I've been lurking this forum for a long time and I also want to say thank you all for your helpfulness and your awesome stories and of course a big thanks for all the modders out there!

It is always the same: take a niche thing, whatever it is, onto a platform with a broader audience and it will not only attract more people to it but it will unevitably lure out the "I-always-have-to-make-known-my-unjustified-opinion-on-things-I-am-not-interested-in"-folk.

But I am on @wierd side of things! Let us be helpful and polite to create a nice atmosphere for newly interested players and if there are people who behave immature then it won't be us and nobody can say "the df community is toxic".

The TWBT components are no longer installed by default on the repo. This is to allow TWBT to get the cool TWBT transparency features without making the pack look worse for non-TWBT users.
Here's how to install the TWBT components:
  • Open the /LNP/Graphics/Spacefox/ folder.
  • Copy the contents of the /data/twbt_art/ folder to the /data/art/.
  • Copy the contents of the /data/twbt_init/ folder to the /data/init/.
  • Copy the contents of the /raw/twbt_graphics/ folder to the /raw/graphics/.
  • Copy the contents of the /raw/twbt_objects/ folder to the /raw/objects/.
  • Right-click and "save link as" or whatever for onLoad_gfx_Spacefox.init
  • Copy the "onLoad_gfx_Spacefox.init" file into the /raw/ folder.
  • Launch the Starter Pack launcher, go to the Graphics tab, and double-click "Spacefox" and reinstall it into your saves.
This will give you dwarves and creatures without the background around them.
It will let you see the floor behind most of the furniture.
It will give you a text font designed for use with Spacefox.
It will make the workshops look fancy again.
And lots of other stuff.

I am using the Lazy Newb Pack on Linux and I don't have transparency at all. I tried to follow your steps but /LNP/Graphics/Spacefox/data/ does not include twbt_art or twbt_init. I have found these folders within my df_linux/data folder but there are only a couple of Phoebus_*.png's so I guess copying them into the Spacefox folder won't do.

On Windows with Peridexis' Newb Pack everything works like expected.

So I guess it is a packaging problem of Lazy Newb Pack for Linux.

Is it possible for someone to upload his/her Spacefox folder (zipped) so that I can replace mine?


@jocke the beast: Afaik the tileset should work flawlessly with the current DF version (44.12).
