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.

I tested lignite and chalk. It works fine in 2.4.

Fixed all reported issues.
Updated to 44.09.

And since I can't just leave it alone, I had to try out a new thing, that I haven't seen any were else:



Smoothed and engraved walls now show the minerals/gems that are ingrained in the wall. To the very right you see the engraved version.

Microncline cluster:


Cool? Or too colorful?

awesome! I hope i can just update the savegame from the linuxLNP with your new pack and keep playing.

I think it's a really cool idea, if a little busy. I feel the dark walls clash a bit, but that's from the bias of someone who likes the walls being colored based on what they are made of. I know some would rather have all walls uniform.

A middle ground might be nicer. Include the nice detailing, but still have the wall change color with the material. I expect you will get conflicting opinions on that though, for the aforementioned biases.

I absolutely love it. Specifically because the walls themselves don't change color, only the detailing.

I made several polls and most people like their fortresses to be more uniform in color. That's why all the walls default to one color, more or less.

Dwarves are now literate. 



26 new decorational workshop: The Alphabet. Only takes up one spot in the workshop menu, and the hotkeys are the letters you want to write. "Build 'Writing'" => "Write 'A' - a". Pretty simple.

It uses the beautiful letters from monkeyfritz brand new Stained Glass set. Check it out.

I understand correctly? Now the walls will always be generally gray, but with colored veins inside.
If so, then I really like it because the fort in one style is much more pleasant for perception. But then need to do something similar with tiles of floor

[Rose]

Floor no longer keeps the vein material in any case, so I'm not sure that's possible.

I tested lignite and chalk. It works fine in 2.4.

I downloaded a fresh copy (http://dffd.bay12games.com/file.php?id=13407), created a game without changing anything, and am still getting the Chalk and Lignite problem.

Also, TWBT throws an error on startup:
TWBT: invalid override specification OVERRIDE:240:B:UNK_V42_2:Bookcase::_MDF_overrides_1:246

I didn't see another option for getting just the 2.4 graphics, either; the "standalones" are all 2.3.

That's a really cool addition. I've never really liked the 'notes' system as it is, this is much more adaptive.

You can't possibly have the current version, if you have a "B:UNK_V42_2" line in your overrides. That one is commented out in the current version.

Anyway, I just uploaded the new stuff, so maybe give it a go. And delete any old versions you might have.

Yes, walls will mostly be gray. Only mineral, ore and gem walls will have this feature. So marble walls are still whiteish, granite light gray, gabbro dark gray... I can in theorie standardize all walls to one "gray", and just leave the color in the rock you see.

Lets see how people like it, and if they do like it, I can make this for all rocks.

Floors... doesn't work. For multiple reasons, Japa mentioned one; the other one is a TWBT bug with creatures using transparency on top of overrides tiles... a bit complicated. Suffice to say that I don't use overrides at all for floors, grass, bridges... anything where people can walk on.

Update!

Thanks to a completely free day due to bad weather, I present to you the following:

 - Updated to DF 44.09.
 - Fixed food icons.

 - Added all decorational buildings to humans, elves, kobolds and goblins.
 - Fixed giant hoary marmot sprites and giant peregrine falcon sprites.
 - Fixed wooden-door item sprite.
 - Fixed plant overrides for picked-plant items. Thanks PrudentDwarves for the heads up.
 - Removed the "MacroFantastic" portion of Taffers Revised mod; which also fixes the sprites for all tools.
 - Updated Vordaks dwarf sprites.
 - Increased cavern openess in the extra worldgen sets.
 - Added 65 new creature sprites. A few missing in temperate_new, then mostly zombies.

New feature: Gems, ores and minerals show through smoothed and engraved walls.



New feature: Dwarves can write letters using 1-tile workshops.



Special thanks to Monkeyfritz and his beautiful gothic/stained glass font from the Stained Glass set. Check it out.

Nevertheless I will make a proposal. Just an idea for experiments.
Walls have two rims - outer rim could be left gray, and color of the inner rim change.

[Meph]

I think that's a good idea.
