I'm asking a question.. but I know the answer  Although, I just want to be sure... Because this is a bit silly to have this constraint.

I'm using Mayday Graphic tileset, which is excellent. But some symbols seem (well, are) used for several things. Big example is the Uppercase O ... Used for column and pillars too... So Mayday had to choose and decided that the O would show as a pillar, so that the pillars don't appears as an O.

And my question is ...

Does any possibility exist to have a 1:1 mapping, a catalog indicating that object x uses tile x, so prevent that?

I could edit the tileset but if there is nowhere the possibility to change this mapping, to say that object 234 should use tile 128 e.g, then this won't work... but there must be a way... without recompiling the EXE I mean!

Your right, you know the answer already. Sorry.

sad... Just found that in DFG21, graphics_mayday.txt

[OBJECT:GRAPHICS]

[TILE_PAGE:DORFS]
   [FILE:mayday/dorfsMAYDAY.png]
   [TILE_DIM:16:16]
   [PAGE_DIM:12:27]


[CREATURE_GRAPHICS:DWARF]

   [trADER:DORFS:3:1:AS_IS:DEFAULT]
   [trAPPER:DORFS:5:21:AS_IS:DEFAULT]

   [DEFAULT:DORFS:0:0:ADD_COLOR]
   [STANDARD:DORFS:1:0:AS_IS:DEFAULT]
   [CHILD:DORFS:2:0:AS_IS:DEFAULT]
   [BABY:DORFS:3:0:AS_IS:DEFAULT]

So there is a mapping of sort... but objects are not listed... Can it be possible to remap them to others icons and redo the letters so they do appears as letters? Something like

   [PILLAR:DORFS:3:0:AS_IS:DEFAULT]

which would allow me to point the pillar object to another icon, so I could redo the O into its correct shape?

I'm sure there is a catalog somewhere... This would be a gross error from the developer (praise to him, this is not disparaging, just that ... every humans make errors   ) to have hardwired some objects to some icons.

Currently only creatures can be "mapped" this way. There's no full graphical support and there won't be for at least a few years. It's not a goal of Toady to make DF fully non-ASCII for now.

Oooh crap.
