Trouble brewing:

I'm using inverted double lines for rails.  Those'll either be distinguished from the hidden engravings walls through a color convention, or hidden engraving walls will be altered entirely.  I don't like single line rails.

That means that walls are going to become very problematic with rails.

[GoldenShadow]

What sort of problem will that cause?

It's an inversion of the tiles use for walls - it means that rails will look like wooden doors do now, or in other words, like just the engravings section of a wall.

What I wouldn't do for full graphics support.

What I wouldn't do for full graphics support.

Or even just support for more than 256 tiles.

Or Ironhand swaps the tile numbers around a bit and fixes it?

[BradUffner]

This picture from another post got me thinking.


Inverted double lines actually look more like triple lines to me.  Inverted single lines should look more like double lines, and nicely handle the walls / tracks problems that tilesets are going to have.

I don't think you can reassign the characters used for walls and engravings.  Unless Toady changes something this is going to be a big challenge.  It's going to be very hard to make a single character look good as a wall, engraving, and a track.

[NW_Kohaku]

Well, if you want to make the case for inverted single-line tiles then now's the time to go to the Future of the Fortress thread and make the case...

I made a suggestion thread, but it got a grand total of 0 replies, so I don't think that may go too far...

I have the bug, which causes some tiles to become black (invisible), and some tiles marked for digging are shown as already digged or unmarked. This is especially annoying when dealing with menus, like cage or pasture assignments, because I can't see whether certain animal is caged, pastured or free. Also some lists, like health status, has these bleeding void patches. The missing tiles are sometimes seen for a short moment after highlighting, but usually highlighting makes things worse, because more tiles are disappearin. When I'm taking screenshots, or just minimizing-maximing window, some of the affected tiles are redrawn. Has anyone experienced that? To prevent it from occurring I need to disable TrueType. In version 0.31.25 I also had to disable TT, but the reason was incorrect handling of some characters, which was causing crashes, not to mention truncating strings. In version 0.34.07 there are no crashes and truncations, but there is this bug, at least on my machine.

Always downloading a fresh-DF from Ironhand is the solution for MOST problems. Dont know if this is the case....

Yes, I do.Everyone has it, disabling TT fixes it.

I think it was fixed but later Toady messed up it.

There was a persistent issue where TTF would crash the game if a string was too long to fit on the screen.  When this was fixed, the "some characters are blacked out" bug was introduced.  Personally, I prefer this over the crashes, but it's a work in progress.

[shinkunosuna]

Oh so that's what it is, the true type font acting up.  Yeah, I tried disabling it but I don't quite like the look as much.  I do hope it gets fixed one of these days.

I totally agreed with you, TT font on this graphic set is really nice,I dont like non-TT fonts at all (no offense ironhand).

Anyway, is ever this graphic set going to have mod support, like to Masterwork (I dont play it) or other mods out there?
