This is the best graphics set I've seen so far. Absolutely fantastic work here. I just wish it worked better with Civ Forge.

[Harmonica]

Still haven't got round to sorting out what DF I need and using the newest versions of this set, but to see the plants and everything with proper coloured background tiles is really really awesome. Nice work.

Look at the pics:

The first shows that the ice floor is unrecognizable from the wall. The second is a scene on the glacier - the white ice floor would be ok, but look how dark is the snow, it all looks weird, maybe because the snow should be brighter than the ice.

And the "whip vines" are still there.

Those are only suggestions, keep up the good work!

[Ironhand]

Ah, good catch!
I shall endeavor to fix that.

I need to make a new water/snow/magma tile anyway.
And I intended to make it a good deal brighter than it is.

@Harmonica: everything is packaged into the set.
You should be able to just download it and play.
You can move saves from your old games into newer versions;
just make sure to replace those raws with the new ones.

@Adamantine Fist: Thanks! I'm rather partial to it as well.
As for Civ Forge, I've said I'm planning on taking a look at popular mods eventually.
But that's a very distant goal for me right now. What is it that doesn't work well?

New goblins reminds me in some negative way green aliens from ufo. I was like "where is the flying saucer?" when I first seen them in the game.

Maybe if the had some eyes instead of those black places, I don't know...

[Ironhand]

You're right.

I redid his face a bit: Are the eyes still too dark?
I tried doing glowing eyes, but it didn't look quite right...

[Prastary]

I redid his face a bit:

Yes, it looks better!

[Hippoman]

I believe I am still using .21.
Although a long time ago I put both the graphics folder and the thing in art into place and then put hte graphics folder into my save's raws.

When I did that for .30 I noticed a color change but I think it's wrong, because when I played a vanilla .30 It was super brighter.

[Maldevious]

I haven't said it in a while, so I'll say it again: great work, Ironhand! It just keeps getting better. Love the goblins.

Well, mostly the fact that Civ Forge modifies a whole bunch of the standard raw files, and I'm going to have to go through and "harmonize" things. That said, once I'm done I'd be willing to post the modified version up for download to simplify people's lives.

Just the objects folder at the moment. Everything should work properly. The next step is obviously getting the Civ Forge races some nifty new sprites. As to that, might I have permission to go ahead and try my hand at it?

[Ironhand]

You might want to add my tileset and init files to that package.

And I don't mind if you want to draw some sprites of your own.
Just don't be offended if I don't include them in my official pack.

[Ironhand]

Oh, also, what specifies sufficient worth to merit access into the graphics set repository on the wiki?
Should I wait until my set is more complete, or can somebody hook me up with a spot on the wiki?
Now that I'm just using one DFFD URL, all I'd want would be a link to that and a link to this thread.
Can somebody do that for me? I don't particularly want to set up a wiki account or whatever...

[Hippoman]

I would if I new how to use the wikicode stuff. It's super confusing.

[Ironhand]

Hey, I fixed ice floors and walls! You can tell the difference now. Lookit:

[Adamantine Fist]

After several unsuccessful attempts to create something half-decent for the high elves, I have decided that my artistic talent is rather insufficient for the task, and that I can deal with accented uppercase letter 'e's. Now as to the bundling with the full graphics set, I've got it up now, as well as a secondary one if you just want to apply the Civilization Forge mod to a pre-existing Ironhand-enabled DF installation.


EDIT: Nice ice. Has the pack been updated with it yet?
