[Earthquake Damage]

Any chance the rest of us could see at least a preview of what the new sprites (will) look like?  Inquiring minds want to know (and how!).

[magikarcher]

I made a modification of my own, and BTW I have NOT played the mod without this. I added copper layers so that my fortress had endless streams of ammo, and I don't rely on luck for finding metal.

[Neoadept]

I added landfills on the surface, which can be mined for garbage, which can be sifted at the smelter to get plastic, a low quality metal.  It makes sure people have enough material to get going when the fortress starts up.

Incidentally, I'm thinking of adding aluminum and glass to what can come out of landfills, at a lower frequency than plastic.

And here are the graphics Gnawer put together:


They look great in game, I just need weapon sprites for business men and the military, and a child sprite now that I think of it, and then I can roll out the next version with graphics.

I like the little flies around the standard zombie.  The MIB-looking dude would be great for corporate champions.  The hulking brute could use a bit more definition (i.e. darker outlines for his arms and such).

Just finished a new batch of characters

[Neoadept]

Very nice!  You can all look forward to a new version this weekend!

[Neoadept]

And here we are!

NEW Version 0.9
-Graphics, courtesy of Braingnawer.
-Added Aluminum and Glass to the things you can find in garbage.
-Lowered value of aluminum.

Installation instructions are in the read me file.

I'll see about getting you guys a screen shot later.

[Braingnawer]

AWESOME!!!!

How do you combine the graphics with those from the mike mayday graphics set?

[Neoadept]

The tileset, you mean?

Open the init file and do a find/replace, replacing "curses_800x600.bmp" with "maydayMIX.png".  Without the quotes, obviously.  That should give you the tileset and the zombie graphics, but I'm not entirely sure if there isn't something else that would need to be done.

Try it and tell my how it goes.

[moghopper]

Didn't work, but this IS Dwarf fortress. Things have to be mysterious and prone to failure at the worst of time

[Neoadept]

Hm, try re-downloading Mayday, and don't use the init file replacement step when installing the mod.  It has Graphics on already and I don't have any tiles for creatures it has, so it shouldn't conflict if we just use Mayday settings there.

[Keita]

I'm just getting a blank screen when it starts up, I've got sound but can't see anything

[Neoadept]

Alright, fixed it.  There's a new version up, grab that and follow the new read me instructions.

Instead of mucking around with overwriting the init, you just open it and set graphics to yes.  That should work.

Keep reporting any problems or suggestions!

[Heliman]

also, readme still states the wold zombies don't attack due to bug, but the changelog says you fixed it?

Great work on this btw
