Sorry, I'm an idiot. I just realized I can just uninstall DFHack and just use the truetype feature that comes with vanilla or just F12 in game!! That easy! It's not perfect, but I don't have to deal with huge clipped text now in my game.

[lethosor]

I'd suggest changing the PRINT_MODE setting (either in data/init/init.txt or a launcher if you're using one) as a faster alternative to uninstalling DFHack, but glad to hear that bypassing TWBT works for you either way.

How to make bone, skin, clavs and other overrides? For some reason, using ANY just can't work.

ANY isn't a valid ID and TWBT will ignore it, otherwise crashes occur like what used to happen in Meph's tileset.

Is there any way to get ID and type and material of any item in-game?

there might be other ways, but check the dfhack 'probe' command.

Did it.

Hi thurin, I notice you have some open PRs on your twbt fork (https://github.com/thurin/df-twbt/pulls) -- would you be willing to merge them?

Thanks for the heads up.  Taking a look.

A quick sanity check, since I havent been on forums for a looong time.

It's still impossible to have different graphics for different castes, while assigning different ASCII symbols is totally fine, correct?

I remember reading about why this happened about five or so years ago. I can't remember why, though, and I can't find the post.



What causes this when TWBT is activated?

Nevermind... I just referenced what was going on in Jecobus_10x16.png.

The black screen bug on the main map with TWBT when exiting some menus such as Status (z) or Stockpile settings (s) seems to have been around for years, especially when calculation FPS dips down to or below graphics FPS.

This is the autohotkey script I use to deal with it. It basically sends "F12" a short time after you press ESC (1/10 of a sec), which forces a redraw of the main window just after the game exits the menu.

;---begin code---

#UseHook
#MaxHotkeysPerInterval 200

~Esc::
sleep, 100
Send {F12}
return

;---end code---

Has anyone found an updated way to handle this? This solution works but I'd rather not have to use a 3rd party program. I love my multi lvl ASCII 47.05 but this black screen issue is driving me nuts. Doesn't happn with TWBT_Legacy but, that cause some other issues for me.

From what I remember, GFPS actually can't drop below FPS, due to how they are synchronized (although the number displayed in the FPS counter is calculated differently and smoothed, so you might sometimes see cases where GFPS is 1 above FPS, for instance).

Anyway, it's good to know that low FPS could be a cause of this. I think a more robust fix would be to detect viewscreen changes with an onStateChange event handler (watching for SC_VIEWSCREEN_CHANGED), because it wouldn't require changing keybindings or using external utilities. Something like this might work, if I'm understanding the issue correctly (it assumes the issue occurs when switching back to the fortress mode screen):

Code: [Select]

dfhack.onStateChange.twbt_rerender = function(event)
    if event == SC_VIEWSCREEN_CHANGED and df.viewscreen_dwarfmodest:is_instance(dfhack.gui.getCurViewscreen()) then
        dfhack.timeout(5, 'frames', function()
            dfhack.screen.zoom(df.zoom_commands.zoom_resetgrid)
        end)
    end
end


@lethosor: It is not. I'd have to decide about git one way or another (mainly dithering which name I'd want people to see it under), but that's (basically) why. There's neat xkcd comic about this

I would honestly suggest making a fork of TWBT, then (if you haven't yet) making a new branch off of the right commit and applying your changes there. GitHub has decent support for working with changes from multiple forks, which would make it easier for it to be merged upstream eventually, if desired.

I don't know the status of TWBT
I do know this script works perfectly. Thank you lethosor

Copy the script lethosor wrote above into a lua file, I called it install-twbt-refresh.lua
Save to hack\scripts\install-twbt-refresh.lua
Open dfhack-config\init\onMapLoad.init
Add one line at the bottom

Code: [Select]

install-twbt-refresh
exit & save
