To create proper walls, fences, and liquids, you must supply files that end in the expected suffixes that will be constructed by the game code when it paints them. | To create proper walls, fences, and liquids, you must supply files that end in the expected suffixes that will be constructed by the game code when it paints them. | ||
* Walls and liquids use the filename suffix format <code>-00000000</code>, where each digit may be a zero or a one. The digits indicate whether there is a connecting wall in each of the 8 adjacent cells, starting from the Northern cell and working clockwise. For example, a wall tile within a horizontal segment that has a wall both to the west and the east would use the filename suffix <code>-00100010</code>. To properly create a complete wall or liquid that can be rendered in all possible configurations, you must have 256 individual wall sprites using all combinations of 0 and 1 in the filename suffix. | * Walls and liquids use the filename suffix format <code>-00000000</code>, where each digit may be a zero or a one.

They use the filename suffix format <code>_nsew</code>, with the cardinal direction letters always appearing in that order. For example, a fence in a horizontal fence segment with a fence to its west and to its east uses the suffix <code>_ew</code>. A single fence tile with no connections uses the <code>_</code> suffix. To properly create a complete fence that can be rendered in all possible configurations, you must have 16 individual fence sprites using all possible combinations of 0-4 cardinal directions. | ||
To make it a bit easier to create the full set of required wall or fence tiles, you can use [https://bitbucket.org/bbucklew/imageslicer the ImageSlicer utility] created by one of the {{gamename}} developers. | To make it a bit easier to create the full set of required wall or fence tiles, you can use [https://bitbucket.org/bbucklew/imageslicer the ImageSlicer utility] created by one of the {{gamename}} developers. | ||
