2. now simply duplicate and translate the snow-dirtroad ID-s

- i simply copied the original that was in ID range of 7100-7199
- and updated all values 71 values to 72 - so i got tiles in 7200-7199 range

Code: Select all

            {
	       "id":7100,
	       "imgName":"terrain_road_dirt.png",
  	       "imgTilesetColumnCount":8,
	       "imgTilesetPosition":0,
	       "imgTilesetPositionRange":"+6",
	       "imgTilesetTileSize":32,
	       "imgColumns":1,         
	       "layer":"TERRAIN",
	       "terrainClassName":"road"
            },
 	    {
               "id":7108,
               "imgTilesetPosition":8,
               "imgTilesetPositionRange":"+3",
               "terrainClassName":"road"
            },  
 	    {
               "id":7116,
               "imgTilesetPosition":16,
               "imgTilesetPositionRange":"+3",
               "terrainClassName":"road"
            },
            {
	       "id":7200,
	       "imgName":"terrain_road_snowdirt.png",
  	       "imgTilesetColumnCount":8,
	       "imgTilesetPosition":0,
	       "imgTilesetPositionRange":"+6",
	       "imgTilesetTileSize":32,
	       "imgColumns":1,         
	       "layer":"TERRAIN",
	       "terrainClassName":"road"
            },
 	    {
               "id":7208,
               "imgTilesetPosition":8,
               "imgTilesetPositionRange":"+3",
               "terrainClassName":"road"
            },  
 	    {
               "id":7216,
               "imgTilesetPosition":16,
               "imgTilesetPositionRange":"+3",
               "terrainClassName":"road"
            }

3. now simply duplicate and translate the snow-dirtroad autotile definitions

- i simply copied all things refenrencing the dirt
- and updated all values 71 values to 72

Code: Select all

    "nicedirtroad-7100,7101,7102,7103,7104,7105,7106,7108,7109,7110,7111,7116,7117,7118,7119",
    "nicesnowdirtroad-7200,7201,7202,7203,7204,7205,7206,7208,7209,7210,7211,7216,7217,7218,7219",
