What does the texture type represent? There are several types to choose from, but I don't know what their significance is. Can anyone explain in detail?

quote:
For the DEFAULT options, the format is
"texture type:creature token:x location on tile page:y location on tile page:whether to color it (ADD_COLOR or AS_IS)"
Type of textures:
DEFAULT
ADVENTURER
GUARD
ROYALGUARD
CASTLEGUARD
SKELETON
ZOMBIE

Sure can!

Your common or garden creature, let's say, a dwarf swordsman, has an entry in graphics_example.txt that looks something like this:

       [SWORDSMAN :DWARVES:3:0:AS_IS :DEFAULT]

The default at the end is his current "texture" type.

       [SWORDSMAN :DWARVES:3:0:AS_IS:ADVENTURER]

Would therefore mean a dwarf swordsman who is also an adventurer.

       [SWORDSMAN :DWARVES:3:0:AS_IS:GUARD]

Will give the tile to a dwarf swordsman who acts as a guard in adventure mode (I think. This is what it does for humans and elves anyway, it might be a bit different for dwarves).

       [SWORDSMAN :DWARVES:3:0:AS_IS:ROYALGUARD]

Gives the tile to a swordsman in the royal guard. The royal guard are the ones that normally appear as purple @s.

       [SWORDSMAN :DWARVES:3:0:AS_IS:CASTLEGUARD]

Gives the tile to swordsmen who are serving in the fortress guard, normally represented by blue @s.

SKELETON and ZOMBIE are for the undead variants of a dwarf swordsman.

Hm, that's odd. I was going to update put up an update in a few days anyway though, I'll fix it then.

If you want, sure. If you are going to though, sorry to be picky, but I generally like to keep the tiles coordinated to their original colours, and so while your butcher is looking great, I probably wouldn't use it.

No clueabout any of this, but is there anyway to make them all bigger and more detailed for those of us with the machines and realestate space? I'm on a 24" widescreen that does 1920 x 1200 and a hefty machine that could handle it.

How would I go about doing it myself? Any tutorials? Where do you get the lists of in game creatures from?

I am also confused about another thing.

You have the init file that uses 2 types of graphics: the ones that go in the data/art folder and then some that go in the raw/graphics folder.

Am I correct that the game uses BOTH these folders at the same time or does it use only 1?

[trousermonkey]

I can second the kings request.   I too have a 24" monitor and would like to see some larger graphics sets...

Yep. Those are the ones.

You can make them bigger. But you need some obscene screen resolution, over 2000xsomething to display it. Hopefully one day Toady will unrestrict the viewport, size of tiles, etc etc, and you'll be able to use the utterly amazing set that the Mike Mayday/Herrbdog/Guybrush Syndicate has been working on.

As to where to find lists of in-game creatures. Well... speaking from a personal perspective, I went through all of the raws and wrote them down. It was quite time consuming.

As to your final question: yes. It uses both, the one that goes in /art is the plain ol' ordinary tileset for walls and text and stuff, and the other one is for creature sprites.

Was there anyway you managed to create a list for the Humans, Elves, Goblins, Kobolds profession types? I'm unsure if new professions were added for the new version.

Through guesswork, play, and having people tell me mostly. I would doubt that they have much in the way of new jobs, though you never know.
