I'm getting a crash with DF 0.31.18 and PGS 0.31.18v00

it's a save game from DF 0.31.16 with PGS 0.31.16v00 (Ithink)

the savegame loads fine, but then crashes when I unpause.

DF errorlog has a couple of pages of:
Unit has misaligned bp modifiers.  Adjusting.

any ideas?

Did you try loading your savegame with 0.31.18 vanilla? Try also deleting and replacing the raws with the vanillar 0.31.18 raws.

Too many players have had problems migrating from DF0.31.16- raws to DF0.31.17+ raws.

I think I found an error: brooks look like lines of boulders instead of water.

That's not a error (with the graphic set.)

To make brooks crossable, the game currently uses a hack where brooks are covered by a solid roof (that can be walked over.)
When the brook dries or freezes, the solid cover is displayed as rock.

Hey, Phoebus -- Minecraft just released official support for texture packs. Would you be horribly offended if I tried to convert your graphic set into a workable Minecraft texture pack?

Has it already been done?

Anyway, I'm sure you're going to be busy momentarily with 31.17...

I reiterate...

It's not been done, and I would not be horribly offended if you tried.

Sorry for the delay.
Working on the update right now.

Phoebus, I hope you know that when you press Z in Fortress Mode, and you look to your right, you'll see a lot of the nobles do not have their own sprite!
They share one and the same sprite. Is that something you are working on, or just don't care to be implementing?

Nobles do have their own sprites.
AFAIK, the status screen problem is a bug with DF's graphic engine.
Every graphic mod had the same problem last I checked.

Well, for personal aesthetic reasons, I'd prefer the metal door icon to the stone one; how would I go about switching the display of those two tiles? Do I just swap the position of the two in the tileset images or do I need to do something more complicated?

Which tileset are you using? The default one?

Yeah, the default one from the first link in the op.

Replace data/art/Phoebus_16x16.gnp with this image:

The stone door tile will have the metal door graphic.

Just wanted to ask, i'm still on .12 and i used the quick install, and the tiles show up fine for the game i've been playing since before - however i've tried genning new worlds and they show up in the default graphics tileset. How do i get new worlds in the phoebus tilesets?

I'm not sure I understand, but I'll try to answer:

Answer #1:
You need the use pre-installed package, then copy your old savegames over.
The 'Package without game' is for those that download the official DFv0.31.16 game and then install the package over it. If you install that package over the 0.31.12 version of the game it will break.

Answer #2:
If you installed the pre-installed package, it's going to be unpacked in a new directory. Any old shortcut will be linked to the location of your old version of DF, so it's likely you could be have been trying to gen new worlds with the old version.

Answer #3:
*scratches his head*

Just a heads up -- the first page still lists a link "with" 31.15, even though the link itself brings ya to a 31.16 page.

Edit: And now it's fixed. Thumbsup.

Thanks.

I've been investigating how doors react with the Phoebus tileset. It's... odd. It looks like there are four different door tile characters, one each for metal, stone, wood, and glass.

When in the stockpile, doors behave normally -- Olivine appears as a door, metal doors have bright colors, etc. But when you install a metal door, the tile changes to that of a stone door, and the colors likewise mute or warp to something possibly completely different.

I'm not sure if this is something fixable (installed metal doors using the stone door tile) or related to the unfixable glass portal / olivine door issue, but I thought I'd mention it anyway, on account of its weirdness.

A while ago I've investigated the same myself, and I've found the behavior to be similar/identical in vanilla DF.
The game has been designed to work with the ASCII tileset, and in that symbolic tileset these kind of shenanigans are reasonable due to the heavy abstraction. In graphical tilesets, not so much.
