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.

Stonesense doesn't save any state information between times you load up DF, so the time you maximized it and it "flipped out" can't be the root cause. 

If it was working properly before this, as your post indicates, then something must have changed to make it not work.  Try making a clean install of DF and DFHack in another folder, and see if that's working.  If the fresh version doesn't work, then you have a problem with your system - possibly an OS update or driver update broke something; try to make sure your operating system and video drivers are all updated. 

If the fresh version DOES work, then it is a problem with DF or DFHack or Stonesense.  Try generating a new world and viewing a fort there in Stonesense.  If the new fort doesn't load, then it is a Stonesense/DFHack problem, and you should probably just try reinstalling DFHack (or at least replacing stonesense/init.txt and deleting all the log files). 

If the new fort DOES load, then it is likely that your current fort just got old enough to fill memory to the point where there's nowhere left for Stonesense to live.  You can try viewing the memory footprint of DF (on windows that'll be in the task manager under the memory heading), since when DF swells to around 1.6Gb of memory, Stonesense can't load anymore because there's nowhere to put the images in memory.  All you can do in this case is try to trim the largest images (probably the large creature sprites) out of your load order, and optionally try running some of the DFHack stuff to clean stuff out of your map (like cleanspatter and autodump-destroy). 

If none of that helps then I dunno.

Got baseline humans in.  Still don't have weapons or armor, and they don't have any hair yet, but clothes are almost completely done (I think I still have veils to do).

Main objective here was to make sure they didn't look like elves, and I think that's a success. 

Japa also has patterns working, so I need to see about getting colored eyes working.  Couple ideas on that.  The human template is also planned to be used by the various animal-persons whenever I get to working on those.

They're all so piratey! What are they wearing on their heads?

It seems to be a problem with DF memory swelling. With the fort loaded I'm at 1.7 gb memory. I guess I can't use stonesense then, oh well.

My first thought was: "did they get facial features displayed already?" then I realized there were only 2 types of faces, one for men one for women.

By the way the men face reminded me of popeye... 


Edit: wait a minute... there's a third type of face... are you guys messing around with displaying facial features?
Edit 2: popeye the sailor man, popeye the sailor man, argh!!!

I think that 3rd face is just a dwarven adventurer.

[Rose]

yeah. due to size restrictions, everybody is the same height

[thepodger]

Them's some purty humans.

I'd just like to mention that I found a workaround to get stonesense working again by applying the large address aware tag to the DF executable. So no more crashes and I can use stonesense again which is nice.

[Caldfir]

Got some basic hair working, and finished up the missing headwear.  Here's a sample:

Next up is armor.

Those mustaches.

Magnificent.

And I see the phantom of the operah there.

Wrong hair color and has facial hair. Though, could be disguise. The chin seems about right...

I finally finished these... after two years. The metamorphic ramps.

They were the big thing that was holding a Grim Dark 0.3 release back. I'm handig these over to Caldfir, because he was restructuring the xml.

I also set up a tumblr, where I'll post screens and progress, and there's a taks list there that's hardwired to the tasklist in my thunderbird, so that updates live.

I was wondering why those just showed up in the Stonesense Dropbox. Those are looking great!

And the same goes for the humans,  of course. Love the Domino Mask.
