I'm just going to stick with .23 for a bit, no doubt Phoebus will get around to updating at some point. Or when .25 comes out.  We haven't been let down yet.

*sneaks in*
SsssooooOooOoOoOOoOOOONNNN!

Poor Phoebus! Lets hope toady gets stuck into the new features release now and gives you a few weeks before you need to release another update!

Like the new changes to the set also. Didn't really care much for the symbols, so the simpler the better (well for gems the symbols are quite handy!)

[Phoebus]

*Updated* 0.31.24v00
Added a new chart symbol for precious metals. All but Iron, Copper, Tin & Bismuth ores will use the precious metal symbol.
Fixed the graphic for cave swallows & fairies.
Titan childrens are no longer invisible.
Changed the tile for top quality gems (Diamonds, Star Sapphires & Star Rubies)

1 - Magellanic Penguin
2 - Emperor Penguin
3 - Platypus
4 - Penguin Man
5 - Platypus Man

I think the only one I really like is the baby emperor penguin.
Penguin man is supposed to be wearing a tuxedo, for no other reason than I thought it'd be funny, but it's kind of hard to tell.
Platypus man is down right sissy.

congrats, i'm now a Phoebus guy. Love your textures!

Hey Phoebus - what tile does Adamantine have? Still "special metal" tile?

Changed it to metal.
The special stone is used for Slade (can't be mined), Obsidian (lava), Bauxite (sapphires & rubies) & Kimberlite (diamonds).

I didn't even notice DF was updated, and Phoebus has an update as well!
Woohoo, I keep downloading stuff. Not that I mind.

Everytime I see that theres been an update, my heart skips a few beats. DF is nearing perfection, and so does Phoebus mental state.

[GhostDwemer]

Love the new, cleaner look. And of course, the INCREDIBLY timely updates. It's almost as if Phoebus really likes Dwarf Fortress and wants to play it with his tileset as soon as possible, hehe. Lucky for the rest of us.

I'm not seeing volcanos on the local embark screen(but i see them on the other two screens), is that a new thing or a bug in df or the tileset?

[Aydjile]

thanks for updated Phoebus!
and please don't forget to update your first post, with new screenshots of your new symbol chart.

cheers!

We are just but humble followers in the Order of Phoebus.

OMG! Bamboo!
Vision of horror!

Wow... toady seem to be hunting bugs now like a ... oops we have spring time and the ampibians are realy croaking outside and .... xxx .... well spring mood. Damned, I never trusted the savegame updater and always started the fortress anew - ARGH, wtf. have I spend 12 hours yesterday to get my embark side (worldgen hadn't changed the side itself in regards to stone, etc. - but history and creatures made my once beautiful embark (.20) into a sinister haunted bad side... sigh... and then finding new seeds, and a good embark party (mayor that can't wish for impossible mandates) took me through that time)... Grmpf.... but thanks again for the GFX Set!

P.S.: I don't mind the stone changes... though I always appreciated Fe and Coal tiles to be recognizable on 1st sight.... and military and other ore seem to be good enough a divider at first thought (but I see that was just a thought) - but besides that iron is the one and only ore essential for steel, and if there may be a tile available I really would wish... yeah... but maybe one day we get rid of this 256 tiles limited set... (or just the hardcoded references).... grumbly, rumbly, rant.... Thanks! (Edit: Sorry, no sarcasm: I am really thankful for the fast update and about most of the changes, and with the rest thats just the usual "german angst" about changes )

P.P.S.:
 Ockad: Maybe none of us know DF Dwarves.... but from all basic Fantasy (Since late '70 times) RPGs I would support that later argument that our average dorf could smell "gold, gold, gold,..." in total darkness and with layers blocking all scientific means of "recognizable" :p in fact besides seeing just the next non-mined stone, there should be vectors that point to all ores, stones and dry/watery and such (with increasing precision how deeper we are from the surface and how closer we get to the source).... so much vectors that none of us human users could cope with :insane:

Smell... gold?
You picked the wrong metal for your example...
