I made this because i hated the X's for stairs. so here you go, use if you like. It's just the X, the rest was made by phoebus' tileset generator.

i hope you like it.

Nice this should work well with mifki's override twbt plugin for dfhack. (I'm pretty sure you can override bins, so you should be able to override stairs) I was just saying that someone needs to make one. Though I just added a border around the X for bins and stairs in spacefox and the difference was noticeable (bins had a black tint around it and stairs had a light brown) but woot stairs now.

Do you have on in higher definition? Even one slightly bigger. Hard to redefine that one. It's real nice in this image but I'd like to make it less blurry. I like your new water/glob/sand tiles too.

the water / sand globs are from the phoebus tileset. I can only take credit for the stairs here. I don't have anything in higher definition, though i can supply the psd for this image if you want.

That is an exceptionally crafted miniature staircase, good sir :> Since I've barely messed with tilesets myself it only took me about seven minutes to finally find it, haha ;)

Ah seems like you made that back in 2012, looking at your post history. I'd guess you just took the 2 images of the current stairs and layered one above the other and fiddled with it until you got that end result, still nice.

Neat thanks for doing my work for me, now when I go to override my up/down stairs I don't need to look for stuff :D

Anyways here's another up/down stair.

You can override bins with TwbT as well. I would actually make the 'X' in the tileset look like a cursor/crosshair, and make 2 overrides for up/downstairs and bins.

And maybe an archery target tile. The way it works in mine is the border shows differently for the bins (black border)/archery target (the up/down stairs would look the same if using that tile, with a white border) so it looks pretty nice.

is there a way to make up-down-stairs not look like X while designated?

Ok, here is what I mean:


on the right side is dug out up-down stairway using correct sprite, on the left I designated one to be dug, it's using an X sprite.
