so, any news about the walls? [img]smile.gif[/img]

I'm actually drawing a cross. [img]smile.gif[/img] It needs a little shading, otherwise it looks good already.
However, I would still like to see what your own self-drawn walls look like, so I could create e.g. a graveyard wall that does not look totally different concerning the drawing/painting style.


Concerning the wall formats:
I removed the other three alternative wall formats from my config file, what would be bad if you included walls from other wall creators...
However I think Manikus has included my wall format as 4th alternative wall format into his config.txt file, right, Manikus? Perhaps he could send it to you?

However, I see we could also need a help file about editing the config.txt file...

lol yes. Anyway, the walls i create look like the default ones. But if u cant create walls like these, its ok, i can use urs too! (with some editing hehehe...lolz)!

Let's see what I can do...

You can just use this config.txt (it's at the very bottom) in place of the current one.

There are two ways to change the config.txt to make this work. 1~ replace an existing wall format OR 2~ adding to existing walls.
For 1 = Make sure the format number is changed to the one that you are replacing.
e.g. A4_WALL_RECT = 2,2,66,213 // 4 is the format number and would be changed to 3 or 2 or whatever number it is replacing.
For 2 = add at the end of the wall section and make sure the format number is one higher than the last one present i.e. 4 if there are 3 alternative walls. You also must change this line ->
MAX_ALTERNATE_WALL_FORMATS = 4 // 4 is the number of alternative walls and would include the one you have just added.

Thank you, Manikus.

Hmm, every time I want to post pictures, I'm not sure how to. Okay, let's try...

[Dinonykos]

Okay, it worked. So this is an Ankh you can put in front of Walls as an overlay. I remember that the clerics holy symbols in D&D look similar in a lot of games. I've also done a metal fence yesterday that might also be useful for a graveyard.

thank u Dinonykos, theyre AWESOME!

[Dinonykos]

Thank you.
Together with Manikus' config.txt file they should work perfectly.
One problem might be that if you put the Ankh over one of your walls, it might not work properly because of the different formats. I'll post a wall the next days. [img]smile.gif[/img]
And perhaps a gate for the fence.

This is true. The overlay (or door) has to be the same format as the wall it is over for it to show up properly.

I will be busy the next couple of days, but early next week, I will try to make a Photoshop action that translates from the 'tall wall' format into Dinonykos' new 'extended tall wall' format.
