That's right

That is right

Nice!
Is there a way to disable the name tags? It looks quite silly. xD

Great! Names, water, objects and I may be wrong, but it looks like it runs faster.

To disable names, it's "N". Pretty easy to find out.

Just got the new version and it looks great! A couple of things, though.

First, all of my dead shrubs are showing up as furniture. Funny, but odd:

Second, a little bit ago someone posted a picture of a whole fortress (an Escher inspired mind-bending one if memory serves). How was this achieved? A bunch of screenshots stitched together? Modification of the StoneSense init file?

Thanks and keep up the awesome work everyone!

[LegoLord]

Showed my brother (who has not been following DF, let alone this) some of my forts with the latest version of this, and he was fairly impressed - particularly with the animated mechanisms.

Only thing that doesn't show on mine is fish. and gorillas.

Wow, this is greatstuff.

I thought mine was buggy for a moment, but then I realised I was playing with heavily modded vegetation, so there were these patches of magma and water and random beds and tables and things wherever there was a shrub that's not in the vanilla game.

Is there a way of getting around this with modded games?

Hey all - I made a quick improvement to the dwarf graphics by basically pasting over the improved versions I've been working on. The color palette and the hair colors for many of the nobles need to be changed, and I haven't even touched the military yet, but here's what there is so far:

EDIT: Wait, I broke the transparency. That should be easy enough to fix though.
I can't manage to bring it back - little help?

[KaelGotDwarves]

I noticed that not all the trees and other updated sprites got in this version, is it simply a matter of editing the xml files and adding the sprites to the png to get them in?

EDIT: nevermind found the wiki entry on how to do it after searching more

Ah this is probably my problem too, I just didn't notice because they were just "dead shrub"s instead of whatever the modded vegetation was. No complaints from me now!

Some notes:
*Most* sprites you can configure using various xml files.
The main exception is the trees and shrubs. I'm not able to check right now, but I believe theres a hardcoded set of trees, and that shrubs are loaded based of shrub index. If you can get the other stuff out of the way, then just adding sufficient shrub graphics should work

Transparency problems are caused by having both transparency and pink. Either change all the pink to transparent, or flatten the image to get rid of the transparencies

The escher tower was both the biggest screen size I could organise, and combining 3 screenshots after the fact.

[Truean]

Found the problem:

It was something with my custom orc mod. It works outside of stonesense, but not with. Worth it all the same. This might be something similar to how everyone's dead shrubs are showing up as furniture. Who knows *shrugs*.

(P.S. Anything is possible with a heavily modded alpha game. Both DF and stonesense are alpha, as are all mods).

[Deon]

Well, there's nothing wrong with furniture shrubs, just a not for the future.

Also please, make a proper horse .

P.S. Also I see that my troll and nightwing are approved! Thank you, Jarathor.

I tried to make elven male/female to be matching those humans:

[Impaler[WrG]]

Nice start but they need to be more slender and elfin, Make your current female the male and then make an even more slender and feminine one as the new female.

[Footkerchief]

Deon, do you have an exceptionally high-contrast monitor or something?  Not trying to be snide, but your sprites always have a washed-out look to them -- the colors are muted and off.  If it's a deliberate stylistic choice then my bad.
