DF Gameplay Questions / Graphics Mods?
« on: May 14, 2013, 02:08:12 am »
Hey there.
Dwarf Fortress is awesome, have to say: what an incredible game. I'll always remember my first game, and not knowing wtf to do and getting all seven dwarves beaten to death by a river by a sasquatch (or bigfoot or wookiee, I forget - it was years ago). Luckily, having played numerous dungeon crawls, I thought this was par for course and a decent game.
Anyway, I'm back!
But, newb as I am, I really wanted representative icons for my playthroughs on this game; the only thing that ever bugged me about dungeon crawlers was never the random deaths, the OP enemies, the completely absent tool tips, the learning cliff, or resentfully expressed lack of f**ks given by the game or its creators, but the ASCII 'graphics' where one time an e is an eel, and you step on it, and the next time, the e is an elf, and it cuts your arms off and kills you on an altar to your own god.
Okay, shutting up.
Summary: 3D/nice looking mods that work with current DF versions?
