PROJECT/DESIGN: Altered Tilesets

[MrBaggins]

Ahh.. well its fine then, I guess. Keep up the great work... and I know how having 20 tiles left to do is. I must have a thousand or so references to sort out (including putting a slightly elaborate #if #end around each one) in the code to remove the wonder/building limits.

hares an new pic I think it demonstrates that rifts can easily graphically merge with lava rifts.

[Gilgamensch]

looks great

But could you post them also that we (in this case me) could see how they look on a single base? Just wanted to see the interjunction parts without something connected.

Now we just need moving waves and fishes/wales in there and off we go.

You want to see what. Hopefully I will have the alpha tile set up and running tonight. I then need a few days to get the tile rules spot on

[Gilgamensch]

Just one by one, not connected. I am just curious, how they look 'bit by bit'.

You got tile edit

you can beta test the graphics then i just got to give them the ones over in ctp then a will send you the tile file.

[Gilgamensch]

go ahead shall I Pm you my e-mail address?

[The Big Mc]

why? I will post a link to it. So any body can have it.

Here it is the beta test of the graphics of the lava rift .

DO NOT DOWNLOAD THIS UNLESS YOU INTEND TO GIVE ME FEED BACK. THIS IS NOT A FINISHED MOD . IF YOU USE REMEMBER TO MAKE A BACKUP.

Just kill a new bug

[Gilgamensch]

I will 'test' it over the weekend, so don't expect any reply before Monday

[The Big Mc]

I am just hunting the bugs in it at the moment you will have to make a new terrain type based on the rifts to get the lava rifts to work in game. The tile id for the rifts is 27.

on a separate note what terrain values should we give the lava rift. I say something like the volcano but a bit more production.

[Gilgamensch]

In apolyton SAP it is (F/S/G)

Deep Sea: 10/0/10
Volcano: 10/20/10
rift: 5/20/5

Actually I would say:
Deep Sea: 10/5/10 (I never liked that the deep see had no production, kind of ilogical, as you would be sitting on the ground)
Volcana: 5/20/15 (They are anyway rare/more gold for the minerals you can take off 'easily')
lava rift: 5/30/15 (they are even easier to harvest)
normal rift: 10/15/10 (shall have enough minerals to have 15 shields and 10 gold, but also enough food)

[The Big Mc]

The best joke with the underwater terrain is that all food would probably come from the surface . Even the robotic fisheries would only be in the top 50 meter of the sea so hypothetically all sea terrain should have the same food production.

[Gilgamensch]

exactly, food from the top and production from the bottom.

So you think we shall have allways food=10, would make mroe sense (the only one we might want to exclude, Volcano)
