The reason bone overrides don't work is that TWBT makes mat_info from item mat_type and index for item-material matching. The difference is also important for eggs, fish and raw fish, iirc. And remains, as pointed out.

You can see what materials it outputs for things with this line:

Code: [Select]

:lua ~dfhack.matinfo.decode(dfhack.gui.getSelectedItem():getMaterial(), dfhack.gui.getSelectedItem():getMaterialIndex())
Looks like linked Meph's overrides.txt only overrides fresh and rotten meat?

As for skulls, I was thinking of (sentient) dwarf/goblin skulls, not chicken skulls. The link should have taken to Line 47; the disabling bit is bad_item_flags.bits.dead_dwarf = true;

That's for that command - it should help a lot.

Interestingly, when checking corpseparts, it doesn't return anything, but also doesn't give an error. It just gives the new line back.  That would explain why the individual overrides aren't working and possibly why the BONE material flag isn't, but I'm not sure what to make of it being completely blank

EDIT:
Thought: Is there anything you can put in a material template raw to change the tile of that when used as a corpse part? I'm editing raws anyway, so that is on the table.

Also, is there anything I can put in the override file to suppress errors related to bad materials?  My override file currently contains overrides for forgotten beasts and night creatures, when, depending on your world, might not have the associated organs, causing an error, so I'd like to be able to suppress those error when releasing it.

I've ended up with another weird override giving me trouble I can't figure out.

I'm trying to override tracks, and due to weirdness with them displaying, I am trying to specify the color per material.  However, overrides like the following keeps giving me "TWBT: invalid new fg track", even though track is in the tileset position:
[OVERRIDE:30:T:MineralRampTrackEW:track:88:6:7::INORGANIC:PUDDINGSTONE]

Your override looks good to me. Are your rails still inverted in d_init? Maybe it doesn't like that?

[Rydel]

Not only was that my issue, but removing the inverted colors fixed the initial issue I was trying to work around

[Rydel]

This is probably a bit off a stretch, but is there any way to override the status effect icons, like ! for possessed vs ! for insane or ↓ for thirsty vs ↓ for unhappy?

To be clear, I'm not just referring to editing the normal tileset, I'd like to, for instance, use completely different images for moods vs insanity.

[jecowa]

I'm guessing not, since Meph doesn't use overrides for them and uses valuable space on the main tilesheet for them. Also the tilesets wiki page doesn't indicate that they can be changed through non-TWBT means either.

[Fleeting Frames]

Yeah, not possible. At best you could override the all instances of those tiles on walkable terrain - but that doesn't allow you to differ them. Plus it's hard to get any extra usable space from main tileset with measures like that.

You could distinguish stuff like thirsty vs unhappy via tilesets tricks, i.e. using red/blue/magneta colourcoding for setting pixels for thirst/unhappiness/both, but that doesn't work in general.

Has someone ever achieved something like that? It seems much more difficult than the inverted tile trick. Too many colors are used, and the quality of the effect would depend on the palette. For the downward arrow, you have: brown (red+green) → hungry, blue → thirsty, gray (all colors) → drowsy, red → stressed, yellow (red+green again) → distracted. Exclamation mark is even worse with all the moods, breakdown, madness, …

As far as I'm aware, only with magma vs water (I and Vettlingr have tried it, I think Meph too?).

Even with just designation vs depot vs blood-coated wall tiles, I ran into the issue where it designations were brown (albeit green designations looked pretty neat too) so they'd pick up unacceptably much from shared colour. Ended up with a dithered magneta-green that translates roughly as off-white when white is used but darker than than white square with red.

It's pretty hard to make it work beyond three of red/green/blue.

I also found that unlimiting my GFPS (by setting it to 0 in LNP) caused the issue to go away entirely.

[Zlove89]

Is there a way to get this to work with the newest DFhack? I really want to use the new features with Meph's tileset

How to make vermins overrides?

[Freak2121]

I have a bit of a noob question. I'm trying to adapt the Bitlands tileset to work with proper transparencies. It works well for the most part, except for these strange outlines with items stored in stockpiles or placed on smooth floors.

Spoiler (click to show/hide)

Is this a known issue and is there a solution to it?

Edit 1: Silly me, some of the tiles in the font and map sets have outlines.
