Help with Toasty Fields
« on: August 11, 2015, 20:51:09 »
Currently I'm using a Community Tileset in one of my levels, specifically Toasty Fields. However, I'm having issues using the tree house in it. No matter what I do, I can't get the bottom to match up with the top leaves. Here are two different attempts; neither of them look right. Can anybody lend me a hand here?

Admittedly, the trees on this set are kind of confusing to deal with, but they are kind of meant to be borrowed from each-other, if that makes sense.

Here's what I came up with, and it seems to mesh properly.
Things to remember when writing figures of speech and sound:
The power of poetry comes from the ability to defy logic. Defy logic often.

Use a metaphor and tell us that your lover is the sky. Tell us that your lover is the sky. When you do that, we won't believe you. We won't believe you because saying so makes no sense, but we'll see a meaning. We'll see a meaning.

The other thing is the ability to be remembered. Love anything.

I gave it a go, too, though the level I used it in is currently not being worked on until after 'Dragon Myth'. It's a gorgeous set once you get your head around it.

As far as I can tell Fubaka put it together correctly, but it looks like it lines up badly. The set got rearranged several times, so I thought something might have been misaligned, but there's no way I can see to adjust the placement of the tiles. Unfortunately, I don't have any older versions of the tileset or screenshots of test screens. At any rate, you can edit the set yourself to make it work better.

Honestly I don't think it's misaligned. I just think that house always looked a bit awkward.

Thanks, Fubaka! I think I might have tried that combination before, but it looked a bit wonky then, as Egomassive said. Still, it looks okay enough.
