First time making complex terrain graphics, pls help.

[BajMic]

Hello,

I am trying to implement some big pieces into my terrain graphics, but the matter is particularly confusing to me. Could you please take a look if there is anything obvious that I am doing wrong?

        [tile]
            pos=1
            type=Rb^Qov
            set_no_flag=overlay
        [/tile]

        probability=100

	[image]
 		name="terrain/Dam.png"
            	layer=0
            	base=90,160
            	center=90,144
    	[/image]
[/terrain_graphics]

terrain/Dam.png should probably just be Dam.png.

In terrain graphics, all images are assumed to be relative to images/terrain/. For example, writing 'image=grassland.png' means that the image file is images/terrain/grassland.png.

I'm not sure about the rest of it...

[BajMic]

I checked the pathway. I had a "scenario/images/terrain/dam.png" directory, then moved the file to "scenario/images/dam.png", changed the directory accordingly and now it works. Strange, but at least it works now. Thanks, gnombat.

[gnombat]

That still doesn't sound right - what is "scenario/"? Is that just supposed to represent the name of your add-on?

Also, is it "Dam.png" (uppercase first letter) or "dam.png" (lowercase)? It may not matter on Windows, but if the name does not match exactly you may end up with an add-on that does not work for Linux users (because Linux uses a case-sensitive filesystem).

[BajMic]

The name of the file matches. I was just sloppy upper/lowercase in the post.

Ok, so my add-on is currently in the

wesnoth/data/campaigns/Test_campaign

folder. Inside that folder I also have

Test_campaign/images/terrain

folder.

If I were to hazard a guess, this directory is similar to the one in core data. I.e.,

wesnoth/data/core/images/terrain

. Would it be possible, that the game confused the folders?

[Ravana]

[binary_path] specifies where game looks for images.

No addon can be in wesnoth/data. Addons can be found in userdata folder.

[BajMic]

If I may, I have another question.

I can't find it in the documentation - how am I supposed to deal with overlapping tilesets, like here below? The tiles overlap and concaves are missing, but I can't really understand how flags work. How can I fix it?
