It means that the macro must be called within [scenario] and within nothing else.
Can I put it in utils or macros?
Yes, you can define the macro in either of those.

AFAIK there is only a well, but no more fountain. But you can give it a try and make another fountain facing North-West.

For water animation, let's asume you have four frames wich marks the main flowing directions in many pixels. To get a smooth flowing, you can create a frame in between every frame by blending the next standing frames into a third one. So at last you'll end up with a total of 8 frames and a smoother flowing.

A similar effect was done here. Probably worth taking a look at.

I downloaded and got it working. I even changed the colors a bit and picked only 8 frames. (I used 1,3,5,7,8,6,4,2 in this order and it looks like a flow.) How do I make a mirror-fountain? I used this toplevel thingy.

It is more a wml question, but it is so related to this fountain.

To flip an image, append ~FL(horiz).

That is,

Code: Select all

fountain.png
would become

Code: Select all

fountain.png~FL(horiz)

We're ready to commit when you deem this finished, I think. :)

Flipping it this way doesn't make sense, because you need to completely redraw the whole shades and lights, so that a flipped image may look right to the lightsource.
Sorry, but i won't have enough time for a few weeks, to do any improvements on the fountain. :( So if somebody likes to take things over?

Hmm, I prefer changing the colors with Gimp. Right now I have a blackish fountain with dirty water which would be great in caves. Maybe flipping works in caves, even if it does not fit this light-from-right rule. If I make the water green the fountain should be yellow? Maybe that looks like gold and is nice for elves. And thanks for the Flip command.

I'm not sure, if this human made fountain would look good in caves. For caves i would like to see a natural basin, digged out over the years by the water, which comes out of a rock or so.

Necromancy...

My reasons are:
opt1: OP is ready and some commit-access person needs to commit this.
opt2: OP isn't ready and needs to be reminded to finish this.
opt3: OP isn't ready and MIA so another pixel-pusher can take over and finish it
