web tiles for Gervais tileset

eastwind · January 19, 2020, 05:02

I have a vague memory that I saw this reported in another thread, but I wasn't using gervais tileset then. Now I am, and I noticed that in the 4.2.0 drop the webs don't render right.

There are tiles in the .png for webs, but the graf-dvg.prf file is missing references to them, so anyone can fix this for their copy by adding these lines to lib\tiles\gervais\graf-dvg.prf using a simple text editor:

Code:

#webs
trap:web:torch:0x9B:0x93
trap:web:los:0x9B:0x93
trap:web:lit:0x9B:0x94
trap:web:dark:0x9B:0x95

The lines can go anywhere, but I added them after the rock fall trap, that seemed to make sense to me.

And I've made one other change to my copy of the file.

When I was fighting "Beorn, the Shape Changer" he shape-changed to his bear form and there was no tile for that defined. I poked around in the .png and picked a likely-looking bear tile, but I don't know if it's correct. Right below this line:

Code:

monster:Beorn, the Shape-Changer:0x8D:0xC9

I added this line:

Code:

monster:Beorn, the Mountain Bear:0x93:0xAF

Nothing else is using that tile, so it might be the right one. Its a black bear with a blue outline, the tile just to the left of the witch tile.

I don't recall whether I tested this change with wizard mode or not, it's been a while since I made it. YMMV.

I already have a pull request on GitHub with a few corrections to Shockbolt's prf. I could verify these changes and put them in there, too, if the devs are amenable.

I posted this thread before I saw the new 'preferred method for reporting bugs' is to open a github issue. So there's no issue for this (yet).

Another nit to pick on the gervais tileset - the tile used for Fundin Bluecloak shows a guy with a green cloak. He's short and wielding a staff, so that's good.
