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 wouldn't change any values on the bone material. It will be cheap, early to make, and crappy. It should be ok-ish for armors, great for shields, horrid for edged weapons and almost as horrid for blunt weapons. ^^

But Vordak made all the weapon and trap sprites, so I might as well give them some use.

Differences between Flask, Waterskin and Vial; as well as Mug, Goblet and Cup:

It should be ok-ish for armors

Not according to vanilla. Has about the same durability as wood and leather - that is, virtually none, even against like fists and teeth.

[Meph]

In my book that's ok. After all, leather armor is a thing; just like elves that attack with wooden armors.

Edit: Wooden bridges...



Edit2: Constructed, material-specific ramps. Obviously super basic, but at least they will fit visually both to the floor around them, and to the normal, natural ramps.

[Pvt. Pirate]

i like those ramps. don't make them too special. the arrows are a necessity.

as the latest version is a tantrum-spiral-prone thing and i still cannot get mousequery edge to work properly, i ask this:
what does it take to make this backwardscompatible with version 44.09r01? (for copying it into the linux LNP version )

[Meph]

No idea about linux, mousequery (I don't even know what it does, or what doesnt work with it now)...

For 44.09 you can just copy everything over (graphics, raws, etc), but I dont know if the twbt version for 44.09 allows specific materials sprites and variety.

what would be the worst that could happen if TWBT didn't support it? CTD? or merely just loading the unspecific sprites instead?

[Meph]

It wouldnt load the new sprites.

[Pvt. Pirate]

It wouldnt load the new sprites.

well - it did, but it also turned many things into statues etc i'll have to stick to your regular 44.09 then.

[Vordak]

Bone items.
Breastplate, high boots, buckler, shield, crutches, splints, animal trap, toy boat, puzzle box, toy hammer, toy axe, mini-forge, chain, tool(scroll rollers), music instrument.



Upd. Added music instrument.

[Meph]

Awesome.

I'll get to work with the overrides and making them available to the player.

Now I really want to do a glass set too

Edit: And the last remaining corpses:

[Meph]

Ok, I really didn't think I'd fill up a new tileset that quickly, but these alone are 250 tiles:
 - Variety for bins, barrels, corpses, raw fish, prepared fish, books, coins.
 - Unique sprites for flask, vial, waterskin; mug, cup goblet; wood trunk, mushroom trunk, saguaro trunk.
 - Difference between fresh and rotten meat/cheese.
 - Eighteen new food types, modded in.
 - Fifty-five bone item sprites, mostly for mood-only items.
 - New design for wooden bridges.



In addition to that, I also have 42 ramp sprites. ^^

Edit: I've been staring at tiles all day, so I can't really judge anything anymore Carpets... carpets... which one you like?







or maybe like this?

[Ph.D Banana]

I think this one looks the best personally. Having segmented squares with patterns inside really helps to tell it apart as a rug/carpet vs just weird red/color tile.

[Meph]

Three styles, for Yarn (animal), Fiber (plant) and Silk.



It kinda works, but I'm really not satisfied with the transition from Left-Right walls and Up-Down walls. Makes it hard to keep a consistent style. :/

The other problem is the color. This is a mock-up, but ingame they look white... because pig-tail is light grey, silk is white, and sheep wool is light grey.

Edit: I'm not sure...



I tried a few new things, like the banners for statues/stands, and a hammock as bed... but otherwise I'm not sure if a cloth-set is worth it.

Edit2: Metal bridges?

[Silpion81]

I have a question regarding the "Fancy-looking armor/weapon sets" poll. What are the implications on maintainability? Does this mean more work updating to a new DF version?

I like the sprites but updating to new versions should not be a chore for you.

[Meph]

It's not affected by updates.
