I have to say that I'm really enjoying the smoothed floor tiles.

New Skull Totem?:   

Skull on a spike with a thigh bone stuck through it and a pair of dangling spherical objects?

[Kazang]

That's awesome.

Haven't posted for a few weeks. Set is looking incredible. I'm a bit out of the loop DF wise - is the latest release fully working now with your tileset or do I have to muck about with settings/use old DF?

One thing: isn't it pretty much a no-no to have rounded things inside a dwarven construction? I think it's pretty heavily ingrained in their ethos to avoid rounded edges because they represent aesthetics over efficiency.

As such I'm not really a fan of those pillars. But the walls, smoothed or otherwise, look really great. You've done a great job on making DF looking totally different.

[Ironhand]

The pillars have already been replaced with square ones. I think you guys will like them.

WormSlayer: that is very cool... I haven't swiped any of your art yet, but it's impressive.
You're honestly cool with me integrating some of these?

[HeliumFreak]

When you do your releases is it possible to get a seperate version that is only the graphics pack so i dont need to keep downloading the client please

[Hippoman]

haha your like the third to ask for that.

[Snook]

Having been a user of Maydays pack for a while now, the graphics from the Genesis mod had me from the beautiful font alone. I figured out whose handiwork it was, and discovered it was this pack here. Props! It looks great, and I think I'm going to go ahead and switch over now. 

[Ironhand]

Sweet, thanks!

HeliumFreak: I keep saying I'm gonna do that, and then I never do.
This next release, though, I promise! If I forget again, bother me until I do it!

[HeliumFreak]

Thanks, much appreciated, nice tile set btw

[WormSlayer]

I'm totally on board with you using any of my tiles that take your fancy!

Here is the modified version of your tileset I'm using right now - I had to make all mine a tiny bit smaller so they line up nicely.

Spoiler (click to show/hide)

Note: While you cant place skull totems like furniture, you can put down a stockpile that only allows finished goods of the type "totem" and set the max bin number to 0.


I think I'm just going to randomly replace graphics that bug me. Obviously some of the more annoying ones are those tiles used for 20 utterly different looking objects but what can you do!

Bit of feedback:

• There were a couple of spots where the drop shadow on the font bled over into the next tile.
• You changed the background for loose stone to an even darker one? It should be the regular rough ground?

[s20dan]

The same tile is always used for smoothed floors and engraved ones.
Smoothed floors have a black background, and engraved ones have a white background.
In traditional tilesets, (and as I did for my walls), the artist punches holes in there so that the white shows through.
I'm gonna do that for floors eventually; I just haven't gotten around to it yet. Maybe for the next version, we'll see.

I had wondered how it was done, thanks.

[Snook]

Having played with this for a while now, I have one complaint: it's damn hard to
see the difference between designated stone walls and the floor (unsmoothed.) Also I feel like the loose stone tile and ore tile should be switched - they look like the other right now.

[izzyryu]

I've got a fort up using this tileset at DFMA, if you're curious how it looks in an established fort. Here you go.

I was also sorta bugged by the fact that turtles and gems share the same tile. I made this wonky-looking dude:



And assigned tile 158 to turtles in the raws. (It's the one right next to the splint/rope reed graphic).

EDIT: Ingame shot:

[WormSlayer]

Skulls are cool! I'm now using this one for corpses:

Also "toys" being displayed as the super mario coin block made no sense to me? How about a shiny little gift box instead?:

izzyryu: I dont see any turtles or gems in that screenshot? Cute turtle though
