Icons, like ASCII but prettier.

Hand-drawn, like an old-timey sepia map.

Full graphics, like JRPGs with full-on sprites.

Same as the tileset ingame. Forests would use the tree sprite, mountains a rock sprite, etc.

Other. Please post your ideas/examples.

dfhack.init, at the very top. or just in the dfhack window.

EDIT: Mh... I just had the same. Game crashed, no reason, no log. Happened when I placed a farmplot.

[Novaris]

Farm plots tend to do this. The game seems to survey all possible seeds and then crashes occasionally. Happens more often if more or larger caverns are generated.

This season-palette line is commented out as I normally use a colorset created by DASTactics, just modified to have a true black. My question was which of the four season-palettes  you deem as 'default'

[Meph]

If you go into the "seasonal colors" folder, you see 4 subfolder. First one should be "DragonDePlatino (subtle) - This is the default set".

I didn't put a farm plot when it crashed, was just pressing arrow keys, I think :/

And I now modified the game by deleting the standard_dwarves.txt and now all the dwarves look the same! I think I did something wrong :O

Ah wait, that's probably there is no 'standard_vodrak_dwarves.txt' in my folder as it was generated before Meph added Vodrak's dorfs. Does this mean I need to copy everything else to my save folder too? All the raw graphics?

[Meph]

... yes. If you update the save, you need to update all the files in it, raw/graphics and raw/objects. that includes all the images and text files.

[Mrok Girl]

Doh.. I feel so silly. Anyway that's done now and working properly, and multilevel view is at 5 now so hopefully that will stop the crashes.

[Meph]

remember, "quicksave" is a very handy command.

The only other dfhack change I made is "twbt redraw_all 1", which is more processor heavy. If you still have crashes, enter "twbt redraw_all 0" into dfhack, that disables it.

[Mrok Girl]

remember, "quicksave" is a very handy command.

... there is a quicksave in the game? I've been out of the loop for too long! How do I use it? Or do you just mean saving the regular way early and often?

[jecowa]

Type quicksave into the Terminal window to save without quitting.

[Meph]

you just type "quicksave" into dfhack.

Default hotkey for it is "Ctrl-Alt-S". It's been there for a couple of years...

Very nice!
There might be a tiny of regression in \raw\objects\plant_new_trees.txt Line 3047

it was changed into

Code: [Select]

[STATE_COLOR:ALL_SOLID:DARK_TAN] *** https://www.woodworkerssource.com/shop/category/Walnut.htmlin some patch (.44?), but in the pack it's back to

Code: [Select]

[STATE_COLOR:ALL_SOLID:BURNT_SIENNA] *** not yet searched
not that it changes much but it may cause merge problems at some point

[Meph]

Ups, just found a little oversight... the page dimension of large_temperate is off... should be:

Code: [Select]

graphics_large_temperate

[OBJECT:GRAPHICS]

[TILE_PAGE:LARGE_TEMPERATE]
[FILE:large_temperate.png]
[TILE_DIM:32:32]
[PAGE_DIM:18:6]

Quick question: your tileset can distinguish between constructed walls and smoothed / carved ones. And you managed to defined special walls for ice and obsidian. would it also be possible to have tiles for constructed walls out of rock and different ones for metal and wood? like scaffolding for wodden walls and stairs, the carved wall tiles for walls errected with metal blocks and the wc2 tiles for constructed walls out of rock?

EDIT: also, I just noticed that the siege engine workshop has six black tiles in it, is this intended?

[Meph]

They shouldnt be black. They are transparent. Did you disable workshop transparency?

No, sadly I can't do constructed walls of different materials have different sprites. I wish. ^^

[Novaris]

not intentionally, but now its correct. hm, have to check my dfhack.init

Another question: it seems transparency only works for the current z-level but lower levels show black background in twbt. Am I using an old version or is this currently the behavior?
