I had a look through the widelands media and I noticed, that the image resolutions of the buildings are not consistent. I am not familiar with the building sizes however. I was wonder- ing what would happen, if someone would, say double the resolution of such an image? I guess the image would be scaled accordingly to make it fit to the dimensions the buil- ding has in the game. Is that correct? Also, is there a way to test the game with modified graphics? For example to test if a model fits the style of the other mo- dels? Also I couldn't find the correct terrain textures. I would ex- pect to find them under widelands-media>graphics>worlds>[tileset_name], but all I can see are the loading screens. I can see tilesets under widelands-media>graphics>Misc>roads, but I guess they are only to see if the roads will fit the terrain. Are those ground textures seen ingame present in the cur- rent state of the widelands-media project? Thank you for your time and efford with kind regards Hendrik Edited: 2017-10-09, 13:46 Top Quote

This repository is a bit messy and does not contain most of the images used in game. Mostly it contains some basic files for creating images, such as Blender files (.blend) or GIMP files (.xcf). You can find all used images, also for the terrain, in the widelands data folder after installing widelands. Where you can find this directory depends on your operating system.

You can make a copy of the widelands data folder, put in there your modified images, adjust the corresponding lua file(s) and run widelands with option --datadir=/path/to/your/personal/datafolder But i guess i did not really understand what you mean.

We need to finish implementing spritemaps first. Busy indexing nil values Top Quote

I managed to test some images in the game (my headquarter has a red smily-face now). I also was able to test a build ani- mation for a building which had none before. So far I have to say, that your config API is extremely easy to understand and to use. I wanted to ask if the scale factor applies to the time scale, since it is in the animation category, but since there also is a setting for fps this question is already answered, I guess. I will try some things out and report back to you guys. By the way: I noticed a lot of german words for the textures like "wiese01". Is the core team of developers german? Das wär ja der hammer! Thank you for your time and efford With kind regards form the green heart of Germany Hendrik EDIT: I tried changing the terrain texture resolution. I tried 256x256 and 128x128 at first, which caused the game to crash. But then I also tried 64x64 for my texture, which also made the game crash. I simply exported a .PNG file with GIMP. when I replaced my faulty texture with a copy of one of the other standart textures it worked again. So my question is: Do terrain textures need a special encoding for .PNG? I just ex- ported the image with standart settings which includes an alpha channel I think (not that I need one). Could that be the cause of the trouble and are higher resolutions possible? Edited: 2017-10-10, 11:23 Top Quote

This project was founded by a German and there have always been Germans on the core development team, although we're an international bunch.
