any easy way to get surf? - fabianfred - 17.04.2008

well, I finally got my sea navigable by ships...but anyone know an easy way to get the surf up?

I know the sea is 28.....and the surf is 31....but is there a way i can select the sea area (or land) and just change the value of the single or double row of pixels bordering it?


and what effect do the values in load.ini have? they mention surf live action or something similar..

Hiya Fred,

Using the various selection modifiers in photoshop, you'll be able to get the band of surf you require. ie: select--->contract/expand----->border.

thanks....I was just experimenting...painting the pixels by hand.....does it only need to be a single row of pixels at value 31...or can it be two or three and still work OK?

mine seems to be a bit hit and miss

Yeah, hit and miss with 1 row seems to be the norm. Better with 2 or 3 rows Smile I've found.

after selecting the sea area with 0 tolerance......I went to Select/Modify/Border and selected 1 pixel Big Grin
