Hm. I've been having a major crash issue due to TTF in my fort, hopefully that gets fixed soon--looking at Ironhand's with TTF off is kind of lame with the huge text.

[Ironhand]

Just got back inside from a dorm fire drill. = P

It seems that the fates are conspiring against this release.

But we are almost there!

I'm downloading the new version now and updating raws.

Then I just need to make the new smooth-rough transitions, and we'll be good to go!

You are a wonderful smexy Llama!

[Ironhand]

Boom.

When I said they'd include rough-smooth transitions, I lied.
The ones in there are the old ones, so they look bad right now.

I will fix them tomorrow.

Remember, all this stuff is really just pre-releases for Friday.
(That's when you'll get all the new critters and stuff... which aren't done yet)

But yeah, the new walls are in there, for the most part.

If you want to use diagonal ones, either go into data/art and switch the name of "ironhand_diagonal.png" to just "ironhand.png"
OR go into data/init/init.txt and switch all instances of "ironhand.png" to "ironhand_diagonal.png".

Enjoy!


EDIT: Also tomorrow, I'm going to explain a new tile magic technique that I'm using now on the TILE MAGIC thread.
So if you're a pixel art developer, you should totally drop by and check it out. That'll be afternoon or evening sometime.

[LordBadger]

I don't post to often, but I had to say nice work to you! I really dig this tile-set and the speed you get it out at. Thanks Llama.

[Ironhand]

Cool.

I'm happy you're happy.

[Jeoshua]

We're happy you're happy that we're happy.

I'm amazed that basically all of DF that is great is going through this amazing update cycle here.  Truly we live in great times.

[Rushmik]

Oh oh, new walls?
Anyone mind posting a screenshot? I'm at work right now with no access to DF.

This is looking great. I think I like the crenelated diagonal walls even better than the square ones.

As long as Baughn is floating around, any updates on the tile shaders you were working on? There were those comments about liquids not being flush with diagonal walls and square floors on top of diagonal walls, and I couldn't help but think the tile shaders could solve that.

Spoiler: Ironhand hugging Yuno Gasai (click to show/hide)

I just want to point out that Yuno Gasai is an infamous yandere (she's the freaking image for the yandere page) and is fully capable of cold-blooded murder. You really, really shouldn't hug her.

[Baughn]

Yes, hug Recette instead. She's fine with it. ^_^

The shaders, eh..
I'd say half done? I had a prototype working, but it got so completely unmaintainable (and not TTF-compatible) that I pretty much have to rearchitecture the drawing code entirely. This is not a major problem, however, and does not mean you'll have to wait another year. I'll have it out within a month, probably sooner.

I also think I'm going to cut the drawing modes down to just 2D and shader. It's been a while since last time, and basically everything supports shader mode now, including the in-CPU shading units in my new laptop.

I was wondering where you had gotten the new avatar. Recettear, right? That looks like a fun game. I'll have to look into that.

Good to hear they are still being worked on. I'm going to ignore you said anything regarding when it would be ready, though; These kind of things, going with a simple tautology is best I think.

Hope the image isnt too large..
Edit: Image quality better now (though much bigger file size :/ ) Thanks for the tips Japa!

[BulMaster]

Interesting design you got there too many stairs for my liking but nice enough. Also there is a diagonal version of the walls which might look a bit better on that screen.

That's some very good news
