Title: Post Your Stonesense Screenshots
Post by: jonask84 on January 19, 2010, 03:42:37 am
Hey guys

It seems we need some cool promotional Stoensense screenshots,
so I thought it might be a good idea to set up this thread so people
can swap and show off their awesome forts!

We were so incredibly fortunate the other week to be featured in PC Gamer UK (http://imgur.com/eEuqM.jpg),
but the article made it shamefully clear that we need awesome images in our Media section.

Of course anything and everything is welcome, so post your fort now ;D

Any plans to implement a zoom-out feature of some sort?
Title: Re: Post Your Stonesense Screenshots
Post by: Retro on January 19, 2010, 07:20:24 pm
Hey QuantumToast, if you grab the latest version it's got some basic ramps for stone/wood (not sure about glass). Just a heads-up. Also, obligatory 'gad-damn, Flarechannel is gorgeous.'

Jonask, if you want to PM Martin, I grabbed a whole bunch of screenies for him for Lashedwines (Morul's fort). I can repost with his permission.

I should go see if I've got anything else to contribute myself. Got to be some more good screenies coming out of Undergrotto from one angle or another.

I agree, we need a zoom feature for this. It's pretty hard to make this work right with such a large scale.

Even trying to resize the window to get the most out of it is a pain.

Anyway, here are some SS shots of my megaproject still WIP.

I took screenies of my most recent fort (Towersummit) but that wasn't enough. So I dug up two other old savegame folders and screenied those too. All images are PNG. Cheers.

Towersummit: Shot 1 shows the green glass tower that houses nobles and (eventually) legendary dwarves, and shows a few of the slummy wooden shanties below. Shot 2 shows my aquifer-fishing operation and two grain silos.

Savagehelm: The road that runs by the unfinished castle (1,) the Dungeon Master's tower and the smelting guild building, both over an artificial pool of magma (2,) and the fractal-inspired bedroom layout (3.)

Giftedlabored: The bridge that leads directly into the side of the mountain, shown next to the abandoned husk of a once-grand sailing ship, now converted into a pub/motel (1.) Also shown, my impressive, 13 Z-level living complex, the top of which houses the trade depot (2.) Then, the bottom of said expansive room (3.)

Quick questions that could go in the stonesense thread but I will bump this one:

Do you play through stone sense?  Or do you just upload your fort there to see how it looks?

And would mods (like Dig Deeper) work with it?

There's no interface to control the game through Stonesense, it's just a viewer.  It does however directly read Dwarf Fortress's memory space and updates the view fairly frequently, so you have a live view of what's going on.

Yes, but all the new creatures show up as question marks.

Just to elaborate, it is exceptionally easy to add new graphics to Stonesense. If somebody created some graphics for the new creatures they could be added without much difficulty. The main Stonesense thread should have directions to add new stuff, over in the DF Modding subforum.

We need screenshots with more crowded, varied, and natural looking arrangements. The ones posted so far often look very industrial-scaled (dozens of identical bedrooms, massive unnatural castles, etc) instead of like a small, crowded dwarven settlement might look. I think the workshops look great and it'd be fun to see lots of them close together in a varied environment.

Also, that statue formation is from the Rivercross (http://mkv25.net/dfma/map-6384-dfmasters-rivercross) game a long time back.  It should be in  3 different colors, but whatever, it still looks pretty cool.

Photobucket never does this to my pngs.

The ones I posted earlier were blurry, but that was because I resized them. This one was cropped instead.

Two quick shots from a pretty simple community fort. The first shows a magma cistern filling, and the magmafall looked badass so I figured it'd be good for promotional purposes. The second is pretty plain, just a hut, a few scattered workshops, some farms plus other stuff so it shows off the program pretty well. And I tried out that F2 trick as well, so hidden interface, woo.

I give you, the kitchen/still/mason area - he built the mason workshop himself to keep from going insane. He was working on a throne when they found him.

