The only solution is to get Ironhand's girlfriend into Dwarf Fortress--but not just that, also make it so that she uses Ironhand's Graphics Set, so that she DEMANDS he update it.

Oooohhhh..... dwarfy decision:) Now how do we contact her and make her love DF?.... that may be a problem:(

I tried that, and was laughed at because "I'm busy all the time playing "The Matrix"".

People still play that waste of money?

No, she just though that the ascii characters are like those green thingies from the screens on "The Matrix", and that I was essentially decoding them to understand what was happening.

Heres a few wip shots of the new minecart tracks I made.

Very nice, I'd love to be playing with those right now ... just designated a double-width haulage track from layer 3 to layer 157 to bring my ore down for smelting and food supplies for the workers.  The various pick-up locations would look much better with this set.

Thanks GoldenShadow. I appreciate your efforts.

Is there any way at all to have more than 256 tiles on the tilesheet, or have multiple tilesheets? I wonder if I can replace some of the unused alphabet characters. A lot of them are only used for text according to the wiki, but shouldn't this be redundant if you have truetype turned on?

These letters are only used for text or animals, which can have their own graphics:

Last I checked, not all the text in the game has been replaced with truetype.

First, thank you for updating the graphics. Comments then on your addition and changes.

Mine Tracks looks great, no complaints about them. Good work on the change.

Roads and Rivers, not so much. For a brief look for finding your Embark site it might be bearable, but come time you decide to enter Adventure Mode it looks absolutely horrible. In the Travel mode, or the Zoomed in Mode when your in a Hamlet, the road tiles become overpowering and it really encourages you to start training your Ambushing skill whenever you come anywhere near a hamlet or town, because you really don't want to be in the travel screen all that long with it.

[GoldenShadow]

Any suggestions on how to fix it. I very rarely play adventure mode.

Wild boar shows up as a "B"

Not sure if that's been reported yet.

[DavionFuxa]

I can't really give you any good suggestions. To spell out the problems in detail -

-Because of the size of the track, it makes the tile look bright, and when you have half your screen as road in a hamlet, you get a massive amount of bright green. This is less of an issue in towns but still a bit of an issue.
-There can be a lot of rivers and roads in addition to the Hamlets, and this further increases the amount of tracks your going to be running around on the screen.
-The Tracks themselves can also be a jumbled mess in a Hamlet or Town, making it difficulty to understand which way to maneuver.

Besides reverting the track tiles to the old straight line that was like before or creating two different tilesets with one focused on Adventure Mode and the other on Dwarf Fortress I'm not sure there can be any suggestion for improving the tiles as is.
