That's right

I wonder if a "simplified" (16-color like DF) colorset for stones could be made available. I'm making a fort out of dark stones (granite, gabbro, etc), and it looks multicolored in stonesense. The xml is easily editable but I'd imagine you folks probably have some batch tools there to do this faster than me...

If not just give me a whack on my head and I'll it myself.

First off, Stonesense is working great so far!

Is there a way to make a map-screenshot? I kind of want to know, how my map looks in 3D

the key for the is CTRL+F5, but it takes a veeeeeeery long time to do it, since the sizes involved are generally too large for graphics cards, and we have to switch to the far slower software rendering.

I spent hours going through a list of the materials used, doing imagesearches on them, copying the images to photoshop, and typing in the colors manually, so no, I don't have a batch tool to do it.

on the other hand, you can look at the gems.xml to see a simple way of using few colors, since tehre was no way in hell I was going to do the above-mentioned process for 100+ types of gems that are only seen in stonesense in raw ore form, and in windows.

Oh what a pity for the gems not being visible as objects. They would look very nice...

They're not even visible as materials for objects, I have and invisible artifact hatch cover that I would love to see.

plus here - warning, quite big picture

[forsaken1111]

That took 20 hours?!

[Petr Ga]

That took 20 hours?!

maybe 10. i switched laptop to sleep twice inbetween so it was on and off, I am not sure about time

[forsaken1111]

Oh... sleep suspends it. And laptop...

Its not even that big of a map. even 10 hours is a bit excessive.

Question: Is Slate going to become compatible for 40d at any point? I'd love to be able to see my old forts with the new features.

i'd be surprised. that "d" can be read as "dead", as well

dont forget this is pure software renderer. nothing hardware accelerated due to image size

[Trigonous]

I'm just wondering how I can tell if content in the repository is compatible with the new release, or if it should be by default.

it is slightly never right now

just compare revision date with date of edit of first post in this thread

edit: there is branch release_Slate_rc1. so trunk is definitely newer

I can't figure out how to get Stonesense to decompress.  I have no experience with .rar files and my attempts to download and use Unrar are failing.  Can I get a .zip of Stonesense or a pointer to a decent .rar tutorial?
