The latest Phoebus in the starter pack (don't know if its been fixed by now) is missing graphics for the gelder.

[Getdat40]

Thanks, love this graphics pack!

So, are flowers meant to look like this:

Spoiler: Black and white flowers... (click to show/hide)

There is something about the black tiles that does not seem right. Is something wrong with my set up that is causing the lack of colour? For reference, they are meadowsweet flowers, and I have dug in the RAW's for that flower, but have no idea which values I should change to experiment with the colour display.

Did you change the color scheme by any chance? It shouldn't look like that. It'd be best to redownload it to fix it or reinstall it if you are using the starter packs (just the phoebus part).

Thanks for the advice, but...

Did not change the colour scheme. Tried re-downloading the graphics pack and reinstalling it over the file structure in the starter packs, to no avail. This is a literally out of the box problem with either the starter pack or the tileset, and I cant get my head around it. going to try a download of DF without the starter pack in a second and see if I get a difference.

EDIT: Yeah, no difference. A bit of looking around with "k" shows that all other plants, leaves and flowers are displayed correctly - it is only the meadowsweet flowers that are doing the black tile thing. This is not that big a problem, other than the few weeks in summer season where they are literally everywhere.

Can you backup your save file then install the spacefox version and see if it's also having that issue? The meadowsweet versions in the text files of those 2 are the same so I'm wondering if it's a phoebus thing or some other thing causing this issue.

[MonkeyHead]

Running with Spacefox was... interesting. The meadowsweet was represented by a grey tree like symbol - seemingly also lacking in colour. This suggests the problem might lie with how the meadowsweet is defined in the RAW's rather than it being an issue with either graphics pack. The most probable scenario is that they ware meant to be some kind of white/silver.grey flower, but the way that this set renders it causes the black tile issue. Does anyone know how I would go about experimenting with how this plant is displayed by Pheobus tileset?

[LeoCean]

Thanks I noticed the text file for Spacefox was the same as phoebus in that regards (I had relocated that tree, and had meant to move it back, just never did it... Q_Q It involves tedious stuff). I've no idea why meadowsweet isn't working correctly, maybe it has to be reported to Toady because the color scheme for it is the same as the other grasses next to it in the file.

Can you try adding [DISPLAY_COLOR:6:0:0] or something like that to the plant_grasses file in the area that meadowsweet is and delete the current colors it has or just replace the [] it has with # to comment them out. Or if you could upload your save file cause I don't really want to put much work into this....

Or changing the [GRASS_COLORS:2:0:1:2:0:0:6:0:1:6:0:0] to something like [GRASS_COLORS:2:1:2:1:2:1:6:1:6:1:6:1] it doesn't really matter. The thing should have color it makes no sense, if none of what I just suggest works, then only way I could figure it out is with a save file to easily test solutions. I could just easily open up df and embark in a marsh but I'd have to wait till summer and I'm lazzyyyy while waiting for the next version.

[MonkeyHead]

Actually, it turns out its not just meadowsweet. A few different sites seem to all have this issue with some flowers - only some though, which is odd. I am genning a new world at the moment, and if I notice more white/black plant tiles I will identify them, and try fiddling with the RAW's in the manner you suggest and report back.

I'd just like to say, thanks! A lot!

I've stubbornly played with the standard texture for the longest time, and it was never a problem with understanding the symbols. However, it did become boring on the eyes after these past years. I spent a while today looking for DF texture packs that are updated and pleasant to look at (I decided to take the liberty to since I had to update to 24 anyway), and the fact that this has a preinstalled DF with texture pack was pretty awesome to see.

I couldn't bring myself to not express my appreciation for this, so know I do!

Sorry if this is considered an unappreciated bump.

I get this, too, but it appears to be specific types of flowers?  Or maybe I only have one kind of flower on my current embark.

i like the look, the atmosphere this gives and the customizability,
but sadly it doesnt work well with twbt on a 5:4 screen, as it doesnt allow text to stay the font that i selected in the LNP starter.
also the mousecontrol dfhack doesnt work with this.

great, now it seems i can't get it back to spacefox with default menu text.
i hope overriding my gamefolder with the freshly unpacked LNP folder will both preserve my savegames and i only have to do all the settings again.

dear phoebus, the patch is behind the corner. are you gonna be ready for it? shall we await for you to modify it?

There's also Doren's Phoebus graphics, and Fricy's graphics collection if something goes wrong.
