Isophex 3.0

Post by GriffonSpade »

Was going to add oil rig to the rest of the tilesets but noticed the disarray Isophex was in. Spent about twelve hours cleaning it up and improving it.

Done with 2.93.99 fc204fc7fa QT

Cool, thanks.
I've created feature #680743 to track getting this into git.

I've had a look at the 2.5 version so far.
Blink comparison of S2_5 isophex with 7 July GriffonSpade version (with light-coloured lake)

It has noticeably less blending / dithering, particularly N/S; was that deliberate?

Also, rivers.spec was missing a line:

Code: Select all

tiles = { "row", "column", "tag"

Dangit, I thought I'd updated that and had it fixed. Must have saved the local version and not updated the one that went into the zip :/

NW/SE actually, and yes. It was actually blending with the tiles to the north, west, south, and east (rather than northwest and southeast), which causes problems especially when there is a vertical strait, causing it to blend right over top the water tiles, giving it a weird detritus effect.

Thanks.

I've now (lightly) tested this on on all branches, and plan to commit it (as corrected) soon.

One thing I noticed on S3_0 was a river discontinuity, but the previous isophex does the same so it's not a regression. Don't know if this is a tileset bug or engine bug/limitation; I've reproduced the same thing on S2_5.

Ah, I only fixed the connectors, so I suspect that when the tileset was made, someone put the wrong one there. I'll take a look at it.

Ah, really obvious and quick to find when looking for it. An easy fix.

For the record, hrm #694717 adds your isophex graphic to every other tileset (trident, isotrident, hex2t) except Amplio.
