Hate to say it Radien but it does look like it will go overlooked, due to his whole taking a "long long break" from ZC.

Maybe so.

Oh well. If that's the case, I hope someone ELSE will read it, at least.

Don't worry, somebody did.

But, if he ever does read these posts, you could layer the mountain-side water tiles under the shore tiles, sort of like I did in this shot:

Yeah... well, it's basically a tutorial in reply form.
"I told you so" about your opinion on the tiles, or about an "angry Radien approaching"?

I'm a little annoyed about the way this topic was introduced -- since it is no stretch of the imagination to think that a topic with this title might be a "hate thread" -- but I'm not annoyed about a tileset user needing help.

I might become annoyed again, however, if my help is dismissed or overlooked. Since the release of the DoR tileset, I've tried to set myself apart by helping users whenever they need it. Today I spent over an hour reviewing the tileset and working on example screenshots, all so I could type up the instructional post above. I'm perfectly fine spending the time to write it. I'll only be annoyed if all that is ignored.

No. i did not mean it. i just hate it when stuff like that happens to my quest. i love dor tileset. there is no better tileset.
its the best. i did not mean to offend you in any way. i am sorry. please forgive me raidien sama.

yeah, thats in pure. or with pure tiles in dor. the shore tiles i am using are 2 tiles long. so,
i can't do that.

With a little bit of tile editing, I'm thinking you can remove the abrupt-ness of the transition from the mountain water tiles to the seaform shoreline. Probably not the best solution, but may look better.

(Should be directly rippable, use layering to achieve the effect on the screen.)

Haha, okay. Well, don't get frustrated. It's just a hobby, right? And you don't have to think my tileset is the "best evar" to use it.

No need for "sama." I'm not royalty. Just spell it "Radien" and we'll be good.

Now, continuing on to more tile stuff...

With a little bit of tile editing, I'm thinking you can remove the abrupt-ness of the transition from the mountain water tiles to the seaform shoreline. Probably not the best solution, but may look better.

The edit is visually pleasing, but it has a slight logical problem. You see, the dark water at the edge of the rock is supposed to represent rock face extending deep into the water. That makes it strange that it can be seen under the surf in those seashore tiles, which should be shallow water.

I gave it a try myself, with a slightly different take: I altered the diagonal rock/water tile instead of the surf tile. I also included a corner rock/surf tile so you don't have to use layering for this method. Here you go.



For one combo, I included an animation for LTTP simple mountains, because hey, why not.

The surf (marked "shallow water") is just an example, as is the plain rock tile to the right of it. You don't have to rip them; they're duplicates in the DoR tileset.


EDIT: Forgot to add an example screenshot to show how to use the tiles. Hopefully you can locate them in the image, given the other screenshots in this thread.

This a lot of fuss over a very small graphical bug. Really, don't stress out so much about these things. Nintendo still get's away with small graphic mistakes; the player won't be focusing on little things like "geez, why don't these graphic match up?"

This would be an extreme truth. Most people wouldn't notice such a small mistake.

sama dose not have to be said to royalty. it could be, master, or just someone who is much higher ranked then yourself.
witch is what i meant.

[Radien]

You could call use "sama" to refer to a master by name, but the actual noun for master is a little different. Radien-sama is like saying "esteemed Radien" or somesuch.

Anyway, thanks, but either way I don't need to sit on a higher rank all the time.

I hope you find those tiles useful in some way.

Well, as diehard fans we tend to be...particular. It's only to be expected.

When you are developing maps, and small errors like that arise, it can be very annoying, but once it's revised, it makes all the tile transitions much smoother. Sure, you may not notice it while in "game mode," but after everything is said and done, and you walk around searching for things, small annoyances such as these do catch your eye. Nothing to complain about, but also nothing to be satisfied with .

[Nightmeres]

I never actually made a quest with Dor tileset. I may make one in the future though.

also I don't usually see the graphical errors in my own quests until I'm finished with the game so I don't really a worry about them that often. but that's just an opinion

Hah, I work exactly the opposite. I try to make sure that every screen is perfect before I move on to the next one.