Well, I tried to take more screenies of Undergrotto's spiffy new carved-out-stalactite ceiling, but it's really difficult. The best I could get was part of the winding path upwards and the bottom of a few of the bigger stalacs. And a liiittle bit of the grotto floor. Either the mountain face or the stalactites aaaalways got in the way of the better shots. I might have to fiddle with the settings a bit to get better stuff.

I hate to tell everyone this, but that actually doesn't work. The content within a spoiler loads just like anything on a page does. All spoilering does is hide it and make the post smaller.

That doesn't render it useless for posting images inside, as it still keeps a thread a reasonable length, organization wise, but it does mean that if you're trying to save people bandwidth...you're unfortunately failing.

That's supposed to be smoothed/polished obsidian, which either has a blue or red reflective tone. This is actually the base texture, which would be color-swapped for all glossy, polished, reflective stone (like Marble, etc.).

After rigorous efforts of trying to find a nice site I eventually stumbled over this gem. I was trying to find a steep mountainous area with magma, sand, river, flux and other stuff. This has all of them including large plains filled with tons of wood and some savage wilds animals and nice temperate weather.

Well in addition to what I wanted I also got these:

Amazingly beautiful round magma pipe caldera over which you could build a whole fort.

And as an added bonus there is this MASSIVE spike of a mountain into which I'm currently planning on building my whole fortress with hanging terraces and other stuff.

Going to post more screens when I have my fortress up and running. Also first post ever on these forums, so hi!

I can't get over how some of these mega constructions look.

I constantly try them myself, but for some reason they always end up as horrible non-euclidean forms that squat upon the scorched hills and mountains while all about them burning dwarves combat each other. If you listen carefully you can hear a chorus screaming, "Urist cancels Hunt small creature, tantruming".

Sort-of no cheats. I used a handful, but only for superficial purposes (ie. I accidentally destroyed some natural ramps and turned the newly built ones into natural ones for the benefit of visualizers). The sandy beach was a stretch, but I was a real-time month in by the time I realized I'd forgot to check for sand on embark (original plan was to collapse a surface sand layer down). I also use [SPEED:0], but only because the framerate's so appalling low that without it it's hard to tell if dwarves are moving or not - even with it, they still don't seem to move very fast.

EDIT:
I hope nobody minds if I mod the mechanics files to make it look right. Okay?

If nobody minds, I'll see if I can upload them as well. Of course, they'll be wooden props (aiming for either a 3-point or 5-point prop) and an assortment of options.

Examples:
1) Both waterwheels and windmills are converted into propellers. (What I'll be using)
2) Only windmills will be converted into propellers.
3) Only waterwheels will be converted into propellers.

I do! I originally thought the dome would be transparent, so i would love if it was possible!

Quote from: Micro102 on March 05, 2010, 12:12:32 pm

Yeah! That was the original plan, Magma flowing from the top downwards, then at the bottom there would be floor grates to catch the magma. I also wanted water to flow from the back(right) kind of to the front(left), caught by grates, and starting at the back again. But water flows away form the edges, so that wouldn't work. I'm now considering to either turn it around, aka water flowing from the top, and magmawaves of doom, but it just doesn't seem the same.

So I'm thinking of just doing all magma, although the thought came into my mind to make a second smaller dome inside the dome, and to fill the between space with water. But then you cant enjoy the magma flowing from the outside. so I would have to make a third dome so you can walk in the middle, on the left being green glass walls of magma, and on the right being green glass walls of water. Oh god, I was hoping that if I went on a 1x1 map i wouldn't have much room for craziness. I must do this!

I've found that, after converting my depot room into a drowning chamber, the area of the drowning chamber is greater than that of the fountain below that the water is retrieved from. Therefore, if the fountain is not at full capacity, there may not be enough water to drown the elves in.

For those doing the math, that means yes, the maximum possible horizontal area you can select when embarking.

Main gate: silver gatehouse, golden towers on either side.  Courtyard, marble barracks to the left.

