That's right

That is right

There is a workaround.

There's a file in the data folder of DF that has the colors that go with the color names.

find black in there and make it something other than pitch black.

[Greiger]

You sir are a genius.  I did not even consider changing the DF color values, I knew ssense had to get them from someplace but I didn't consider that it just read them from the DF files.

Now to pick a color...hmm. FF4 chocobo black or dust covered external hard drive black...decisions...

[Rose]

actually, it /doesn't/ get them from the DF files.

It gets them from the DF memory.

yes, DF stores the actual colors that your creatures are, but doesn't use them.

I have a strange problem, when I run stonesense the program opens but the window doesn't have a physical presence.

I can view the program's thumbnail image in the task bar and it is running, I press f9, it switches to a black thumbnail with some text and then switches to a green thumbnail which is probably the big empty field my dwarfs are in.

I was wondering if anyone has experienced this problem and knows the solution or has any ideas for how to go about troubleshooting and correcting it.
OS is Windows 7 -64 bit.
DF is 0.31.25 V9.2

i have this problem. japa replied to read back a few pages for the solution, so i read the previous 10 pages without finding a solution. or, more likely, it was there but i could not recognize it.

But this is probably what you want:

Whenever I need to move a window that's in a bad spot ... I need to select move, nudge it one pixel with my keyboard, then move the mouse to get the window movement to "link" to the mouse cursor.  If I do not use the keyboard, the window will never detect my mouse position and never move.

no, thats definately not the solution to my problem. for the sake of clarity i have communicated my grievance using the medium of interpretive dance, and posted the result on imageshack.

as you can see, i am also getting the error message "cannot load font:DejaVuSans.tff" when i try messing around with my tiny windows 7 preview window. searching the thread i find others with this error message when compiling their own versions of stonesense, but i cannot understand those discussions and they do not seem to pertain to just running the allready compiled vanilla version off the first post. i definately have the font installed, i reinstalled it twice from different sources, and i used it to type comments in the above image.

In Windows 7/Vista you have to hold Alt or Shift (can't remember right now, don't have Windows box running to check) then right click the taskbar item to get the move option.

ah! it is shift. i am so grateful. i had no idea what was going on, and did not realize stonesense was running fine, just one full computer screen down and to the right. getting the stonesense window into my screen is still a pain though, and after multiple tries it still feels like witchdoctory. i need to hold shift, right click stonesense on the taskbar, select move then bash the up and left keys for ages. the window still does not appear, but if i select move again, then click and hold the mouse i get the very top edge of it and can finally drag it into view. it feels unreliable and stupid, but i at least can get stonesense running now, which is the first time since 40d.

much thanks.

Alright, ladies and gentlemen, may I present my compilation content pack.  Instructions are included on the DFFD page:

Spoiler (click to show/hide)

This is just a handy pack of resources meant for Stonesense 2.3 for use alongside DF version 0.31.25.  The main purpose is to switch on all the hidden cool stuff in Stonesense, without having to spend hours figuring out what's going on. 

Just install Stonesense, then extract this file into the install directory.  Copy over the existing files.  If something breaks, reinstall a fresh version of Stonesense. 

Included in this pack are the following:

• Graphics for grasses are turned on. 
• Graphics for multi-tile trees are turned on.
• Animated water is turned on.
• My dwarf graphics pack is included. 
  
• Grim Dark stone tiles by TheraHedwig.
  

If something's not working send me a PM.  Also, I'm still waiting to confirm redistribution of TheraHedwig's GrimDark stuff in a compilation like this is OK, but I've got no response in a week and people seem to want this thing.

I know this is an older post but this now just removes all objects for me now. (doors, beds, chairs, workshops, etc)
