Uh, doesn't mayday have a tile for rough gem thats different from that symbol?

Wasnt sure so I installed it but nope:

[Poot]

Like I said, I refuse to use any other tileset for the time being. I'll be waiting patiently for the update.

[userpay]

Odd, I distinctly remember rough gem not being that symbol(I always used mayday before starting to use this not to long ago). I wonder if it has something to do with the recent releases.

[ungulateman]

That's great news for graphics and tileset makers everywhere.

Also, war gorillas squee.

[Thundrim]

What about just a little broken bone and a splat of blood for "generic remains"?

Aye. That satisfy all primary sensibilities, iconographic demands, and it might even be unique to this set, so the "Dwarven committee of harsh and cruel qualification investigations" grabs a drink and run off to another poor victim out there, probably one of those Cheese Engravers. Huzzah!

i love these new baby elephants

Ah, that's a lot better! It looks quite good now.

[Bloogonis]

My only gripe about it is that most things represented by it have no bones in them, remains generaly boneless, chinks no bones, shell well not an internal bone, teeth and fingers arn't femurs... I dont know what would remedy this the best, ive been imagining something that looks like a tumor, something fleshy that would best fit the tile.


tossed this together, not your pallet or skill but I think it looks kind of like a ball of mangled flesh
with crappy spatter

meh it sucks, but maybe it gives you ideas

There's no need to wait for Ironhand 0.46 to play 0.31.12, if that's what you're referring to.  You can apply the Ironhand 0.45 "upgrade pack" to the 0.31.12 folder and it works as intended.  http://dffd.wimbli.com/file.php?id=2617

The problem is that you won't have any idea what you're looking at operating under this resolution, when attempting to show more organic or finer pieces of refuse in various stages of solidness. Thus realism isn't always possible. The representation on the screen will have to create a general idea of the nature of this tile.

The need for heavy abstraction is paramount. Thus you would need defined contours in conjunction with familiar shapes. The trick is to find suitable objects of this nature, or at the very least put them in a pattern that create familiarity somehow.

Thought I'd chime in, since people were getting a little overexcited over on IRC -

I'm only separating text from tiles. Which is to say that, yes, X is still ambiguous.

But hey, at least Lord Xarfereous's name no longer clashes!

[Ironhand]

Alright, well, we still appreciate it!

Anyway, here's another little something I threw together for 0.46:



Dead dwarves look dead now. Closed eyes, pool of blood.

[Ironhand]

Ironhand 0.46 is here.

Merged with DF 0.31.12!


Partial transparency for rough stone walls, which
- increases visibility of walls in comparison to floors
- allows me a vastly improved multitude of colors to play with, and
- makes designated wall tiles distinguishable from floors and walls.


New tiles!

Kilns/furnaces
Ore (yeah)
Webs
Tables
Sacks
Splints
Vials
...

oh, also:

WAR ELEPHANTS.

And war gorillas.
Both with armor.


Woop~



Enjoy it!

[Ironhand]

The other thing I did with the complete package is I hid all the extra files like the shaders and libraries and stuff.
It will still work just like it's supposed to, but you won't see any extra stuff in the folder. Just data, raws, and the exe.

I think it looks slick.

[Thundrim]

Yarr, release!!! Thanks you two!!!

*Runs off with his Elephant*
