BackImage[0][2][5][1][0]=Queenswood Villas I.0.5

I want it to build in 6 tiles to West-East and 3 tiles to North-South
Some building is normal but some build in 3 tiles to West-East and 6 tiles to North-South
Why?

Well, you have only one rotation of your pak.

So either you need to write the backimage lines for the second rotation (maybe also some new pics required)

Then you need to write Dims=6,3,2 (for 2 rotations)
..and then...
Backimage[1]

......(for rotation 1 - 6x3)

Backimage[2]

......(for rotation 2 - 3x6)

Or you try using dims=6,3,1 (only one rotation), but I'm not sure whether that works properly, IIRC Prissi once said asymmetric buildings should have 2 rotations. But you can try it anyway.

Hope this helps, also take a look at the wiki, i think there is a description for this topic.
Good luck! smile

I always thought the last number in Dims was for the number of used tiles in up/down direction.
from http://wiki.simutrans.com/tiki-index.php?page=BuildingDef+

Quote

Dims=1,1,4
The dimensions of the building, given as number of tiles in the East-West dimension, number of tiles in the North-South dimension, number of tiles in the up-down dimension. City buildings may be only one tile at the base, but up to 4 tiles high. Special buildings and player-constructed buildings may be up to 16 tiles by 16 tiles at the base, and up to 4 tiles high.

Thus Dims=6,3,3 would be correct, as the there are 3 tile high buildings (e.g. at 0,0) . . . However I doubt if this will solve the issue.

TileCutter, when it's finished, will take care of this sort of thing automatically... Wink

But I agree with moistboy's analysis, you need to define 2 views for the building if it is irregular, even if they are identical.

That information is incorrect, I should update the wiki... The third number in dims refers to the number of rotations.

Well, you need to specifiy only one rotation.
dims=6,3,1
This should work with recent versions of simutrans.

Is it work on 86.10.5 and Makeobj version v.0.1.24?

Great idea, I love you.

A idea just struck my head, what if we turned industrial areas into low level residential (suburbs), and make industrial areas appear as tourist attractions?

OK, thanks. Thumb up

BTW I don't read all the examples in the wiki, actually only when the definitions, like the quoted one, are not clear (enough) to me. So please try and keep the definitions up to date. Simple souls, like me, depend on it when writing our dat files. confused
