I consider it an essential part of Dwaf Fortress, and can't play without it.

I use it for pretty screenshots, but otherwise don't use it during play.

I only try it occasionally.

I have no idea why I'm even in this thread, I don't use it.

Although there is a shading difference in place if you squint, usually in gaming this shading difference is more accentuated and in DF it may be even more important cause the game has a tendency to be a mess! Please consider this.

Open stonesense/init.txt, change the fog alpha and color to something more extreme.

Looking at the screenshots, I think it would be a good idea to disable the detailed grass sprites by default. It makes the screen to busy and confusing, and I believe people would actually prefer simple grass by default. The sprites should of course stay as an optional feature that people can manually turn on.

Speaking of detailed grass (like the tall wavy stuff, and that jazz.) is there anyway to disable that? and say only allow short grass? leaving the only tallest plant-like sprites being trees,, and shrubs would only be slightly bigger then the short grass?

I can't find a option in the "init.txt" for shorter/plain grass. I'd like to make a nice palace with a inner garden, but the grass in there looks like nobody is cutting it :/

But that's just eyecandy, and it's nice to see for grass outside of fortress (wild)

Grass can be disabled in index.txt, not in init.txt

[Hugo_The_Dwarf]

Ah I see, so just placing a "#" will comment it out?

[Rose]

indeed. All the content folders have an index.txt

A quick little update here.  Dervish has been working on redoing the workshops and I've just finished going through and updating all the xml's and doing the post processing on what he's made so far.  Thought it'd be nice to showcase how it's coming along

Working on it... occasionally, lol.

Haven't been inspired to do the grunt work of ironing out and finishing up everything lately, but within the week I plan to go in, make sure the xml is updated with everything we've got so far, and make a release.

I also got to playing around with ideas of what metal objects should look like, starting with floors and walls.  I went with a kind of 'hammered' looking pattern (for lack of a better word) on the walls.  I also wanted to add some interest to metal floors, so I added a stamped tile pattern, reminds me of the stamped metal tiles that made up the ceiling in Sbisa dining hall at Texas A&M while I was there (don't recall if they kept them when they renovated it, but I think they're still there).

Hope you all excuse the bloody mess around the trade depot, had some elven traders in there and they were just entirely too ugly to keep in the picture.  So naturally the only thing to do was to have them summarily slaughtered 

[therahedwig]

hurr. I guess I'll keep the painted spries for some kind of stonesense grimdark hd...

[khearn]

For metal floors, you could always go with diamondplate. It's pretty much the definitive metal floor pattern.
