I've got another question, does dragon do beaches? Oo
Sand at the same elevation as water, I was expecting a beach, guess I was wrong, how do I go about that?

Beaches are basically the same as desert as far the map goes. What makes a beach is what on it (statics-wise). I thought this script was included in the distro, but apparently not (that will be fixed in the upcoming next release)

Create a file beach.txt with the following

Code:

// -----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
// Syntax :
// [Frqequency] [ItemGroup1] [ItemGroup2] [ItemGroup3] ...
// 
// Itemgroup = [Item(hex)] [ZLevel(dec)] [Color(hex)] [Xmovement(dec)] [Ymovement(dec)]
// -----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
//Original Dragon scripts modified by StormCrow 5-23-01
//Here is the beach file for all you beachbums out there. No babes in bikinis unfortunately, you'll have to find your own.

Place this file into /dragon/scripts/items
Edit /dragon/scritps/items.txt to include this line:

Code:

05 0010 0000 0000 6143 4095 beach.txt

Leave the 05, this is the group that Dragon looks for.
0010 is the ditribution of items, roughly a percentage of tiles covered in the form of 001.0%, adjust as needed or adjust individual item in the beach.txt (first number, rough %)

0000 0000 6143 4095
The x-min y-min x-max y-max of the area on the map you want to set as beach.

If you have additional areas, add a line, copy the beach.txt to beach2.txt and use that file (each txt file must be unique for each line)

Let me know there's any other questions regarding this.

I guess I misunderstood the question. You were refering to the actual translation.

Ok, then in that case, there's not an existing script in place for that. Howevr, it can be created. I actually thought it was in there, but looking, it doesn't appear so. In the upcoming mod there will be one.

Creating two colors would be a waste of colors in the colortable.
There's going to be two scripts for the map transitions.
sand2water-dark (like the existing cliff type)
sand2water-light (like the beach type)

There could be a third type possible using the tiles from 0x1b9 - 0x1d1

You would enable/disable the scripts you want in the betweentrans.txt script.

For the statics, it would be similiar, you'd enable/disable the scripts you want from the items.txt script.

After the mod 10 is complete, the map making tutorial will be expanded on how to customize the script to do just that.

See what I said here:
http://www.ryandor.com/forum/viewtopic.php?t=1050

Doesn't mean it can't be done. Just means it's non-trivial.

I wonder what happens if you have both desert and beach on the same map... or both types of transitions?

Over the past few days, I've been very sick, but I have played around with the beaches coast a little. I'm hoping with the one additional color for beach, combined with the "fake" transition for it gett decent beaches shouldn't be too difficult. I'm still tweaking it for appearance at this point.
