Author Topic: How about mining designations outlined to show where walls will be formed?  (Read 1662 times)

The unmarked (black) tiles will be walls. Done.

The concept of a suggestion for convenience escapes some of you? I'm not saying that it's rocket science to figure out where the walls are. I'm just saying that it becomes inconvenient when you're trying to take in walls relative to walls for many rooms and so on and could be made more convenient at a glance with outlines.

It's more that I have no idea what the hell you're suggesting and/or how it differs from what already exists.

Depending on the tileset, tiles marked for digging sometimes show as (almost) black rather than brown. They're actually reversed like rails are rather than indicated in brown... so maybe it's best just to display a particular tile to indicate the area that's marked to be dug out, rather than an inversion of the tiles that are marked.

The area designated for digging would have a sort of outline in the undesignated tiles adjacent to it. I can see the use, but doubt that it'd be worth Toady's time.

[GreatWyrmGold] gets a little crown. May it forever be his mark of Cain; let no one argue pointless subjects with him lest they receive the same.
