That's right

That is right

you can get winrar from the winrar website. is has a nag screen politeley asking you to pay for it, but is otherwise fully functional.

or you can use 7zip

Thanks Japa. Seems there are fake sites trying to pretend to be winrar as well. Weird.

Also some links on the first page are broken. Example: http://dwarffortresswiki.net/Stonesense:Content_repository shoves you into a 404 page not found. At least it does for me.

Greetings i would like to make a little manipulation because i prefer the look of a certain wall in the sprites.

Right now when i make wall out of blocks i get the 4Block wall type using marble block, but i would like to have the more brick-type sprite how would i do that?

modify some xml files.

Just downloaded Stonesense, and it seems to be stuck at the "Connecting to DF" screen. I replaced the memory file too with the one in the OP...so I don't really know what else to do.

Thats what i figured that far but to be honest how do i know what sprite number i want?

I believe the spriteing guide here has a good detailed explanation.

Basically the image is split up into a grid each with a single sprite.

The top rightmost one is sprite 0.  The one directly to the left of that is 1, directly to the left of that is 2.  To a maximum of 19 across.

Directly below starts at 20 (whether or not the spritesheet actually is big enough to go 20 across) left of that is 21, and so on.

Hopefully that is enough to give you the jist of it.

Same actually. Does your Stonesense screen flash/flicker at that point too?

Thanks for the heads up Should be fixed now.

@jocan2003: Just post any questions you might have here, and we'll do our best to help you. Good luck!
Oh and on the sprite thing: Pretty much what Greiger said. Know that there is also support for more sprite sheets than that wiki guide (which is somewhat outdated) mentions.

Something in my map is making stonesense crash. Unhide all tiles and then go down to the 3rd caverns.

next time, use DFFD, it's made for this kind of stuff.

[Rose]

okay, it's not crashing with the dev version, so it must be fixed.

[jocan2003]

Hello once again,

After trying all i could trying to modify the XML there i still cannot change it, turning Stonesense into debug mode and checking the sprite loaded, it show the game is currently using the Sprite 143 or 145 for the marble wall made of block, after looking at the XML files nothing is using the 143/145 am i missing something?

Maybe i need to add something to the block.xml, if its the case im screwed as i dont know anything about adding a new wall....

[Beeskee]

I guess there was no point in me reporting it then, oh well.

Edit: If I click the "report bug to microsoft" thingy, do you get those reports?
