O yea. just in case.
A image from some post I did on ground type boundary lines.

(If image edit/processing speed is important. Maybe github: libvips might be of some interest.)

Thanks for the map finally!

I suppose it takes some time before grids are pushed to live?

I've uploaded quite a few this morning.

Yea, there will be a delay for a little while. I'm still very much working on the tile rendering system, and I'd rather not push my poor server to the limits.
Just have to be patient.

Tell me please, how do you solve the problem of mixing tiles? Like caves on the surface.

That has been an issue for years. The clients never seem to perfectly keep track of sessions like that. Always constantly ended up with spawn room or mine tiles appearing on the map.
In the past, I tried picking colors specific to those tiles only and looking for them.

With the way things are now, since I have the rare tile data, I can just reject anything that has a mine-like tile, or nil tile type. These two should never occur in the overworld.

I went ahead and made a version of the map with simplified tiles. Let me know what you guys think.
It's already been suggested that I consider making it the default, though I'm not sure.

Take a look

I think simple mode is too simple.

At the end of the day, it is mostly an aesthetics choice. I did originally have no lines in my initial rendering of the simplified map.



It just seemed like more people were interesting in having lines.

Yea, having no lines at all feels a bit off. (and also gives visual separation issues for very similar ground-type colours (without texuring))

Winter tiles will appear on the map for a bit.

I want to do a proper solution to them instead of something hacky.

Considering about making the entire map winter manually, or just ignoring winter tile types all together.
Either way, it'll take some thought, and I'm going to hold off on implementing it just yet.

Looks like my map does in winter! Working as intended.
