That's right

That is right

Nickel your amazing

I copied the file into the stonesense folder but now when I run it I get an error saying "unable to set graphics mode."

OK, I'm more or less flailing randomly by this point, but have you tried changing resolution and/or fullscreen in the init file?

[Seth]

Yeah I understand that, not really my thing though.  I feel like there is something about the aesthetic of ASCII and roguelikes in general that always gets lost when these games are given actual graphics.  But to tell the truth I'd enjoy working on an alternate tile/spriteset that works to preserve that, so maybe I'll start up a little project about it once this gets further along

I already have a bit of that done. They're dead easy to make. Find my tileset thread... edit: found. Is 16x16 though.

Whoa.  I wasn't talking about such a direct translation but that is pretty cool!

Ok first pass at the windmill.



I went with a vertical axis windmill because a. It's omnidirectional and b. it would actually fit into a 3x3 grid without horrible perspective warping.

[Ezuku]

Eh, a bug.

Ran fine, until I did something with my currently growing fortress and the game crashed. at the time, I was building a staircase down Z levels. Then, I restarted it, but I keep getting the same message whenever I try to load up that same map. I can load other maps just fine, although I haven't really experimented much with them.

Checking stonesense.log, this is the message that keeps appearing:

Stonesense launched
Unable to load building config buildings/Pump.xml

I'm not doing anything with pumps, infact I don't even have any water on this map. This causes a stonesense, but not DF, to crash.

Incidentally, fantastic programme, but biggest visual piece of advice is that the stand needs to look lot less horrible. Cheers!

AHOY Maties!

Quick Question, sicne I am guessing there is not a Mac version of this... is there someone I can send a File to to see what my Glorious fort looks like as a 16bit old school RPG video game?

Revised central axle on the windmill.

[Arktanis]

This thing is EPIC. Keep up the great work, I'm anxiously waiting your next release.

I'm pretty sure it's been mentioned before, but the visualizer shows you undiscovered magma and hidden creatures(Such as Kobold thives)

[AlienChickenPie]

StoneSense keeps crashing whenever I try viewing a glacier map. Fortunately, the save is already up:

It happens whenever I get the "developed" part of the fortress lot on screen.

Both running at the same time.

Perhaps Stonesense hasn't realized that Dwarf Fortress has started?  Try pressing 'R' to ask Stonesense to refresh.  (Alternatively, press '+' on the numpad to set Stonesense to auto refresh)

Also note, you may have to change the z-level you are viewing.  It tends to start out looking at the level just below your bottommost dug out level or a bit up in the sky for me.

[Dr. Melon]

Didn't Chris Hildenbrand of Spriteattack make a mockup of an isometric view? Maybe he could contribute sprites too!

Yeah, here it is:

It looks good, but in the raws, tentacle demons are humanoid:

AlienChickenPie: This is likely DF fault, Glaciers are coded in a very weird way in DF and most visualizers have trouble with them.

Wait, so they have fingers and toes but not arms and legs... how can they be humanoid without arms and legs?
