Quick questions that could go in the stonesense thread but I will bump this one:

Do you play through stone sense?  Or do you just upload your fort there to see how it looks?

And would mods (like Dig Deeper) work with it?

Do you play through stone sense?  Or do you just upload your fort there to see how it looks?

There's no interface to control the game through Stonesense, it's just a viewer.  It does however directly read Dwarf Fortress's memory space and updates the view fairly frequently, so you have a live view of what's going on.

And would mods (like Dig Deeper) work with it?

Yes, but all the new creatures show up as question marks.

Yes, but all the new creatures show up as question marks.

Just to elaborate, it is exceptionally easy to add new graphics to Stonesense. If somebody created some graphics for the new creatures they could be added without much difficulty. The main Stonesense thread should have directions to add new stuff, over in the DF Modding subforum.

We need screenshots with more crowded, varied, and natural looking arrangements. The ones posted so far often look very industrial-scaled (dozens of identical bedrooms, massive unnatural castles, etc) instead of like a small, crowded dwarven settlement might look. I think the workshops look great and it'd be fun to see lots of them close together in a varied environment.

This would be aided by the addition of colored buildings.

Also, you want more shots like this?

[dyze]

^ yes please, and what an insane amount of statues!
in the future, do consider using another host for your png's, it seems photobucket makes blurry jpg's of them.

[crash2455]

Yeah, I suppose Imageshack actually hosts things for more than like 3 days now.  I'll keep it in mind.

Also, that statue formation is from the Rivercross game a long time back.  It should be in  3 different colors, but whatever, it still looks pretty cool.

Here are a few:

Sweet pics.  It looks like your windows got messed up on image 3, though.

Thanks...  Those windows aren't really meant to be functional, for what it's worth.  They're the eye of skulls and are surrounded by walls on three out of four sides.

Photobucket never does this to my pngs.

The ones I posted earlier were blurry, but that was because I resized them. This one was cropped instead.

Every fort needs a bear labrynth.

That's more bear than labyrinth :o

Nice work.

Bump for Great Justice because I'm enjoying all the screenshots here. I would join in the fun myself, but I use a mac.

Generally, when you bump a thread, you should include some content related to the thread, like this sort of content:

Here's a big ol' mountain.




This largeish apparatus collects rainwater from the the two ponds...



Sending it through a pressure equalizer in this waterway to the heart of my lower fortress...




Which ultimately fails to keep my fountain full, so I have to refill it manually, which involves flooding the lower level. I'd been trying to think of a way to get a farm going down at the base of the mountain, so no harm done.

More pics after I explosively remove some scaffolding from a project I forgot to remove the scaffolding from years ago.

Might as well repost these from the official thread in the Modding forum. All taken before ramps and height fog got added in and before I grabbed Seuss' trees pack, unfortunately. From Undergrotto, my WIP megaproject fort.

The park (muddy plateau), the beach by the lake, a pool, and the trade depot post.


The social sector: The lighthouse, mayor's manor (unfinished), tavern, and glass 'food pyramid' leading down to the glass dining pod over the lake.


Engineering, including the head engineer's aquarium office.


A nice slope leading up to the plateau where the jail will eventually be. Also an overhang.


The magma caldera. The cave there goes down to the DM's dungeon (seen in the last screenshot).


Part of the industrial plaza.


The very plain shrine to Armok out in the middle of the lake.


The graveyard + undertaker's shack. Every dwarf gets a mound, and a statue for a headstone if it's occupied.


Mountaingate, the hollow mountain that serves as the decorative main gate. The current bridge system is temporary.


The DM's dungeon under the magma caldera.
