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

I'm checking with Dervish on whether I can release the current state of this including his sprites I've used.  In the mean time, smooth stone floors and floor grates are done:

I'm actually going to eventually revisit the smooth floors to tile them a bit better, but they are quite passable for now.

[Dervish]

Yeah definitely. I've been preoccupied, but I'll find some time to get more stuff done.

Hmm how much time until a new build with the new sprites?

[Baleur]

Will this work with the new update?

They can be downloaded from the Dwarf Fortress File Depot for now.  To install all you have to do is unzip the file into your stonesense folder.  Just remember it's a work in progress and only part of the sprites are HD, so you will have a mix of HD and the standard sprites, and of course keep your computer specs in mind when deciding to use the larger sprites or not.  If in doubt, backup your stonesense folder and if you have slowdowns, just switch back to the old sprites  .

A little more progress.  For veins and gem clusters I wanted to do something similar to how they are handled in the DarkTundra tile set included with stonesense (you have to uncomment it's line in the Stonesense/terrains index.txt to enable it) where instead of changing the whole tile's color, an overlay the color of the vein/gems is used.  I started working on veins today as you can see above.  A few pics from further out.

The only potential issue is where the color of the layer stone and the vein are fairly close to each other, but it's still noticeable and clear enough I think.

Besides that I've also refined the outline around the new HD walls so it's not giant and pixelated compared to the walls, and also have started working on the other basic wall types, starting with sand, but haven't gotten something I'm entirely happy with yet.

I can't see lava/magma in Ssense, but other then that using the HD stuff... I am captivated.

[EmeraldWind]

Man, I really love seeing all the new graphics that have started appearing for this. They are awesome.

To you guys who are rapidly improving this tool, I say THANKS!

I fixed that shortly after putting the files up originally, Just redownload it.  Same for anyone else with that issue.

Those veins look sweet. Makes me want to grab a pick and start digging.

[chrisadams3997]

Been working more on the different soil types, you can see the current state of the 'loam' type soils in one of the pictures below, and I've been making a subsprite for gems.

Those fish should never change.
