i wish i could! in the windows ttd palette there are only two series of cycling blues, a dark and fast one and a slow and lighter one,which is used in the default water graphics to create the sparkling effect, and I use it to break the weaves.i think it's possible to change the palette. Don't know how.

If you don't place a white pixel at every possible spot, but leave a few gaps then it won't look as bright.
That's the way you did id in the canals if I'm not mistaken,but in the canals you have of course not enough white in the waves for it to look as a coast.

mmmm
what's the difference between grdtogrf and grfmerge (from grfcodec)?

Rob · Post by **Rob** » 11 Oct 2005 16:36

grdtogrf makes a grf from the grd file.
This grf file you can place in the newgrf folder of ttdpatch and then ingame activate or deactivate the grf, and thus using your newwater or the old ttd water without leaving the game.

yes, and you can decode and encode the grf directly without converting.

Please use the command line switches for grfid and the tile when creating grfs via grdtogrf...

The new waters also works well on TTDPatch.

im not verry good at using comand line programs i cant even get the help up for grdtogrf.

Death · Post by **Death** » 12 Oct 2005 08:32

put the grdtogrf and the newwater.grd in the same folder (your ttd
folder) then open your MS-DOS Phrompt (at the START menu) and write down:

Code: Select all

C:\WINDOWS>cd C:\MPS\TTWin95\                 <== or where is your ttd folder
C:\MPS\TTWin95> grdtogrf -1 newwater.grd

then newwater.grf will apear in you folder

but it will have ID:FFFFFF this way ...

eis_os · Post by **eis_os** » 12 Oct 2005 09:03

In generally the author of the graphics will create the grf. With a proper GRFID and Description (see the commandline switches on how you set them)

This way it's possible to even enable and disable the created GRF ingame.

should i cange that

Hyronymus · Post by **Hyronymus** » 12 Oct 2005 09:09

For once, read what other people write. Oskar said the author should provide the grf so the author should also add his personalised data to the grf-header. If you made a private copy of the grf you don't have to change that naturally.
Just that would not be nice if you offered your private copy for download without a proper ID and copyright notice in the grf-header.

BTW: grf-ID FFFFFFFF means it can't be switched off, correct?
