Rivers in pak96.comic January 28, 2009, 09:36:03 am Now are rivers available. I think we should collect a few ideas.1. How should the normal river bed look like? I think a tile without a border is the best. So we can build a river bigger it is needed.2. How should the slopes look like? Possible are rapids and wather-locks. But on a rapid wouldn't drive a ship normaly. And a wather-lock is not animated, so it is all time open.3. How should a watersource (the end/beginning of river) look like?To this I have no idea yet.

And a wather-lock is not animated, so it is all time open.Maybe, I will implement, that ships can't drive on river slopes, if the author of a pak set want this. I think this is possible, if a pak set provides two water ways for rivers: one normal for flat river tiles and one for the slopes with max speed zero. I will talk to prissi about this. Quote Selected

This would mean that rivers are not usable for ships on full length at the beginning, but only within even segments.Later the players can add locks to overcome this restriction Quote Selected
Re: Rivers in pak96.comic Reply #5 – January 28, 2009, 03:51:55 pm 1. How should the normal river bed look like? The current graphics look like a "plain water road" than a river, and they can't convince me they are river yet. For a convincing river, I think that a little gorge (2-3 pixels depth) should be drawn in each margin (see pic).Now if all rivers will be laid down in valleys and will not have a border, then gorges will not be necessary.2. How should the slopes look like? I'm for waterfalls (animated?) for slopes too, and for all paksets.3. How should a watersource (the end/beginning of river) look like?Like a stream. I don't like seeing a river source as large as river in course. Quote Selected

How should a watersource (the end/beginning of river) look like?In nature there are frequently two kinds of "springs".The one is located in a slight slope, and therefore immediately starts a small river.The other is located in a slight depression, and first forms or fills some kind of lake, from which the river then starts.Maybe the river generation code could even consider these rules, create a lake if the source is in the middle of a plain area, and start a with a more narrow river tile if the source is in a more mountainous area?
