Walnut, hazelnut, chestnut, cottonseed oils should works just fine for wurm, heck even olive and fennelseed oil should be used not sure if we have any else in game. So far i think best solution is to have neutral light texture upon creating and using oil to reveal wood texture. Using new item sharkskin to sand it back to neutral should be interesting(more reasons to hunt sharks) or just metal brush if devs are so lazy Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted February 12, 2018 I love that anyone took the time to try to give us back wood textures. I know it had to have been alot of work. I LOVED my applewood boats. most of them were finished in that because it was my favorite as well as many others. What we have now is nowhere near that. Sorry but can we get the old applewood back? 3 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted February 12, 2018 oak was supposed to be a very very light colored wood like willow, not a dark wood like cedar...? wtf happened Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Posted February 14, 2018 Sadly, I do not have a better "before" screenshot, but both carts are cedar; the one to the left is a good ql blue, the one to the right a good ql purple. Blue one: Wood colors: r=31, g=31, b=215. Purple one: Wood colors: r=150, g=19, b=218. Both are looking like made out of plastic and nowhere like the colours shown using a RGB calculator. Oak and willow and lemonwood and applewood, all look odd; all black painted items are more brownish than black. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

My black cart turned brownish because it was cedarwood so I made a oleanderwood cart and dyed it black now it's really black again. It sucks but it is what it is. If they do change it, allow people to select what wood they want or allow them to change it, I suggested how I'd fix this issue a few posts up.

No. Just adapt like I have. Maybe if we're lucky they'll do the blessed plank suggestion or somthing similar, that would fix everything tbh. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Posted February 15, 2018 I'm against Cedar becoming any darker/redder/orange. Cedar comes in a white and a red cedar. Lets lighten cedar back up, so it doesn't muddy out all the dye that is already on it. Since textures are not really textures but shaders. Lets add a Red Cedar or "Redwood". Have that one be a red/darer color and have the same properties as Cedar in game. Save Cedar! 4 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Only join my voice in right now. Bit more thought: As a developer I do see some issues with making this happen in a sensible way, though there's also probably a dozen similar techniques that we've seen used elsewhere. I'm sure some will point out that Wurm is about making choices and having those choices count. We have been making those choices easier to change though in the name of quality of life though. For example, you can remove the wood trim on a stone wall and re-apply it easily enough. For wood types, trying to think of a mechanic that would "make sense" even with a bit of "wogic" is still hard. Do we have a system where you just beat the item with the type you want and say it rubbed off on it? Do we go with a "wood stain" sort of technique, which would open up a likely can of wurms if we were to ever want to provide this as a proper feature in the future (plus that's not how it really works at all!). I didn't read the idea, but it sounds like someone brought up priests? That might be feasible, but I'm sure we'll have some folks who would take issue with making the priest a requirement. Of course there's always alchemy, which could be sold and create a market... Retro isn't going to be happy with me brainstorming like this, but I rarely share my brainstorming. (And I hate my wood types!) 3 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Posted February 15, 2018 How about making the dye act more like paint. Making it opaque so the dye/paint colour dominates rather than interacting with the underlying wood colour. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted February 15, 2018 (edited) Yes I think we've never been sure whether dye is a stain, or a paint - I think we need to differentiate between the two effects and either decide, or have two products Just an idea.

Well considering.. we smash a log on a chair and claim it improved it we smash things like woad and copper into liquid dye to change the rgb etc... just like log+lye or something makes a woodchangerthing that we smash onto our carts, fits wurm perfectly 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted February 16, 2018 (edited) since currently the problem with the dye is that the wood items have a layer over them (wood type) that works same as dye and so when the dye layer gets thrown on top of that it you see the 2 colors blended together... simple fix: applying dye removes the wood-type layer and then only leaves the dye layer? removing the dye would just do the same thing in reverse, remove the dye layer and put the wood-type layer back on? this would solve 100% of the problems and would make dye more reliable for any wood-type as the color would always work the same way reguardless of wood-type so a 5/5/5 black dye on cedar cart would look exactly the same as any other cart with 5/5/5 dye Edited February 16, 2018 by Evilreaper 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted February 16, 2018 (edited) Birch is supposed to be a really blond wood type. Edited February 16, 2018 by Cecci Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted February 16, 2018 so is oak but you see how they effed that up haha Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted February 16, 2018 (edited) Yeah, I have oak furniture that is both new and old and the old stuff is pretty dark while my oak Billy Shelves are still fairly blond. I also have a semi old kitchen sofa in birch that has become more yellow over the years, compared to my Billy shelves in birch. Compared to for example pine birch darkens less with time. ie Birch will always remain more blonde than pine or any other of our wood types, except for linden maybe.

Posted February 16, 2018 This is an interesting thread as it it trying to solve several problems simultaneously: Wood composition: The base grain of the wood The base colour of the wood (i.e silver/grey or other neutral tone) The wood colour layer, which is dependent on wood-type And the effect of dye on wood - is it: A stain that blends with the woodtype colour layer OR A paint that overlays the woodtype colour OR A paint that overlays the woodtype colour and base colour layers OR A paint that overlays the wood completely including grain texture? Could the QL of the dye affect the opacity? e.g. A sliding scale between low QL dye (stain) and high QL dye (opaque) The absorbency of the material: Does this same dye have a similar effect on other materials such as cloth sails or metal for example, or does it behave this way only to wood items e.g Does it behave like a stain on absorbent materials like wood and cloth, but a paint on metal? What do we need to achieve? Bright colours (paint) OR Subtle effect (stain) OR Both 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted February 16, 2018 I personally don't see the issue or fuss with changing out wood types, either by alchemy or priests, or both - whatever just give us the option. QoL isn't a bad thing if you make it benefit something else. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted February 16, 2018 (edited) Please don't let us simply change the wood types of objects with some gimicky object. If someone wants something made of a specific wood, they should have to make it as such from the get go. Edited February 16, 2018 by Budzilla 3 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
