Post subject:  Desert Mountains Transitions

Hi,

I think I've found a problem with the Mountain-->Desert transitions. Here's what it gives me :

Is there is any way to make those look a little bit better ? (This time I downloaded the lastest version from Stormcrow site http://stormcrow.ryandor.com)

No one knows if it's a problem or not ?

The transitions are correct. I would daresay it's your technique. What Z mountains do you have on the edge? It looks like they are too high, making the edge transitions somewhat jagged.

Post subject:  hmm

five for the transation? i think that's your problem. try 30 or more, that should work better.
btw: what z level is the desert?

30 or more for a transition? I dont see how that will work better.

It does look like the transitions are improper. Looks like theres one tile thats wrong direction possibly. Can you maybe go to that spot with World Forge Map Edit, and post a screenshot as well?

This is an error that is technically in the art files. The tranistion tiles for that mountain to sand corner is too small. There is only a couple of pixels of mountain in it. This makes it look like there is a pure sand tile there. You can fix these with another tile piece, but I'm not sure if it's 3D compliant or not.

Dragon scripts by default use the adjacent tile set for the transitions. You will need to make the following changes to the mountain to desert transition script. sand2mountain.txt in the older ones and mountain2sand.txt in mod 11.

012A -> 07BE
012B -> 07B0
012C -> 07BD
012D -> 07BF

I have never checked to see what these tiles look like in the 3D client, but I'd be willing to bet they are not supported and you'll see lava tiles (3D client's replacement tile for unknown) instead. If you are only going to use the 2D client then this should fix your problem.

Here's a snippet to show what I'm talking about.

Quote:
// NE corner is TileA
BAAABBBB 012d -02 002
AAAABBBB 012d -02 002
BAAAABBB 012d -02 002
AAAAABBB 012d -02 002
AAAAABAB 012d -02 002
BAAABAAB 012d -02 002

AAAABAAB 012d -02 002
BAAABABA 012d -02 002
BAAAABAB 012d -02 002



It should be changed to read:

Do note that the sand2mountain and mountain2sand files are reversed. The n/s should be as the s/n, etc. However the nw corner is tile A does not get swapped with se corner is tile A but instead with nw corner is tile B. I haven't done any further testing with this transition file, because I've pretty much lost all interest in UO, but I do check in here to help answer questions and might possibly work on projects if anything interesting comes up. I might also work more on scripts when Darus comes out with the next release, but as I have not heard from him in sometime, I am not working on anything currently.
