Alright, here's what diagonal walls look like.
I personally like the square ones better, but these will be included as a separate sheet from now on!

Those look pretty good. I wouldn't mind them being the standard, even if technically they are thinner when put at an angle

[Patchy]

The diagonals might look better on your old wall style. Might be something to try out and see if ya like them. Anyways thanks for adding them in. ^^

[Jeoshua]

Choice is good.  I personally LOVE these walls.  They'll make the spherical stuff I like making look alot more natural.

Some of those diagonals look pretty odd thanks to sudden shifts in which end is being "lit up".

The southwest-to-northeast direction diagonal wall near the bottom of the circle, for example, is lit from the southern side of the map, while the east-to-west wall to its left is lit from the north end.

It might work out better to pick a direction the light is coming from (like northeast, since that's where the light is on your other walls), and make southwest-to-northeast walls have a nuetral shading on both sides of the wall, and southeast-to-northwest walls have a more highly contrasted shading.

Beautiful!  Now I am even more excited about this!  Ironhand, Thank You.

That's a good point Kohaku.  Maybe the light should always be comming from one of three directions, depending upon the orientation of the tile:

This would adequately simulate the light comming from top left of the screen, which is very standard for any art you'll ever see.

I'd also like to request a pic of the walls with them double thick. I will often times build a wall double or even triple thick so I can place a niche in it to hold a statue or something.

[Newbunkle]

Mmm, nice new walls. I think I'd rather stick with square ones than diagonals, but it's nice to see the engravings on them!

[Slugman]

Ohhh... this is just awesome! A day ago I was still wondering whether there will ever be a new wall tile and now you have already made one AND diagonal walls too (!) which is even more awesome because I tend to build round towers and mine shafts all the time. :O

I think a thanks from my side is long overdue. I greatly appreciate your efforts (and Wormslayers too of course) and to be honest without this tileset I probably wouldn't even be playing dwarf fortress anymore. You guys filled the gap for me when RantingRodent stopped supporting his tile set.

[Aklyon]

Awesome walls!

[Ironhand]

Here's some more things to look at!



Note all of the following:

- transitions from rough walls to smooth walls!

- pillars! with engravings when applicable!

- perfectly flat smooth floors (outside of room, around stairs)!

- engraved floors (inside room)!



What do you guys think of having flat floors?

[Blah]

What do you guys think of having flat floors?

These smoothed floors look a bit too bland. The old ones are just fine. I prefer the old engraved floors as well (read: the ones in reply #3639).

Wow, i got to say those walls are beautiful (as are the floor and transition tiles). I love how the walls appear 3 dimensional from either side, great effect.
