That's right

Spoiler: List (click to show/hide)

engravings in stonesense are chosen by the displayed tile in DF.

here's a sample of the first 60 of them:

these are just for testing, though. proper ones would look more like this:

Spoiler: Engraved! (click to show/hide)

these are the ones that go on the floor. there also needs to be two more sets, one for each visible side of the wall.

Would it just be easier to do a generic engraved tile?

wha...?

why would we do that?

[Taricus]

Easier for one thing.

[Greiger]

But not as dwarven.

Sure you could just place a 4 adamantine disks 4 silver spiked balls and 2 adamantine axe blades in a trap tile and call it a day.  But it is so much more dwarven to make a 200 z-level pitfall trap into a magma pool 5 z-levels deep with 10 steel spikes on the bottom.


...Plus it can't be THAT hard to take a font and run it through the MSpaint skew can it?

That's exactly what I'm doing right now, but hand-drawn is always better.

And here's attempt #1(and hopefully the final).

What I would really like to know is if planned designations can be shown in stonesense. The highlighted area's for digging, staircases, channelling etc. Can I hack it in myself or is the way those tiles are stored not accessable by stonesense? (been waiting patiently to an earlier question about this, but it's been nearly a couple of weeks now since I asked)

[Rose]

that's actually possible to do. come to think of it, I'm not sure exactly why it hasn't been done...

I'll look into it.

here we go, engraved walls.

Wow, different engravings show up as appropriate symbols? Damn - that is the Duck's nuts fo sho!! O_O

[Rose]

would you really have it any other way?

It gets better. lower quality engravings are less distinct.

mind you, stonesense can only tell what character is displayed by DF, not the actual engraving itself.

[Deon]

Still it's really great . I didn't even think about it heh.

Hey, I'm trying to get the latest version of stonesense to run on a Windows XP sp3 machine and I get this error message:

"This application has failed to start because the application configuration is incorrect.  Reinstalling the application may fix this problem."

Are there any dlls I can copy somewhere in my system directory that might let me run the program?  Or should I change some aspect of the Stonesense files themselves?

I am having the same problem. I didn't see a solution posted here, did anyone ever find one?

If stuff's not working

Spoiler (click to show/hide)

If you are unable to connect to DF, before doing anything else, try updating to the latest Memory.xml file. This is a direct link to the latest version known to be compatible with Stonesense. Stonesense Slate 2.2 should be DF31.16 compatible.

If the application fails to launch (version 2.1 only) ("The application failed to initialize properly (0xc0150002)"), you might be missing some runtimes. This should really only happen if Windows update hasn't run in ages or for any other reason is many years outdated. You can try downloading the Visual Studio runtimes from Microsoft:
Microsoft Visual C++ 2005 Redistributable Package (2.6MB)
Microsoft Visual C++ 2005 SP1 Redistributable Package (2.6MB)
NB! Some people have noted that the second package works better from this source, put up by McBeer:
http://www.easy-share.com/1912193426/vcredist_x86.zip (unofficial, but seems to work for A LOT of problems)

Ubuntu 10.10 problems
In Ubuntu 10.10 ("Maverick Meerkat") by default disables the ability of one program to read the memory of another. This is will stop Stonesense and any other DF tool from working. Please see this thread for a suggested workaround. Thank you rmunn for bringing this to our attention.