Here is also a whole map screenshot of it. Made it a bit smaller though so not in full quality :) I wonder if there is a way to fix the green & other glass ramps/walls/floors to look properly and not just white.

Great! Will the new release be out soonish? Hmm... what to wish for next... Has it been considered/is it even possible to make glass walls/floors etc. at least somewhat transparent, like the water is? This probably isn't best topic to ask these since there is the official topic also... I'll promise some more pictures soon as compensation!

Aha! Well, Stonesense runs about as slow as is fathomable in Software mode but actually renders the full images within two minutes, so I have all four views of Frozenhalls, Iceberg Empire here. Shame you can't see the wicked interiors with the exteriors at once, but hey.

In the middle is my 100 level tower project. Dragon is part of my king's palace project. On the right are my cathedral project and island sanctuary. Also my outer wall still needs a lot of work as only very small part at the gate is finished. Same thing with the tower wall. Still missing also many planned buildings.

As you can see I got "few" things to be done at the same time so expect them all to be finished around 2020 at this rate.

(http://wiki.western.edu/mcis/images/6/69/Finback.png)

FUN FACTS ABOUT THE MEGADORF™:

*The MEGADORF™ stands 72 zlevels tall
*The MEGADORF™ has the ability to drink and piss water or magma(but not both at once).
*The MEGADORF™ has room for over 300 dwarves if the rooms were constructed and could easily be self supported out of the farming area in the beard(if someone bothered to irrigate more of it).
*The MEGADORF™ has pump stacks reaching down to a cavern lake and the magma sea which require around 1.5k power which is supplied by ground level windfarm.
*The MEGADORF™ required over 45k blocks, 7k raw stone, and 5k metal bars to build.
*The MEGADORF™ was carved by someone with no artistic talent or experience in three dimensional modeling.
*The MEGADORF™ claimed 65 dwarf lives in its construction and in excess of 200 pet lives.

Imagine my surprise when I looked up my courtyard in Stonesense. I dinnae kno we hav em fancy blood stains ere.

(http://imgur.com/Kguog.png)

Rumors have it, there exists a small outpost, where terrible, Horrible things happen. So appaling, that no migrant dares even think about setting foot on that ground.  Goblin and elf expeditions to these parts have been disappearing lately. And only trader caravans, brave enough to venture into the unknown, tell tales of bloodshed, gore and unspeakable horror that happens when foolish creatures dare challenge the Dwarves. Dismembered bodies of prisoners that try to crawl out the front gate after thrown down the watchtower serve as a great reminder to anyone. As well as wonderful target practice for bloodthirsty marksdwarves that reside here.

That there - is a butchery... I was kinda hoping to use that contraption as a way of killing caged mokeys and foxes until I found out that a Dwarf would rather jump off himself or tear the poor thing apart with his bare hands. Sometimes, both. The little bloodstain on the top is all that's left of a rhesus macaque. Goblins and elves, however, are quite willing to be thrown down.

How was I supposed to know how to build stuff? It's my first try at an execution tower, so I built it using the wisdom and architectural knowledge of a drunken dwarf and his crew of part-time laborers.

Well... The result is kinda as you see it. A noodle-shaped monument of Armok himself. Feed your Blood God! Armok is hungryyyy!
I think I'm gonna post some more screenshots of my cozy little outpost a bit later.
Well, here it is. Not much to look at, and I'm not sure the Dwarves will survive another year with me being stupid enough to crank savagery and number of beasts up to high for my second fortress. But bloody mayhem is worth it, I guess.

I vote yes.

I was originaly planning on hollowing out mountains and such, but those don't look to impressive in stonesence. Plus your idea supports my general disorganisation when it comes to fort layout.

For some reason, Stonesense picked a variety of materials for the solid plate of the observation platform, but it is cast obsidian.

