The image is (or should be) 48x48px. You're using 16px tiles. 48/16=3. Likewise, the image is three tiles high and three tiles wide.

Four tiles by three would be 4:3; four by four 4:4, etc.

[Jack_Bread]

Because PAGE_DIM is the number of blocks that make up the image.
TILE_DIM is how large the blocks are.

Yeah, you will. :\

Ahh. I understand a little more. Blocks mean pixels, right? Err..

So I accidentally made mini robots? (Or, Deon did, and I accidentally made them too small.) I would say that they are all the better for sending down Kobold holes, but instead I'll try to increase the size of the graphics. Will I have to change the title, or page_dim? or can I just use the paint programs size adjuster? Scratch that. It makes them look like garbage. Anyone have a better program that could make them the proper size?

 I could work off of the proper sized graphic for the rest of the professions.

There's no such thing as "the proper size". What I was trying to say was that your PAGE_DIM is effectively equal to the number of tiles you have in the graphics file.

[Deon]

Yeah PAGE_DIM:3:3 is the issue, it should work.

Thanks for the ideas, Deon, I used some of them. (Updated the Creature-Bot on the first page.)

My current problem? I tried to add an Axebot graphic, and it won't show up. Still puzzling over that fun. Also the Recruits don't show with the red coloration. The babies, miners, woodcutters and peasants work though.

Oh, and I have the Bots a third limb for a claw attack. I'm gonna say it was used as a soldering tool before they escaped from the dwarves. (I intend to make our stout chums an opposed CIV when I get through all this trouble.) As a bit of relief on my pretty weak artistic ability, the third arm is stationed on their backs, and loops over a shoulder for use. I'll probably allow it in the picture sometimes. Like on Wrestlers.
   

[Jack_Bread]

Errrm...
[TILE_DIM] is the size of an individual tile. As in the amount of pixels a single robot on your sheet takes up.
So it should be [TILE_DIM:16:16]
Otherwise, the rest is alright.

Ok, I changed AXEBOT to AXEMAN and now it works. I also switched the 48 back to 16, I misunderstood something earlier, and set it to that.

[Jack_Bread]

Ah. I didn't notice that. :O

Is it working now, though?

[Wiseacre]

Ah. I didn't notice that. :O

Almost. The recruit won't take his color. Any ideas?

(Also holding out hope that someone can tell me why the armor won't forge.)

[Jack_Bread]

You have: [RECRUIT:BOTS:1:1:AS_IS:ADD_COLOR]
It should be: [RECRUIT:BOTS:1:1:AS_IS:DEFAULT]

I just noticed that. xP

[TerminatorII]

I gurantee that the reason you cannot forge the custom armor is in the entity file. Or specifically the entity file is pointing to the items but it's pointng at the wrong .txt file. I had this problem once but I don't remember how I fixed it. ( I was trying to sort all the colothing types out of the standard .txt and into .txt based on types. so all gloves with glves and pants with pants etc. been a while since I messed with that tho.)

You are a lifesaver! Round and probably in tropical flavors. Your suggestion totally worked, and now the platings are in effect. Getting some wonky behavior off of gloves, helms, and other bits that aren't supposed to layer, I guess, but hey! At least some of it works now.

EDIT: Just consolidated helmets and boots.

Gonna tie up some loose ends and update the front page.

EDIT2: After I make some more bot tiles, I'll wrangle with DFFD or whatever it is.
