That's right

Hey, hey, peeps! How's it going?

So, I'm wondering if anyone can help me out here with a problem I'm having. Stonesense keeps getting a C++ runtime error on startup, after spending about a minute or two trying to connect to DF. Thing is that I already have all the required redistributables, including the SP 1. So, what gives? Any ideas? I'm also running it as administrator as it won't even start if I don't.

Would be nice to get Stonesene working, as a I love DF, but am also a pretty visual guy, so Stonesense would make the experience even better.

Cheers.

Those dwarves are awesome!

Can we do the high-resolution thing with floors and walls and stuff too?

[Sorcerer]

Certain custom buildings still seem to crash it outright... Any ideas what might be causing this?

This is the only one of my custom buildings that crash.. is there any way to get stonesense to only draw a simple graphic instead of using the custom building blueprints that build ingame graphics automatically from the building tiles?

[Rose]

none of the buildings are done automatically, other than in a very basic fasion.

[Rose]

Those dwarves are awesome!

Can we do the high-resolution thing with floors and walls and stuff too?

any sprite that is set by an xml file can be at any resolution that's a power of two multiple of the default size. this include lower resolutions too.

[Sorcerer]

Do you have any idea what might be causing my custom buildings to crash then? It even happens if i copy the soapmaker building xml for one of my new buildings.

[Rose]

no idea. What are your buildings made from? Any custom materials?

[Sorcerer]

actually.. hmmm.. that could be the problem, currently one of them is made from nothing, I'll try that out, see if it fixes the problem.

[Rose]

that nay be an issue, I'll try to fix that.

[Sorcerer]

Yep, that did the trick, building a custom building with no building items crashes it. Gave my buildings a generic    

[BUILD_ITEM:1:NONE:NONE:NONE:NONE][BUILDMAT][WORTHLESS_STONE_ONLY][CAN_USE_ARTIFACT]

and they show up fine now.

[Rose]

Allright, I'll try to get that fixed

[EmeraldWind]

Agreed! Also, there's something to be said for the 200x zoom in Stonesense, and I really do like the larger sprites. Anyway, I decided to throw together a basic style for some job icons. So far, I'm thinking color-coded backplates for the job family, with an icon that represents their specialty (if we can get that)



A different style of base icon, or perhaps just a lone colorized Weapon Icon, can be used to represent specific types of soldier.

These are nice. Easy to look at and get the info you want from them.

Stonesense is crashing when I try to open it. I'm playing on DF 34.05

So, bear with me here on this possible idea, sprites from dollhouse furniture...?

What are you guys trying to do: make cool looking small pictures of furniture, possibly from several angles....

Small furniture:


I doubt any of you would buy actual physical dollhouse furniture you could photograph from any angle (or like, "make a website" showcasing pictures for someone who already had it ) there are craploads of pictures if you Google variations of "dollhouse furniture." They make tons of styles etc and a photograph as a sprite will of course be more realistic than any possible drawing. It might be possible to just make it...

We all know I'm crazy, but am I completely off the deep end here? I'm imagining I'm either nuts, or just coming up with an idea your average straight white male internet user wouldn't think of....
