Provided below is a set of pixel-based circle templates for odd-numbered widths from 3 squares to 45 squares. I apologize for the JPEG artifacts, as I originally constructed these in .bmp, but Photobucket is a tawdry, dispassionate harlot.

Most of these are open-ended (unblocked diagonals), but this was to ensure readabilty; you can fill in the open corners as you see fit.

Ooooh, I was going to do just that this evening. Thanks.

Gonna start on my 40 diameter inner gatehouse soon.

Try TinyPic, you can upload any picture and you don't have to reduce the size of the image.

I didn't reduce the size. JPG just messes up color, apparently.

Don't use JPEG then.  I don't know why people do anyway.  Use PNG.

I had it in BMP originally. Photobucket converted it. :\

 Oh Photobucket, why do you give us no options with this crap?

 But yes, useful. Then again, after looking for resources like this and learning that diagonal walls look wield with perfect circles I just have diagonal corners.

Que TinyPic suggestion.  Image size wasn't the reason I brought it up.

I've got an autohotkey script for arbitrary-thickness rings lying around somewhere, I'll dig that up and post it in here later.

[Untelligent]

Next time save it in PNG instead of BMP then, Photobucket won't do anything to it.

[LegoLord]

Or just don't use photobucket.  It's not that good.

so we zoom right in on these little circles in paint or similar and copy the pixels as tiles in df to get nice round rooms and tunnels? thats much better then nothing, but still a little annoying. the squares need white dividing lines between them or something to be more distinguishable, particularly in the larger circles you have here. figuring it out makes my brain and eyes hurt.

i allways counted them out manually, judging circles without any outside help, and didnt let the miners near it till it looked just right. im actually pretty good at it now. though its such a pain.

what DF really needs is an option to save premade mining schematics as BMP images, so you could draw stuff in paint, then dump it straight into a blank z level, just like you would place a building. or just save existing things like really nice dining halls as BMP plans for later use.

asides from my complaining, cheers, i may end up using this, and damn photobucket for jpegging everything, and damn jpeg for its annoying little artifacts.

Here you are, auto-hotkey script to do rings with arbitrary inner and outer diameters. If you just want a circle, use an inner diameter of 0. Unfortunately, you'll have to modify the script directly to change the circle size, but that shouldn't be much of an issue (just change the "0" and "4" below)

Code: [Select]

;One full circle
#c::
circleQuarter("{NumPadDown}","{NumPadUp}","{NumPadRight}","{NumPadLeft}",0,4)
circleQuarter("{NumPadRight}","{NumPadLeft}","{NumPadUp}","{NumPadDown}",0,4)
circleQuarter("{NumPadUp}","{NumPadDown}","{NumPadLeft}","{NumPadRight}",0,4)
circleQuarter("{NumPadLeft}","{NumPadRight}","{NumPadDown}","{NumPadUp}",0,4)
exit

;Quarter-circle
circleQuarter(up,down,left,right,inner,outer)
{
x := 0
y := 0
innerBound := % inner*inner
outerBound := % outer*outer
loop,%outer%
{
loop,%outer% ; For a square that is as large as the outer radius
{
if((x*x)+(y*y) <= outerBound && (x*x)+(y*y) >= innerBound)
{
dig(right,0)
}

move(right,1)
x++
}
move(up,1)
move(left,outer)
y++
x := 0
}
move(down,outer)
}

;Utility functions
dig(dir,number)
{
send d
send {Enter}
move(dir, number)
send {Enter}
}

move(dir,number)
{
loop {
if number <= 0
{
break
}
send %dir%
number--
}
}

It's photobucket. Try another one, like TinyPic, if you aren't using photos.

which program do i use for this script??
