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.

Play on windows?

What does mousequery do anyway?

Edit: Mh... figured out a way to trick the game when it comes to blood spatters on walls:


(Edit2: Damn. that trick clashes with mining designations)

got to install win10. got a serial lately. still got to /dl the iso and prepare my data for migration.

that would look so awesome...
"designations, why u no work with that?!"

Sadly designations would also look like brown blood spatters. :/

On the other hand, I can do this: Mining designations... which show if its rock, ore or gem. Bit cheating I guess.

Spoiler: Large image (click to show/hide)

Edit2: Oh, and saguaros work... different design for trees Quick mock-up with the dokucraftdwarven cactus sprite.

Fort's up. Spread'er around if you please.

I went over the cavern design, tried to improve it a bit.

- Tree cap ramps (sides of giant mushrooms) now look like lots of smaller mushrooms on the side.
- Spore and fungiwoods now have two types of different shaded "leafs".
- Blood thorns and nether-caps/wood now have special trunks, showing brambles/ice.
- Floor mushrooms are a bit toned down for cavern 1
- Background of cavern plants now fits seamless into the cavern floor sprites. (Issue: Only works on one cavern at a time; I'm considering splitting/adding plants for each cavern individually)



Edit: Designations were on my list. Were.

Tree cutting


up/down stairs, up stairs, down stairs.
ramps, mining, channels.


Those are the designation icons; the actual stairs do not have the arrow.
(Edit: crap. The tile:88 for the up/down stairs is also the mouse-pointer and any other area-designation for constructions, like floors or walls or bridges. I'll have to scrap that.)

Edit3: And another thing that bothered me... when you designate tracks to be build or carved, it always used the default tiles from the main tileset... which don't look like tracks at all. I fixed that and added "unfinished tracks" as sprites:

Just as a heads up, it's a rather inconsequential thing, but the descriptor_color_standard file for the tileset is out of date - the color eggplant is MIA despite being a vanilla color.

Is there any way to import settings from one version to the next, the major downside i'm having with this compared to the masterwork launcher is having to many 6 or so screenshots of my settings and copy them in. If i'm missed out where this is located i'd be so happy for someone to point it it to me, otherwise it'd come as a highly requested feature.

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.

I agree that this floor rug is the best, but the wall-rugs on the north-south walls hurt my brain.

As I've said, I don't like them either, but I have no other option. :/

Highly requested... you are the first to ask. ^^ There was an option for saving settings in the MasterworkDFLauncher, but it was buggy, so it got removed.

Noted. Jecowa also told me months ago, but it really doesn't matter because it's only used in the eggplant plant, and I use a different color there, because it gets the color directly from the sprite.

New caverns looks very cool. Bright colors create a great atmosphere.
p.S. Update my dwarves and goblins)

Done.

And... wow! Just saw the changes you did to the constructions, furniture, etc. Every time you do stuff like that, I wonder why I made sprites in the first place.

Now I understand what you meant about the missing -top file for the _variety.png.

[Vordak]

Me by the way very puzzled that for different materials in 3 types of stairs (_MDF_constructions) do not track the dependence in the columns).

Sorry, I didn't quite understand that.

[Vordak]

Sorry, I didn't quite understand that.

You have a clearly laid out template for the walls i.e in every row for a certain type of wall there will be one and the same horizontal coordinate - horizontal wall will always be below the horizontal wall, same for other types of walls.
But for stairs сlear structure is not traceable  - see rock, wood and silver stairs.

[Meph]

Now I get it.

I made a mistake at one point and kept going, because I felt it was easier to move numbers around in a text file, than to move pixels around in an image file. That's all. No big plan behind it.

it's very easy: the walls don't have perspective (no trapezial stretching) so the wallrug must not have them either.

You can embark on camps, sometimes you find "tents" with leather, cloth or silk walls.

Well, tents shouldn't  seamlessly combine with actual carpeted stone walls, besides afair you already made carpet decorations, no?
Is it possible to make somethng like
