Every time I try to load Stonesense while playing it crashes my game... Am I doing something wrong? Is it just unstable?

[Kryas]

Also, am I correct in thinking that not every creature has its own custom sprite?

[Meph]

For Stonesense? No. None of the mod creatures have sprites for it.

[Kryas]

Well also without stonesense. Some of my mastodon cows are displayed as a M

[Meph]

Ah, yes, I renamed them to Mastodon_4tusk, the graphics file still points towards Mastodon. Thanks for the heads-up, I'll put it to my list.

[Kryas]

Is this a simple fix then?

[Dirst]

Unfortunately not many mods have Stonesense sprites (The Earth Strikes Back does, but that was a hell of a lot of work for just a handful of creatures. Have yet to be hit by the strange mood needed to get SS sprites for Appearance Tweaks.)

If a mod's original tile graphics happen to be 32x32 or larger, then it's not quite as big a burden to make Stonesense sprites out of them, but still not easy.

[Kryas]

I am sorry Dirst, I meant is it a simple fix to get the game to correctly point to the Mastodon cows graphics in the normal game. I didn't make that clear so my bad.

[Meph]

Yes, its a simple fix.

Go to dwarffortress/raw/graphics/graphics_creature_masterwork.txt, search for the mastodon entry, and add a new entry below it:

Code: [Select]

[CREATURE_GRAPHICS:MASTODON_4TUSKS]
       [DEFAULT:CREATURE_MASTERWORK:28:10:AS_IS:DEFAULT]
         [CHILD:CREATURE_MASTERWORK:29:10:AS_IS:DEFAULT]
      [ANIMATED:CREATURE_MASTERWORK:28:10:AS_IS:DEFAULT] zombie
  [TRAINED_HUNTER:CREATURE_MASTERWORK:28:10:AS_IS:DEFAULT]
   [TRAINED_WAR:CREATURE_MASTERWORK:28:10:AS_IS:DEFAULT]
Done.
