Re: Brno BVE Website
From a driving position it looks OK to me.

Re: Brno BVE Website
Another piece of work started today - it is called "the piazza project". I hope I willl be able to provide some screens tomorrow.
Re: Brno BVE Website
Man, haven't you learnt how to read text or what...
Anyway, this one might be crunchy as well.

Re: Brno BVE Website
Well, that gravel on the track bed looks good enough to be crunchy! Excellent work.
(Oh, and NO olives, please!)

Re: Brno BVE Website
Thanks. Well, I have promised the screenshots to arrive yesterday, but there was an administrative problem I had to deal with. So here the screens go now (no olives included, Gray ):
The train passing by:
A bus taking a break before going back on its city route again:
An empty bus stop with a seat, info pole and ticket machine:
An overal view of the terminus:
Over to you, Gray... and everyone else, of course
Re: Brno BVE Website
Superb! Excellent detail.
I see the track appears not to be fenced off. Is that allowed in the CR? All rail tracks must be fenced by law in the UK, and Ireland too (with the odd exception - the train runs up the street at Wexford).

Re: Brno BVE Website
Thanks, I spent a lot of time on tuning the photos up - even the bus station poles are different from each other, one for getting of at the terminus, the other one for getting on.
Actually there are tracks running freely along fields, aside from streets in cities etc. here, so I suspect that either it is allowed, or nobody cares. Either way, it is dangerous...
I might consider putting something in there, it is not yet 100% finished. I was trying a new approach in route building - the whole bus terminus is one *.animated object, to which I was adding the needed components. It is much faster than reloading the whole route. And once you have the object created in one of your folders, you can access it from anywhere, so it is good to avoid duplicate structures as well.
Re: Brno BVE Website
I have used .animated files as "containers" too. Great for "passing trains". It's also convenient when you want common files but different functions. Example, take an automated crossing. The barriers and lights will mostly all be the same. Road and fence combinations may differ. And you may have differing trigger distances dependant on line speed. It's quick to knock up the variants using .animated.
Re: Brno BVE Website
Amazing! But is kofola still available in the CR? When I visited the old CSSR in the seventies this stuff made me switch to beer....

Of course it is, being manufactured in Krnov, it is being sold in the vast majority of Moravia and some parts of Bohemia as well. I myself quite like it.

Re: Brno BVE Website
Your screenshots look lovely, Derryck- there must be an artist inside you.
One improvement might be shadows of items such as posts, seats, walls etc. Could such shadows be made by placing a semi-transparent horizontal plane under each object?

Hypothetically speaking, yes, it is possible of course. But please read also the last part of the answer
It is not only framerates, Gray. Making a static shadow or two is not that hardware demanding, as long as its absolute position stays the same.graymac wrote:Oh, God!!! The frame-rates!!!!
Let's take another point of view, though:
Static shadows can be of some use in openBVE; as long as we take one ride through the scenery, which seems more static than dynamic to us. The question, that arises, is how to create these shadows. Imagine that every object has to have a specific one, since a pole, for example, has a different shape than a bench.
Now, if we take this into consideration, there are two ways of creating a shadow for any object - either putting it directly to the object file (the same applies for a *.b3d, *.csv, and *.animated), or putting it separately. The first option is useless for vegetation, because once we make the same tree positioned 0.5 meters on Y coordinate in one place, and 0 meters on Y coordinate in the other place, one of the shadows would either be levitating, or buried in the ground and invisible. No good use.
Putting it separately would bring us hell with placing the shadow by writing it as a freeobj in the route file. You would have to do this for every single thing you place in your route. No good use it is again.
Apart from that, the shadows should at least be dynamic considering the daytime - they should rotate, shorten and extend based on the position of the Sun. It would be weird to travel at 1 pm and have a looooong shadow sufficient for morning, wouldn't it....
The only reasonable way of this working is that the render itself (the sim) creates shadows on its own, considering the Vertex position, transparency and at least daytime. Of course, "switch off" option would be a must for users with regular PCs.
Just my opinion though...

Re: Brno BVE Website
I have thought about the same problem, and I agree with you that the problem should be solved inside the simulator. Of course it should be possible to switch it off (cloudy or night).

Oh, and looking at the bus: those Czech roads must be very soft!

Not really. It is an old model alright, only a few last of those are still in operation. I would like to get hold of better textures, but that is almost impossible as there are only 5 or so left and they can operate anywhere in the city...
Re: Brno BVE Website
I do use static shadows on two very definite items. On bridges and on rolling stock. (Bridge shown here)

Yes, but that is most probably about it as for static shadows. The rolling stock, and some large objects that don't change positions and create almost the same shadow all the time... apart from rolling stock and bridges I can think of a tunnel portal or a bigger group of trees, for example...

OK, I didn't make myself clear enough. Your bus is placed too low on the surface, the wheels are buried halfway down the road. Lift it by, say, 0.5 metres and you're out of trouble!

Still, not really. The bus is placed correctly, you have to realize the sidewalk is laid higher than the road - especially on bus stops the bollard and consequently the whole sidewalk is risen to make getting on the bus easier. Check the picture, you'll see what I mean. The bollard height is 20 cm here...
