New Element's Object Crew; a project for the conversion and correction/improvement of the most commonly used RCT objects to the .parkobj format.
Goals:
- Convert the most commonly used DAT objects to the new .parkobj format
- Add corrections, completions, and consistency to the objects (cursors, buy/sell price, etc.)
- Add simpler naming conventions and translations
- Complete missing objects from previous sets of objects (base blocks for all textures, all wall heights)
- Create objects for commonly used trackitecture
- Create additional useful objects from NCSO textures/object basis.
Walls:
- Add slopes to all the wall objects
- We decided on 1 pixel thickness for all the walls
- Complete missing heights of certain textures
Doors/Windows:
- Current plan is the following format for each wall texture/color: A. Square door (opens/closes) B. Alternate door (portcullis, steel door?) B. Square window (based on NCSO) (shutters open/close) C. Alternate window (specific to texture) (shutters open/close)
- Arches (round) for each texture/color
- Decide if arches should have colorable frame
Fences:
- Current plan is the following format for each fence type: A. 1 height fence B. 2 height fence C. 2 height fence with gate (opens/closes?)
- Likely will need to correct any sloped images of CSO fences
Roofs: (Undecided)
Foliage:
- Add different views for useful CSO shrubs with automatic rotation
- Make trees colorable and automatically rotate
- Any custom flower objects should be able to wither
Theming Objects:
- Some theming may be useful to automatically rotate
- Correct some colorable theming objects (e.g. barrels too dark)
- Proposing some generic sign options
Trackitecture:
- Current brainstorm is to add monorail, steeplechase
- Wooden track for catwalks vs. 4d catwalks; (would want turns to have catwalks too)
Supports/Rides:
- Have to decide on B&M supports vs classic pipes
- If classic style supports, thick slanted support needs improved
- Decide on footer style?
- Some additional ride detail objects would be useful (e.g. control box)
Landscaping:
- Proposing 1/4 and diagonal 1/4 white water
- Full tile land blocks for all textures?
- Correct old 1/4 land blocks to not have grid
