Symbol for material
« on: November 28, 2007, 01:28:00 pm »
Hello.
In the raw/objects folder you can edit the tile used by a given object (say, hematite) but changing the value doesn't seem to have any effect in-game.
Is there some way to actually change it?

I haven't played around with materials, but have you tried doing it on a fresh install that hasn't generated any worlds. If you have generated any worlds before making the changes I would also suggest restarting your computer.

Usually just generating a new world works for me, I had a hard time earlier because my changes wouldn't happen. I deleted DF and extracted it again, still no dice. So I deleted it, restarted my computer and then installed DF again and it worked fine.
