okei tnx for the tip, because the description still says it can be used to chop trees thanks to its craftmanship.

[lethosor]

Which description are you looking at? It sounds a lot like this, which is a DFHack script that apparently has an outdated description (i.e. not a DF bug).

Edit: fixed that script

I assume the new season thing you've been working on is going to be included, along with the new tileset changes? I haven't updated sinve version 1.16, as I didn't feel like the texture pack was comprehensive enough to warrant changing from the Phoebus texture pack. but its looks like its been polished enough to give it a try come the next update, I wasn't keen on the dark red autumn/fall season colouration but they rest looks lovely.

The tileset is surprisingly a lot more work than I anticipated. I made one long ago once, but that was before TWBT. 256 tiles.

Now it's 256, plus all plants, with several tiles each, plus all creatures, plus all items, plus all other overrides TWBT offers, and dfhack, color schemes, scripts... the idea with the procedual demons/titans/FBs... the multi-tile trees... argh. I can even do up to 256 custom corpses. An entire, full tileset just for corpses. ^^

Never before has anyone been this excited to have over 200 corpses.

I love your project *w* it continues like this, it has a great pint Meph

It was similar to that, the description when viewing the item through the stocks menu.

Something else that has been troubling is the colours. For some reason either when i resume the game after the embarkation and zoom in or out  the colour scheme changes to a very bright one. I need to delete my region and current folders for it to stop  and the original colour schemes to retun even if i change tileset+colours and restart the client.

any ideas?

Yes. Its the seasonal color from the new update.

From the release thread I made today:

Thanks to Milo Christiansens season-palette script, the colors (hue) ingame will change depending on the current season. You can disable this feature by opening the dfhack.init and deleting the line "season-palette start" at the very top.

I thought it was a bug because it seemed to coincide with my pressing of the buttons. tnx for the tip il go check it out.

*Squee cant wait for the necromancers , but suppose id prefer a 64-bit update first rather than adding news races...

Thats not up to me. I can release a 64-bit version tomorrow, the raw changes are minimal... its Dwarf Therapist and dfhack that have problems with it, not the modders.

I see...well, soon after joining the community i started to pick up trends of DFhack and DFhack dependent mod often being a version behind vanilla release, guess ill have to pick between modded game or latest version hmm...i will have take time to consider the weight of each options. Thank you for the info.

I hope you guys are not bored with graphics yet, because I'm still working on those...

Spoiler: From the tileset thread... (click to show/hide)

Birds....





I'm aware that the bird-men dont look that great... I used one body-template for them, just changed the head and the color scheme. It mostly works, but owls, emo/ostrich/cassowary, kiwis... the weird bird body types look weird.

I used the same body type, so that I may copy+paste weapons/armor above it, in case I want to expand it and give the intelligent creatures profession sprites too... fort mode visitors, mercenaries, adv-mode and all that.

Criticize away!



Edit: I tested the idea of a bird-men civilization... it does work. Wouldnt be much harder to enable all bird-men to have full profession, miliatry and visitor sprites. Like this:

Red-Winged Blackbird civ


I gave them a loincloth, so that there is some clothing that I can recolor for the different professions. Only thing thats missing is armor and a different look for recruit-skill vs. master-skill soldiers; and some of the nobles are duplicates, like the diplomat/administrator or trader/merchant...

Filesize is 187kb, not too bad. One of those for all animal-men, means ~196*187kb= 36.6mb ... mh...
