Morning,
 After viewing frogwarrior's Catsplosion mod, I decided that I needed Catmen in my version of DF as a playable civ, something akin to a smarter, smaller version of tigermen.
After a few hours in paint, here is v1.0:
First published mod

(I used his structure + txt file as a general guidline)

Awaiting imageshack to send password email and then will put up some pics + screenshots.

The graphics_main.txt file is pretty simple if you take a look at it and compare it to the files it points to... Assuming you have a modded one. I'll just take a snippet from mine and slip it into a box.

[TILE_PAGE:CIV]
   [FILE:main/CIV.bmp] where the graphics are located.
   [TILE_DIM:12:8] The dimensions of each tile.
   [PAGE_DIM:10:5] Total amount of tiles in the file.

[CREATURE_GRAPHICS:CIV]

This is where things get Fun! The first entry is the class of the creature, like if it's a baby, a brewer, or a killsmith. The second entry is the name of the race. The numbers are coordinates on a grid corresponding to the tile information above HOWEVER you must remember that the grid starts at 0, not 1. 0:0 is the top left-most corner! AS_IS is the state the creature is in, the available tags are DEFAULT, GUARD, ROYALGUARD, ADVENTURER, ZOMBIE and SKELETON.

   [DEFAULT:CIV:0:0:AS_IS:DEFAULT]
   [CHILD:CIV:2:0:AS_IS:DEFAULT]
   [DRUNK:CIV:1:0:AS_IS:DEFAULT]
   [STANDARD:CIV:0:0:AS_IS:DEFAULT]

By the way, you'll want to replace CIV with the name your new race'll be going by.

thought it was something like that, thanks!

By the way, anyone know how I can pm MikeMayday?
 I want to try and get his permission to use the recoloured tigers as a base for my new civ gfx.

Here's Mike's homepage. http://mayday.w.staszic.waw.pl/df.php  There's a contact section.

bump for updated first post - final version of mod added to DFFD, may modify tomorrow to add more detail / completely overhaul using new base sprite.

By 'more detail' do you mean an actual Entity and Creature file?

[NewoTigra]

Possibly. I may also upload the new version I just made which actually WORKS.
in other news, I now realise what was wrong with a few other graphics things I have, and am going to spend the next hour or so fixing them 

UPDATE: FFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFUUU....
I tried what I thought fixed these graphics on the other broken ones. They still don't work. And I can't remember exactly what I did.
**** it, I'm going to sleep.
