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

119 (18.4%)

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

211 (32.7%)

I only try it occasionally.

174 (27%)

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

I'll try to research this some more. Thank you.

I had to post this, the waterfalls made me do it...

I couldn't imagine that just scaling them up would work that good. Sadly it has old trees.

Would you be willing to post this on my !!Feng Dwarfy!! thread? This looks amazing

----Story of how I came to use Stonesense(skip)----
I figure: Why not sense some stone and look at my fortress that way? I install dfhack, easy enough, on windows, overwrite the slld file but I was probably meant to do that, it came with it after all.
I kept an un-dfhacked folder of Dwarf Fortress because what if I want to play un-dfhacked? I delete the dfhacked save folder and try to get both versions to use the same folder which I fail  as I'm unninitated in such dark arts(I would be vaguely intrested in initiation though) and a simple shortcut will not cut it no matter how short it may be.
I restore the save folder and decide to mess in the arena a little bit to get dwarf fortress to recheck for the saves.
----Details of diagnsticing the bug----
I look around the arena with stonesense. I make some aadvarks, have them kill each other and add a necromancer. I unpause, Dwarf Fortress stops working and the computer gives a button to close the program which I click.
I repeat, dead aadvarks, necromancer aadvark, unpausing, Dwarf Fortress has stoped working,..
I repeat yet again but without opening stonesense. The aadark zombies dispatch the aadvark necromancer surely enough. I have dfhack brig up stonesense once more and Dwarf Fortress stops working.
----The Bug----
Issue: Stonesense(and the attached entourage) refuses to work in the presence of aadvark zombies(in arena mode at the least).

Hello,

I am kind of a new player to DF, with only a few weeks logged playing time with the newb lazy pack. I've been updating as the pack gets updated, and recently added stonesense to my game with 40.19 r2. However, I've got a problem with stonesense, and I'm not sure how to troubleshoot it yet.

I noticed that whenever I activate stonesense, it's only a matter of (brief) time before my entire computer comes to a grinding halt. And I do mean grinding, with whatever sound is playing suddenly starts dadadadadadadada..... and the computer freezes solid. All I can do is hard reset the puter. Without activating stonesense, I can run DF all day without any problem (and I have! God, this game should be checked by the FDA for illegal addictive substances :\ ). 

I've tried a little searching for this problem, but I haven't come across anything definitive.  So I turn to you, the experienced community. What can I do and try to get stonesense? What information can I give you to help me?

Thank you!

Try changing [PRINT_MODE:...] to [PRINT_MODE:2D] in <DF>/data/init/init.txt.
Also, which pack and platform are you using?

I'm using Phoebus as the tileset on Windows 7 64-bit. But I thought stonesense has it's own graphic pack, unrelated to my DF tileset?
Oh, and I wasn't using the overlay feature, just side-by-side windowed instances of DF and stonesense.

I'll try that print mode change.  Isn't that an option you can choose from the lazy pack launcher? Under the graphics tab, I can choose Print Mode: TWBT, 2D, Standard. Right now, it's set to TWBT.

By the way, is this the right thread to be asking for help with stonesense? The title of the thread doesn't intuitively suggest it, so I'm wondering...

I was asking which "newb lazy pack" you're using - since you're on Windows, I'm guessing you're using PeridexisErrant's. I've seen problems similar to yours when using PRINT_MODE:STANDARD, which I think are due to Stonesense and DF using OpenGL at the same time (the latter can be disabled by switching to PRINT_MODE:2D).
As far as I know, this is the official Stonesense thread.

[mrmistophelees]

aha! I see~~  Yes I am using PeridexisErrant's pack. I will try your suggestion and see how it runs. Thank you!

[Envite]

I have an issue (running ssense in a virtual machine, on Linux, accessed via ssh -X ) in that it shows me only a cyan screen. Nothing more. No error messages, nothing.

Your vm probably doesn't have hardware acceleration.

FYI, the game interprets any nonstandard printmode value as if it was STANDARD.  So when using the player specifies TWBT mode, the game is operating in STANDARD mode (with a good chunk of the rendering intercepted by the TWBT plugin).

This might be a silly question, but after reading keybinds.txt and init.txt, I couldn't find the solution:

How do I get stonesense to render all z-levels I should see from the height the "camera" is at?

What I currently have is:

at a certain z-level, but if I go up just one, I get this:

[PeridexisErrant]

init.txt; L#18; "[SEGMENTSIZE_Z:4]" -> insert larger number than 4

keybinds.txt; L#58&59:  "[DECR_Z:KEYS_PGDN:KEY_9]\n[INCR_Z:KEYS_PGUP:KEY_0]" -> use to change z-dimension.

[Propman]

Huh. I've been attempting to try my hand in inserting sprites in anticipiation of the mod I've been working on, starting with an uncoloured profession tileset, but have since proved unsuccessful in getting it to load into the viewer. I first used the elf XML as a basis, and then the wild animal sheet when that didn't work.

Anything major I'm missing out on? I attempted to delete the pointers to noble professions (assuming they're not supported), but that didn't seem to have an effect.
