That's right

I'm not gonna ask how you know that.

Though I guess the behaviour doesn't hold up in 0.31 as group training is done, so sparring wrestlers don't throw each others' clothes all around anymore as wrestlers don't spar.

SDL version of 31.06 (custom tileset and RAW if it makes any difference) and Stonesense RC2 from previous page + Memory.xml from Japa post
window XP

Starting the program, press F9 as requested and "Connecting to DF" is up for a second or two, then disappear and the stonesense window stay entirely black, the program seems frozen, can only kill it with CTRL+ALT+DEL

I'm having this problem as well.
my log file looks like this:

EDIT: after messing around with the init options a lot, I noticed that switching to directX fixed the problem, seemingly.
nevermind. :p

EDIT 2:
new question - is there a tutorial resource for assembling new workshops? I am using a mod that adds different furnaces, and I'd like to make them look nice, but the building files are confusing.

[Answerer]

Hey guys!! My english is bad and i really need in help with my problem:
i run StoneSense, and It DOESNT render CREATURES, but it renders terrain, trees, bushes...
Please, help me.

p.s. Stonesense is amazing! Amazing like DF =)

Fortifications Redux:



Meant to be rendered directionally, so that the channel runs in the direction of intended firing. They also double as Arrow Slits (seen in the tower walls), and channels for fluids (might require some separate sprites, if we can retrieve Current Fluid Depth + Fortification in a given tile). Also, the 4-posts one is a temporary corner Fortification (I can't come up with a good way to represent this, and it looks ugly, so I rendered it with more aesthetically pleasing solid walls).

That looks awesome

Reporting a minor bug: stockpiles are switched with zones in the .ini file. When I set it to show zones, it shows stockpiles and the other way around.

[Footkerchief]

Also, the 4-posts one is a temporary corner Fortification (I can't come up with a good way to represent this, and it looks ugly, so I rendered it with more aesthetically pleasing solid walls).

How ugly?  Judging from the sprite, I think it'd look okay, but I guess it's hard to tell without a screenshot.

Anyway, the others definitely look great.  Kudos.

looks good.

just remember they should be light gray/white for the coloring to work properly.

There are a few tutorials over at the DFwiki Stonesense page, but none for buildings yet.

If you look at the XMLs, some of the workshops are crazy complicated (which personally I don't like too much), combining several sprites to from one block of a workshop etc.

But if you look at the Still, I think that one is a bit simpler. It'll give you an idea of how stuff works. And you can always just ask me if there are any questions

[Rose]

actually, there's a problem.

stonesense does not currently support custom workshops.

[jonask84]

Aren't they like any other modded building?

Edit: Got it, thanks

[Haspen]

All modded buildings are actually 'custom workshops'.

I'm guessing that it looks very much like an open tile, especially when upon the top of a wall.

Wow, amazing...any hope of being able to combine it with the interface and play the game with these graphics?

The style is a little cartoony for me, not gritty enough, but who am I to complain?

[Solifuge]

For the sake of discussion, would the current incarnation of Stonesense support Music or Ambient Sounds? Environmental Ambience might be a rather nice way of increasing immersion... perhaps Biome/Climate-specific music, or Surface vs. Underground ambience? Could thematic tunes cued by certain lines of text work? ("A Vile Force of Darkness" could cue an iteration of Siege Music, or "has been struck down" could cue the Willhelm Scream, etc.)

It's merely an idea, and I'd definitely say group discussion about what would best suit DF, and what is possible with Stonesense so far, should come before any plans to implement something like that. Even just a customizable playlist folder might be nice for folks, with some sample tunes thrown in by default, and which would cycle through or play at random. I'm not sure if Software-handled MIDI is considerably lighter-weight than MP3, but performance effects would be another consideration, for certain.

Anyway, what are your thoughts on implementing Music, Ambient Sound, or Sound Effects in Stonesense?

The style is a little cartoony for me, not gritty enough, but who am I to complain?

I rather like seeing cheerful little countryside Fortresses, filled with cartoonish, colorful graphics of dwarves... coupled with endless wars, unknowable horrors from the deeps, mining accidents, medical malpractice, and the stench of rotting dwarf-corpse wafting in from the mass graves right next to the stone stockpiles, which slowly drive the residents into a madness to rival that of the Elder Gods.

It's a beautiful little irony.
