The json looks fairly simple. Use ship as type and provide at least 4 frames. For the yacht it may looks like
Code: Select all
[
{
"id":"$shipyacht00",
"type":"ship",
"frames":[
{"bmp":"yacht_green.png","w":17,"h":15,"count":4,"handle x":8,"handle y":12},
{"bmp":"yacht_blue.png","w":17,"h":15,"count":4,"handle x":8,"handle y":12}
]
}
]
Here we provide 8 frames, 4 for each variant of the yacht. The game will pick a variant randomly when spawning a ship. Move frames using handle x and handle y until it looks good. Setting them correctly is difficult, so do it by trial and error.
If your ship is longer than one tile use
to indicate this. However, the longer the ship the more likely are graphic issues. That's why we never added the long container ships.
Spawning ships from a building is fairly simple. It looks similar to car spawning before car spawners were added:
Code: Select all
"ships":["$shipyacht00"],
"ship count":4,
"ship radius":16,
"ship radius" is currently ignored. Use it for the future.
