PTTGV5 : Transparent Tileset! [40d1+] Final Version!
« on: February 09, 2009, 01:56:32 pm »

PTTGV5:

This tileset uses the new features in 40d# to add some nice graphic effects, including drop shadows and transparency; This relies on the new processing capabilities of the 40d1+ series. This set also features the difficult-to-achieve Diagonal Wall effect from early work with Tahin.

A graphics set based on tile 1 & 2 is upcoming; I may also change it so that dwarves are a lighter tone, or maybe not. It's only really a problem with dark blue units. Please inform me of any odd graphics.

I like it. Doors look a little odd. I'm used to them being square. Otherwise, it's a nice take on the "diagonal walls" concept, which honestly was not my idea.

Here (http://www.bay12games.com/forum/index.php?topic=5428.0) is where the original idea came from. Unfortunately the mockup images seem to have disappeared with the forum transfer.

Anyhow, I really like the barrels.

Stone doors are a little weird, but that's partially because some doors have black backgrounds- Stone Doors should really be gray with the stone type's color on the foreground, though that can be fixed in the raws to some extent.

It looks really nice.

But I can not make it run? Do I have to do something more than just copying it in art folder and changing font name in init? Everything I see now is black screen.

Yeah, it has to be 40d#, not 40d. For instance, I'm running 40d6, but I think the latest is 40d9, or something. You'll find them on the dev page rather than the main download page.
Anything older only supports BMPs.

I changed the walls, since otherwise they would look like this, which I think looks terrible. Just a mass of white, blech:


And the barrels mentioned eariler:

What was the glitch?

Tile #8 needed a black, not shadowed, background. Now Catapults should look amazing.
Those are my letters, but there are some odd chars in your screenshot, like the full blocks and the walls- did you edit mine?

I'll but up some screenshots when I can.

 Care to post examples of how this improves the graphics over normal tilesets?

 I would like to see myself, but my current DF folder has several mods I don't wish to add again.

Sure, I can't at the moment, but will this evening.
You know that you can install tilesets without changing the raws, right?

 Unless you have 40d for a set that requires 40d#.
