Question for Doom or specialists : is there a way (in modding) to add border of coast in SoP, like Time of Fury ? If yes, I would try to do that (probably will need some informations aids about Vsv files, etc, a part modding where I am a little poor.

Take a look at the sprites_depth.csv file in the map skin first

Seen that beach = code 8

But then ? [:D]

maybe use the editor to change the hex to a different look?

Mmmmm, I don't know : I tried that, and editor and game have crashed. The editor seems a little capricious : when I open the campaing pacific, I have each time a error message. If I open the Guam scenario, I have not the message but after saving in modifications, the scenario Guam oes not appears in scen list in the game[8|]. I tried to read the manual of editor but founded no contents. Has some one here used the editor to modify the Pacific Campaign ? (map or other elements). It's a little fruStrating to not have beaches, sea borders are a little too geometric.

welk, the sprites_depth defines how are the layers drawn on the screen.
The smaller the number the lower the part of the image is drawn

Yes, I see what you means, but : I tried to set 8 for plain and 6 for sea : Effectivly, plain hexagons "eat" some part of sea hex. But the geometric effect stays... What I did mean is : how to place beach on map (teh editor seems not allow beach in terrains tiles.


Please, if you have time : give me precise indications about how to process. It's very difficult to search in the dark [:'(]

I believe AgentS did a beach mod in ToF. You may want to inquire from him.

The situation for ToF is different : Beaches are always in the vanilla game, I think Agent S has just modified the look of tiles. Perhaps I am wrong trying to search beachs in Storm over Pacific : perhaps, they are not implemented in the game, Sop is older than ToF [8|] Doom, any precision about, please ? [8|] [&o]
