Its smaller, but the same amount of tiles for text are present. This means that words cut off at the same space they would be before. Even if it looks smaller, there is no more text. A "goblin swordgoblin car" is still a "goblin swordgoblin car", instead of a carpenter. Especially in the tradescreen that might cause issues.

Well, it's not causing any more issues than already exist!  Narrower menus are both more readable and show more of the (square-tiled) map.  The trading screen is particularly awful, but Toady has said that fixing it is a post-July priority, so I wouldn't invest much effort in fixing it at the moment.

Narrower menus allow players to use the large menu (when you tab through, that large one that no one uses?), because its not that enormous anymore. It helps with reaction names at least. :)

Big ooops :)
And by the way it's the code that fixes trade screen (on OS X only) :) But I forgot it uses the only thing incompatible between r3 and later releases.


Try latest build from http://build.mifki.com
It also shouldn't crash with wrong PRINT_MODE.

Also on that page there is now first working build of multilevel rendering version. Copy shadows.png to data/art folder. Consider it beta - works, but no settings to configure rendering, no optimisations, and likely bugs. Doesn't load on Windows with r5 for some weird reason.

It's beautiful! Also it works with rendermax light. Thank you a lot!

Can't get it to work on win7 64bit with r3 either.



Edit: Yup, works fine with r4.

r4 works fine, though. Go figure.

Great work, can't wait to see what you bring us next. I wouldn't mind deepening the shadows and seeing more than just one extra Z-level at a time.

Dfhack r4 with Rendermax on Win8.1. Works. :)

It shows one additional z-level. :)

I can only see one extra level (for a total of 3), too. r4, windows.

Can you post screenshot and try without other plugins?

I'll try without other plugins in a moment.
Edit: Same thing with nothing but twbt in the plugin folder.
Another thing, DF crashes when zooming far out with mousewheel.
