Is there a way to rotate terrain objects?

[Overwhelming]

This is stupid. There is only one altar pic, facing east. That means that if I want it facing south, i'll need to edit it with a picture editor? Or is there a way to rotate it?

[Yes, it's TGM here.]

No.

But you could just do a horizontal flip on it, and it should face south.

yes, if you are satisfied with the circumstance that the shading isn't correct anymor!

How do I insert the custom terrain? How do I make it appear in the editor?

Read the instructions.

I did. Didn't find anything. I've already saved it as G500.BMP. Don't know where to place the te_which_sheet 500. Tried in the town script, under begindegineterrain; but nothing...

1) Suppose your scenario is named sword.bas

2) Create a script sworddata.txt

3) Read the Docs and see the corresponding Valley of Dying Things file for a good example.

Thanks. I've already noticed I was scripting in the wrong script, but I still have the problem. Here my roussadata.txt script:

 

Code:

beginscendatascript;begindefineterrain 500;clear;te_name = "Altar South";te_which_sheet = 500;te_ed_which_sheet = 500;te_which_icon = 3;te_ed_which_icon = 3;

The editor doesn't display the right icon and only shows part of it. It doesn't even appear in the game. The sheet has the right measures (56 height) (I've jus edited one existing sheet, from Data/Terrain Graphics/).

[Overwhelming]

Nevermind. I've figured it all.

 

What do you think about the altar's new orientation?

 

 

I've also tried to change the shadowing, but I'm not sure about the results:

 

First version.

 

Tweaked version.

 

The code for the terrain:

 

Code:

begindefineterrain 500;clear;te_name = "Altar";te_which_sheet = 500;te_ed_which_sheet = 501;te_which_icon = 6;te_ed_which_icon = 4;te_can_look_at = 1;te_special_property = 41;te_move_block_n = 1;te_move_block_s = 1;te_move_block_e = 1;te_move_block_w = 1;

As you can see, I had to use another sheet for the editor icons.

[bigblue]

the shading looks ok. will you send it to the louvre?

i already thought of doing what you now did, so i think i have not to do it anymore if you make your graphic available.

[Overwhelming]

I don't know. The sheet includes other seven squares, also fliped but with no shadow tweaking.

 

Maybe I'll empty them out, then post it in my site and, after that, to the Louvre.

 

Or tweak the other squares first, but that will be for later.

And if you get bored, you can flip the tall statue. It can be made to face all four directions.
