[v] Visualize
« on: April 30, 2012, 05:47:57 am »

While looking over the wiki, I found this:

http://dwarffortresswiki.org/index.php/Visualize

I notice the version is from before my time with the game... Are there are screenshots of how this built in 3D visualizer looked? Is there any reason it was removed?


I have StoneSense, but I'm curious if this old built in visualizer was 3D ASCII. LOL

It was grey polygons depicting where you looked.

You can look at it if you play dwarf mode with the 40d version.

It's not really worth it. It was removed because it was pretty much useless when compared to all the third party visualizers. I think there may have been a legitimate reason, but that was why it was removed rather than improved/fixed.
