Playground Mod

[Spacer One]

well here is a school playground, also for C&P

the pokeball is easy to make a resourse, but to make it a building I need the blank template, which I cant find...I will see what I can do with what I have on laptop

[edit] file added...playground PCX, and pokeball building ZIP(the "magenta" icons are sized Large=buildingLarge.pcx insert...and the Small one is for buildingsmall.pcx and resources pcx, the others are building pedia icons)

 

[Spacer One]

adding a little Mushroom house that looks like it could be "cartoon" thing mentioned...SMurf House(I can add a smurf if youd like)

 

[Bluemofia]

Several things.

1) I'm done with the tank unit for each faction.
2) I found an error with the terrain. See pics. "Error" is what shows if you scroll up at the edge of the terrain. "Error2" is what you see when you scroll down a tiny bit.

 

[Spacer One]

does that happen in game or in the editor?...I looked at the copy I have(same one I hope) and it doesnt do that...(is it your comp speed?...it looks like a load glitch)...I can only think of one reason that it might do that, but if it fixes itself when you scroll, its prolly your comp

 

[Bluemofia]

In game. It fixes itself if I scroll down if it's the northern edge of the square, but gets created if I scroll up. The same happens on the east/west/south squares, just that if I scroll towards the space terrain, it causes that, and away fixes it.

 

[Spacer One]

Hmmm....I have an Idea what might fix it...I'll upload a new version by morning....

[edit] ok an hour later or so

 

[Bluemofia]

Nope. Now I'm getting this. Also, it doesn't go away if I scroll the screen.

 

[WildWeazel]

The palette isn't right. Make it 256 colors, with the magic pink in the last index.

 

[Spacer One]

ok, I dont get the error you did, but when I reconverted it, I get the problem...I will try using a different color for transparent, but that will have to wait until later...prolly by tomorrow...I am not sure what the issue is...but I will figure it out and fix it...

is the problem worse on the second version?

[edit] weasel, how do I adjust the pallet in GIMP?...usually the Magenta is the last of the 256 on its own, I dont know why it isnt this time

 

[WildWeazel]

I've never seen it be last on its own. Go to Dialogs>Colormap, change the background to some unused color, make the last entry your transparency color, and fill the background with that. (Just adding it to the end doesn't work because the background will still reference the first index of that color)

 

[Bluemofia]

Yeah, the second one is worse. That's where I see the pink.

Finished with the walls.


2 Photon Ballistas shooting at each other over the walls.

 

[WildWeazel]

That thing is awesome!

Watercolor terrain is a great choice btw. Definitely gives it that imaginary look.

 

[Bluemofia]

The walls or the photon ballistas?

Walls were made by Aaglo, and Photon Ballistas were made by Pleb.

 

[WildWeazel]

I meant the photon ballistas. The wall is cool too. What is your terrain setup like? You may be able to replace thoe mountains with something that would blend with the walls.

 

[Bluemofia]

The mountains in the picture are LM Mountains. I don't really know what though. But they have to fit with the LM Hills as well (doors).

But, I don't know what to replace it as, so I'll just leave it alone. (until I get a better idea)

 

[WildWeazel]

You could use hill gfx. They might look better with the walls. And they would certainly blend.

 

[Bluemofia]

Make the wall terrain hills?

 

[Spacer One]

ok...what I think happened is that the Magic pink was in 2 spots on the pallet...I have changed the first one to yellow, and all the diamonds turned yellow...so issue should be solved (I made the first "pink" on the pallet yellow, and filled the yellow with the "last color" pink...same color, different position on the pallet

Can a color appear twice?...I think the first pink was the magic one, and the pink at the end(where it normally is on mine, maybe its a preference) was ignored?...(sometimes I do set my colors to 250 not 256 as it gives brighter color)...My issue is resolved I believe either way, Im just confused as to why it happened(and never has before)

@waesel, did you try anything I sent you in-game(BfNY) did any of that have the issue?...

 

[Spacer One]

oh, I guess you should try this CSOpcx...this addresses the issue Weasel brought up...

Note: it is version F and yes I go a/b/c/d/e/f so you see how many times I tried to figure it out before Weasel gave me what should be the final answer

 

[Bluemofia]

It's almost all better. Just that there are still things that look like guidelines left.
