In
void add_detail_tile(FILE* stream, int t, int x, int y)Only in corner cliff cases e.g.:
case CLIFF_SE_NS:Use function add_detail padding:
- Check for neighbour padding for the both neighbour coordinates (one at each end of the corner cliff):
- Loop through padding vector
- If the padding vector contains the coordinate then check other coordinates
- else
- Add a new CLIFF_PADDING json element to the map file with appropriate offsets and coordinates
- Add the coordinates of the element to the padding vector
Background
The new map format is still incomplete: when two corner cliffs meet, they are too small to join.
What needs to be done
The terrain_generator needs to be edited to add extra padding cliffs side by side of the corner cliffs if they have a corner cliff neighbour.
New assets need to be created and cliff types added to the spritesheet.
How to do it
When creating the map tile object in the contour file generator, check if the tile is a corner tile and then check whether it has corner cliff neighbours. Keep track of added cliff padding to make sure not have duplication.
