and renum, everything becames a mess
sprites location and form are correct (nfo editor shows me that)
what's going wrong?

(consider last week i did'nt know what an action was...)


EDIT: ehem! found the reason, it seems the sprites must be ordered the same in pcx than in nfo's

Could you please make newwater[w].grf for all climate?
I can't stand the green grass in the Arctic climate :

[wallyweb]

Done so far
-new coast for tropical climate
-recovered first's post water pattern for temperate climate (sea waves), keeping the other for tropical
-recovered original buoy
-artic and toyland no longer loading new sprites (but not working in openttd)
-grf's name changed to newwatw.grf

Cool

Todo list
-docks, pillars etc integration (canals are actually looking quite good)
-stoned arctic sea borders?
-experiment widening tropical beachs
-fine adjustments

... now this is going to be one very fine grf

I can't stand the green grass in the Arctic climate

Me too but then I noticed this:

-stoned arctic sea borders?

which would be very cool indeed.

latest version must show default water in arctic, unless you are using openttd.

Wow, The water looks great. Just the waves at the beach are gonna wreck my head after 5 min. can you try to get some irregularity in it? maybe not all directions are at the same cicle state at the same time, maybe that would help a bit. or otherwise, make it less, not the full tile length?

If the entire map lights-up the beaches at the same moment you could turn nuts.

well, i tried it and it was pretty nice in geometric shapes, but it looks awful when the coast is not regular.i'll keep this way.

Edit: r0b0t_b0y2003, I'll be pleased if you can post a DOS version

There's a program you can find here:

[WWTBAM]

here it is

[lepkka]

some tests i've done about arctic

[lepkka]

hummm
mayb with no beach at all

[Aegir]

OOOoooh! The seccond one! I like!

When can you get a release out? , I wasn't that interested in this project until I saw that one .

[lepkka]

thx four your enthusiasm,as soon as i solve some glitches

[MeusH]

OOOoooh! The seccond one! I like!

Seconded - second one is the best

[Rob]

Why don't you put all three in, with a parameter to choose in the newgrf.cfg file ?

btw I do like the second one as the best too.

[Wile E. Coyote]

Something between first and second will be cool: smaller stones than in first, and beach like in second.

New water v0.2

Hi, i'm here again, what is promised, is debt.

Added
-New coastal for arctic
-Integration with docks and oilrigs
-Fully working on OTTD (except toyland)

to do
-new water for toyland, (maybe something like a jacuzzi)
-learn something about parameters

EDIT: a very embarrassing bug found!
updated to v0.2.1

[MeusH]

Downloaded. It's great

[lepkka]

Downloaded. It's great

ufff you better download it again..
strange phenomenas solved!

[Pnaky]

I downloaded too... It's so great!!!

[lobster]

I downloaded too... It's so great!!!

wow! your signature!

[Pnaky]

I downloaded too... It's so great!!!

wow! your signature!

Why???

[Ladis]

wow! your coastlines are amazing! I really like it a lot.

Would it be possible to make the waves more irregular? Those are so strictly straight in every tile. The best would be if they copied the irregularity of coast.

btw you have very nice avatar
