That's right

That is right

Wow those flames are looking good. 

I drew a 256x256 web, but then realized that Japa probably meant "flying spiderman-type" web (like a particle effect type thing).  I might try some seafoam or something tomorrow, assuming DT hasn't already completed it all by then Here it is anyway:

In other news I've been slaving away at these dwarf sprites (still).

Everything is on separate layers and really huge, which is making my image editing software sputter at the memory cost.  In hindsight this would have been a lot simpler to work with at a lower starting resolution.  Hopefully I'll have something to test in the next few days.

yeah, the web effects are for what the spiders are currently shooting. make some GCFs in arena mode to see what I mean.

I'll test out that fire when I get home.

That's boss, Japa.

Here are some flames to get started, I'm still looking over the other effects to see what I can do.

That looks incredibly great, I love this fire.

Just how far will StoneSense go?
I mean, I used an old version for DF210, and it was already looking great, but each time I see the new stuff, it becomes even better every time.

Smoothed out the edges of the webs a bit.  That GCS festival is a sight to behold.

I threw together a few shots of the large-format dwarves I've been working on.  They definitely need some touchup around the edges, but more than that I'm not really pleased with how they are looking zoomed out.  This works well as a proof of concept, but I think I'll need to start over again (or at least revise them significantly) before they're worth using.

I love these at high resolution, but I have to agree.  You lose a lot when you zoom out.

Hey guys I get the error "The application has failed to start because its side by side configuration is incorrect"...What should I do?

[Rose]

get the latest version that comes with dfhack

[sarus92]

Still doesnt work with the newest DF.. oh well

[Rose]

no, it doesn't, sorry. Give it a day or two.

[Caldfir]

So I noticed that the zoomed out versions weren't being downsampled like you would expect:

(left is stonesense result, right is smoothed shrunk version of zoomed-in version using photoshop)

After poking around a bit I managed to turn mipmapping on, which should create cleaner images on zooming out.  The dwarves I posted before still don't have enough contrast to work properly, but I whipped something up quick to show how nice and smooth the zoomed images look:

I am not sure where to report the problems encountered with Stone sense that is delivered with DFHack, so please forgive me if this is not the right place.

I noticed that, while working great for about a minute, most functions would not respond after that, restarting the tool would not help at all, only quitting DF entirely would do.

For example, it will stop following the DF screen, and will basically only draw the last layer it drew successfully.
It can still be moves around, but it won't refresh and the image is limited to what was drawn on screen at the time (meaning that navigating will show the "borders" that are not the map, but the scene borders.

I also tried to reload the plugin, it crashed the whole game.

It's too bad, as it is really a tool I loved to use in the DF2010 versions, both as a 3D vision tool and to explore the embark to cheat my main stair case not going strait into a cave's lake.

This is indeed the right place to report these kind of problems. This is a known issue, and we don't know what's causing it. could you upload a save where this happens consistently? that'll help with finding the issue.