First of all:
Spoiler: Fog's working (click to show/hide)
And it looks even cooler now :)
Spoiler: Biome Differences (click to show/hide)
To the south there's a connifer forest biome and to the north a mountain biome.
You can see the new bamboo grass which is in a lot of forests now. Though I'm not too happy with the sprite yet.
Spoiler: And some stuff unrelated. (click to show/hide)
Showing off the stonesense grimdark tiles. You could already see the tiles on the other pictures, but here it's in the open.
I've got granite, mica, gold and galena running through my fort As well as phylitte, but that one doesn't have a unique sprite yet.

The above ground forifications, including a beastly wall, snatcher-trap hall (and a system to divert attackers to a longer trap hall, not pictured), a pasture, statue garden and two useless buildings.

Workshops and storage, or part of it. It looked a lot cleaner before I punctured the caverns and the spores got everywhere. I'm planning to pave it all in gold or something equally as dwarfy (not magma.)

The "other" level, with a dining hall, memorial hall (corpse dump), naked-goblin-fighting-arena, hospital and more storage.

And don't mock their names. I only name useful dwarves, and it's just their profession + orr (for a male) or err (for a female).

Eh, I can't seem to think so large... and so above-ground. All I have are simple large rectangular rooms, a single staircase down into the fort until a cavern, and the same staircase is also the spine of a single thin tower I will place barracks in. And then my marksdwarves will shoot at stuff outside, like goblins trying to traverse inside...

there's essentially two ways grass can be shown: as a ground tile, and as a grass object. if you have grass objects, it's probably a good idea to disable the ground tiles for grass.

My fort is running on its 3rd-ish or 4th-ish year or so and, unless I am very mistaken, it is the only Dwarven fort in my entire world (pocket size, very few civilizations). It lies on a small peninsula, on a small island, off the coast of a larger unpopulated island.

It houses:
Civillian dwarves and children (mostly builders): 63
Military Dwarves (mostly recruits and wrestlers): 55
Animals (mostly dogs): 175

Total Dwarves: 118
Total living things: 293

Top area is the Keep. Under the roof you'll find the Castellan's Quaters (manager/mayor/bookkeeper/trader/etc.), and beneath that the main barracks and armory hub. Underneath all that is the Catapult practice range. Leaving the Keep, to the right along the wall there's a Drillyard, and a Guardhouse. And beyond that, half of the Gatehouse. Bottom-right buildings are an unfinished warehouse, and the Inn. To the left of the inn, there's an unfinished housing project, which will eventually house all of the builders and food gatherers in the Fort. Up and to the left of that is the temporary workshop area.
Other things you can see: Graveyard, quarry, mine access (in the center of the fort) and fishery hut.

EDIT: If anyone is interested, upon closer inspection of the Legends, it seems that the Elven civilization has wiped out both the human and dwarven civilizations. The dwarves fell over 700 years ago, and my settlement is one of only 2 free Dwarven settlements, the other settled a year after mine, probably some sort of trading post from where the merchants come. The humans were conquered 300 years ago. When playing as an adventurer I can be only an elf, or a human outsider.

Working on a new fort since my other one ended up with the nemesis bug. Making backups this time...

Year 3 is nearing its end and I haven't gotten as much done outside as I would like because goblins and kobolds seem super active this time around.

Here's the entrance, there will eventually be towers where the fortifications are. A pretty large area is walled in but most of it isn't interesting so I just took a close picture of the entrance fortification. That depot will be moved eventually.

Title: Re: Post Your Stonesense Screenshots
Post by: Rose on May 15, 2012, 11:48:03 pm
The window itself is resizable with the mouse, but the area that's read from DF has to be changed in stonesense/init.txt

Keep in mind that the bigger it is, the more memory is used, and the more it will slow down DF.

I finally found what i needed, changing the init settings allow for a much better view than what was offered as default, i'll just post a few images to show the difference.
In the stonesense folder inside init.ini change [WIDTH:800] and [HEIGHT:600] to mat.ch what your monitor can display, also i think making [SEGMENTSIZE_XY:64] slightly larger you'll get more Stuff loaded.

