This is a really nice looking tile/graphic set. After experiencing and fixing similar problems mentioned above (the partial print option and fullscreen resolution), I started playing around with it a bit ago. I also tried to disable accented letters which seems to have mostly worked. Now it seems there is something strange with tiles to be dug out, they appear invisible when designated if next to an open tile. If surrounded by rock or something, it looks fine and they flash when a miner is about to carve them out though. Sorry if this is mentioned/explained earlier, I read the first page, then skipped to the end.

It may just be a weird undwarven coincidence though.

I haven't changed anything functional about the game, so yeah, that's just a crazy coincidence.

Does "playing around with" include modifying the images yourself? It sounds like an alpha problem.

I appreciate what you've done here with this mod. I just have a question. Is there any particular change made to make elves more powerful? It seems like every dwarven civilization i run into is ran by an elf king.

Since that actually requires dwarves to conquer elves, you've got it backwards.

This is a great graphical overhaul, However there is something missing, the last time I play, the badlands still is not *graphicalized*.

[RantingRodent]

Can you post a screenshot?

Actually I just meant playing the game with it, though I did replace the smoothed floor tile (I think that's what it was) from the brick01 set with the one from brick02, I haven't changed anything else besides the screen size. I'll check it on a fresh copy of DF, maybe it has something to do with the accent removal somehow? (the tiles disappearing were sand BTW, which were the same color as highlighted tiles. On some stone it seems the colored area of the tile became transparent, while the transparent part became highlighted.) It's not a big problem, just a little confusing.

Okay, call me stupid but I downloaded the bundled version and it won't run correctly. I even changed the partial print option and the screen is still flickering like crazy.

[RantingRodent]

Arucard: Ah, yes, sand does do that at the moment. I never fixed the transparency on sand tiles. Oops.

Varisma: If you figure out the problem, please let me know here.


My next release will have vanilla settings for as many things as possible. I have left too many of my personal tweaks in the init thus far.

Partial Print problem.  I had the same problem when I first started, went in and turned it on I think and it started working fine... or I turned it off... either way, I adjusted it and it worked :p

Apologies if this is in the thread somewhere; I tried to search but didn't have any luck.
I have to admit I find the way things vary between versions and the mechanisms for modifying kind of arcane... For various reasons, I'm unable to play baseline 40d (mostly input problems), so are there any instructions anywhere for using this with a 40dxx version?

I noticed at the top of 40d17's init file are ominous warnings about not trying to install anything on top of anything else, so I thought it best to stop to ask someone.

[RantingRodent]

40d## is a little easier to configure than the current version, actually. For 40d17, change the following entries. The entries already exist, you're just changing the value. You can replace the font name with one of the other options depending on your taste.

Then just copy the "main-mod" set of files into the dwarf fortress main directory.

[Octopusfluff]

... okay, I feel kind of retarded. Somehow I missed the distinction between bundle and non-bundle. Things are much clearer now. XD

[xdarkcodex]

It stuffed up my visual fortress application thingy.

[RantingRodent]

I'm slightly redesigning the Kobolds so that they are facing slightly to the side, matching the other races better. I've included a dwarf for comparison. The new Kobold is on the the right.

[turgidtoupee]

Hi; recently installed, but I have a few possible glitches: I have an elf diplomat who looks like a red x on a white background above half of the same thing. Also, my hammerer seems to be a generic looking dwarf with a question mark next to him. Any thoughts?
