no, it looks like Mike has to go through and change the raw entry for every creature type, so it will look for the new graphics (rather than just printing 'c' or something).

[FuzzyDoom]

Just give him a few hours and he'll have the newest version up. He's here and he's working on it, so be patient.

Hokey cokey.. Some of you might remember that I was a failure at changing the raws last time, this time I actually used a diff/merge tool, so I am *hoping* that this is right.#
One thing to note right off the bat - there appeared to be a crapton of unicode chars in the new language raws - I don't know if this is intended by Toady, so I left them. Mostly vowels.

Here is 0.31.18 for LINUX updated for Mayday Graphics:

Code: [Select]

And here is 0.31.18 for Windows, also with Mayday Graphics:

Code: [Select]

http://dffd.wimbli.com/file.php?id=3426
Also, gazj - I see no mention of replacing tile-values in your shell script - if you could add that though (Or I can have a go at some point), your script would be perfect.

.18 is out! Is there any easy way to merge vanilla with mayday's graphics? I heard that the default method will touch the raws, that could have been changed from .16.

yeah, this neat diff tool here worked again: https://github.com/rofl0r/df-mayday

just in case kaolbrec's package doesn't work too well, or you dont want to use binaries from an untrusted source, i added some information to the readme how you can create a redistributable DFG package easily.
and without the need to redistribute binaries. which makes the package multiplatform and slim (700KB)

Your concern for security is impressive, but I hardly think someone who didn't know what a diff-tool was a month or so ago (me) could reverse engineer the binaries and add malicious code (and if I just replaced them, it'd be a bit obvious).

that's actually pretty easy, you can profile the exe about unused code and place the payload there, or in some data section. than you place a jump in the startup code and jump back after your payload gets executed. i know how to do this since 15 years, and it still works the same.

btw: you should really make your packs with my tool, it also fixes accents for you.
it basically generates a 100% clean mayday like distributed by mike, by running one shell command. you should really take advantage of that.

I wouldn't even know where to start with this "profiling" thing. So it's easy for you, not for me

By accents you mean the unicode chars? Don't we want them in names? For.. exoticness? (Other than the "levers and crap in names" side-effect).

I will have a look at this tool you speak of though.

EDIT: Would I be right in saying that your .diff file only works if the line numbers don't change? (They have this time - creature tiles are not all on the same lines due to new lines being added).

yeah, actually they're stripped in the original DFG as well, afair

nope, i created a context diff (diff -c) with one line of context above and below the actual line (diff -C1). it happens that this is a very suiting setting for the kind of configuration file DF uses. if the line number changes, the context is still sufficient to find the actual line of code. if the script tells you that diffing suceeded, you can be 99.9% sure that everything's alright. you can see from my commits that i didn't change the diff a single time from .14-.18, although some lines have been added/changed in the raws.

[kaolbrec]

That's pretty cool. Removing the accented characters is as simple as replacing the default lang files with the mayday ones, so anyone who is unhappy can either put up with it or change it easily.

I guess I should check for differences between my raws and yours, before someone comes complaining.

i wouldn't recommend this, since the language files get updated eventually (they were i.e. updated from .12 to .14)
my script calls a perl script named charfix.pl, which does it for you (it simply replaces characters like ö with o, ü with u and so on)

[hemmingjay]

Are there any Mayday packs for Windows AND with the fixed accent chars AND version .18? Thanks.

I'd fix it, but I'm in windows right now, which for some reason doesn't seem to want to even display the unicode chars in notepad++, so not for a few hours. No doubt anallyst will advocate the use of charfix.pl again, but I'm gonna pull an excuse out of my ass and say I don't trust code I can't understand Plus I can't see where you give it the file names anyhow, and if that's done in the main .sh file, I can't run that in windows and I'm not installing cygwin just to do so. I'll reboot later and then sort it out.

here you go https://github.com/downloads/rofl0r/df-mayday/dfg_18.zip

just unzip into your DF .18 dir

[anallyst]

doesn't seem to want to even display the unicode chars

they're encoded in hex, at the beginning of the .pl file

I can't see where you give it the file names anyhow

thats done by apply-charpatch.sh

I'm not installing cygwin

you're missing a big WIN then. a complete unix env. on windows. it rocks.
