hello, i'm having problems/bugs/strange behavior with graphics for military dwarfs.
as the title says, the axedwarfs show with the graphics of the woodcutters
strangely, one of my dwarfs is legendary in some civilian skill and when the game blinks to its blue legendary it uses the correct graphic, but greyscale, even if the axedwarf tile is marked as AS_IS.

here are the tokens for related graphics:
[WOODWORKER:DWARVES:1:1:AS_IS:DEFAULT]

[AXEMAN:DWARVES:8:0:AS_IS:DEFAULT]

[MASTER_AXEMAN:DWARVES:9:0:AS_IS:DEFAULT]

Strangely, the graphics for recruits work

[RECRUIT:DWARVES:8:1:AS_IS:DEFAULT]

another strange behavior is that in the 'z' status screen all military show as stoneworkers

I'm brazilian

For those that are not aware, my country in great social unrest, today probably more than a hundred cities saw protests on the streets
A brief description of the situation:
the whole thing was sparked by excessive reaction by the police to a pacific protest against rising bus fares in São Paulo
but the protests that are happening are not about the bus fares, instead are against the long corrupt government of the country
and the excessive expending on the soccer world cup, that are way over the budget. people are frustated that "suddenly" the country had money for such event, while many public services, like public schools and public hospitals(that are free for the people), are in very, very poor conditions(like people dying in the hospital's corridors waiting to be attended(remembers me of DF, sadly in real life)).

edit: also, its different from the arab spring, if anyone saw that in media, the people are not (at least yet) wanting revolution

after a long time, I'm releasing an update to the graphics pack I'm creating.
now with textures for all races and almost half dwarf professions made (all the most common(I think)).


Download:
http://www.mediafire.com/download/ctv74fow4cc193x/gabgraphs.zip

to install:
just extract the zip in the raw folder of the game and/or the save files you want

issues:
for some reason, DF doesnt use the military graphics, instead uses the stoneworker graphic

I was thinking, is armok a god of blood in what sense?
is it as bloodshed god or like some real cultures where blood is the symbol of life, meaning a god of blood would be a life-giving god?

Here is a little project of mine that I want to share
I didn't like the original "example" graphics so I tried making my own
for now only a few professions are ready:

Here are the current graphics:

extract the .rar in the graphics folder in the raws and delete or hide the graphics_example from the folder ( I suggest move it to the graphics_example folder)
[note: the broker and 2nd baby graphics are not used as I didn't liked how they looked)


I also tried making some animals... first a dog that ended looking like a cat, then a cat that looked like... i don't know, and a cow that looked like a dog...
also I have graphics for humans, elfs and kobolds but I can't make the game load them
also, doing this I realized how there are some redundant professions and skills, most annoying are the stone crafting, engraving and masonry.

I was thinking, whit the new interaction and syndrome system, is it possible to make a syndrome that sponges caused to themselves, affected only sponges, and made them numb, and unconsious, so they would act a little more like sponges?

is it possible to create custom secrets for my worlds?
if yes, where in the RAWS should they be?
