Oh sorry I'm doing this using Ironhand's sets... thats why I asked it here. (love it by the way). So I should...
1. Generate a new world in the .43 version of Ironhands.
2. Copy the save file over from my .42 Ironhands to .43.
3. Replace the old save file's /raw directory with the one in the Ironhand .43 save

??

[Ironhand]

No, don't generate a new world.
Not if you want to use your old one.

Do those other two, though.

And I don't think you'll lose much at all.
Most of the changed Toady makes aren't in the RAWs.

[flatlander]

HOLY...!

Seeing the next z level down is .... amazing!

Just a quick mock-up of stones and ores as how I imagine them (no tile magic included...):

First row line: stones
Second: Ores
Third: Gems
Sand, soil
The tiles in the first three rows lines are ascending in value.
With tile magic the "pebbles" and veins would be like the gems, in different colors, while the background remains the same.

@flatlander: Haha, your amazement suits your name. Not familiar with the z-axis, are you?

[Igfig]

Hurrah!  New stuff!

Something I'm wondering about: Have you reserved any tiles in your set for modder use?  It looks like your ¥, ₧, and 255 are unused, but is that a conscious design decision or are you planning on filling those spaces?

Also, I made an animal trainer.



By the way, the real reason I didn't give the planter a hoe was that I wasn't sure I'd be able to differentiate it from the axe that some of the other dwarves are carrying.

[flatlander]

Oh... it works. Thanks guys!

@flatlander: Haha, your amazement suits your name. Not familiar with the z-axis, are you?

Heh. Well... I like it much better than the little dots that were there before. I used to live over here... in the flat land:

Actually Toady made alot of changes to the RAWs in this version.  Basically of the metals have had their values updated as well as a few weapon raws were changed.  Just checked and saw that you hadn't touch them and kept the old RAWs :-(

[Ironhand]

Ah...

Well, in that case, that's yet another reason that 0.43 is just filler.
The next version will be 0.50 and I will be doing the raws all from scratch again.

Until then... I guess you'll just have to deal with what we've got.

[Motigg]

Of course, I still think you two's graphic set is the best there is.  Just figured I'd point it out since it looked like you didn't know.  Keep up the great work

[s20dan]

It shouldn't be a problem, I've been using 0.42 with 31.10, just copy over graphics and 2 or 3 files from the Raws from the Ironhand package.  I think the files you would need are Plant_Standard.txt and a few of the Inorganic_Stone ones.. Mineral/Layer/Soil/Gem. I have yet to notice anything wrong and I believe I have the changes from the latest DF update.

EDIT// Just updated..  WOW  Loving the trick to show the z-level below

[Star Weaver]

You could probably just put the .43 raws in one directory, the .10 raws in another, and moosh the tile data over with the tileset merger program. That's what I'm planning on doing, though my dest directory is going to be the .10 pile of raws and mods I just finished, and my source will include some custom tweaks to e.g. anglermod to use your pretty fish tile right .

Here are the files that toady changed in .10:

The only differences I have found between the Inorganic_Stone_Mineral files is a couple of colour changes, like petrified wood. So it looks safe to overwrite those.  Thats comparing the Ironhand file to the 31.10 file.
  And as far as the other files Star Weaver posted, I don't think you need any of those to use the Ironhand graphics.

Am I doing it right? My doors don't look nearly as nice as the ones a few pages back:

[WormSlayer]

Interestingly minimalist accommodation you have there!

You havent done anything wrong. All those doors are made of materials with either inverted foreground/background, or light foreground + light background colours.

Previously, doors and pretty much everything else just ignored the background colour so you either got nice doors or dark hard to see doors.

I'm still hopeful of finding a solution but for now they will continue to look like that.

Edit: Your dorf with a chef hat is crafting adobe flash animations?

Double edit: Just noticed the mechanic dorf, why didnt I put any spanners on the workshop tables?!

[Passive Fist]

Thanks! That's just a 48-unit Greek cross though, I got it from the wiki

I built some metal doors and they look pretty good, especially the darker one made from iron. The brass door looks pretty gaudy, like you'd expect a brass door to look.
