Haaaaay there!  Sure am liking the bigger client @_people_  It's really nice being able to add more detail.  For some reason these bales make me hungry for cinnamon rolls.  Showing old vs. new.


So there I was deep into pixel land, when all of a sudden an ant came along.  I'm not sure where he came from but we are now friends.  I consider him more than just a pet, as he's able to wonder where ever his heart desires.  I named him Jeff.  Hmm I might not be getting enough sleep lately.

Not sure where he came from.  I was in SH and all of a sudden he came walking by me.  I haven't been able to reproduce this, nor has it happened before.  Poor little fella is lost.

I think they are right.  Technically .111 and .151 could be switched but other than that they seem ok.

I think we need to add a second floormask layer. I've thought this long before I even conceived the idea of a large-scale client update. Bridges over water have always had this problem. It'll likely require a Y-version update though, so that'll likely be a high priority after the Unity client is released. I want the Unity client to be compatible with the current server version, so players can test the new client while allowing the old client to be used for more stable gameplay.

To your 2nd post: Yes, updating maps (and maybe scripts) should be expected. But also coders should look at tweaking the map draw routines (eg, for 3).

To your 1st: Eek! No, we should use this opportunity to change the'*pft!* it's good enough' things and do them right.

Specifically in this case we want the 5 2 3 4 5 2 3 4 dirs as I described because then the bale is drawn such that it might roll in that dir. That way a,eg, /push puzzle can be added 'off the shelf'. Currently we'd need a spe****t script to convert the custom bale image dirs to sane values.

Also, in general, where we don't have 8 images 2 3 4 5 can be doubled up. Use these defaults, not 6 7 8 1 because, ie, it's an iso display and dir 3 or 5 is often the default map facing (eg, for mobs).

EDIT: Didn't see two posts above. I looked into multiple fmasks a while ago. Technically easy. Just add a count and more data to the sc cmd (and interpret it clientskde). In theory we could have unlimited fmasks. In pdractice 2/3 per square seems a sensivle max.