This is from one model fort I use on the incredibly rare occasion I have any spare time. It's built for show primarily, though it does function pretty well overall. The idea is to have a cavernous dwarven city with several stone support pillars holding up the roof. Moreover, each super z level is 3 z levels high. The buildings are sort of free standing in a way and arranged into zones (parcels really).

(http://i169.photobucket.com/albums/u233/Truean1/GreaterDwarfHouse.jpg)

Here we have a greater dwarven house; future occupant: one mayor. Notice the "yard" area containing several stone pillars to hold up the ceiling 3 z levels up. There is also a z level of stone walls with two points of entrance/exit, which gives it a feel of having a walled in yard.  There's also a balcony on the third floor, which will later be a bedroom. Second floor is going to be a dining room, first floor will be an office/throne room/court. (Notice the 1st floor entryway). You may also see the ramps acting as a rampway between levels. Furniture hasn't really been placed yet, but I think it's a nice example. The exploded view below shows the individual floorplans for each level.

(http://i169.photobucket.com/albums/u233/Truean1/ExplodedGreaterDwarfHouse.jpg)

(http://i169.photobucket.com/albums/u233/Truean1/CommonDwarvenHouseExterior.jpg)

This is a more common Dwarven house and several dwarves may live here (there's certainly space for several bedrooms. A house dining room and I suppose "living room" like office are also possible. The central room and its ramps provide access and common areas to the three different levels. Without furniture, the space can be very flexible.

(http://i169.photobucket.com/albums/u233/Truean1/ExplodedviewDwarvencommonHouse.jpg)

Overall, I'm still designing a whole slew of dwarven houses across several levels currently. Looking for innovative and fun housing designs and arrangements. Will post full pics of a finished product at some point. Though admittedly, my life is sorta nuts at the moment.

Non standard Experimentation
(http://i169.photobucket.com/albums/u233/Truean1/Demo-1.png)

So as you can see, I've just taken the sprites and added them in with simple editing in ways the game currently doesn't allow easily. I've created a little fireplace, a sofa, a counter area with drawers, and drawers set into the walls. Moreover, I've also placed several cabinets in closer proximity than would otherwise be allowed and changed their facing.

Certain problems are presented with sprites showing multiple facings (notice how the cabinets face to the lower right or lower left depending upon what wall they are on). The cabinets in this shot are also not centered in the tile, but are right up against the wall.

Also the non standard sprites such as the sofa and fireplace are not easily represented, though I suppose they could be built as a custom building and perhaps have a sprite linked to that.

The other problem comes from the foreground walls, that is those walls on the bottom sides of a room. This is especially true when things like drawers built into walls are present, because even then, cutting down the walls or making them transparent/translucent wouldn't really do the trick. Though showing the room from at least two opposing angles would. (rotating camera angle 180 degrees and taking a separate shot). Also, the floor tiles right next to the foreground walls are blocked by the walls themselves, though again, that could be solved by cutting down walls or transparency.

Of course, all of this is purely ornamental, but then so is much of the game in many ways.

This is just an idle exercise right now. I could easily see a coffee table in front of that little sofa. Chairs as well, and other equivalents of a living room. Basically you could decorate the place and make each room something cool. Heavy cloth banners on the wall with the fort's insignia or crest, small shelves displaying little trophies, or outright cases for trophies, etc,etc,etc. Beer Kegs, mug storage. Display cases. :P

The yer 1080 in Silverywhite.  Took a reclaim and close to 28 years for my dwarves to get this far.  Still planning on quite a bit of stuff, but damn its hard to get anything done with invasions turned on, and migration switched off. 
Spoiler (click to show/hide)
The outer walls are constructed from native silver blocks, with marble blocks used elsewhere.  The fort was constructed on top of a small hill, with a 2-tile-wide trench dug around the perimiter.  This prevents invaders from hugging the walls and avoiding archery fire.  The trenches themselves are full of war dogs and connected to the surface through the courtyard.  That way any invaders are lured in through the front gates, where most of my defenses are set up. 

