Like it currently does, Picture

Same as many other stones, but shaded dark black Picture

Expand current style to include missing sprites (time consuming)

Redesign style and expand to include missing sprites (time consuming)

Just a heads up that I finished my subterranean animal sprites and theyre on the content repository for anyone interested!

Currently it doesn't contain the animal men of the underground, but all critters and the elemental men are done from the subterranean.raw (I think).

And although the undead sprites are in the pack too, like jonas just said, they not currently recognised by SS, but hopefully I've got the xml written properly for when they are supported.

I think I'll head on to the mans/evil now just so I can get all the chasm and underground river critters I missed.

Holy hell, Beefmo! Those are friggin' gorgeous! And I don't exaggerate!

Everyone needs to check those out ASAP. The static image doesn't do them justice; those animations are fantastic! The Cave Swallows are my favorites, and fly with completely fluid, natural motions, with the flowing Mud Man my second favorite. I want to see more of these!


(Cave Swallows, a Fireman, and a Skelegator)

P.S. This totally looks like a Solifugid. You win forever.

[Khalan]

Will these be included in RC2?

[Lord Nightmare]

I hope so, those sprites are awesome as all heck. WOW.

With the release of Granite, I thought I'd take the opportunity to get some screenies of my current fort, Undergrotto (spoilers: it's a giant underground grotto). Big thanks to all involved for making such a great visualizer.

Spoiler (click to show/hide)

The park (muddy plateau), the beach by the lake, a pool, and the trade depot post.


The social sector: The lighthouse, mayor's manor (unfinished), tavern, and glass 'food pyramid' leading down to the glass dining pod over the lake.


Engineering, including the head engineer's aquarium office.


A nice slope leading up to the plateau where the jail will eventually be. Also an overhang.


The magma caldera. The cave there goes down to the DM's dungeon (seen in the last screenshot).


Part of the industrial plaza.


The very plain shrine to Armok out in the middle of the lake.


The graveyard + undetaker's shack. Every dwarf gets a mound, and a statue for a headstone if it's occupied.


Mountaingate, the hollow mountain that serves as the decorative main gate. The current bridge system is temporary.


The DM's dungeon under the magma caldera.

ed- The current DFMA map for comparison. Still a work in progress.

[Haspen]

It's like Copperblazes, nay, Copperblazes²!

And even better, with graphical representation!

[DoctorZ]

Your fortress should be the posterchild for SS.


Because it actually LOOKS like a functioning city.

[Gauphastus]

Haha. Wow.
That's some good looking stuff there.

[dyze]

yeah very impressive, and it looks so good with SS! the magma caldera looks badass. if only the statues were facing the right, it'd be perfect. in fact, that could be a feature in SS. shift-click on appropriate objects to change their facing or something..

[DoctorZ]

SS still looks very Escher though, as shown in some of those screenies.

SS still looks very Escher though, as shown in some of those screenies.

As in, the different height levels when side by side seem to be the same level? If so, there's a bit of that, yeah. Maybe some kind of very slight effect that darkens area the lower they are from the top visible layer? Though I feel that would cause a lot of slowdown.

The only real qualm I have about Stonesense right now is the placeholder corners. Stuff like the mini glass pyramid would look much nicer without being a bland grey pyramid on four glass posts. But I know that's a temporary thing until the next round of texture work is done, so it's not really an active concern.

if only the statues were facing the right, it'd be perfect. in fact, that could be a feature in SS. shift-click on appropriate objects to change their facing or something..

That'd be neat... To my knowledge, the mouse doesn't interface with SS yet (though I could certainly just not have noticed, I've never tried). There'd also be the issue of real-time viewing and objects facing one way - how would Stonesense retain the direction a statue is facing without the knowledge being stored in DF? Especially considering that statues may be removed at any point.

[Lord Nightmare]

That'd be neat... To my knowledge, the mouse doesn't interface with SS yet (though I could certainly just not have noticed, I've never tried).

Yes, mouse does interface with/affect stonesense: it can be used to pan the minimap view around (the thing in the upper right), and, in debug builds, can move around the debug cursor.

[Hal Nicholas]

Can Stonesense see items/objects yet?

[Solifuge]

[quinnr]

Can Stonesense see items/objects yet?

Nope....
BTW, is Granite way faster for anybody else? It seems faster for me...

[Haladuz]

Awesome fortress Retro! Congratulations!
Love the sprites Solifuge and Beefmo, you guys rule, these shoes suck

Haladuz:  Love the leechman but the Tigerman looks too much like Aaaarnold.

Thanks! Yeah, I totally agree Tigerman is no good, so i redid it, But it now has a somewhat confusing appearence, not sure.

Can anyone tell me if by drawing these sprites I'm being somehow helpful or not?
