During the week I will try to collect some screenshots of mod 11's new features and post them here. For now a couple new small transitions:

The red tile transition-


The dark wood transition-


The light wood transition-

T2A style transitions:

Forest2Swamp-


Jungle2Swamp-


Grassbump2Swamp-


The last needs a little fixing but you get the idea.

Hei thought i would just give you a note that the dragonmod 11 crashes when ever i try to compile,and decompile my map i always get
"DRAGON for Windows"
"Access violation at address 0040401A in module 'Dragon.exe'. Write of address 0283B1C4."

Any ideas on this? my main consern is to compile ofcourse, is it becaus my map is made for dragon 9+ ? anyways just thought i would let you know about the error incase there is something that needs to be checked out.

Goes back to working with mod9+

Wrong colortable would give unintended results, but it shouldn't crash Dragon. I zipped up my directory that I am working out of and uploaded it, so I know it all works properly. Not sure what would be causing that.

Todays new upload includes fixes to the grassbump scripts. I didn't like the altitudes so I fixed them more like the coasts. Of course this adds some of the inherint blockiness that is only fixed by lowering the adjacent tiles (2nd tile in from transition). I am hoping Darus comes up with a way to fix this, but it would involve a different method of transitioning and is probably very complex. Still Punt's new WF shows much promise. If he can make the interface as easy to use as the old WF it will make this task much easier.

I think I have gotten all the map transitions done. I'm going to add some grass2 for the new wood and tile but that's about all I can think of.

Finishing up the mod now focuses on statics between transitions. The big things are lava, stars, caves, and dungeon walls (I plan on adding more for all the new floorplates).

time i start moving my map over to mod 11 from mod 9. Where do i start, load the ACO file into photoshop then just change all the colors on the map over to the correct colors on the mod 11 colortable?

yeah. convert the bmp to rgb, pic a color with the selection/select color area (no idea how its called because i have a german photoshop) or select them with the magic wand tool with 0 tolerance and fill with the right mod 11 color.
than set the image mode to indexed colors and select the mod 11 colortable and safe.

This happens when i draw Grass 0 and in the Middle of it Grassbump 10 or 20. So, what did I do wrong

This is what it looks like in Photoshop...

Ooops, sorry forgot to log in. That was my Post up there.

what exactly is wrong there? looks fine to me

rage88 shouldnt it add a cliff like edge to the grass bump part? and not just a slanted hill. anyways , i'm still learning so i wont say for sure hehe.

Yes, it should add a Cliff Edge to it, like seen on Stormcrows Screens. I mean, it works better than Mod9 (got Marble instead of the Grass...), but It?s not what I want. Just normal Grassbumps. Can?t be impossible. I hope Crow?s back soon.

Just got back into town today.
I made some major changes to the way the grassbump works.
Grassbump does not transition to grass anymore but only to grassbump at other altitudes. This was done so that you can make breaks in the ridgeline that are walkable grass. The other difference with it is that it will produce dark coasts whereas regular grass produces the light coasts.

The way to do this now is make an area of grassbump 0 surrounding grassbump 10 or 20 or 30.

Ah, I see. Going to try that immediately. Hope it works!

Well, it works perfectly now, Storm! Thanks! If you wouldn?t be a Man, I?d kiss you.

New upload of Mod11 today. You can find it in the usual place ( http://stormcrow.ryandor.com/ ). Nothing big, 3 fixed scripts (see submissions forum for which 3).

Don't expect anything major. I'm working on scripts for UOL right now ( Orbsydia.com ) and as I find and fix errors (gasp! yes I made quite a few) in the Mod11 scripts I'll upload them here.

Stay tuned for grass2jungle (1 that I know is messed up, but haven't gotten to yet)
