Oh, thank you for that. That was bugging me about 2.6 (where civ2civ3 will support ocean "mines").
The ruleset has to make them separate extra, though, for them to have different gfx. That's not the case at the moment, I think.
I made this patch for civ2civ3 some time ago, where this new oil rig gfx comes very handy.

The only thing I see offhand, is that my test spec has L1 sprite for radiating rocks and alien forest referenced. They're just a reference to a blank tile (2, 1), but AFAIK they're still needed. (The layer's match_type is used by oceanic terrain's match_with) [Besides the whole being for 2.6 instead of my 2.5 spec]

What is the exact issue? Is it bad style, could it cause problems in the future or does it cause problems I weren't able to see? Is this documented anywhere?

Bug filed. Fix included.

Now that Sveinung is working on these tilesets, I think some things have been updated in ampliohexbig that should be ported to hexemplio...

See bug #20534.

Hmm, that's quite an old one, isn't it? I've actually already done the necessary changes to he PNG for a02, though. Just hoping to get an idea for some of the missing GFX beforehand.

I'm checking tilesets against a long time ago (2003) obsoleted 'flags_are_transparent' (they always are) and amplio2hexbig seems to be one of the tilesets having such an unused definition (with high enough debug level client says that it's unused entry).

I'm alive! been unable to access internet since November. Noticed a bug with latest released version, void0 and void00 are still read as void2 and void3 in XU tilespecs, breaking them. Will have some updates in the next couple weeks hopefully.

v2.5.11 up! With lots of changes. Got a lot of things I wanted done in here. Some embellishments from BFW, more hill and mountain variations, and even bogs (and a foliated version in mangroves, both having oceanic and land versions) I also broke down the files into something a bit more modular, and also licensed my own original stuff as CC0. Basically, any terrain or anything with more than a dozen or so versions has its own file. Also altered a lot of file names to make them sorted better.

I think the BFW style transparent black and white lines for map grid look much better than the previous black lines too.

Noticed Commandoes unit reference is missing, along with a few typos and other minor mistakes.
