Re: [WIP] Pools
This looks more like an application for animated tiles to me.

You might have heard a certain rumor about me. This rumor is completely false. You might also have heard the other rumor about me. This rumor is 100% accurate.
Re: [WIP] Pools
The blood pools in the crypt are currently particle effects. Keeping that system wouldn't harm imho.
Re: [WIP] Pools
Right. When I saw those pools for the first time I already wondered why the heck you did the surface as a particle effect instead of just using animated tiles for the whole basin.
Animated tiles is a really awesome feature of the Mana client which is grossly underused in TMW.

Re: [WIP] Pools
Maybe it is awesome and for sure they aren't used a lot, that is because we don't necessarely want/have the time to learn how to do that.Crush wrote:Animated tiles is a really awesome feature of the Mana client which is grossly underused in TMW.
Re: [WIP] Pools
It's really easy. To make a tile animated, just create a tileset with all the animation phases. Then you go into the tile properties of the tile you want to be animated, and describe which tile from the animation tileset is showed for how long in its place as described in the wiki article above.
When you need a real example for it: Map 012-3 has one (the drops on the walls).

What's about changing colors of the image in this system?

Re: [WIP] Pools
Technically it's possible to use recolored tilesets by editing the .tmx file with a text editor and adding the recoloring code behind the filename. You can add recolorisation codes to every image filename the mana client loads. Unfortunately Tiled can't handle images it can't find (at least it couldn't when I used it the last time, and that was quite a while ago).
Yes, I admit it is impractical to use tilesets with colorization.

can it be done on large parts of the map. like open water or rivers. or is it not worth the work to animate large parts of the map?

Re: [WIP] Pools
That's exactly the use-case I developed that feature for. Even when you use animations for every single tile, it has practically no impact on performance.skipy wrote:can it be done on large parts of the map. like open water or rivers. or is it not worth the work to animate large parts of the map?
When you need to talk to someone with experience, ask Len. He used animated water excessively on his test map for Whispers of Avalon.
