Sea Rocks

#1

Post by KINGTUT10101 »

Some rocks for your oceans. These will spawn naturally in the water and can be found in the decoration tab. There are only three different types at the moment, but I might make more in the future of I get requests to do so. These are the improved version of ocean rocks.

Glory to Arstotzka.
it would be good if rocks can only spawn near coasts because it would be really strange that rock is in the middle of the ocean.

That's what I tried to do, but it didn't work like I wanted it to. I set the height to -175, but it didn't work.

Nice 8)

You might add some more contrast and shadows so the rocks look more plastic:

Also you might load all frames from a single image by providing the width w for each frame, height h for each frame and the amount of frames count (they will be loaded from left to right from image bmp):

Code: Select all

[
{
"type":"decoration",
"height":1,
"width":1,
"needs land":false,
"needs water":true,
"author":"Kingtut 101 and Theo (Water Texture)",
"title":"Sea Rocks",
"text":"Some rocks for your oceans.",
"id":"oceanrocks.kt101",
"price":1000,
"frames":
[
{"bmp":"searocks.png","w":32,"h":15,"count":3,"handle y":3}
],
"spawn":
{
"p":0.1,
"height":-175,
"radius":100
},
"draw ground":true
}
]
Also I recommend to use a positive value for radius as behavior for negative ones is undefined.

It's a problem with special characters which are a result of using tabs. I replaced them with spaces, so it should work now.

The problem is the so called non-breaking space character, which seems to be used by code boxes automatically. To solve the issue I'll adjust the plugin loader, I hope that will fix some issues in the future :)

Two questions to Lobby:

Can I use those textures?

What is radius? Is it how far apart they spawn from each other?

This is your texture :P

I tried to make it clear:
Image

Your rockets can only spawn on tiles whose height is in between height - radius and height + radius for radius being a positive number. They will spawn more likely on tiles whose height is near height but at max with probability p.

So will having a high radius make them more or less common?
(Sorry it's still a bit confusing for me)
