That's right

That is right

Not going to happen unless someone invests a great amount of time into memory research and porting. Let's say up to a month of dedicated effort. That person needs to know the Mac OS internals, programming and have some amount of cracking experience.

My original statement of "Of course not." stands.

You'd be better off getting a copy of Windows and using Bootcamp.

Stonsense is awesome i just have to say, one quick question however, i would like to get started on making a graphics set, what are the lengths and widths of one character, because those elves be pretty tall 

You should check out some of the tutorials over on the DF wiki, they should get you started

@LegitMacgyver: We did experiment with those, and they sorta work yeah. Two things though: It was hard for me at the time (before I had help of some of these amazing artists) to draw spiral stairs. And also some people use stairs as a grand flight of stairs, in which case the half-assed rotation they do now sorta work better.

As for implementing with the DF UI, that's been discussed several times before, so in summation: It would be cool if Toady put in some "plugin hook" or something, but by no meas are we pressuring him to do this. It's his game, We like what he's done so far; We trust his judgment.

If you were looking for some Dwarf-diversion, be sure to check out the content pack Caldfir just uploaded last night over at the Content Repository.

He has made a staggering about of dwarf profession sprites, must be hundreds by my count. And they look fantastic! Be sure to note he says it's still a WIP though, but it looks very promising!

For some reason Stonesense shows all my constructed walls, ramps, stairs and floors the same grey colour but I've seen screenshots of wooden walls and similar - is there a setting I have to change to show the wall material?

Some of the walls should have custom graphics by default, like wood or metal. If those don't work there's something wrong. As for ramps, awaiting the next release you could try this:

Thanks for the heads up jonask, they do look great.

Looks like they're based on Jarathor's.

I'm having a bit of trouble with the draw size. Despite continuing to set my Z size higher and higher (up from 20 to the current 150), it refuses to display more than 29 levels at once, so I can only see the bottommost tips of the stalactites I've carved from the lake, or the whole cluster of stalactites with mysterious empty space below them where the lake should be. I think I might be having the same issue with the XY size, as I've likewise slowly incremented it up to 100 without it showing very much to either side at all. Does any immediate solution present itself?

There could be a hard-coded maximum, probably to prevent people misunderstanding and setting a ridiculous value (such as thinking it was pixels and doing 1600 or something). Any dev members able to comment?

when stonesense reads the config file, is puts an arbitary limit of 30 Z levels. however, once it's running, you can use the 1 and 2 keys to increase it to your hearts content.

Ah! Exactly what I was looking for, thanks. I'll go drop some shots in the screenies thread later.

Is there a non SVN Download of the 40D17 Version out yet or do I need to wait a bit longer?

I reinstalled and its working just fine now.

Also - I've recently developed a habit of constructing my forts out of Olivine which renders a nice dark green in VisualFortress and Khazad, any plans for more coloured walls in later versions of Stonesense?
