A compromise would be http://imagebin.ca/view/N2Zb9d.html which uses a combination of both. But the little egypt map shows a problem with my approach as Christian points out. Also, there is little point in giving water a different blue colour depending on the height. I would rather find a nice blue colour, put it in lib/ivis_opengl/piepalette.c and use it for water. > case TER_CLIFFFACE: > p[0] = 0x80 + (col / 2); > p[1] = 0x40 - (col / 4); > p[2] = 0x40 - (col / 4); > break; Looks good on little egypt, but way too crisp red on other, more normal maps. - Per _______________________________________________ Warzone-dev mailing list Warzone-dev@gna.org https://mail.gna.org/listinfo/warzone-dev
