Mac graphics/tileset questions
« on: February 09, 2010, 09:33:15 pm »
I'm working on getting DF working on my macbook, and I'm completely lost when it comes to getting the visuals working. I use the mayday preloaded thingy on my PC, so I really have no idea on how to actually get it to work. I'd like to get the mayday stuff working but if that's not possible I'm open for really any suggestions at all. Every time I try to get a tileset to work, I break everything. Help?

Download the mayday pack, and get a seperate clean install.
Copy the following folders from the Mayday pack to the respective directories in the clean install:
~/data/art
~/raw/graphics
~/raw/objects

Now go to ~/data/init in the Mayday pack, find the block which starts with [GRAPHICS:YES], copy the whole block, and paste it over the respective block in the new install.

I followed those instructions, and now it is just a black screen. The music is playing, but it's just not showing up. This is the problem I ran into last time I tried this. Admittedly I was doing other things wrong before as well.

Did you make sure you got the 40d16 or 40d17 version of DF? Because if you got the one off the site (which is 40d), that one doesn't support PNG graphics but rather bitmaps. You'll be the DF version that supports png graphics to use mayday's graphic sprites.

Also for stablablity, I recommend 40d16 because 40d17 is in it's bug testing stages and isn't very stable for now...

Here's the 40d16 link.
