I consider it an essential part of Dwaf Fortress, and can't play without it.

119 (18.5%)

I use it for pretty screenshots, but otherwise don't use it during play.

210 (32.7%)

I only try it occasionally.

173 (26.9%)

I have no idea why I'm even in this thread, I don't use it.

Having trouble getting Stonesense to work on an Ubuntu 12.04 live USB (DF 34.07).

stderr.log reads:

The DFHack terminal tells me:

Can't load plugin /home/ubuntu/Desktop/DF/hack/plugins/stonesense.plug.so

Any ideas?
FYI: I do have the libjpeg8 package installed.

Edit: i installed another package on a whim, and noticed some progress.

Edit 2: Turns out the white screen was due to the fact I had the game centered on an open field.  This is what it looks like if used near the actual fortress:

The ladydwarfs look great!

[Robotic]

Thanks for this, first time I've been able to run stonesense, makes me wish I'd kept my old saves.  Looks really great!

[kaypy]

OK, so in the near future we will need:

Engraved tracks, wooden tracks, metal tracks
All of the above on ramps (probably also including those annoying ramp top bits)
'Stopping points'
'Rollers'^[1]
Bridge tracks?^[2]
Wood and metal minecarts

We may want to see how some of it pans out in game first, but we can probably have the basics sprited in advance. Hopefully this may inspire someone to have better sprites than this ready for when they are needed...

[1] may be subject to reinterpretation?
[2] Toady said "bridges now also act as tracks"- this might mean *all* bridges...

[Rose]

Oh hello. look wo suddenly showed up.


Will I need to take you off the retired list?

[kaypy]

Will I need to take you off the retired list?

Hmm. I'm more in that sort of semi-retired hangs-around-but-doesn't-get-much-done state...

Leave it as retired unless/until sufficient evidence to the contrary is found 8-)

That log message is the correct one as far as I'm aware (indicates SS is running properly) but there's clearly something very wrong with the texture loading. 

If you press F10 what do you get?  You could also try setting [RENDERER:ANY] to [RENDERER:SOFTWARE] in init.txt, and see if that makes a difference. 

edit: unrelated: behold!

If anyone's keen, they can grab the dwarf images and sprites early from here.

So, after a bit of hiatus from Dwarf Fortress, I came back and looked through the old stonesense thread, and saw that support for various clutter had been added. This enthused me enough to get the game going again using 34.07.

Strangely, only a very small subset of the objects that I embarked with show up in stonesense; mostly just wood (not wooden objects, but wooden logs) and cave spider silk items.

I enabled debug mode to see if maybe it just didn't have sprites for the rest of the items, but the debug cursor doesn't seem to believe there are any other objects aside from the ones it shows.

Is this a stonesense issue, or a dfhack issue, or ...?

[Octopusfluff]

Update.

After playing a bit, some things that WERE showing up in my stockpiles have since vanished, including the debug cursor in stonesense indicating there are no items in that square.

The items in question that used to show up haven't moved.

[Rose]

I'm not actually sure why that happens, to be honest, and the only way I know to fix it involves reading from a different list of items which would be hell slow.

So I'm at least not the first person to experience this?

Anything we could do to try to troubleshoot this? I'm willing to help, if I can be of assistance.

[Rose]

I experience it quite a lot, and I don't really know what's up.

[Weaselcake]

What happened to my old fat pudgy stonesense dwarves?

I don't like these featureless flat pale dark-looking ones.

[Octopusfluff]

I don't like these featureless flat pale dark-looking ones.

So... which is it? Pale or dark?

They are a little dark-skinned compared to the old dwarves, but I don't really see how the old ones were 'pudgy' (or how this would be a desirable trait); the new ones seem pretty stout to me. Ah, subjectivity.
