I bet it is. Wanted to say more but, better to shut up in my case.

I just posted how I see this. I don't know jorbies code, so I can't tell a shit about this. Just trying to put some logic behind words?synaris wrote:*facepalm* its like saying that i want to fill a glass half full then im asking for smaller glasses.
how can you not understand a new image that is half of one texture and half of another?
is that really not possible?

Re: half pavings
I think it has to do with the terrain underneath the paving.
According to your suggestion, even if he created all those custom tile options and mixed and matched them with EVERY terrain and pavement option, which in and of itself would be an assload of tedious work, There is no way for the system to actually check what terrain is underneath the tile and to pull up the appropriate custom tile for it. It would probably involve coding an entirely new system just for that, and probably going back and re-coding lots of things to accommodate that new system. And even IF you did all that, there's the matter of terrain being inherently messy, static custom tiles in a lot of cases just wouldn't line up cleanly with it.
Also, as it stands, pavement deletes the terrain tile under it anyways, so any other solution would need to rework that system as well, or place pavement tiles on another tile layer right above the terrain layer, if that's even possible, and he'd have to make transparent sections of each and every one of those tile options where the terrain shows underneath it.
LOTS of work for little payout, any way you look at it.

Newbie and noob do not mean the same thing.
Neither do figuratively and literally.
