[Feature] Shingle Enhancement
OCDCleric opened this issue ยท 9 comments
I'm troubled... I need more shingles and varriations. To be exact I need two new things for new shingles. One easy! The other not so much...
-
Shingle Colours: To be exact I would like to request colored shingles or a system to dye the shingles colours. Would be nice having blue, yellow, and green shingles right?
-
Shingle slabs? This one is a bit tough to explain so I'll put a picture here.
So on the left is the roof style i'm using for a schematic set i'm making. On the right is the result of using shingles. What i'm hoping for is a new shingle type that could smooth this out somehow or for the two shingle types to interact?

Well its hard to explain... But i did have an idea. One would be a slab and the other a block and the two would form a set. The slab would be the same as the roof shingle block/stair except the height and angle would be half. From that. The block would litterally be the the new slab shingle on top of a regular slab but as an actual block... I'll try making a picture of it tomorrow.
Placement might be difficult, but i think you can reference Immersive Engineering's conveyor placement for help.
for the second thing, you'd probably have to be more specific in how you'd want it to look.
What might be easier to request would be a set of shingles that have a different amount of slant to them so that instead of being a 45 degree angle they slope more along a 30 degree angle (from looking at the picture). That would give you the 2 horizontal 1 vertical slope that I think you are aiming for.
The problem is orientation and height though. Since slabs don't act like stairs... Though i suppose you could use stairs for them even if the look slab sized...
These could be added through the use of vertical slabs. You could have two variations of the shingle slabs, a horizontal and a vertical version.
Actually i hust got some graph paper so i can draw up a rough idea of how it would work but i just stupidly realized you could do this by making both as a set of stairs. Gonna start drawing now.
Ok so heres the really rough idea of it. Two different shingles both using the stair block as a base. The slopes connect to each other. Since both use the stairs as a base orientation is no problem.
