Can't wait!

[Mike Mayday]

So now that the new version is up, I must say I'm kinda overwhelmed with possibilies, given what Mifki's plugin allows... This is gonna take some time indeed.

[mnjiman]

I tend to use Pheobus's tileset atm, however before his I was using yours. You do have a great tileset and it will be nice to see it working again. I wonder who will win with updating their tile sets first lol

Ok, a preliminary (very basic) release will be ready today, because apparently a lot of the magic will need to be updated and worked out by the respective amazing coders.

I'm looking for feedback on what should be incorporated in the pack (I realize some of these things don't work or cause conflicts right now):

-Rendermax: lighting and occlusion
-Mifki's Text Will Be Text icluding:

• separate icons for objects
• the ability to display large map tiles with small interface tiles

-Meph's objects for TWBT

Tree icons are apparently no longer needed, so there's that. I assume there are thousands of new creatures... again?
What else is there? Please tell me what you need and I'll probably won't do it but at least I'll know I should.

No new animals, but

Spoiler: HFS (click to show/hide)

some more demons and stuff like that

.
Trees are still used in the various maps (world map, quick travel in adventure mode), but I figure with TWBT, we eventually will have separate tilesets for maps and game.
As for other changes:

There are leaves (tile#249, #059-semicolon, and #172-¼), branches/trunks ("wall" and "river" tiles as well as the animaltrap/low mountain symbol #127 and capital 'O' #79). They can all be changed in d_init.txt
#15 or #42 (can't remember) is used for a few more things (armies moving on the quick travel map in adventure mode, and stuff like chestnuts and seed pods on trees), and #5 is used as flower symbol.

#176-178 are also used for falling/fallen leaves and vision cones, and #219-223, #254 and #000 or #255 are used for composite footprint images.
Some more tiles are used for footprints in sneaking mode: from what I remember: [ and %
! is used to indicate a sound source
Otherwise, I think nothing changed in terms of tiles.

Cool! Also PTW.

Mifki is also working on non-square text along with square graphics, (nextgen branch) so if you make a twbt release (god yes!) please keep in mind that the text-only tileset should be rectangle. According to my tests 10x16 is about ideal, 12x16 tileset works reasonably ok and looks best, and 8x16 leaves too much whitespace.

[Mike Mayday]

What a time to be alive...

CLA: thanks!
Looks like I'll need to handle those. I'll play around in adventure mode a bit first, though.

Anyway, the new version is up for grabs. It should WORK (although use /* to go up and down, <> to scroll up and down), though I'll be adding LOTS of new functionality as soon as the coders are done (unless they're done while I'm away). This is just something to let you play.
If there are any HORRIBLE mistakes, please let me know anyway.

Awesome, thanks for having a basic one up so quick.

[XXSockXX]

Wow, that was a lot faster than expected, thanks!

[saltmummy626]

awesome. I learned to play DF on your tile set waaay back, and as a result its got the most recognizable collection of sprites for me. makes the game much more tolerable and easier to play. phoebus and all the other tilesetters do a good job but your set will always be the first I go to. cheers!

[PK1312]

Please integrate Text Will Be Text! I absolutely love this tileset, it's the only one that does it for me, and Text Will be Text will make it even better (and save me a lot of headache trying to configure it myself.)

[Authority2]

I originally started playing on phoebus, but after I switched to yours I liked it much better. It's the best.

[smjjames]

Is it possible to update this to v40_02 by just transferring the graphics files and raws over? I don't think there are any changes to the raws.

Edit: Actually, no wait, I think there might be some.
