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.

Got some directional support for the strange tiletypes that control tracks.  Stonesense should have tracks in the next release

Spoiler: tracks from 4 directions (click to show/hide)

Also works on ramps

Finished up the chalk walls:

Want to fix the xml a little.

I'll probably look at those tracks after that, before continuing on the chalk.

I have something to greatly speed up work on ramp tracks, if you are interested.

[therahedwig]

Always?

It's a 3dsmax file. Give me 16 ramp images that, when rotated and stretched into a floor diamond shape, look like the tracks, and I can make a track ramp sheet instantly with them.

Holy masterwork quality!!! That looks awesome. Loving all these updates going on. And I can bet the minecart track additions will help a bundle, especially where the ramps are concerned, seeing as in-game, they still look like ramps, and loo(k)ing at them is the only other way to tell them apart.

imagine if someone donated 2 million dollars to this project - instead of that horrid waste of code Wasteland 2 is seeming to become.

[Rose]

Always?

Here's a test

[therahedwig]

I think, they'll need a little bit of after-work, to make em look a little more 3d, but I guess I should first make the tiles

[Rose]

I could lovingly craft each one, but that'd take forever.

[therahedwig]

Yeah, but I'll take care of that

[Rose]

Hm, that might not be necessary. I'm trying something out.

dwarf sprite updates:

Spoiler (click to show/hide)

I finished the missing foreign items, and added texture to the chain armors. 

The dwarves are wearing all-new armor which I redrew over the past few days, because the original stuff kinda sucked a lot. 

I also finally got multiple items of the same type sorted out, at least partially.  Right now it draws the right and left gloves/shoes as different colors if you're wearing multiples of those items, but it doesn't really understand which is the left and which is the right one, only that there are multiples, but that gets the idea across for the most part.  Humans have left/right equipment sprites as well.

Was quite a lot of work, but things are looking much cleaner now.  I'm ready to move on to backpacks, waterskins, meat cleavers, and jewelery now, and the sprite sheets are set up to handle it.
