I'm absolutely speechless and a bit overwhelmed actually (both by the data and your acts). You've given me a lot to think about and to work on while at the same time saving a lot of time. I don't think i know the words to properly express my gratitude here, especially in light of the things you said in the interview.

As for the special type: We'll just have to see how it looks after rendering it. If all fails we can still put a stone question mark in their place.

Special = closed bars, closed grates, doors (except for closed lever-operated doors, which are total), hatches as doors but total=floor, archery targets

Doors are probably the most common.

[Mithaldu]

Hmm, means it would require some predictive analysis. I'd say the cases where grates or hatches are built without having the floor under them digged out are seldom enough to identify them by that property.

If doors are rendered as simple walls in the middle of the tile, with some guessing as to direction based on surroundings it shouldn't be a problem to have them stand in for targets too. ... Maybe draw all doors with a targeting ring.

The one i don't quite understand is this one: hatches as doors but total=floor.

I just also noticed that 1+3 = road. Yay. \o/

I just meant take the text from door "doors (except for closed lever-operated doors, which are total)" and change it to hatch with total=floor "hatches (except for closed lever-operated hatches, which are floor)".

Floor = bridge, shop, depot, road, closed lever operated hatches
Block = well
Total = closed lever operated doors, also floodgates, blocking part of screwpump, blocking part of water wheel, window
No block = everything else that can be passed through (furniture, walkable workshop squares, etc.)
Block/floor = everything else that can't be passed through (unwalkable workshop squares, etc.)

Alright, had to read it a few times, but got it. Thanks again.

When I first glanced at the title of this thread, I thought it said 3Dwarf beatification project. Truly an interesting thought.

Hi. This is a fasinating thread and I've got a related question (I'm also playing with 3D visualisation).

DESIGNATION_MATGLOSS_BIT1-4 seems to be an index into a list of stone types that make up the layers for the map. However, I can't find the relation between this index and the array of stone types loaded from the raws. Presumably there is some sort of intermediate array, but I can't find it.

Does anyone have any info on either the form or location of this data? Or am I barking up the wrong tree?
 Cheers.

Is there any information as to the development ongoing with this project?
I really enjoy using it as is, and I'm curious what lies in store currently!

Those will take you to the geological layer in the geological region associated to the world map square associated to the tile.  There's a lot of hopping around, which makes writing these utilities with the exact material a bit more difficult.

I'm sorry, but it will be a while before anything comes of this. I posted it at a time where i expected roughly a month before i had enough data to work with.

It will be some time until i can take enough of a break from work to actually invest in this. :/

WHAT?  WE DEMAND OUR FREE THINGS NOW DESPITE THE HARDSHIPS IT MAY CAUSE IN YOUR LIFE

I am of course kidding.  You're making a viewer for a game map.  I'm sure people don't mind waiting, man.  Good luck with it all.

[Hishan]

A bit of a shameless bump here, but just to ask, how goes the project?

[Tamren]

Yes how goes? Im hoping for added Z levels and colour visualization for my 8X11 map sized starship 

[Joseph Miles]

The viewer is being updated?! I wish I knew that before, I made a fort on an older version just to see it in visualizer...

[sinoth]

added Z levels and colour visualization

Could you explain this?
