Kind of, though not exactly. I'm still upset with myself that I never managed to release a set using your tool... There weren't enough 32x32 tiles around. Oab has creatures, but no terrain, Vettlingr is missing most of the creatures, and Vordak is out to do his own set, not wanting to mix his artwork with other sources. Then the work on the Steam set came along, taking priority... Sorry. :/

The main difference between what I'm trying to do now and back then is this:
Old version: pick a tile from an option of pre-set tiles.
New version: pick pre-set parts of a tile, to create a new tile.

Honestly I just had that idea today, and I can't test anything at home for at least a month, so i'm just spittballing atm. Till then I wanted to at least gather some infos about how to possibly do it. Watching YouTube tutorials atm. ^^

Hey guys,

One of my tileset-related ideas hit a bit of a hurdle. Essentially I'd love to offer people a choice of multiple Photoshop layers (or .png files if you want) that can be stacked to create a new image.

For example load "background 1" + "texture 3" + "material 6". I'd draw the artwork first, and players could open a little program, pick a list of options from drop-down menus, and  it would save the resulting choices as a new .png for them to use.

I'm not sure what program to use. I mostly have experience with VisualBasics from my mod-installer for Masterwork DF, but that's not working on macOs or Linux, and I don't think it can do what I'd need with the images.

Does anyone have experience with something like that, or can point me in the right direction?

I knew this was coming... So: new df is out. I'll wait till general bugfixing, dfhack and twbt are done before I can update this set myself. Just to let everyone know.

Seeing this updated would be pretty cool. The biggest problem are probably the interactions. Narhiril did a lot with interlocking interactions, for example magic users that only buff other magic users, with exact timing.

Those don't work anymore, because the AI changed on how to use interactions. It's the main reason I had to retire most of Masterwork DF after updating from 34.11.

It's a big change. ^^

The potion making seems to accept any plants, try stockpile profiles to only use the new shrooms. Sorry for that.

Flying imps would cause all sorts of problems, but I might be able to make the accept not wearing clothes. They still could, but would take less emotional damage. I don't want to make them completely lacking emotions.

I will add/merge it once the steam update hits. Masterwork mod, tileset, everything.
