Hi,

Frosch said on Fri, 16 Nov 2007 on the patch maillist for my 'completely shore' patch:

Normally an Action5 adds only new graphics to the game. ActionA is meant for replacing the old graphics.
Unfortunatelly this does not hold for the Action5 Coast Tile Graphics (they are the only exception) :(
Both OTTD and TTDP load the new shore graphics in a new location, but leave the old shore graphics in it's place.

Since I don't get any feedback for my 'completely shore' patch I thought: "What can I make better" and this is it:
I made a patch with "only" fix Frosch's suggestion and with an include of 10 new 'missing shore'-sprites (for each climates == 40). This are the 8 corner shores and the two canyon shores (this two are not in action 05-0D, but it will be possible now to include this with an newGRF and for compatibility: use of 07-9D and 07-A1 [but the old one will supported, too]).

This patch is only the first step with an include of these sprites and a fix of the use of this action.
The other steps (and own patches) are:
2: make OTTD possible to flood corner shores
3: make OTTD possible to flood the two canyon shore sprites and so include a canyou flooding (activated by a patch option)

missing_shores_v0.2_r11651.patch and openttd(w/d).grf are for the trunk,
/missing_shores_grf_v1_r11624.patch and shore.pcx are for svn/extra/ottd_grf

I've only drawn the temperate sprites in shore.pcx, the other 30th are a simple copy of the grass one (I'm sadly no artist). If you give me or better my patch an okay I search an artist for that.

Vantages are e.g.:
- the 32bpp crew can easy replace theese sprites
- the people who preferred the original graphics have now a complete shore view (if you have a look on the current one, you see there are miss something (you don't need a newGRF to see that))
- it fix one (ore more?) 'draw'-problems: the shore ground on docks (without a necessary of complicate code like the one in the 'completely shore'-patch)...

Regards,
BigBB
