This plugin shows a new feature called "frame alignment area". Set this attribute to true, and you will be able to build your plugin with an areal tool (similar to "frame alignment"
which lets you build in a linear way). In order to work you have to provide 16 frames which represent all neighbor combinations.
For fake hills our image looks like
- fake_terrain.png (8 KiB) Viewed 15397 times
And the code for three distinct heights
Code: Select all
[
{
"id":"$deco_fake_terrain00",
"type":"decoration",
"title":"Terrain level 1",
"text":"",
"width":1,
"height":1,
"frames":[{"bmp":"fake_terrain.png","w":32,"h":20,"count":16}],
"frame alignment area":true
},
{
"id":"$deco_fake_terrain01",
"type":"decoration",
"title":"Terrain level 2",
"text":"",
"width":1,
"height":1,
"frames":[{"bmp":"fake_terrain.png","w":32,"h":20,"count":16,"handle y":16}],
"frame alignment area":true
},
{
"id":"$deco_fake_terrain02",
"type":"decoration",
"title":"Terrain level 3",
"text":"",
"width":1,
"height":1,
"frames":[{"bmp":"fake_terrain.png","w":32,"h":20,"count":16,"handle y":20}],
"frame alignment area":true
}
]
Note:
I don't want to compete with other plugins in any way. The purpose of this plugin is to show how things can be done so you can use it in your own projects. For this reason you may use this plugin (images and json) however you want, also without giving credit to me or theo. Have fun

Draw ground will lead to strange effects when you build it at the coast line
You should be fine if you build level 2 only within in level 1 and level 3 only within level 2. To be prepared for any cases you would have to adjust the graphics, but this plugin is more for demonstration.

I suggest to add the following
Code: Select all
"conductive":false, // So it doesn't conduct electricity
"destroyable":false, // So it cannot burn
About the bridge, road overrides decoration, that's why it works.

Placing trees on the hills isn't possible. One might modify the graphics to achieve something like that.

Despite having a plug-in with lower quality I will still be continuing to develop my terrain.

I think that the quality is quite good. I adjusted the graphics on my downloaded version. Looks great!

I understand that Lobby wanted to showcase the area-tool option here, however, I think the line-tool or a set of puzzle pieces would be better suited for the purpose of making fake hills.
The reason is that it would allow you to still build something on that "hill", because only the space of the hillsides would be occupied and not the tops. Also I would indeed use "draw ground" so that the pngs only need to include the actual hillsides and not a ground texture that could be noticable.

Interesting idea, that would be a real fake. Rotating would be a problem though.