The surrounding biome is a good, wild, black sand desert, with the corner poking into a mountain biome.  Highwood, Feather Wood and Saguaro are all over the place, but it's very very unsafe to send dwarves out there to get them.  What has turned out to be most dangerous are kobold ambushes; they tend to bring archers more than any other attacker, which can critically wound my dorfs before anything can be done to stop them.  The reclaim itself was also very challenging, since my fort was full of ogres and goblins, not to mention an angry ghost which almost immediately tore the legs off what I had intended to be the expedition leader. 

The original cause for the first set of dwarves' death was an unlucky encounter with a band of kobold archers.  They had made their way into the courtyard, and a that time the curtain wall didn't cover the forward approach, so they sat there taking potshots at my dwarves.  There was a retreat to the underground, but two of the starting seven died, causing a couple tantrums.  I had used a webspitting forgotten beast to trap several others in cages, which had been placed as decoration in my main hall, and unfortunately one of the tantruming dwarves released a particularly nasty one.  This was around the time a sieging army of ogres and goblins showed up, several of whom were riding flying creatures. 

I've had two adventurers visit the fort while it was abandoned.  The position of the fort places it on an otherwise uninhabited stretch of land between two sets of civilizations, so it was a much-needed pit stop when attempting to travel between the two.  One adventurer, a dwarf necromancer, managed to sneak into the underground and raise the corpse of another FB, which in turn was used to clear out most of the fort's inhabitants, making the reclaim possible.

So... since I haven't used stonesense in a while/much at all, does it actually display different colors for different wood types as well? Since Apani's screenshots seem to indicate that...

Also, I once had a fort where I was doing something similar to orius (http://www.bay12forums.com/smf/index.php?topic=48172.msg3404472#msg3404472), but it was 15z or so high (with bedrooms in the walls with windows, like orius), was going to be roofed off from the surface with clear glass blocks, have an artificial waterfall from the top to the bottom (draining away 1z below the bottom). I can't remember what room I originally intended for the bottom, but after dropping a cave-in to open up the pit, I found out that cave-in had made the bottom-level floor sand/soil instead of rock (and I had already started on the drainage so didn't want to lower it by one more), which started growing grass, so I ended up going for statue garden.

Never did complete it, probably due to wandering away from DF. Would've looked awesome in stonesense. I have a couple of ideas rolling around in my head that weren't stonesense-centered, but should look pretty amazing in it, but currently doing a pretty regular fort.
Title: Re: Post Your Stonesense Screenshots
Post by: Apani on September 08, 2013, 10:34:30 am
Yes, it does. The color is based on the [STATE_COLOR] tag.
And about that "thing similar to orius" (can't really name it) I've just seen a similar thing in The Banners of Heart, a succession fort I've just made screenshots for.

The [STATE_COLOR] tag is used as a fallback if there's no defined color in stonesense, and all wood has a color definition in stonesense, at least vanilla wood, anyway.
I should know, since I spend a lot of time putting in colors for them all.

The screenshots come from the Masterwork Mod. Note that despite all its creator's efforts to simplify wood into only one type, I still play with that feature off.

Was indeed cool.

It's funny because I was just playing with stonesense due to finding an absolutely absurd formation in adventurer mode (and promptly hurling myself off of it expecting to die only to skid safely to a stop roughly 432 tiles away (http://mkv25.net/dfma/movie-2730-leapoffaith), if my math of 48 tiles per 1 travel mode tile is right) but I do foster ideas of trying to hollow them out and making a downtown skyline, the first shot is roughly the direction I jumped in the movie, incidentally... well, I was aimed upwards a bit, but you get the idea.

I think this might be the reason I finally feel motivated enough to figure out why armok vision didn't want to work right last time I tried, and yeah, the turtle/blimp megaproject gif was definitely a hell of an intro post, we now know you're obsessive with your megaprojects, and have an odd sense of humor or an unhealthy fascination with blimps and turtles.
