Water at the Map Edges

Zephyris · Post by **Zephyris** » 01 Dec 2007 11:58

A simple GRF which causes the water graphics (not black) to be drawn at the edge of the map.

Works in all climates.
Will not work with custom water graphics.

For anyone interested in providing custom water graphics support you may find the following useful:

Code: Select all

That seriously should not work. Not when the 7 is skipping the A, at least.

Zephyris · Post by **Zephyris** » 01 Dec 2007 15:03

It has worked in my tests, should actionAs not be skipped by action7? I assume the following code would be better:

Code: Select all

    3 * 5    0A 01 01 EC 03
    2 * 6    07 83 01 03 00 01
    4 sprites/water_edges_temp.pcx 0 0 09 31 64 -31 0
    5 * 6    07 83 01 03 01 01
    7 sprites/water_edges_trop.pcx 0 0 09 31 64 -31 0
    8 * 6    07 83 01 03 02 01
   10 sprites/water_edges_arct.pcx 0 0 09 31 64 -31 0
   11 * 6    07 83 01 03 03 01
   13 sprites/water_edges_toyl.pcx 0 0 09 31 64 -31 0

No, that is not correct, DaleStan was tying to say that you only skipped the ActionA line and not the actual 'real' sprite line below it, the Action7 should jump both.

Code: Select all

For example, it should be jump over the next 2 sprites;

    2 * 6    07 83 01 03 00 02
    3 * 5    0A 01 01 EC 03
    4 sprites/water_edges_temp.pcx 0 0 09 31 64 -31 0

Hope that helps,

corrected, and still works.

Seriously nice work Zephyris

But we have a small problem. I am in receipt of a message from some guy named Christopher Columbus ... seems he fell off the edge of the world before your grf and now he can't get back up.

athanasios · Post by **athanasios** » 01 Dec 2007 22:58

and thanks Zephyris.

Nice idea, can you randomize the background too

Zephyris · Post by **Zephyris** » 02 Dec 2007 01:14

Kinda, as Mr Ford (almost) said; you can any background as long as it repeats every 64/31 pixels in a brick-like fashon

hehehe

nice patch. It makes you wonder why no-one else thought of it.

This looks cool, makes ya feel like you're in a bigger world now. Sort of like you're on a remote island, starting a transport service. Which is the mentality I adopted for game maps anyway.

Will download as soon as I finish posting.

Cool stuff. A really cool idea.

Good to see such new things popping up.

George · Post by **George** » 02 Dec 2007 11:32

I like the idea.

GRF is always red in newgrfwindow for me, even when it is applied.

Zephyris · Post by **Zephyris** » 02 Dec 2007 12:15

Is it working correctly for everyone? Its a simple existing sprite replacement (actionA), but the first one I have ever done, and does include climate specific switches (action7). It may well need some bug fixing...

I just tested it in all four climates and its fine.
I use the Windows version of TTDX. I wonder if perhaps you will need a DOS version too? Were those having problems playing TTDX DOS?

Maedhros · Post by **Maedhros** » 02 Dec 2007 14:51

Seems to work fine with the DOS data files here. It's looking very nice.

Works fine in OpenTTD too.
