Castle-chasm/lava transitions

Post by **mog** » November 27th, 2006, 7:58 pm

As I mentoned here, I'm trying to do transitons for the dwarven castle. Currently transitions with chasm and the new lava don't work at all.

I made a preliminary version of the chasm transition:

Corners don't work, so it's not yet usable but good enough for (hopefully) helpful comments.

When I'm done, I plan to do the same with lava.

Jetryl's commentary:

"That looks awesome."

A great idea, with a great execution.

More or less done:

I might still do some polishing, but it's completely usable (well, at least more usable than before. I can't support all kinds of transitions - castle/chasm/wall and castle/chasm/lava won't work well unless I make special case tiles for them).

The terrain-graphics.cfg in the tgz also includes code for my lava-transitions from this thread, so you'll need those files too.

WIP: Castle-lava transition:

What do you think about the amount of lightning? I might make the lava glow a bit stronger, but I'm not quite sure about it.

Cool.

Underlighting on the lava castle would make it a little more convincing. Ã¢â‚¬â€Some highlights instead of shaddows on the undersides of things, or at least weaker shaddows.

Well, I already did this at the towers, but I made the effect more visible. The (for now) finished result:

Tiles are here:

Holy crap that's good.

Looks like those are only in trunk. As the new terrain system isn't merged yet, is there any other difference between trunk and branch preventing those to go into 1.2?

I know of no reason these (and any other terrain modification currently in trunk) shouldn't go into 1.2. But i'm ignorant of the procedure. Until a couple days ago i thought the trunk became 1.2. How do i access 1.2?

You've got to make a checkout of the 1.2 branch using:
svn co svn+ssh://eleazar@svn.gna.org/svn/wesnoth/branches/1.2

Alternatively you could ask Isaac to merge your changes into the branch. That's the way developers who don't want to work on both use.

Ok, inspired by the flurry of activity in the lava/cave area, i've added a cobbled floor to the dwarvish keep, and an additional base tile to the lava.

I did notice that dwarven keeps cause the walls to use the chasm transition to lava.

I'll try to merge the changes into 1.2 in the next few days. I think i'm technologically able.

Not bad, although something is bothering me about the perspective...

there is a error in the following line:

Code: Select all

{TERRAIN_ADJACENT_CORNER_FLAG1 K      l      l       52,76 keep-of-o chasm-dcastle-convex}

chasm should of course be lava.

fixed in trunk.
