I'm patching together my graphics set, and I've got a couple quick questions:

First, does changing the order in which I define graphics mess anything up?
Like, if I cluster all the fish together, or order everything alphabetically?
Also, is there any problem with me using just one .txt file for all the animal graphics?

Second, I've noticed in other people's graphics sets, every once in a while there's a
graphics definition that is surrounded by (()) instead of by [].
I assumed that this was just a way of commenting out that entry.
Is this correct? Why is that done?

Thanks!

1. Nope!
2. You can use more than one??
3. Some people create the graphics and then decide they'd rather not use them? I've had this with "local leader" in the previous version of DF.

Awesome! Thanks!

That's exactly what I wanted to hear!

You can use as many as you want. It makes me easier to organize things. I.e. I use graphics_creature_animal.txt, graphics_creature_civ.txt, graphics_creature_beast.txt, graphics_creature_megabeast.txt etc.

I am a bit surprised that so popular and cool man in graphics like you didn't know it .

Also, is there any problem with me using just one .txt file for all the animal graphics?

With time it becomes too big for my taste so I like not to keep all eggs in one basket.

Seriously, I'm surprised myself! My popularity and coolness are in danger!
