[Askot Bokbondeler]

those pillars arent "a single layer of your cavernous base"...they are a trade depot on the surface...noob

[jarathor]

Haha, even with the little mistakes that article is publicity gold.

I emailed them to correct it after picking up my copy :p I wouldn't mind but it was fairly common knowledge on here way before this was published and the guys at pc gamer have been known for playing df

[Keita]

I saw that as well. Lol'd quite a bit. Also awesome work guys, loving everything you're making.

Wrong DF version? It seems to be among the first causes of that error around here.

If you happen to be useing bumptop (the free 3d desktop) you can't open stone sense from the desktop, or one of those floaty folders that open in bump-top, you have to use the button that opens an actual window and launch stone sense from there. A similar problem may happen with other programs. I actually figured this out when a different program came up as unable to reed itself.

Nevermind, the error given out with Stonesense / bumptop is different. Although it is the same for a different DF add on program... Just tested to make sure.

Otherwise the http://mayday.w.staszic.waw.pl/df.php version appears to be compatible.

Also I recently got introduced to dwarf fortress and then found this a couple of days ago. Amazing work. A question I have though is why are some objects using other sprites (like the green glass table looking like a stone one). Is this a simple issue of lacking a sprite for it? If I were to make some sprites for things that are currently using the generic object sprites (and add the code to make them work) and wanted to share them, is there somewhere to put that kind of modding or is the developer accepting sprite submissions?

[Elvang]

Jadael has already made different versions of furniture and constructions that match the material (most of them, all varieties of glass are notably missing) they are made out of, but IIRC stonesense/dfhack isn't capable of making use of it yet. This.

Hmmm. *tries something*

EDIT: Alright, try re-downloading. Peat is changed.

Oh ok, So it's mainly a program optimization issue then. Thanks.

The program probably wouldn't cope too well with the number of variations Jadael set up, but a subset would likely be ok. If you wanted, you could adjust the graphics and configuration in your buildings directory, and then maybe put up the results on the Content Repository

On an unrelated note, I've set up a thread for collecting cool screenshots so we can get some better ones to show off in the Media section.
It's over here in the DF Dwarf Mode Discussion forum.

So if you have any neat (doesn't have to be that neat) screenshots, please share

Sounds like the object graphic storage needs tree-ifying.

[Neonivek]

Some of the Statues need to be redone as they often don't go well with the color

Onyx Statue would be the most noticable. You can barely make out the features.

[kaypy]

On the subject of furniture, does anyone have any good ideas for handling furniture-installed-in-a-room vs furniture-lying-around-a-stockpile?

I'm sorta inclined to make the 'object' variant smaller or something. I'm trying in general to keep objects low-key relative to the other stuff on display.

[Rose]

you could have them on their side, thus giving the impression that they are not set up.
