That's right

That is right

DFHack has a (mostly) updated memory.xml. Try taking the memory.xml file from DFHack and copying it over the memory.xml in stonesense.  That file not being able to identify DF .18 is usually what causes that to happen in my experience.

It doesn't have critter values, so creatures don't appear, but it gets terrain and plants.

So... not compatible with .19 yet?

Heh I was kinda wondering how long it would take for somebody to ask...

Less than 24 hours too. Impressive.

[dennislp3]

lol I have been scouring popular threads looking for the people who ask this very question...never ceases -.-

ywah, we're working on getting it working for the new release. can't promise sprites for the new features, though.

I suposse have some grass then:


From what I gather there's four levels: none, sparse, 'normal' and dense.
Grayscale because I heard that some cave-grasses are rainbow coloured.
The lighter one is identical to the darker one, and mostly there to give some choice. Maybe some people would find the original a bit too dark.

I guess that if it's properly implemented, that the 'general' grass goes away?

EDIT:Dear lord, there's something like 40 grasses...

Simply awesome....

[therahedwig]

Aargh, stop me from making all these grasses, it's too damn addictive easy! I have ramps to do!

uhm, have some nestboxes, jugs, pots and hives then. (Yeah, there's no fletched hives in the game, but at the least people will recognise it instantly)

Simply awesome....

Thank you :3

I don't think I'm going to try my hand on the animals. My style is quite different from the general stonsense style, and it has only worked together up till now because I keep foccusing on the terrain.

[Rose]

therahedwig, actually, if my guess is right (I haven't had a good look at it just yet) there's more likeley to be 100 levels of grass, if it works anything like the other coverings.

[therahedwig]

well, using 'look' mentions dense, no qualifyer and sparce. I kinda went off that.

If you plan to go for higher variety, do say.

For how decadently the different grass is just mere flavouring, I have to say I'm quite fond of it from a graphical point of view.(mostly because I've always wanted to sprite something that had a nice variety in plantgrowth, bit of a stupid reason, but hey)

Even if there are 99 densities, the "k" look only displays, what, 3 or 4?  So, probably easy to just clump all those together into 3-4 sprites so that the image reflects the "k" look in-game.

Agreed. Both the in game loo[k], and physically looking at it go for this approach. Eyes can't distinguish between 54 and 56 levels.

Now, you might make the argument for splitting it into more than four categories, because I could distinguish between 10 and 20 levels. However, the fact that the game itself only displays 4 works for me.

All I have to say is that maybe in the higher grass densities, we could use a solid grass color background. That way it looks like a carpeted grass . Just a thought. 

[Rose]

yeah, my point was that you could just do whatever number of sprites you want, and they can be used appropriateley.

That's looking pretty sweet wig
