Community Extended LOFTEMPS

[Solarius Scorch]

I'm thinkin if someone makes a Content-object... and say it looks like a fence on the east or south side
maybe the adjacent N or W wallslot is used for something else or is on the edge of a Map but you/me/etc wants a fence there just for aesthetic/pseudo-realism

Yeah, it's totally possible. It's just something a modder decides whether they need it or not. I can't really see much interest TBH.

my opinion? I've always felt that the LoFts were a bit limiting... but im not a great mapmaker or anything like that. However, before any mission I go over the terrainset and do tweaks and fixes as i see fit.

I'm surprised at how 'comfortable' Finnik's additions are at present. And since the LoFTset can have up to 256 entries, and with the extended LoFTs its only at ~140/150, then as long as the stock lofts stay the same (backward compatible) i don't see why not ...

(but leave the last 50..100 entries blank to allow for any serious customization by individuals, i spose)


... Here's something I'd like to see though: before adding the extended LoFTs, add the two extra lofts from TFTD. Then add the extensions. This way the templates for UFO and TFTD are bongo.

Oh, i did it, and they use the same numbers as TFTD. So you can say we are extending TFTD LOFT file here =)

I'd like to request extra loftemps icons for 122 and 123, I know it's not visible during the game, but I'd still like to have the shapes. If you already have your own shape for everything this one why should it be a cuckoo egg? I understand that not everyone needs this, but I would still like someone to make such an extension for me. Each width should be 3 pixels. I will show you the shapes in the attached picture. In principle, block 6 would also be good, but the problem is that the shape is lost. Not important for many people, but important for me Thank you.

PckView, in the next version of MapView2, should be able to edit and add LoFTs easy as pie.

if you're in a rush let me know but no guarantees on a release date.

I have version 3.8.2 of mapview2. Is this version still unsuitable?

Such shape cant affect LoF, it would act exactly as simple rectangle.
