Hi all,
I have been tinkering with graphics in Pak128 for a couple of weeks now and I have decided to tackle some trees. I notice that most trees do not have a snow option available, though I see some old discussions about it dating back to 2006 in the old forum archives.
Question 1: There were some snow tree submissions at the time yet I do not see those as part of Pak128 as it exists now. I'm curious to know why!
Question 2: I developed a douglas fir tree concept and I ran in to a curious problem. The tree is about the same size as the mountain spruce that is in the game, done by Shunter, and I see that its placement is considerably higher than that which I can achieve. To demonstrate:

The douglas fir is the design that I drew, located at the bottom of the 128x128 grid. When placed in-game, I find that it will sometimes land on top of roads and such because it is placed too low in the 128x128 box.
When I look at the mountain spruce drawn by Shunter, I see that it is located considerably higher than what I am able to achieve with a 128x128 box. How did the tree get moved up so far in the image so as to appear to be larger than 128x128?
I'm sure there is an easy explanation for this, but once I can figure this out then my tree will work as designed without it falling on to roads and other objects.
Here's my douglas fir as I currently have it designed so far, input/comments/critiques welcome!
