Topic Subject: How are you making those smooth shorelines?
posted 03-29-00 01:41 PM CT (US)   
I've seen them on a lot of places lately, but I think that the first time I saw it was in Ingo's "The Quest". I know you can make and then delete bridges to get a smoother shoreline, but have you all done that? This is the most recent example. I hope you don't mind that I use your pic Yogurt?

See those smooth shorelines? How do you do them?

those look like a bridge placed over it!

i think that's the case because... look!! there's units standing on the water!

I'm not sure how Yogurt did this, he most likely did use a bridge as Mid Knight said. Here's a pic of a weird shoreline that I found...don't get me wrong, I'm not taking the credit if someone else found this first. I'm just saying that I stumbled across it. Anyhoo, here's the pic...

Do you mean the water to the south east too?

Okay, after several tries, I can't get the pic to show up. I'll try to explain it instead. What you do is: place two rows of farms with about two tiles between them. After doing that, cover the terrain between the farms completely with shallows (I haven't tried the other water terrains), so that some of the farm graphic disappears. When you test the scenario, the farm graphic extends into the water and fades away. I did this trying to make the farms look irrigated. This is pretty much it. So now that I've used as much space as the pic would've taken, I can breathe.

BTW, I hope I didn't make anyone angry who may have already found this, I'm not trying to take credit. If there was already a post with this, I must have missed it...I'm just posting what I (and probably others) stumbled across.

David, in the pic the roads covered the shore part of the water tiles...what, lemme see, yeah, the road covers the shore...Atleast I think so.
And to get the units on the water, Yogurt put transport ships on every water tile space and put 1 unit in each. Then he tested it and then went back into the editor. Then he deleted the ships but the units remain. So, he rotated them the way he wanted them to be and there you go! Units on water. (I think that's how he did it)

Oh, BTW, you can't put units on bridges! (I think)

As I stated before, I already know about that you can place a bridge and then delete it, but look at the little lake in the north east part. I's not very straight shapes. Oh well, I guess I'll just have to try myself.

It's because of the terrain.

On a related topic : how do you put gates over water?
I tried everything I could think of and it don't work...

I need those for fortified harbors.
