Do you have texture edit?

If not it's available online? (assume you have a PC - not sure about Mac capabilities etc.)

If so you can get the Angkor texture file online and copy the required tiles across into the catacomb texture file.

I'll do it and send to you if you like, but it really is easy - and worth learning - I got it right first time.

Just open the source texture file in the left window and the target in the right.

Make sure you copy all the textures in an animated sequence and keep them in the same order and it should be OK.

I've done this for lava and ordinary water tiles.

I have a custom texture file with the one's I experimenting with - saves keep loading other textures and trying again.

OK?

If you check the original Angtext.TGA, you will find that there are only 2 cascade tiles in the set (one transparent, the other against stone), so you wont be able to achieve the effect you need.

Attn Inchdix:

Does this mean more texturs are required for the animation, like with water / lava or will it just not work full-stop?

Not being arguementative - need to know for own uses

Yes.... more textures are required.... most of the sets have a series of 8 slightly different textures for animations, such as water, lava, etc.

So if someone (like me - time permitting) produced some more textures it would work - whereas at the moment there just aren't enough to make the illusion of water movement realistic?

Hmmmm.... where'd I put that paint proggy???

I'm definitely having an off day.

The waterfall textures would suit my needs fine.

OK I need the South Pacific texture map - but I can't find it.

Can anyone help???

Thanks
