Bad :(
Long ship is seen under the upper part of the lift. I need to draw something to hide it.
You can't,
I have made some tests - seems I can (But I need to be sure, that the lift part can not be removed. Only the whole lift)
eis_os wrote:it's a problem how TTD draws ground sprites, for the pics currently a cliff climbing would be better right?
hm, didn’t understand. What do you mean? It seems it is possible to fix the problem using current graphics engine, just by drawing specific sprites.
eis_os wrote:The only way to make it better, changing the hotspot point more at the lower part. I am aware of it, it's a problem with TTDs Ground sprite Drawing, the ground sprite drawing order can't be changed.
Ok, we can use what we have
eis_os wrote:Maybe we should switch back to simple cliff climbing ships? Any comments?
Disagree

Not yet... weekend?
Ok.
How about additional dikes graphics? Would it be possible to add that 8 additional sprites?

As I said to you, if you can give me the sprites I could add them.
I am not in the mood to calc all possiblites but maybe it's better to have for each combination a own sprite?

I am very unsure, please help! Any plan how many, for what sprites we need could help to switch this lightbulb :idea: on :wink:

But it moves up and down standing in the same place. We've got misunderstanding. Please, explain, may be a pic

Well, it's the same when you have a canal and the Brown Pass. Liner or other large ships go in it...Or like the longvehicles on roads.

Yeah, I know, that doesn't mean I like it. When I do canals I always make them at least two square wide, to minimize this problem. I am fully aware that you are all doing your best and there is no way to fix the boat displays.

? To hide what? I can put the grf file on my site, but you can not test it. Ask Oskar for the alpha to test it.

Fix Status:
fixed sprite bugs with shiplift top bottom parts in direction 1 & 3
prevent the floating of shiplifts parts, simple water isn't allowed to remove it anymore :)
Shiplifts aren't destroyed by terraforming, George? It's right that plain canals gets destroyed, can't be changed...

NonFix Status:
Fix remove, so it destroys all parts...
Adding better canal dike support ...
