Hey, I've been using Mayday's graphics set for a few years. I decided to replay Dwarf Fortress again for the first time in about 6 years. I figured out about TWBT recently, and I've been trying to fix a few graphical issues with Mayday's that have always bugged me. I'm working on things like wooden doors, wooden hatches, bookcases, minecarts, and tracks.
I've gotten a lot of these changed to the tiles and colors I want. However, I'm having trouble with tiles that are intended to use inverted colors. Inverted objects can have their colors fixed so they're no longer inverted, but there seems to be a few things you can't change.
These include:
- The placeholder image when a building is under construction. I can't differentiate this from a completed building, so they currently look the same.
- The selection highlight for buildings that have had their colors overwritten.
- For objects that aren't in the raws (such as doors), I can't change the image of the object being carried on its way to being constructed. I figured out this was an ACTIVITY_ZONE, but I can't specify building types or materials, so that I can choose the right tiles and colors.
- Similarly, the previous issue applies to items on a pedestal
Am I right that these are all issues I won't be able to fix, because they are hardcoded in?
Here is some of my overrides.txt:
