Things have really been moving fast the last couple of days, and it didnt help that I got completely hammered last night
BUT we are looking really good for the next release, and for those who arn't poking around in the repository I can just say we have some awesome new features coming.
@7¢ Nickel: Excellent work on those windows, I'm putting them in asap. Windows can be built without floors right, in DF I mean? Otherwise I'll look at adding some logic to remove the floors.
The weapon rack and the armor stand are just perfect, there's not much more to say...
@Belal: Did you get my pm about linux compiling? I really want to make this multi platform friendly.
@Katie: I would like to follow the DF cursor too. I think we have enough info to get it, I'll check with Peterix of dfHack...
@The13thRonin: The next release should be done soonish (within a week?)
@kaypy: You're doing great work. But you know that, we talk on
#dfhack @ freenode.net.
@dyze: The hats on the dwarfs symbolize 'peasant'. But it's the only dwarfsprite we got so far, so they're all peasants.
@Footkerchief: Yes, I believe Solifuge sent an email to Mike. But like he said; he's a bit busy. Of course, when he gets time, we'd love to get help from such a talented artist.
As for using graphics sets: It kinda works... at least as placeholders. They're a bit small for our 32x32 sprites, but not too bad i suppose...
@Mike Mayday: Nice to hear from you mate
Let us know when you feel like you have some spare time!
Custom tile sizes will have to be put in compile time (because of optimization issues), but all you really need to do is change ONE flag in common.h. If people really want this i might release a 16x16 or 64x64 binary. would that work?
@Footkerchief: reading graphics packs is something Im gonna look into.
@Nexii Malthus: I havn't had any issues here.. let me know if you find out anything with Allegro?
@Grimic: these are all very good ideas. 1: cover the whole screen? sure, Ill add an option. 2: yes. working on it. 3: I made that, for debugging. its not pretty like DF's Look function is. 3: I want that too. Been looking into it.
@DJDD: You said it yourself: " its an art-style, and I quite like it". That's my answer too
@CobaltKobold: we want to switch to alpha and PNG files. but it would require many more library dependencies, not good for people who want to compile.
background color?
Sprite list.
