I did a pig and a chicken for Dig Deeper support. C+C?

cute.

[Reverend Josiah]

I downloaded the version of dwarf fortress with this graphic mod attached, and when I started to play it kicked me out of full screen to window, which my older versions did anyway, but for some reason the window was cutting off the right side so I couldn't see it. Any ideas on what's going wrong?

Sounds like a screen resolution problem. The minimum screen width for using a 16x16 tile set in Dwarf Fortress is 1280.

I had an issue with the pre-package as well, but mine was far less... describable. I tried to run DF, but the screen kept fluctuating, constantly, keeping me from seeing the world generation well, due too the initial menu beinc consistantly overlayed. It seemed as though ever moment of graphics got stored and was trying to display at the same time.

When I tried to apply the graphics alone to a vanilla copy, I suffered the same issues as Reverend Josiah.

I have checked, and it is not an issue with resolution.

[RantingRodent]

Others have reported the same flickering issue and fixed it by changing the partial print setting in the init file.

Well, I'm enjoying this a lot. It's so clear and wonderful. *shiny eyes*

[RantingRodent]

Glad you like it

I've decided not to make another release until DF2010. I'm working on fleshing out the female dwarves right now, and tweaking the tileset to use partial transparency better. I'm also working on updating Urist McModder (finally). If I can keep myself dedicated, I want to use it for all of my raw changes.

When I tried to apply the graphics alone to a vanilla copy, I suffered the same issues as Reverend Josiah.  I have checked, and it is not an issue with resolution.

I initially had the same problem as Reverend Josiah - tried to start in full screen mode and got an error message then it automatically switched  me to windowed, which worked fine.  I looked in the init.txt and noticed these lines -

[GRAPHICS:YES]
[GRAPHICS_WINDOWEDX:1280]
[GRAPHICS_WINDOWEDY:592]
[GRAPHICS_FONT:RantingRodent_Brick_02.bmp]
[GRAPHICS_FULLSCREENX:1280]
[GRAPHICS_FULLSCREENY:592]
[GRAPHICS_FULLFONT:RantingRodent_Brick_02.bmp]
[GRAPHICS_BLACK_SPACE:NO]

Since my desktop resolution is 1280x960, I tried changing the '592' to '960' for full screen, started again, and it worked fine...except then I had the flickering problem that shadowsofwhite describes, so I found the line

[PARTIAL_PRINT:YES:0]

and changed back to

[PARTIAL_PRINT:NO:2]

Now everything seems to work fine except for one thing which will seem like a very noob question, because it is; and it's the same problem I had when I briefly tried to install and use the May Day graphics (I actually haven't even really played DF yet, only installed, generated a world and embarked just to test that it all works).

Anyway, my problem is that certain characters on the menu screens don't show as normal smooth text, but graphic tiles, like both 'o' and 'O', '.' and ',', and also the four arrow keys.  Is this normal or am I missing something?

[RantingRodent]

Normal. Dwarf Fortress uses the same font for displaying graphics and text, so some tiles end up getting reused, even with modding.

[Tayron]

I've seen a few posts on this, but no solution mentioned...so I'm tossing out my info too.

Like a few people, when I select a wall to be mined out, it simply turns it pitch black.
Originally thought it might have been compatibility issues when I tried installing the graphics with the Dig Deeper mod, but even on a fresh install it seems to do this.

I have not yet tried older versions though, so I'm wondering if it is because I'm using 40d19.  Or if there's something else I'm missing somewhere?

That issue aside though, I should at least mention that thus far, I quite like the graphics I've seen. ^^

[RantingRodent]

The problem is that sand and soil wall tiles have no transparent pixels. When you designate for mining, the game inverts the alpha channel, making the whole tile transparent, showing black in the whole tile. This will be fixed in the next version, but you can also fix it yourself if you use an image editor to add some transparent pixels to those tiles. It is generally safe to replace pure black pixels with transparent ones, but not always.

[ungulateman]

I was wondering why that happened. I can't wait until that's fixed, digging in soil can be annoying with all the black tiles everywhere.

Dwarf female jobs, ready for DF2010. C&C appreciated, I haven't done many female sprites and I'm not sure I'm entirely happy with these.



[edit]

Here are the basic sprites as well.

amazing job! well done, again

i think i can confidently say that df2010 will only be installed by me when your graphics pack is ready for it... 99% of what displays on 40d16 for me is rom your pack, and i dont think the next version without it would be the same. hres hoping its a nice easy switchover.
