I spent all day yesterday rabidly reloading waiting for the above post to appear TODAY.. BRINGS SATISFACTION!

Thanks again, Sir Phoebus!

EDIT: On your front page the 'Pre-Installed Package for Windows @DFFD (w/ DF 0.40.10)' hasn't had its number updated yet (though all is well and updated at DFFD, of course)

Thank you for sharing your enthusiasm, and for noting my oversight.

*Updated* 0.40.10v00
Updated to Dwarf Fortress 0.40.10.
(No RAW changes)

I'm very busy at the moment and can't find the time to make any changes to the graphic set. I've at least updated to the latest version. Sorry for the delay.

Maybe another suggestion?

All tilesets except Ironhand have some duplicate wall tiles. Literally the same graphics, although they are used differently in the game. Some of the are wall-to-wall and other are wall-to-natural-rock. Your set has 4 tiles that exist 3 times, looking the same, although they could look different and would improve the look of a fort.

I did a quick mock-up with paint to show exactly what I mean:

Suggestion: Make 8 new tiles for the ones I mentioned, and blur the most common inorganic/rock tile you have into these walls, so that you have a natural, flowing progress from smoothed wall to natural rock wall.

I've considered that suggestion, but I do not like that style for multiple reasons.
Even in ASCII those walls terminations are only walls, not wall/stone hybrids. ex: ╘════╛
Also, I cannot represent the appropriate stone texture for the stone type with it's specific foreground and background colors.
I think I'd rather just change those wall ends into pillars. Doing so could also save one tile as I could use one of those 8 tiles in replacement for the tile I currently use for the normal pillar.

Is there anyway to make the swarm of flies show up as anything but tile 177? In creature_insects they are tile:250 but they don't show up as it, and if you add them to the graphics, graphics_nwkohaku_bugs for example they still don't show up as anything different. Not that it really matters.  I think they probably carry the miasma around with them maybe which gives them the tile 177.

Vermin can't have their tiles replaced with tiles from the graphics folders. It's an engine limitation.
Vermin that swarm will use hardcoded tiles, like tile 177, to represent the swarm.
Yes, it sucks.

Correct, the 40.07 graphic set is compatible with 40.08.

*Updated* 0.40.07v00
Added Meph's new human monarchs.
Updated to Dwarf Fortress 0.40.07.

Thanks King Mir. I've updated the main post with the correct version.
