PROJECT/DESIGN: Altered Tilesets

[The Big Mc]

I have just finished upgrading the apolyton tile file to fix the ctp2 underwater graphic bugs.

gtset555.zip

gtset565.zip

At the moment I need play testes to check it .

Right down to the task I want to propose we use the source code to generate other underwater features onto a ctp2 random map.

I had the idea for

• Lava rifts
• underwater mountain chains
• Deeper pockets of water

There was some opposition so I decided to have a poll
Please add your vote

[Gilgamensch]

As you haven't voted yet, I go first and I am for it

Makes sea cities maybe worthwhile again

[The Big Mc]

Right i have voted

[The Big Mc]

I am thinking of starting lava rifts soon!!!!

do you think lava rifts should be able to connect with normal rifts.

[Gilgamensch]

Why not?

There isn't so much difference really. Even in nature it is chaotic. best example the rift in the Atlantic. You have volcanic next to normal rifts as well as lava-rifts............

[The Big Mc]

that’s going be the tile rule from hell then but what the hell

[Gilgamensch]

Just to 'simplify' it maybe a bit:

rift next to rift, Yes
rift next to lava, Yes
rift next to Volcana, No
Lava next to Volcana, Yes.

Could look nice

where has lava come from

I guess you wanted to say Where lava has come from ?

And vulcanos shall be also available on their own.

For the rifts:

rift-lava-rift again a valid combination, I would suggest.
Same goes for rift-rift.

[The Big Mc]

You meant lava rift. lets in future call this volcanic ridge

[Gilgamensch]

Actually I was using:

rift for normal rifts
lava for lava filled rifts
and Vulcano for Vulcano.

But ridge would be OK for me as well, although I don't know the difference.

[The Big Mc]

I just look it up on the thesaurus for you hares a few words that mean the same hope fully you can get a clue from them.

ridge = crest = Rim

rift = hole= Crevice = Fissure

[Gilgamensch]

Little bit OT:

But I thought rift and fissue would have been different and rift and ridge more or less the same time to do some more reading

Back on topic (OT ):

You understood anyway my idea?

[The Big Mc]

yes if a rift is at the side of a volcano turn it to volcanic rift easy done.

[Gilgamensch]

Will it also work with random map? I have no idea how it is implemented. And I think we still have problems with the map generation.
