New Stone Path Tile

Shadow · Post by **Shadow** » June 25th, 2007, 7:11 am

I like both (I know that really helped

)

The first tiles should blend a bit better with the environment the second well at the moment I look at them with CRT monitor and I really like them.
Just keep it coming great stuff.

/edit
Looking from a LCD I see what the others mean.
You could try to differentiate the stones a bit from each other else I see something like a flicker. Espeacially the hugh patches where more than 1 stone path lies next to each other.

I actually think your path versions have been better than the main stone path; compared to yours, I now now feel that the base version is too sharp and clean and also that its stones are slightly oversized. I found that very noticeable on the new Wesnoth 1.3.whatever screenshots. But I hadn't picked up on that until I saw your new attempts alongside. Using the original stone path as a reference, I'd suggest stones about 2/3-3/4 their original size, and using your new noisy path as the base, individual stones need to be somewhere between half again and twice as big.

I think that too, that the old stones are slightly overzied. That's why i'll give it a trie and start from scratch again with a size you mentioned, before moving back to what Jetryl linked.

Sure, but there are no transition tiles at the moment.

The most recent revision's tiles are waayy too small - it might look fine on a CRT, where inter-pixel blending smooths things out, but on an LCD, it would look atrocious.

The last version looks like a rug.

The last version simply looks horrible, noisy, looks like all but stone.

If i used the tiles, how would I add them to use in my maps? Thanks!

After trying many styles of the stone path, wich always seems to come up with a kind of "noisy" tile. I finally switched back to the one Jetryl linked. I lost the original one, so i rebuilt it. That's what it looks right now.

Well, i don't know that. Best way is to look at some campaigns who already used some special terrian. For adding it to the editor you can take a look here http://www.wesnoth.org/forum/viewtopic.php?t=16698

This is your best version so far.

I agree. When looking back in the thread, the path actually looked to me like...hm.. Ice melting, when someone steps over it. Do you see what I mean?

This one's a lot better and actually looks like a stone path.
(Although when taking a closer look at it, there seems to be some 'noise' again on the edge of the stones.. It's that .jpg thing again?)

I like the one on page 2 as well, with rocks with different colours too, although I think this one's better

Yep. The edges of the stones are a bit jagged on my LCD, but this is the best version so far.

ready for commit ?

Post by **musketaquid** » July 14th, 2007, 12:22 pm

I'll try to finish the whole set until wendsday. Then i hope it will be nice enough for commiting

I've changed the green color of the the space between the stones to a darker grey.
This new set of tiles is complete. There are variations and transitions within.

Wow, I really like that! Good job!

I know I hardly ever post, but I lurk quite a bit.
