if you already have your design created in that format, you just have to open it and send it to the machine. A very powerful program with low requirements It also offers a wide range of pre-installed fonts, and allows you to import images and convert them into cuttable designs. You can draw your own designs to print and cut with a compatible Silhouette machine or simply access their free content library in the Silhouette Design Store, where you can download pre-made designs. Like other programs from the company, Silhouette Studio is also a powerful application that has very intuitive design tools that will help you stimulate your creative freedom. The brand is famous for selling precision machines, programs, digital content, and materials for anyone interested in working on crafts, decoration, and DIY projects. Silhouette America is a company of graphic design and DIY that manufactures electronic cutting tools and other products related to the sector known as "do-it-yourself".
