Question about engravings
« on: March 21, 2017, 08:25:42 pm »

So recently I downloaded the game again to play some more to prep for the new updates coming out in hopefully a few months. When I was playing Fortress mode I told my dwarves to engrave stuff and it changed all the tiles to be the picture of whatever they were engraving which really makes the fort look terrible. When I last played the graphics packs I used just changed them to be fancier looking walls with like squiggles and stuff on them. Is there any out there that still do this? Is it some sort of bug?

There's an option in the options file to turn it off as default. Then wiki says use d-v to turn off ones which are already showing.

The setting is probably this one in d_init.txt

Don't use a graphic pack?  Then it more or less looks like scribbles.
