Idea: ‘Coop’ GRF’s
Hey guys, I was just tapping my fingers and thinking about how awesome eyecandy is in OTTD, when I had an origional(ish) thought. Wouldnt it be cool if we had a couple of GRF’s made by coop for coop? I know that alot of our members make GRF’s so we should have an awesome talent base. Mabye we could start with a HQ graphic GRF. It always bores me that basically by the time we have finished our MM we already have the highest level HQ, so I was thinking we should add more, but with a coop touch. I thought it’d be awesome if we had some _huge_ skyscraper as the highest level HQ (I mean, 5 stories tall is hardly going to put a mark on the map). The coop touch: On the roof, or on a sign on the side of the building, we should have a huge label “COOP” or something like that (depending on what’ll fit >_<; ).
I’d really like to see about four or five new HQ’s added, each requiring a company value of several millions before they appear. So our HQ is upgrading constantly during our games ^__^
But yeah, I have exactly zero experience with making GRF’s but I have four months of holidays and i’d really like to contribute something to the Coop experience. If a couple of people want to join in and make a project like this, plus would be willing to teach me, I think we could pump out a couple of coop unique GRF’s, and really get our name out there đ
(Yes, I do know there is a Big HQ GRF, but we dont usually play with it and it is only small compared to what I’d like to see ^_^)
If you have any ideas, comments, suggestions, rants, or general feelings about my awesomeness (joke), please comment here, or if you want to contact directly, send me an email at mlawrenceofarabia at hotmail dot com

well i havent been around for awhile. but i totally agree with this.
makng new GRFs for Coop Players.
It was really cool to have some dedicated GRFs around – makes our community even more unique đ
Maybe you could have a chat with XeryusTC, as he already coded some GRF things, afaik.
I’ve only done some newstation grfs and some sprite replacements until now. So something like a bigger HQ could be possible, but I need someone else to draw it.
PS: I edited the e-mail address in the blog post to make it a bit harder for bots to find it.
Good idea..good idea..The only downfall is that I’m not “actual” member of the community, I just watch as you build…I dunno, when I would make some graphics, would they be even accepted… Just kidding. If your’re serious, I guess I have to build something too and then provide some graphics đ
I can do the artwork but have no idea how to covert to gfx hook me up on IRC to chat about it
