I would like to know if I could use the water tile texture for my plug-ins (If I use it I'll credit the creator). If yes, then could someone send me the texture?

Posted: **28 May 2017, 17:26**

Yes, but it doesn't work for me when I'm making a ground plug-in.

Have fun 8)

As we might modify the textures in the future you might have to update your plugin then.

Thanks!

I've run into a problem. They don't appear in the game. They will still generate in the background, but I can't find them in any building tabs.

Posted: **28 May 2017, 18:23**

Any suggestions on how to solve this?

Code: Select all

"type":"water,"

Adding those to the plug-in made it disappear. I'll just add my json onto this post so someone can tell me what I did wrong

Code: Select all

Which png file is which? It matters.

In order from 1 to 3:

The pivot point is not set properly. The default behavior here works well for buildings and normal ground, but not for water, which now has to be moved 4 pixels down. To achieve that I recommend to set the pivot point manually. Here, this will look like

Code: Select all

...
{"bmp": "searock1.png", "handle y": 4},
...

We don't have to set handle x as it's 0 by default.

They still don't appear in the game, but thanks for the help with the texture.

That's a problem as for water only one object can be used at the same time. I would recommend to use type "decoration" instead. Why does it have to be of type water?

I wish the ships could pass down the bridges and cables. I've done a new survey about a new way to generate maps

Posted: **28 May 2017, 23:46**

I can get ýour rocks on water. You have to decide which one shows up the most.

So they generate in maps naturally.

I would prefer the first one. Thanks for the help.

We might spawn some decorations in map creation

Posted: **29 May 2017, 00:31**

It involves placing bridges, so therefore would be in the transport tab, but at least you can place multiple tiles at once.

Maybe some fallen trees and some rocks
