How do you make engravings show up properly?  I tried making them 50% transparent, but they show up when the wall isn't engraved, and don't show up when the wall is.  >:(

Here's what I have so far:


If you don't want to go insane you'll need to use layers.
Put your non-engraved wall layer on top of a black layer, and reduce the opacity of the wall layer slightly (75% is nice.)
Then, to create your engraving, you just need to delete black pixels from the underlying black layer.

In lieu of making truetype on by default, I'm letting you turn it on and off while the game is running, probably by pressing F12. Should be fine, yes?

Oh, and maybe have alt-f4 close dwarf fortress? :)

Phoebus' solution

Oh yeah, I was gonna put up my solution on the tile magic thread yesterday.
But I didn't.

No guarantees even, really. I'm totally booked right now.

But I will eventually.

The method I use doesn't make you darken your wall any, which is nice,
but it's also just plain more work than Phoebus' way.

Anyway, yeah, I have TONS of crap to do right now.
I can't promise the new critters for Friday. But by the end of the weekend, definitely!

I've gotta go catch up on school work.... : (

Quite fine, sir or madam, quite fine indeed.

That seems rather good, Baughn. Turn it off for the unit list so they're visible, then turn it back on for everything else.

It menaces with spikes of usefulness.

It's known as the Oppai-Kaiju effect. The islands of Japan generate a sort anti-gravity field, which allows breasts to behave as if in microgravity. It's also what allows Godzilla and friends to become 50 stories tall, and lets ninjas run up the side of a skyscraper.

I still wish he'd just fix TTF. Honestly, I'd rather the game catch up with itself for a month before it goes running off after new goals...

Also, then I would have a chance of catching up, too. = P

To be honest, I haven't updated your tileset for ages because I can't live without the old water depth tiles.

The new walls are pretty, but not worth the sea of numbers for me.

Thanks, this works great.  Only one problem, the Morian clusters in the middle show up as black on black.  Any idea how to fix this?

I sorely miss the swirly waters, I would love if they came back.  If it is an issue with people, it could even be an alternate choice, kinda like diagonal walls are now.

You'll need to edit the raws to fix that. Find the correct material in the raws and make sure the color isn't 0:?:0 (Black), 7:?:0 is dark grey so that should be a fine replacement.
Nice wall design btw.

Why wasn't this a problem with the other walls then?

It is a problem with the other walls; That is one of the (many) reasons why graphic sets come with modified raws.

That's odd, since I'm using the most recent full package from Ironhand.

You've probably never smoothed morion gem walls before while using Ironhand's.

Ironhand's graphic set has Morion foreground color set to Black.

Yeah, that fixed it.  Odd that nobody found that.
