Castle patch, now 0.1.0 [Was: Castle patch, version 0.0.1]

[Ayin]

Here is a patch (which should compile against last CVS) that allows castle tiles to have dynamically-built walls, for a more castle-ish look. The graphics need polishing (and so does the code), for now it is just a proof-of-concept. Feedback is welcome !

A little (err, actually, a big) screenshot:

And the patch is here

http://www.anathas.org/ayin/wesnoth/cas ... 0.1.tar.gz

To apply the patch, untar it in the wesnoth drectory, and then

Code: Select all

patch -p0 <  castle-0.0.1.patch

[Edit: now version 0.1.0. see http://savannah.nongnu.org/patch/index. ... em_id=2948 ]

that looks awesome. i might try later to do better graphics, once i figure out where the images are stored.

Turin:

The castle is build from 36 different tiles, which are generated by a script (mk-castle.sh) from a single image. The images are located in the tools/ subdirectory (OK, this location sucks ), and are named castle.png, and cutout.png. The first one is the castle image, the second the cut-out mask.

The original source file for the castle is the attached Gimp (XCF) file.

I'm very interested in this script and hope a polished version gets in the game, it would enhance the look of some of the levels in my campaign greatly.

Dude, that looks awesome. I know svetlac was working a while ago on creating more complicated castles and keeps by hand, but your simple change makes the castles look a lot more impressive. Of course camps would be nice as well.

How do you untar it

[fmunoz]

tar.gz files (rename it if after download the name dont end as it) can be opened with Winzip an dmost winzip-alike programs...

[FireDragon]

K. I used winzip. Where do I put the files.

[Ayin]

Firedragon: you should have a fresh copy of the CVS repository first. You should also have the "patch" utility, and a mean to compile the Wesnoth sources. Extract the files in the directory where you made the CVS checkout, then apply the patch using the given command. Then, compile and install Wesnoth.

Looks good. I really like the way that it was done.
In addition to perhaps having different walls for different castle types, I'd also like to propose having several tiles for the inside of the castle much like grassland has flowers/rocks/etc, thus the inside of the castle looks... cityesque. Wouldn't take too much effort, and I think it'd make the castle graphics look much better.

By the way, I'm officially volunteering someone else to do the graphics. Not me. I'll draw flowers. (-8

[FireDragon]

Patch utility?

[Ayin]

Here are new graphics for the castle patch, to be untarred in your wesnoth directory (either in the source directory, or in the installed data directory).

I am not sure they are really in proper wesnoth-style, but they may still be better than the current ones.

A little screenshot first

The images are here

[freim]

Starting to look good. I would really like to see this replace the current castle graphics in wesnoth.

I have committed this to CVS.

My only comment is that Ayin is a pretty cool coder, as well as a good artist!

It doesn't seem to work correctly on powerpc. I'll submit a bug on savanah, and maybe try to find what's wrong.
