Waterfalls display in Map Editor, but not in game

[boru]

I just noticed this.

"Lavafalls" or whatever you might call the effect of putting a lava tile next to a chasm tile, will display in the game, but not waterfalls.

I know waterfalls are cutting-edge new, so is this a "known issue" or a bug?

laval falls are mainline included in 1.8 and long before.

Waterfalls are currently only in add-ons. The editor allows you to use any add-on terrain, but a scenario can't use special terrains unless they are included/referenced by the scenario/campaign WML.

I don't see them in 1.8.2 map editor.

They aren't a terrain type you place.

They occur whenever conditions are right, i.e. lava or lava chasm next to chasm, or lava next to lava chasm

Okay, that is what confused me because I didn't select waterfalls, they just "automatically" appeared when placing chasm next to water. I didn't realize it was because of an add-on.

Terrain WML is on my list of things to get familiar with ... still not up to it yet.

That one is admittedly sneakier than most add-on terrains.

I know. Then where do you see a lava fall here ? There seems to be a very tiny one in the top midth picture which I didn't notice before. Lava <-> lava chasm is pure rock however.

Admittedly "lava fall" is an overly dramatic term for the graphics we currently have. I'm simply referring to the custom transition.

And it turns out my memory wan't quite right.

Top-left, Top-middle: That's the lava fall such as it is. It would be nice if it was more dramatic, but i'm not sure if i'll get around to that.

Bottom-left, Bottom-middle: The same transitions should be used here, but they aren't. I've fixed that in trunk.



If you want to see it, in terrain-graphics.cfg immediately below:

Code: Select all

#chasm/lava transitions always below castles/walls

Add this line:

Code: Select all

{WALL_TRANSITION_LF   Qlf              Qx*                               -90  ground  lava-chasm}

Top-right, Bottom-right: I was wrong. We don't actually have custom lava to lava transitions to be used here.

It didn't work. Neither in core's terrain-graphics nor my add-on's. Never mind since it's not ideal anyway.

@boru
Where did you get your lavafalls from, then ? (add-on name ?)

No, it's just the trickly bit in your top middle screenshot. Admittedly, not much of a lavafall, but it was odd to see it there and the waterfalls absent.

My bad. The image path has changed. Previous post corrected.
