transition from desert to woodland

Bad Monk · Post by **Bad Monk** » 20 Aug 2006, 19:56

Crush, I beg pardon for my stupidity but I get this error now "Cannot find map file" when I get to the area where your new map is supposed to be.

I renamed the old 'new_1-1.tmx.gz' in 'new_1-1.tmx_old.gz' and substituted it with the one i downloaded (a really small file 1015 bytes) but I'm going nowhere with this.

Please help

Thanks again,

Monk

it might be the case because you forgot to download the transition tileset and put it into the tileset folder.

http://svn.sourceforge.net/viewvc/thema ... g?view=log

but the file size of only one kb cannot be correct. the new maps (number 14-16) are between 10 kb and 16 kb.

Yes it was the case

and what's more the file I downloaded was broken.
Anyway everything works ok now so I wandered a bit and there are 3 screen of what I found in map 14.

The first two refer to the same place.

This one just looks bad.

And I don't like the flower popping from behind the tree either. My two cents here

It's quite late now I will test it more deeply during the week.

G'night,

Monk

thank you for your feedback.

the screenshot 1-3 show errors that are caused because you got an old version of the woodland tileset. it will be fixed in the release.

the screenshot 4 is a rather cosmetical thing. i would be interested in the opinions of other people.

Crush, I'd like to continue to test your maps but maybe it would be useless and frustrating for you if I keep to report errors that are due to me using an old and buggy tileset.

If you want, I'll keep testing the map, otherwise, I'll stop.
Waiting instructions!

Anyway, some work I had already done:

These are some trees that are walkable and I thought should be unpassable

This looks very artificial:

And would be a great place for rituals dedicated to the moon or something like that

This is thrilling:

Is it going to be connected to some quest?

just go on. things that you should look for are:

-tiles that cover the player although they shouldn't
-tiles that don't cover the player although they should
-tiles that are walkable although they shouldn't
-tiles that are blocked although they shouldn't

screenshots 5 and 6 are for example bugs that are important to find. thank you for spotting those. i'll correct them as soon as possible.

screenshot 7 and 8 are easter eggs.

Crush, I don't think you should leave the body there unless you can come up with a good reason why it just lies there and no one cares enough to pick it up and bury it.

So, ideas:
A sleeping ancient, the village idiot doing a diving record, a former king and water, in which one does not decay? (Think the fountain of youth in the style of "Emperor's New Clothes".)

For your transition between 2 floors.
A good system could be to using dryness grass for having a more complex floor; with the dried grass on the sand and on the other floor.
the difficulty is to display with a non-uniform method piece of grass.

We can use brown rock too.

and we could adapt the plants for the over transitions.

Any ideas for beach monsters :
- warriors with a fish-head, like in RoseOnline and old movies and "one-piece". We can design archer, warrior with sword, warrior with spear , one with armou and other not, and a giant or a king
- Giant crab,
- carnivor giant clam

Gotta love'em. Maybe some snappy turtles?

thanks for finding that error one so short before the release.

I also see there's a bottom tile missing at the cliff, close to the sign.

I've seen it, too and fixed it.
