Holy... It strikes me now, looking at the previous screenie.... It looks like a darn good looking tapestry. In this case, it might have a title like: " The Squad returns Home". :p

Could absolutely imagine some DF "tapestry" on the walls, depicting some memorable scenes. Coincidence it might be, but it would make for great wall decoration. Heh.

The idea for ore this time was a bright blob of ore with dark bits of stone stuck to it, rather than stone with ore sticking out. Again its complicated by not being able to use any tile magic

You misunderstood my incoherent ramblings.
I meant making the "stone" tile darker, not the stone part of the "ore" tile, sorry that I didn't write it clearer.
But your idea is better anyway, the ore parts of the ore tile should be even darker then, I think.

And the new furnace tile: AMAZING.

[soul4hdwn]

is it me or the letters a bit "fuzzy" looking with the glow and all

[Robsoie]

Yes, for me at the window size and resolution i play DF with, it looks barely readable.
I edited the tileset with an alternative clean font, if you want to give a try :

For me it is much better for my poor old eyes

There's also a version of my font without the glow, packaged with the graphics set.

And yeah, you should be able to just switch over to 0.31.12 if you want.
But we might have another version out in a couple days anyway.

That furnace is hot, WormSlayer. I love it.

I'm still not feeling the sack of clothes or the refuse, though.

What critters should I do next? I heard a cry for wolves... any other recommendations?

So my wife asked me last night to show her Dwarf Fortress.
After checking her for fever and/or demonic posession, I downloaded Ironhand's graphics set, knowing nothing less would do.

I went to sleep around 11 p.m. after showing her a few basics and pointing her to the complete and utter newby tutorial.
When I woke again at about 4:30 a.m., she was still playing, laughing about how she couldn't get a farm properly irrigated so her dwarves were going to die.

Her callous overlord mentality brought a tear of joy to my eye.

Thanks, Ironhand and WormSlayer. I couldn't have warped her fragile psyche without you.

I would suggest to do the mandril since it usually appears everywhere stealing ur stuff . Any animal will be appreciated though.

Looking forward to it ^^

On the subject of the tileset, I'm partial to the Ore icon that comes out of the Phoebus tileset. It serves its function well of looking like a rock while being different enough to tell apart. Don't get too deep into the look of some things, Keep It Simple and all that.

Why do game keep resizing tiles down?
It's like they are native size first launch, but as soon as yout touch window, it size down.
Can't find any setting in init for this. (Blackspace is on)

Err, can't you zoom in with the middle mouse button?

[Thundrim]

I mean mouse wheel. :p

Darn shortcut made new post sorry.

It don't let me zoom in, only zoom out.
It shows only ~16*16 or smaller instead of 18*18.
But right after the launch, before you touch the window, it's 18*18. (It's just don't fit the screen so I have to move it).

Odd, I can zoom in here by moving the wheel towards me. But sometimes it's not immediately responsive? I'm pretty sure the zoom goes both ways though. Try to click on the screen and move the wheel towards you a few times?

[Ironhand]

You can zoom in, but the horizontal width of your screen can never be below 80 tiles.
So if you don't have a horizontal monitor resolution of 1440 or higher,
you won't be able to see the tiles in full resolution.

Sorry...
