I don't know. The sheet includes other seven squares, also fliped but with no shadow tweaking.

Maybe I'll empty them out, then post it in my site and, after that, to the Louvre.

Or tweak the other squares first, but that will be for later.

Nevermind. I've figured it all.

What do you think about the altar's new orientation?

IMAGE(http://upl.silentwhisper.net/uplfolders/upload0/altar-south.jpg)

I've also tried to change the shadowing, but I'm not sure about the results:

IMAGE(http://upl.silentwhisper.net/uplfolders/upload0/Altar-South-2.jpg)First version.

IMAGE(http://upl.silentwhisper.net/uplfolders/upload0/Altar-South-3.jpg)Tweaked version.

The code for the terrain:

begindefineterrain 500;
clear;
te_name = "Altar";
te_which_sheet = 500;
te_ed_which_sheet = 501;
te_which_icon = 6;
te_ed_which_icon = 4;
te_can_look_at = 1;
te_special_property = 41;
te_move_block_n = 1;
te_move_block_s = 1;
te_move_block_e = 1;
te_move_block_w = 1;
As you can see, I had to use another sheet for the editor icons. :)

Thanks. I've already noticed I was scripting in the wrong script, but I still have the problem. Here my roussadata.txt script:

beginscendatascript;


begindefineterrain 500;
clear;
te_name = "Altar South";
te_which_sheet = 500;
te_ed_which_sheet = 500;
te_which_icon = 3;
te_ed_which_icon = 3;
The editor doesn't display the right icon and only shows part of it. It doesn't even appear in the game. The sheet has the right measures (56 height) (I've jus edited one existing sheet, from Data/Terrain Graphics/).

I did. Didn't find anything. I've already saved it as G500.BMP. Don't know where to place the te_which_sheet 500. Tried in the town script, under begindegineterrain; but nothing...

How do I insert the custom terrain? How do I make it appear in the editor?

This is stupid. There is only one altar pic, facing east. That means that if I want it facing south, i'll need to edit it with a picture editor? Or is there a way to rotate it?

Much better: Erik Westra made the BoA Editor Cookbook. From pages 70 to 79 (in PDF version) you can find a list of all items, with their graphic and number.

A similar list existes for all creatures/NPCs.

You can get the link in my site (check my signature).

You should really pay attention to Erik's work. It's excelent indeed.
