That's right

That is right

[Rose]

it will not be hardcoded.

Guys, I'm just not sure if the paperdoll is the right thing to do. With all the combinations of clothing and jobs it means thousands of sprites. It also won't be a readable as tilesets, that go by the highest skill. I mean it will be a lot of work, and there will be no way not to make it confusing.

[Rose]

Stonesense already uses paperdolls, and switching between showing equipped stuff and showing highest skill is rediculously easy.

The same paperdolls can be used for both.

Hey Japa, just a question, would it be possible to get the variants to be applied to multiple castes?

So for instance:

Code: [Select]

<variant caste="MALE","MALE1","MALE2" sheetIndex="20" color="bodypart" bodypart="coat" >
    <subsprite sheetIndex="21" color="bodypart" bodypart="hair" />
    <subsprite sheetIndex="23" />
</variant>Instead of having X copies of the same code with just the castename difference.

If its a HUGE recoding excercise and you're limited for time don't bother with it, i don't think It'll apply to much else than the ponymod at this point.
I just know that adding all the equipment stuff for all 88 of my castes will be a beyatch

It's a lot of work on my end, vs some copy-paste-ing on your end.

[Sorcerer]

yeah, figured as much, no worries

I'd reccomend grabbing notepad++ and learning the regex (regular expression) search/replace function.  If used correctly, you can search/replace based on complicated criteria in multiple files at once.  It can save an amazing amount of time.

issue is that it takes up far too much ram, both system and video, to be useful.

I need to re-do the entire thing to be more system friendly.

I guess that explains why it works on smaller embarks. 3x2 and presumably smaller seems to work, guess I'll stick with that for now.

[Jingles]

Sorry to mess up the thread, but I just used Stonesense for the first time, and it is fucking godly.  Thank you so much for keeping it up.

[Caldfir]

Alright, large sprites are going well I think:

not pictured: crundles and jabberers and baby animals

I think I'm going to continue trying to round out domestic creatures and underground monsters, with a preference for creatures that don't yet have any sprites (like goats and water buffaloes) and creatures that are very common to see.  I wish I'd sponsored mountain sheep last year, because I really like drawing horns, and that would have been a good excuse to go completely crazy with it.  I tried doing some interesting things with the outlines of the fire imps pulsing red, but it ended up being kinda seizure-inducing. 

I think the style is pretty successful so far - things look decent down to around 64x64.  32x32 ends up being a bit ugly, but most are still recognizable

[MaximumZero]

right now it can only take the material color from the worn item, and I missed pants by accident, but I plan on being able to chose a specific item of clothing for the sprite, which with vanilla DF will be any of these:

Suuuuure, you did.

Okay, coming back to dwarf fortress after a loooooong hiatus, I saw this and it looks COOL. But how in the land of monkeys am I supposed to install this?  I even got the new Lazy Newb Pack and installed it into the graphics folder there and get nothing.


Any ideas? I know I am probably missing something super simple but I am not sure what it is.

[Rose]

follow the link to dfhack. it has the latest version of stonesense.

[Kordanor]

As far as I understood it's not working on bigger embark sites though.
When I tried it a week ago it was loading forever and screwed up Therapist by changing names to "Unknown Unknown".

[Rose]

It shouldn't be effected by embark size as it only loads a 70x70x5 chunk. However, large embarks take more memory, which could cause problems.
