Icons, like ASCII but prettier.

Hand-drawn, like an old-timey sepia map.

Full graphics, like JRPGs with full-on sprites.

Same as the tileset ingame. Forests would use the tree sprite, mountains a rock sprite, etc.

Other. Please post your ideas/examples.

Bug men:


Fly man, moth man, grasshopper man, scoprion man, mantis man, tick man, louse man, thrips man, slug man, mosquito man, jumping spider man, moon snail man, brown recluse spider man and snail man.

They are a bit busy because:

- Insects have lots of appendages.

- They are insect-men, so even more complicated.

- They have clothing/items.

What do you guys think?

PS: The mantis entertainer is trying very hard to make balloon animals, but I think it will end badly.

umbrelladroid, for LNP questions best ask the LNP author. I think you have to manually install TWBT. Either way, you only get a smaller version of the tileset with less features.

If you want everything, use the download I provide.

ah cheers thanks for that..


one question, are you able to use the Soundsense with yours or just vanilla DF sound ??

[Splint]

I'm gonna be a derp and ask which material sets are done for sure, cause I wanna set something up where wood and stoneware are the main building materials.

[Meph]

umbrelladroid: Not sure what you are asking about with soundsense. It's included and should work, but no new sounds are added.

Splint: Stone, Flux, Wood, Fungiwood, Metal, Silver, Gold, Gem, Marble, Obsidian. As well as clay walls/floors and ceramics walls/floors/items. Sadly both clay and ceramics can't be used for furniture in vanilla DF, so I might add that later. (?)

Missing are adamantine (never satisfied with what I come up with), bone, ice and glass. But just so you know, those updates are fully save compatible, so if I were to add adamantine and glass; your already existing fort can easily import the changes.

Beautiful additions, Meph. Especially the Spider Men 

[Grigor]

Beautiful work, Meph, Dwarf Fortress comes to life more than ever!

One issue though: unless I turn of unit sprites, all my dwarfs look horrible. And no matter what I do, some materials look very off. For example, you can't tell what's schist floor and schist wall, it's the same graphics. And some other tiles look entirely different from what they should be.

Also, DFHack gives me a long list of some sort of error messages: "TWTB: no costum building for name BANNER_DECORATED" ... PAINTING 1", "...ALPHABET_A" and so forth...

Have I missed something? Messed something up? I took my old saves and simply pasted them into the save folder after downloading?

[Meph]

Well. Everything looks horrible because you copied your old saves in. Try generating a new world, I promise you, all the issues you mentioned will go away.

You can also try copying everything from the tileset raws into the save raws, but make a Backup first, because it will most likely break. ^^

So... Yeah, you need to start a new fort when using this set.

[Meph]

More!

You guys think that 100+ animal men sprites warrant a new release? ^^ (Just as a note: To finish all of them, I'll have to do almost 1000)

[ZayZe]

Oh jeez. That's a lot of sprites lol 

[Pvt. Pirate]

although i like the joke, can you make the spiderman optional?

[Meph]

although i like the joke, can you make the spiderman optional?

if you supply a more fitting alternative, sure. :-)

[Meph]

And another 60... tree frog man, all snake men and all monkey men.



PS: What do you guys think about decorations for walls or floors?

[Splint]

Sounds interesting. How would you go about implementing it? Two tile workshops with a tile acting as obstruction that blends with whichever material we want?

[Meph]

No, way simpler: Block of custom material.

You build a "Engravers/Decorator's Shop", run the job "Decorate stone block". Use "decorated stone block" to build the walls/floors.

Can be done for any material. I'd just need to decide how many tiles I want to sacrifice for that. They are easy to mass-produce, but I don't want to throw several full tilesets into the mix, just for something so minor.

[Splint]

Ohhhhh, okay. That makes sense.
