Getting there fatleaf. I personally think it might look better without the logo 'O', in other words just plain white text for the 'FOosters'. Also there is some obviously dark blue behind the first 'O' and the 'S' which stands out against the patterned background.
I do like the slogan a lot, though, and in un-related news, love the new (still alcoholic) Avatar. :D

I replaced the "F" with a resized Fer de Lance NG. So I get an "F" in it in some fashion. Am I getting there?
The slogan's good, although you could try splitting the line after "times":

some of the best times
you'll never remember

If you can fiddle it to make the lines the same length, and the same width as the "Fooster's" too, that all helps balance it up!

That rocket of yours rocks mate. You could always release it as an addon to people who like different roof billboards on their constores.

I like yours a lot better than the one Oodles store has now actuall, and the jamesons bar ad is cool too.

Ran into this also which is quite funny actually... Something I would see in the land Downunder where theres an abundance of warning signs...

Does anyone have this problem and if yes, how did you fix it or where can you download a patch if it has already been released ?

That effect is new to me - looks like it's missing a texture (as the shader is correctly colouring the rest of the store) but I can't help more than that.

Thanks for the feedback on the rocket - after your reskinning of the Cobby 3's I'm grateful for the comments.

Love the road sign! Nice find.

Nope!

I'm unfamiliar with the RL(tm) brand it parodies.

Does it scale OK down to 256x128?

Atlas Copco : Here http://www.classzero.com/industries_applications.html

yes it scales down pretty good. Its a leader in compressed air applications for the industry.

I found a little bug in the last release of the YAH_set_G where the constore would not show its full texture near the entrance (like my screenshot earlier in this thread and the one below for good reference)

The solution explained to the curious:

I use Dreamweaver 8 to edit the shipdata.plist file of set F and G and compared them.
Around line 470 in the G set shipdata file you will see this code, which shows the faulty Constore:

Code: Select all

shaders =         {
            "yah_griff_station_bottom.png" =             {
                "fragment_shader" = "yah_griff_station_bottom_section.fragment";
                textures =                 (
                    "yah_griff_station_bottom.png",
                    "yah_griff_station_paint_mask.png"
                );
                uniforms =                 {
                    DecalColor =                     {
                        type = vector;
                        value = "1.0 1.0 0.0";
                    };
                    MainhullColor =                     {
                        type = vector;
                        value = "0.0 0.0627 0.6471";
                    };
                    "hull_heat_level" = hullHeatLevel;
                    uTime = universalTime;
                };
                "vertex_shader" = "ahruman-generic.vertex";
            };
        };


replace the code above with the amended code below to make the constore show up ingame as it should.

Code: Select all

shaders =         {
            "yah_griff_station_bottom.png" =             {
                "fragment_shader" = "yah_griff_station_bottom_section.fragment";
                textures =                 (
                    "yah_griff_station_bottom.png",
                    "yah_griff_station_paint_mask.png"
                );
                uniforms =                 {
                    DecalColor =                     {
                        type = vector;
                        value = "1.0 1.0 0.0";
                    };
                    MainhullColor =                     {
                        type = vector;
                        value = "0.0 0.0627 0.6471";
                    };
                    "hull_heat_level" = hullHeatLevel;
                    uColorMap =                     {
                        type = texture;
                        value = 0;
                    };
                    uEffectsMap =                     {
                        type = texture;
                        value = 1;
                    };
                    uTime = universalTime;
                };
                "vertex_shader" = "YAH-generic.vertex";
            };
        };

Or if you're just lazy you could download the file below and overwrite your existing G set shipdata file with it.

Have fun.

Please comment (If you have any comments).

High res and Gimp versions available on request.

Anybody have any good tips on an easy way to make them look scruffy and worn in Gimp. Thinking of versions without background for Griff's canister decals.

Good ones, Gimi! Maybe "Statooil" would be easier to read as "Statool" (or, if you want to get really pedantic, you could put an umlaut over the second "o": "Statoöil" ;)).

Hi Gimi,
Try using some of the Filters in Gimp.

Your original

Image

This one is faded, scuffed and dirty.

Image

Five steps.
1) Filters - Noise - RGB (mottles the image a bit)
2) Eraser. Big brush and low opacity (gives a slightly transparent worn look)
3) Big nebula airbrush - brown with medium opacity (makes it look dirty)
4) Big nebula airbrush -white with low opacity (softens the 'dirt')
5) Filters - Artistic - Gimpressionist - placement - stroke density set to very low (adds scuffs and scratches).

These filters are great for all sorts of effects...just play around with them and you'll find tons of useful tricks.
