That's right

That is right

[Star Guarded]

I'm happy to report that I got the crashing bug fixed, so the next version won't have it.

hey awesome job :D wooo.

[Dark_Tundra]

Can I have a floor tile check adjacent tiles for open space, and pick an appearance based on the result?
If so; how might I do this?
If not; is it infeasable to implement?

This would allow me to make floor trims for overhangs and balconies.

Code: [Select]

For clarity on what I mean;
     This, would look more like this:
┌─┬─┬─┬─┬─┐                ╔═╤═╤═╤═╤═╗
├─┼─┼─┼─┼─┘   _______\     ╟─┼─┼─┼─╔═╝
├─┼─┼─┴─┘     ̅ ̅ ̅ ̅ ̅ ̅ ̅ /     ╟─┼─╔═╧═╝
└─┴─┘                      ╚═╧═╝

 or this:

 ,┌─┬─┬─┬─┐
├─┼─┼─┼─̗┴─┘
├─┼─̗┴─┴΄
 '┴΄^{(why isnt there a diagonal line letter? I suppose it'll have to do...)}

Dude, there are two "diagonal line letters". We call them "Slash" and "Backslash". They look like this: / and \

Yeah, I know, I just can't resist an opportunity to be a smartass.

this is actually partially implemented. currently, a tile can check for open space on the upper left, upper right, or below, which is used for setting anti-escher borders on tiles.. it shouldn't be hard to extend that to more directions, though it would go a lot faster if you provide sample tiles for testing

...used for setting anti-escher borders on tiles...

Anti-Escher:  Quick, get a trademark, a patent, and a copyright before that's stolen!

I invite you to use them in my diagram then, show me how a pro does it.

For only adjacency:

For all possible combinations including adjacent and diagonal checking:

[Rose]

there are better ways to do that, you know. best way for that effect, for those tiles, would be to have 4 sprites with a gold bar on each edges, and 4 sprites with a gold pyramid on each corner, and just put conditionals on them.

anyhoo, I'll take a look at em.

[Rose]

this is what the tilesheet would look like:

I suppose I did get a little carried away with the whole "every single combination" thing...

Ah well... Next time...

corners are being difficult, but edges are fine.

That is a lot of blood. What happened?

Christ, what a bloodbath. I hope the contaminant spreading bug is fixed eventually.
That said, [Garrus]"Impressive!"[/Garrus].
