Change glyph option text
« on: December 23, 2022, 04:23:12 pm »
Please change the "Use Classic ASCII glyphs" to something like "Use Classic text glyphs".

There's no need to further perpetuate the misconception that Dwarf Fortress (any version) uses ASCII.

Maybe "character glyphs"? Text implies readable words.

Reading his name would trigger it. Thinking of him would trigger it. No other circumstances would trigger it- it was strictly related to the concept of Bill Clinton entering the conscious mind.

A wizard has turned you into a wagon. This was inevitable (Y/y)?

Agree.

(But why label this "Steam"?)

Maybe the setting should instead be inverted and named to "Use Graphics", or something to that effect?

Does the Classic version have the option? I put "Steam" because I assume only the Steam version has or needs this option.

There is no difference between the Steam ver. and Classic aside from the inclusion of graphics and music in the Steam version.

Yes and this option applies specifically to that difference. Did you look to see if it has the option? I don't see it.

"Use Classic character glyphs" isn't bad but it might be confusing. I suggested "text" because then there's some relation to the original text mode that works with terminals / SSH.

I think something like this is a good idea. It could be as simple as "Graphics mode: Enhanced / Classic "

Yes, it's the last option on the Video tab for both the Premium and Classic versions of 50.04. Classic can use graphics, music, and sound (allegedly, I havn't tested it); it just doesn't come with those assets.

Ironblood didn't use an axe because he needed it. He used it to be kind. And right now he wasn't being kind.

Thanks for the confirmation. I've updated the subject.
