Post subject:  Beachs, I think I know how its done

Ok first things first. The pallet would need to be changed some.

1) sand would need to start at -6 then -3 then -1 and then 0
2) then script would need to be written

So when dragon encountered a -6 sand/beach tile it would go over it
by say 2 tiles. Meaning it would overlay the beach/sand tile with a static
coastline tile. So when building a beach the person building the map
would need to edge the beach say 2 or 3 tiles in with -6 tile, then line that
(heading into land) with -3 then goto -1 then ofcourse 0 that should give you a OSI style beach.

So it may look like this. these are tiles elevation numbers

0 0 0 -1 -3 -6 -6 -6
0 0 0 0 0 -1 -3 -6 -6 -6
0 0 0 0 -1 -3 -3 -6 -6 -6
0 0 0 -1 -3 -3 -6 -6 -6
0 0 -1 -1 -3 -3 -6 -6 -6

So as you can see if dragon covered only 2 -6 sand/beach tiles there would still be 1 visable to the players. Also being at -6 puts it below
the water tile. If drawen right you would still get a very nice looking
beach/coastline.

How do west and north coasts look? Those tend to be the problem areas for most folks.

Thanks for the other pics and the suggestions, in any case. :)

They seem to look alright. I wrote tutorial on how to make them. Just Download it and check it out :) Im still working on trying to make a script to do the work for me, but right now I use WorldForge.
