Im also having the issue with 0's as Coffins instead of the proper TWBT tile.
Ill try manually copying the twbt folder contents to art / init instead.
Using the LNP doesnt seem to properly copy those files.

Hey, i havent played DF for many years, but was quite into modding it back in the day, tho a lot has been forgotten, such as what precise formats should be used!

I'm recently playing again with the Vettlingr 32x32 tileset, and the ShizzleClean_text font.
Though im finding the font to be a bit too large (but i love how readable the letters are).

I tried rescaling it in photoshop to the same exact pixel size as the vanilla curses800x600 file, but no matter what i try (either constraining the ratio, or not) i keep getting tiny slivers of the letters at the top and bottom, as if the tiles arent aligned, even though the only thing i've done is scale it down.

Any help getting the ShizzleClean font to the same size as curses800x600? And/or to a 16x16 size? Thanks!

Edit: okay so, i guess ShizzleClean_text is a 16x20 size, im trying to get it down a few notches, to like a 12x16 or something.
What really confuses me about this whole thing is that, i'm comparing to other fonts like Nagidal24x24shadeBeards which is a 24x24 font, and it looks SMALLER ingame than the 16x20 font..

Probably because i settled right next to my own civilization's mountainhomes.
I'm not used to things being so active in the world lol.
In my last game the only dwarven civ in the world was dying, and the queen herself moved into my fort O_o

Side-by-side didnt realize how arid my green grass was, nor how turqoise the river was.
But i've embarked in some biomes where the rivers have been darker blue. I tuned my color on an embark in a quite hot tropical area
Contemplating making the white less bone-colored, and the green / blue less yellow / turqoise.

Edit: yep, modified it a bit. It used to just be a merger of the above mentioned ones, but frankly i prefer it a bit more true to intended colors like this.
Greens a fraction less yellowish, cyans a bit less green, light grey and whites a bit brighter (makes snow look less like ash and text more readable)
Basically just 5 rgb value here and there tweaked, didnt wanna alter the aesthetic too much, but still not have temperate forests look like arid savannah.
Also dark reds fixed, wasnt even aware they were orange, at least now meat in the butchering workshop looks like meat.

IlFedaykin: Yeah, the 16 and 24x sets I downscaled in Photoshop, but it didn't quite work, because the -bg and -top files don't fit exactly. Since I use so much transparency, these versions really shouldnt be used anymore. It's easier to play with 32x and zoom out.

Alternatively, in the Terminal window enter "twbt tilesize 24 24" or "twbt tilesize 16 16".

Thats almost perfect for what i want (i feel 32x is a bit too big on my 1080p monitor).
The only problem (if Meph is reading) is that the transparency of some stuff like bags, barrels, rocks etc gets a tiny 1 pixel blue outline when zooming out or in.
Is there any way to fix this?

Also, there's a mismatch between the default DF install folder and the Meph32 tileset folder.
Because i started a game without changing anything, looks great had nice wooden floors etc. Then i switched to 24x and back to 32x (to get it to re-apply the pack from the folder), booted up the game and noticed my wooden floors now look like gray squares, and barrels had a different icon.
Which is the latest, the default DF folder pre-installed Meph32, or the launcher folder Meph32 you have to manually get to re-apply?
I guess some RAW's changed and thats why my wooden floors are now gray? Also noticed all my stone walls are the same color (slate, granite etc) in the pre-installed graphics. Aren't they supposed to be different colors?

And how to change this code to actually poison dwarves, when working with this material. I set it so that arsenic weapons and other metallic materials can be created. So you can trap e.g. goblins in toxic arsenic cages or shoot at them with toxic arsenic bolts. Full code of arsenic:

I think SYN_CONTACT only really activates when something is coated in a substance. Like how walking through water, blood, or pus can coat your feet in the substance.
So the only way aside from DFHack witchery is probably to have it only usable in a custom workshop with one of the products being poisonous boiling stone.

Using the latest 0.40.24 starter pack, with Phoebus tileset. With my own custom color scheme which has the strange effect of turning Vomit cyan, despite green being green in my color scheme, for some reason it changes vomit to cyan.

