High sea level - tunnel under sea patch

[belugas]

Indeed.
First, let's get this long awaited release out of the way, then, let the fun begin!

[Mchl]

I am having fun all the time...
(Playing OTTD that is - other activities don't fall into scope of this message)

Ofcourse a stupid question, but I can't figure out how to install these Patches... If anyone could tell me I would apriciate it.

That link doesn't seem to mention Build OTTD. I found that the easiest way to apply a patch.

[Frostregen]

I just added the link to BuildOTTD for convenience.

This is brilliant i was writing something similar but i could not get it to work with trains and boats could not cross were the tunnel would be

LOL 9/10

Guy's.
I am sorry but something is wrong on my PC. I canæt get this patch to install.

Is it possible that somone of you take a clean install of OpenTDX, patch it and post it here?

Please!!1

This patch is outdated, to use it, get the source of the revision that matches the latest patch, then compile it.

Since the patch was impossible to apply after 6000 code changes, among which some part of this very patch (river support) and a major rewrite of the flooding code, I'm re-creating this patch from scratch, with a little help from the original as a guideline, of course.

First Post has v0.1 of the new 'deepwater2009' patch. It raises the sea level to 1 'tileheight' for 64x64 maps only, no setting yet. The flooding should be good now, even for halftile tiles I hope. But dock, buoy, oilrig, depot support isn't there yet, they probably look bad still. And, existing 64x64 maps _will_ flood, leading to illegal situations here and there because it doesn't properly destroy now-illegal docks & the likes.

Please stay tuned, and bug reports for this version are more than welcome!

I have a question regarding the flooding, and water.
How have you handled the corners - eg tiles where only one point of the tile is raised? To my knowledge, there is no water graphic for those tiles. Do they still show up as normal land?

Yes there is, how is this any different than the 'current' situation? The only 'corner case' is where 1 corner is above water, and the opposite corner is below water: a steep slope rising from the water. That's handled by drawing a normal coast graphic there, since the 'underwater' corner is hidden anyway.

[Gremnon]

Well, I assumed since unpatched trunk doesn't allow any water on those corner tiles, and I couldn't find any graphics for them, it was either changed to make it possible or left as is.
Maybe I just looked in the wrong place, or I should go try out this patch myself... it's one I've been watching for some time now.

Maybe post a picture indicating what corner you mean... I think we misunderstand each other.

[Gremnon]

Maybe not the best example image, but...

Those kinds of tiles. The ones where only one of the four points is at a different height to the other three.
Does that help explain at all?

[boekabart]

Does that help explain at all?

Not really. This is what happens in trunk when the water comes: note that the 'lower' level is level 0, sea level here.
In my patch, this can be a higher level, still the same as sea level though.

So what's exactly not allowed?
You aren't talking about RIVERS on those tiles, right?

[Gremnon]

Ah, I think I must be, I assumed that with the water level raised by one, any land on level 0 would flood too, including ones of that shape.

[boekabart]

It will. It will be totally underwater. Read this thread from the start: you should think of water as '1 pixel higher' than the land, that's why it floods so aggressively.

This patch also seems like a patch by hackalittlebit.

Thanks for the URL! :S But if you refer to his chunnel patch, this is completely unlike it. It's a totally different (less hacky IMO) approach to allow a similar thing, yes. Although this has more potential, this allows for scenarios that have both patches of water that CANNOT be tunnelled under, and patches of water that CAN be tunneled under, for example.
