What kind of lichen? What is it supposed to look like?
Just looked for some pictures more like this or that?

It currently looks like this:


It's supposed to be some sort of lichen that grows underground on the background wall. I think you can chop down and eat it. The chopped-lichen object already has a cool graphics imo

If it does, it's not supposed to! But yes @near water

I will fix that, because it seems like a nice to have feature underground growing near water.

@graphics: I think it should be bright green, and have a shape which is not too big and attached to tunnel nicely.

I just looked at the script it and it's fuel, as I understand it.

Ah, yes. That actually DOES make sense :)

Moist: Edible.
Dry: Fuel!

Don't know if it's been changed, but last time I played, lichen as a fuel was pretty over-powered. One piece could be planted, and you'd eventually have enough of it to power your base just about forever.

Don't think it has been thoroughly tested, yet.

Hm, but it would be nice to use in scenarios. I'm often annoyed by having to put so much coal into scenarios, especially underground when you cannot substitute wood for fuel. Now I could use Lichen instead.

It does reproduce, right?

Yeah, it should (untested, I guess). You need a cave + water.

Huh. Never realised it was supposed to be growing on the background before. I thought it was some kind of bush-thing. (The plant, not the American. Can we George Bush to the game, and players can chop him down for fuel or food.)

Probably not like the first one. Whatever you think might grow on the wall of a cave. Like this: http://www.fotos.sc/img2/u/colibra/h/Friedhof_Mainz_Efeu_Moos_Grabstein__Herbst_.jpg

I've created one, which is meant to look like this kind of lichen. If you like it, I can create a series of graphics of it.
But I think it ended up kind of weird.

I created it in that orange-yellow color, but I also attached a file with a more greenish color (because the current one is green).

oi, cool :o

Out of curiosity, how did you make that graphics? Did you create a 3D model (including all those little mushroom-body like things) or did you draw it?
Reply
Parent - By Foaly [de] Date 2015-04-06 20:54
Made with blender.
3 hair-particle systems on a invisible displaced ground plane.
Rendered with cycles.

Looks very nice, is there a way we can grow it somehow? Maybe dividing the current images in a small core part and arms that grow (instantly). Also it would be nice to have an object you get when you harvest them, maybe this stuff curled up into a ball.

We already have graphics for that which look good imo :)

True I will have a closer look to the Lichen mechanics soon, to see what is exactly needed.

They really look nice!

Maybe you can apply the texture of your pictures to them somehow? Is there a model available for these Zapper?
Reply
Parent - By Zapper [de] Date 2015-04-06 21:30
I checked the resource repository and it doesn't look like it. I think Mimmo made them back then and he isn't really active anymore.
Also I think that they look fitting as they are. I doubt anyone actually notices a small texture discrepancy ingame :)

Actually this is a kind of lichen which just grows on rock, so it would not grow branches. But of course I can provide the graphics if you want that.

If you want to take this, then I can create the final graphics with different states of growth.

Parent - By Maikel Date 2015-04-06 21:09
I would take it, different stages of growth would be perfect.

I created 4 different growth animations.
If you want it in different colors or if you need more frames please ask.

I don't like the first one but 2-4 are fine with me. I wouldn't mind a little variation, i.e. have all three.
Frame count is okay as it correlates with how many pieces you can gather.

If it's easyenough  for you to make these with the other 2 colour variations, we'd really have a versatile and decorative plant!

If the last two stages look too similar, the player (especially new players) will not be able to tell if it's already harvestable or not. In Minecraft this problem is countered with a noticable color change in the last stage of wheat growth from green to yellow. Maybe we shpuld do that too here?

Parent - - By Sven2 Date 2015-04-07 15:53
Maybe just always allow full harvesting?
Reply
Parent - By Maikel Date 2015-04-07 16:05
Harvesting works in stages currently (gives you back 1-4 balls of moss), I think we can keep that approach.
Reply
Parent - By Clonkonaut Date 2015-04-07 16:52
This plant you can always harvest. It just gets smaller (and regrows).

Parent - - By Foaly [de] Date 2015-04-07 17:06
Type 2 and type 4 in 3 color schemes each.
512² resolution, 4 frames

The .zip contains the anigrabbed sprites + the single frames.
If the resolution is to high, just scale it down, if you need it higher please ask.
