Undersea Tileset
« on: June 04, 2013, 12:14:44 am »


               Can anyone recommend a good undersea tileset?

I'm working on the "v4" update to Sanctum 2, and have decided that I'll need an underwater tileset for one of the additions that I want to make. I know that Lord of Worms had done a good one years ago that I'd looked into, and I've seen scattered references to various updates to it over the last several years. I'm trying to get a handle on which one is the "latest and greatest," as well as whether there may be other candidates out there to consider that I'm not aware of.  As always, any feedback is greatly appreciated.

With regard to the LOW Undersea tileset, I found two entries on the standard "WoRms (9) New Tilesets" page:
  • wrm_undersea.rar - Dated 5/28/2007 (I think this is the old one that I'd looked at previously)
  • wrm_underseaPold.zip - Dated 6/17/2012 ("NOTE: This is ONLY for the OLD version of Undersea.") Is wrm_undersea.rar the "old" version," and if so, is the "new" one somewhere else?
In trying to answer that last question, I also found a page titled "Worms Archived Tilesets and Other Things," which has a note that "The Updated Finalized versions of these tilesets and more can now be found at," followed by a link to the "Worms (9) New Tlesets" page. I found that confusing, because it also has the following two additional undersea tilesets:
  • wrm_underseabeta8.7z - Dated 12/01/2010 ("Undersea version 8. pre-release almost complete. edge tiles still missing in areas and I want to add more features so up for ideas. looking for bugtesters. backwards

    compatible with previous version of undersea.")
  • UnderseaBigv11.7z - Dated 12/12/2011 ("Undersea version 10 complete. Submitted for the CC groups november

    submission. but too big to send via email. This is completely backwards compatible with any of the older versions of Undersea..just now has loads of new features. [FIXED: ceiling water tiles fixed.updates]")
Finally, there's the Custom Content Challenge November 2011 - Underwater Stuff v1 page, which includes "LordOfWorms – Undersea version 10 tileset (custom tileset)."

If I'm reading this correctly, I think it means that the "latest and greatest" version should be "UnderseaBig11.7z" from the "Worms Archived Tilesets and other things" page (which is really version 11, not version 10), and "wrm_underseaPold.zip" is an incompatible update to the older (2007) version of the tileset. Is that right?

               I believe the one on Archived, and the CC one, are the same

               it seems to me that the best way to make use of the underwater hak is to distribute it yourself.

Hey Worms, I love your work, but it would be easier for us folks if it was clear where to get the latest working copies of your work.

But I feel bad that I even said that. I just wish worms was with us showing off screenshots of his latest.
