PROJECT/DESIGN: Altered Tilesets

[The Big Mc]

why by the time the heat from the volcano gets to the surface its the same as a normal tile

[Gilgamensch]

Wouldn't necessarily agree, if it erupts or similar?

But we could say, instead of like 8. (never understood that we always use multiples of 5

[The Big Mc]

there is a possibility that there is increased food there because of the heat

[Gilgamensch]

I do remember that the extra heat provides new/different live, plus the fact that the extra minerals are providing nutrisious (sp?) enviroment, but don't forget, if it erupts or just flexes it muscles everything is spoiled.

A mistake i made when altering the values of terrains was trying to be too perfect in realism, then i swung the other way and went mainly for gameplay, then i reached a balance. I would say dont worry about giving it a value yet. It will all need to be tested alongside costs of the same era anyway. But as a general rule, if its rare, it only makes sense to give it good natural production.

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)

I guess Dale changed it from 10/10/5 (unmodded) to 10/0/10 in SAP because he changed beaches too, to lower the value of a navy (?), perhaps because the AI is so bad at protecting its shores. SAP games are more fun with all land anyway.

surely with the source code we can now also get deep see crevasses to work also (like CTP1)

and great work on the other new tiles

Big MC,

I tried to install it on the weekend, but I couldn't get it to work. I'll try again tonight

[The Big Mc]

I can't think what you did wrong all you need to do is download both zips then uses them as any other tile file.

the only thing you have to do is create the tile data in terrain.txt

[Gilgamensch]

I knew I forgotten something

I forgotten to change the terrain.txt

You want a good laugh I got the tile rule from hell to deal with . It’s one big bug with the continental shelf’s there’s two ways to do it one fudge it so no rift can be placed at the side of a continental shelf. Or do it the hard way and try to make the appropriate rules.

[Gilgamensch]

As I haven't modded (yet), where do you find it?

[The Big Mc]

I found the answer !!!!

Let me explain ctp uses tile rules that is well known however to work some of these rules the program uses fuzzy tiles these are tiles that can be one of several different types .

All I have two do is make two new groups

Rifts (lava and normal)
Underwater (all of the deep water tiles)

And it is sorted the downside of this however is that people in the vanilla game will never be able to use the tile file

[The Big Mc]

Here is a next generation concept art of the trench system I had to almost start again because the one with the game was the wrong colour

[The Big Mc]

hay hay i don it

250 miles long and 3 straight down its a few tiles of mc pride canyonero, canyonerooo. (to the Simpson’s canyonero tune)
