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.

Dabbled a bit in photoshop to get back into it.



Lets welcome the mothman, tickman, louseman, thripsman, slugman, mosquito man, cave spiderman, brown recluse spiderman, snailman, grasshopperman and moonsnailman.

[PhenomTaker]

awesome!

[NullForceOmega]

I approve whole-heartedly with your excellent Spider-man joke, but deduct points for your failure to make an equivalent The Tick and Mothman jokes.

[Meph]

Another ten: Dragonfly, Dragonflyman, Grasshopper, Mantis, Platypusman, Stoatman, Lynxman, Antman, Flying Squirrelman, Giant Olm, Olmman.

Wonderful work! Good to have you back, Meph.

Hey, Meph! Really liking your set here.

Off the wall thought, though - transparent stockpiles? Not completely, but enough to see under.

I have no idea if this is even possible/worth the effort but it'd be kind of neat to see your floor tiles under the stockpile. Or perhaps the middle taken out of the stockpile tile, leaving a grid pattern over the floor tiles.

Just a curiosity, thought I'd ask a much more talented artist than I.
   
Thanks!

That's a good idea. I don't think it can do partial-transparency, but TWBT-Next (Text Will Be Text multi-layer rendering) might be able to let you get a checkerboard effect (so that half the pixels are completely transparent and the other half are completely opaque) if Mifki is able to add the stockpile as one of the supported items. I believe he has to add support for each item one-at-a-time, so not everything supports TWBT-Next yet.

hmm STOCKPILE:Stockpile is already in TWBT, it should already be switching the tile.... as far as transparent, I've switched tiles in shops and etc to a transparent tile... it generally doesn't show the floor... it shows the next floor below it, as if the floor is missing... If there is a wall beneath the tile, it just shows the top of the wall, or whatever else is down there.

[Meph]

Stockpiles are not workshops though, so that way doesn't work. TWBT-Next seems to be the only way.

Finished another 10 creatures.



Capybara, Capybaraman, Nautilusman, Orca, Orcaman, Octopusman, Crabman, Spongeman (ripped from a GBA game), Leopard seal, Cuttlefishman and Cuttlefish.

Edit: Make it 20.



Walrus, Leopard Sealman, Harp Sealman, Harp Seal, Elephant Sealman, Badgerman, Mooseman, Buzzard, Horseshoe Crab, Horseshoe Crabman, Sperm Whaleman.

[Meph]

UPDATE!

<<< ☼Download☼ - V1.5 for DF 43.05 - WINDOWS >>>

Four important additions.

1. 40+ new creature sprites. Please excuse the Cave Spider Man and the Sponge Man.


Mothman, Tickman, Louseman, Thripsman, Slugman, Mosquito man, Cave spiderman, Brown recluse spiderman, Snailman, Grasshopperman and Moonsnailman.


Dragonfly, Dragonflyman, Grasshopper, Mantis, Platypusman, Stoatman, Lynxman, Antman, Flying Squirrelman, Giant Olm, Olmman.


Capybara, Capybaraman, Nautilusman, Orca, Orcaman, Octopusman, Crabman, Spongeman (ripped from a GBA game), Leopard seal, Cuttlefishman and Cuttlefish.


Walrus, Leopard Sealman, Harp Sealman, Harp Seal, Elephant Sealman, Badgerman, Mooseman, Buzzard, Horseshoe Crab, Horseshoe Crabman, Sperm Whaleman.

2. Upgrade to DF version 43.05, aka 64bit support.

3. Far less noise. Walls, floors, grass, pebbles and rocks are more seamless and less intrusive. No hard borders either, grass and pebbles now blend into each other.





4. ENGRAVINGS! Engraving walls and floors now shows runes/script on them. Somehow I never got around to add this before.

Special thanks to Thundercraft, who made a 43.05 update while I was away and found a few issues, like the missing build-labor for the soap-maker workshop and a wrong value on nest-boxes, as well as more agile kobolds and less stupid gorlaks. Those fixes have been incorporated in this upload.

Next: I'll have a look at DF 44.02 and TWBT for it... and the remaining creature sprites. Of 780 animals, I have about 680 done now... 100 to go.

[Hylum]

Nice to see you back Meph! The new tiles look awesome! Cant wait to play with them!

[Meph]

Oh... I like Twbt-Next.

[Sanctume]

I installed <<< ☼Download☼ - V1.5 for DF 43.05 - WINDOWS >>>

I gen a world, started a fort, pause and save. 

Upon continue, I get this error

[Meph]

The file is certainly here. Not sure how you got that error. I downloaded it and checked.

Edit: I know what I'm doing next... corpses.

Twbt allows overrides for these, which is great. I can't do one for each creature (max overrides per item type are 256), but I want to do one for each type of creature.

I got those so far: Misc, Humanoid, Snake, small mammal, lizard, bird, small humanoid, canine, ursine, dwarf (done by Obsidian Soul), feline and fish. Not sure how to do corpses of insects... anything I missed? I want to be pretty sure before I start assigning 767 creature tiles.

[jecowa]

Those look great! Maybe a yellowish-green bug splatter for insects.
