High(er) Resolution Tilsets

[maubp]

On second though the change to make the diagonal rails look good would be easy too .

Are we thinking along the same lines here Thue?

Yes. I was just being lazy .

report these bugs

maudp, you should go to http://rt.freeciv.org/ and report these bugs. There are really two bugs here: the bad bends/bad junctions is a bug in the tileset, and the bad diagonals is a bug in the code.

Good idea jdorje

See Incident 2408

I had used that twice before - back in Jan 2002 - but had forgotten about it.

This is an implementation of the rail corners:

Thanks True

When would this appear in a binary? The next beta?

I am currently running freeciv on windows.

Also, I notice you have only done this for railways. I think it should be done for roads as well. Even if it make very little difference for the trident tileset, it could be needed on larger tilesets like my bigtrident. Up to you.

P.S. Is your change for non-isometric tiles only?

I don't know (I am not very active right now). in the final 1.14.0 or in the next major release.

Nobody's perfect

Yes. I should implement it for roads too I agree, but not right now. (feeling lazy)

P.S. Is your change for non-isometric tiles only?

Yes. To implement it for isometric tiles is just as easy, but a seperate fix.

And another bug squashed...with luck just in time for 1.14 too!

Kudos to Maubp and Thue

[maubp]

Thats excellent news CapTVK

It means I will be able to see and use Thru's mod pretty soon - and take advantage of it for the bigtrident tileset...

(I'm running FreeCiv on Windows 2000, and have no desire to compile/build FreeCiv on Windows just yet )

Thanks again Thru.

[jdorje]

fixed...

This is fixed in the CVS version, along the lines of Thue's original patch. It will not be in 1.14, but it will be in the next version. You can also use the daily snapshots (although maybe not until tomorrow).

[maubp]

Thanks jdorje - I have been watching this (Incident 2408) on the freeciv dev email list.

Do you mean it won't be in 1.14.0, but would be in 1.14.1 ?

Might have to reinstall linux again to try the nightly CSV build... hopefully windows 2002 won't kill it this time round!

It won't be in 1.14.0, or 1.14.x if there is one (at this point this would just be a bugfix release based on the old code, if there are enough bugs or new translations to justify it). It will be in 1.15.0.

I believe Andreas (win32 maintainer) provides periodic binary builds of the win32 client from CVS.

hi guys how do I chang tridents sos I can try this one out

[maubp]

Geoffrey - see this thread for changing tilesets.

To try this one, you will need to download the most recent ZIP file I posted, and extract the files in the right place. i.e. bigtrident_v0_0_2.zip on the first page of this thread.

If you are running on windows (or using version 1.14), then PNG files are fine.

If you are using linux (before version 1.14) then you will need to convert the PNG files into XPM files.
