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.

At least use winmerge or beyondcompare or any other program like that.

I use brackets, it has a double view with differences where I can simply click to revert.
So, correct me if I'm wrong, I'll just replace what that mod adds (different body parts, instead of vanilla body parts, and recipes) while mantaining your tiles. right?

[Meph]

Yes. It's only the text files in raw/objects, everything else you can ignore.

[Meph]

And it's up. Sorry for the confusion.

Awesome! Thanks again Meph!

Meph, can you please upload at least the bare-bones edition in .zip format?  rar is a propriety format, and an enormous pain to work with - I literally can't open it with my scripts to build a pack, whereas almost anything can read and write .zip

FWIW .7z has similar problems, while .tar is not great on Windows but otherwise fine.

[Meph]

Sure, although I have to admit that I'm a bit confused. Can't winzip and 7z unpack rars too? It always seemed like a fairly universal format.

(Actually, screw that. I just tried using winzip for the first time, it says "my trail is expired" and I should buy it. Sure. I did upload it as 7z. I know you said it has similar problems for you, but it's all I have. Rar or 7z.)

I hope it helps a bit. If it's still a problem, I download some freeware that can do .zips.

[PeridexisErrant]

.zip is built in to Windows explorer!  You right-click on a file or folder, then "Send to -> Compressed (zipped) folder".  To decompress, you can just click on it and explore as you would a normal folder and copy-paste the contents out.

I was curious how much more space it would take up as a zip. Using normal compression, the zip version is 4 MB larger than the rar version (48.3 vs 44.1 MB). Turning the compression on the zip all the way up only saves an extra 465 KB bringing it down to 47.8 MB.

I have a special program just for unraring things because neither my preferred compression tool or the built-in decompression tool support rar.

I'm not sure how the script works, but could it call on a CLI un-rar tool?

[Meph]

Mh... you are right, just below the entire "winzip" section in the right-click menu is another "send to zip" in a subfolder. That one worked: http://dffd.bay12games.com/file.php?id=13439

So, I marked all races as playable in fortress mode on the launcher and then ended up generating a world where human and dwarven civilizations have all fallen. I want to play as dwarves in this world, but I can only select goblin and elf civilizations. How do?

[Meph]

You have to pick your civ in the civ tab before embarking. You can check which one is yours in the neighbours tab, the top one is your currently active civ.

The problem is that there aren't any dwarf civs anymore (I generated a lot of titans and megabeasts), the only options are three goblin civs and one elven. Is it just impossible to play dwarves in this world?

[Meph]

I think so, unless you go to data/save/region and open the entity files, leave dwarves playable and remove playable from all other civs.

I really love the look of your tileset, Meph, and I'm trying to get it working with Vordak's dwarves on a Mac after taking a long hiatus from DF. I notice it usually says Windows / Mac / Linux in the thread title, is it only possible to do by hand using the barebones version?
