Has anyone done it?

How to do it?

[MightyDorf]

Bump; I love how Mayday's military look, and don't like the Phoebus ones (look like power rangers to me). Is it possible to replace one by the other ? How to do it ?

[Meph]

Its possible. Just download the mod, the tilesset and change all the tilenumbers in the raws to those fitting the mayday tileset. Just takes a few hours, maybe 5 or 10 or so, depending how many programs you use for it. Like beyond compare or winmerge. Good luck and have fun.

It takes like 15 minutes actually if you do not count the workshops .

Plant, animal and stone tiles are very easy to change.

[Meph]

It takes 15 minutes if you only have to do vanilla entries AND they are in the same order in the raws ^^ If I could do it in 15 mins for the mod I would have done so long ago...

[Deon]

You just click selected tiles on the tileset and move onto another entry, why would it be long?

I am a big noob about modding and stuff. But If I understand you correctly, have I just to reimplace the initial/undesired lines of text (about phoebus militaria) by the other ones (the mayday version) ? For example, have I to reimplace [RECRUIT:PHOEBUS_D:0:12:AS_IS:DEFAULT] (phoebus) by copy/pasting [RECRUIT:DORFS:0:6:AS_IS:DEFAULT] (mayday) ?

If you're only talking about modding the Dwarf creature graphics, you're on the right track.  You need also to modify

[TILE_PAGE: ]
   [FILE: ]
   [TILE_DIM: : ]
   [PAGE_DIM: : ]

so that they point to the graphics that you want.

MightyDorf: The way you want to do it only works for creature sprites, which are in the graphics folder. There is also the data/art folder, which the tileset. For these changes you have to do what smakemupagus described, go into the raws and change the tile-numbers, mostly for inorganics, plants, vermin and tools.

Yes, the lines I mentionned earlier referred to the df/raws/graphic folder. But it's just the phoebus dwarf military sprite that bothers me (especially the militia commander/captain/elite sprites). I have no prob with the rest.

There is also the data/art folder, which the tileset.

I see it. Is it necessary to import the mayday tilsets into this folder ?

Do you mean I must reimplace, for example in the df/raw/object/inorganic stone layer from masterwork

[STATE_NAME_ADJ:ALL_SOLID:siltstone][DISPLAY_COLOR:7:6:0][TILE:'%']

by the [STATE_NAME_ADJ:ALL_SOLID:siltstone][DISPLAY_COLOR:6:7:0][TILE:28]

... from the df/raw/object/inorganic stone layer of mayday ? Or its solely the number in the [TILE...] that I need to change ? And why repeating the same thing for the plants/vermins/tools, since it's only the militaria sprites that bother me ? (sorry for the silly questions, it really is the first time I try to open the matrix )

Or use raw tile selector and do it 100 times faster.

[Meph]

If its just the creature sprites, you dont need the tileset at all. You just copy the sprites into the graphics folder and replace the old graphics.txt as well. You can fully ignore everything that has to do with data/art, the tileset, the raws and the init, nothing to do there for you.

[Deon]

Yep, but don't forget that if you want a tileset, Raw Tile Selector is the tool you need.
