I noticed in the tileset there is a tile used for some rock in the process of being destroyed that could maybe render good as water/blood too.

If you want to try and see how the animation of the water render, here is the 0.48 tileset with the 2 water tiles setup :

Woah, I see in your screenshot a well... Does making a well like that work?!  I never even considered that, I normally make complicated systems with underground reservoirs...

[Rose]

it works, but dorves get happier thoughts from higher wells.

[Robsoie]

Yes it works nicely to prevent my stupid dwarves to go drink way too far from the zone assigned or too far from the fortress defenses.
As it seems the dwarves will give priority to the well, allowing me to control a bit more where will be their drink zone.

I remember before doing such thing that more than very often, to not say everytime, despite the orders were set to drink only from the designed zone, dwarves were happily ignoring my drink zone and sometime going very far to drink.
Can't count how much of those idiots i lost to goblin ambushes, or in the case of difficult embarks to dangerous animals.

I like the general look of this water better, but it would be nice if something could be done to make it blend a little better.. But over all even in its current state i prefer it over the current one

Trying to use this kind of water display :


I have tried to rework the water/blood tile :

So far made only the same tile for the 2 ones that the water use, so it is rather non animated.

The tile itself if someone wants to try to work his pixel skills on it to improve the result

Actually could you make this one a little less "intense" blue? I maybe like this one better

Could you show it in the game?

Sure, here:

[Robsoie]

Blending it may be difficult for me, i'm not sure how to do it correctly, maybe darkening the tile, i'll have to test.

About this (a bit calm) water version, i tried to make it animated with a modification of the 2nd water tile, here is the tileset to try it :

Arent colors decided by the colors.txt located in your DF\data\init\ ?

[Harmonica]

Not if you fiddle with the transparancy and alpha channels.

[Tormy]

The water tile in Wesnoth looks pretty cool btw ->

*edit*

Now that I think about it....it would be awesome if DF would look like Wesnoth graphically...

[Harmonica]

The river is nice, hopefully we will be able to do transitions of that kind of sophistication.

I finally got around to including this set, and making it easy (I think) to switch between Ironhand/Mayday/Phoeb, in my Lazy Newb Pack.
I'm not really playing much DF lately, but I'm exclusively playing with this set now.

I wonder if in newer DF versions, graphics will be separated a bit better from the raws and easier to switch between/install. Sounds like it will be to some degree.

Nice

Unfortunately I think it may complicate switching tilesets because there will be a lot more variation possible?

So many possibilities with shaders, including theoretically awesome water, but we'll see how it goes

IH is back from vacation but still pretty busy so we probably wont get any cool new critters for a while

[Zerocyde]

Is there a key anywhere that shows what each ironhand tile is?

Adding a geometry shader increases framerate by 50%, from 330 to 485, so I think I'm just going to do that by default. It's a win because it means the vertex shader gets run once per tile instead of six times in duplicate; that's using my very simple default vertex shader on an 8600GTM, which is pretty much the worst case for this geometry shader optimization.



(And the framerate is normally limited to 50. I don't think we're going to run into GPU speed issues anytime soon.)

[Baughn]

..hmm

...actually, what do I need the vertex shader for? I can do most of that stuff in the geometry shader, I think. Let's see...

[Sean Mirrsen]

I don't know, fluctuate the edges of tiles between water and ground to create wave effects? Or wait, tiles aren't mapped to polygons. Well, I guess you don't need vertex shading much.