Could anyone help me locate or change the color of Vomit via the raws?  (what a glorious thing to bother modding, isnt it?)
I'd also like to change the Cherry leaves & fruits to PALE_PINK and PINK respectively (the tile "contaminants" that fall on the ground), i tried to, both in displayed_color and state_color, but didnt seem to work (perhaps it doesnt affect savegames, even if said savegames are updated via the launcher?).

Thanks! Been googling "blood raws" and "Dwarf fortress vomit raws/color" for an hour, literally only find disgusting stuff not related to my question, LOL.
Some things are just a bitch to google for, aren't they?

Vomit is a hard-coded material so changing its color specifically will require editing the DF program.

As for the contaminants be sure you edited the raws in the data\save\savename\raw\objects directory. Each save has its own raws and I don't have any experience with pre-packaged DF to know if the launcher takes this into account.

Blood is in material_template_default and each creature has its own (veiled) reference to blood so that can be edited on a creature by creature basis.

I have a couple of questions:

In order to be able to encrust gems onto weapons, I'd have to create a custom workshop, correct?
With this workshop, can I restrict the types of gems that can be encrusted? For example if I want only Emeralds, Sapphires and Rubies to be encrust-able and gems like diamonds to not be.

I think you can achieve this with vanilla and micro-ing stockpile-workshop connections. As for doing the mod thing
 

Code: (http://dwarffortresswiki.org/index.php/DF2014:Reaction#Products) [Select]

[IMPROVEMENT:<probability>100:<reagent name, often A or B>A:<improvement type>COVERED:<material token, can use material classes to make the reaction only choose materials with that class>]The things outside of <> is what I recommend for a start. Here's a more complete one with less obvious info.

Code: [Select]

[REACTION:ENCRUST_WEAPON]
[NAME:encrust a weapon]
[BUILDING:CRAFTSMAN:NONE]---At craftsdwarf workshop
[REAGENT:A:1:WEAPON:NONE:INORGANIC:NONE][PRESERVE_REAGENT]---the INORGANIC:NONE means it must be made of a material whose ID goes INORGANIC:X
[REAGENT:B:1:SMALLGEM:NONE:NONE:NONE][REACTION_CLASS:ENCRUSTING_GEM]
[IMPROVEMENT:100:A:COVERED:GET_MATERIAL_FROM_REAGENT:B:NONE]
[SKILL:ENCRUSTGEM ]
you'll need to add [REACTION_CLASS:ENCRUSTING_GEM] to the gem-able materials you want to encrust with.
 Making gems unable to be encrusted is impossible, you can even cut rock and encrust it on things.

When the product is finished; is it possible for me to 'change' the values of the item, making the item better? I.e. decreasing the impact area of hammers for better penetration but not actually changing the material the base weapon was made from(I'm guessing it's just an easy raw edit but I'd like to confirm this).

No, it is not possible to make the product better after improvements. To make it better you need to change the base weapon which is only possible by destroying the old one + all improvements and makes a new one.

Is it possible to use dfhack with twbt overrides to change the vomit color?
Something along the lines of;
[OVERRIDE:WhateverTileWaterIs:T::VOMIT:1:WhateverTileWaterIs:ForegroundColor:BackgroundColor:]

1. Should it work with T as the type, or M for material? Or C for contaminant?
2. What is the tile number for water anyway (phoebus)? The raws dont show it under Blood etc.

"Bearist McGrills was delighted after drinking his own piss."

Could happen! If only drinks (beer, rum, wine) could be spilled on the ground like water.
Still waiting for the piss and shit update to DF. You thought it was bad in Pixel Piracy, oh just wait.. All those cats and dwarven babies.

On a "serious" note though, thanks guys. That must be the cause.
I had the first migrant wave consist of about 20-30 people. ONE of which has a baby, a baby which is horribly cave adapted and puked upon first seeing the sun (when they were first walking into my fort!).
This baby, being carried by its mother fisherman, is still to this day, puking left and right everywhere he is carried.
I have vomit covering my walls, bridge and main entrance hallway, central stairway, dining hall, vomit dripping down the masterwork chairs, vomit soaking into the weavers and clothiers workshops, vomit spread on the engraved walls and floors of my statuary garden + burial tomb chamber.

I'm going to have to put him to sleep. There's no other way.
Vomit on my engraved walls, thats one thing. But vomit in my mayors water, then it's personal.
