Using punctuation meld tileset.

Sky appears as white trees. Ugh. Help?

Going to try tinkering with d_init and then tileset to see what occurs. will report back.

EDIT: well that solved the problem in quite a cool way.

Changed [SKY:255:7:0:1] and [CHASM:255:0:0:1] into [SKY:" ":7:0:1] and [CHASM:" ":0:0:1] with the result that "sky tiles" are now empty (as if air was in them, not the slightly odd blue squares) with a very faint dot in the middle. Of note is that you can see the layer below in fainter colours much eaiser without all that blue.

You should copy d_init.phoebus.txt over d_init.txt, then change this again:
[VARIED_GROUND_TILES:NO]

OR
Just make these changes to your current d_init.txt
[SKY:32:0:9:0]
[CHASM:0:0:0:1]

already had varied ground set to no...

what would the end outcome of making the changes to the sky/chasm parameters? I kind o flike the open space I have fluked upon...

I really like the new improvements you added Phoebus and just wanted to say thanks for all the hard work this coming from an avid user of your graphics pack its very well put together and aesthetically pleasing, at least for me.

Well done sir!

[veok]

what files do I need to copy to where to move from .25v01 to .25v03?

Way #1:
Download the Graphic Set Package (small one).
Unpack it over your current installation.
Run the savegame updater.
Play.

Hm. Now I have the dead tree graphic instead of the open space. That's... odd.

*facepalms*
I forgot to mention having to replace the init files when using the patch package.

Way #1:
Download the Graphic Set Package (small one).
Unpack it over your current installation.
In the directory "/data/init/", copy "init.phoebus.txt" & "d_init.phoebus.txt" over "init.txt" & "d_init.txt".
Run the savegame updater.
Play.

Edit: I think I'll create... THE INIT UPDATER! *ominous thunder*

[Phoebus]

*Updated* 0.31.25v05
New utility: DF_Phoebus_Init_Updater.bat
New berry bush & long grass tiles.
I've fine tuned all the plant and tree graphics. All underground plants are now individually identifiable.
New egg/sea foam tile.

Plants on a hillside:

[Ockad]

Phoebus, the simplistic beauty of the specific berry- and longrass ISH AMAZUNG.
And an Init updater? You are spoiling me, you are making me lazy, you're turning me into a Fat Princess.

I thank you again, for this beautiful, beautiful update.

[Immacolata]

I really like the new bushes BRING ME A SHRUBBERY!

[Greendogo]

That looks really nice Phoebus!  Great job!

[veok]

Are the "fine quality" symbol and the "floor" symbol inseperable? The new floors are nice, but I like the + sign for quality more than I like the floor for quality.

I don't know if this is because of the init file (above) or not.

And underground plants were already identifiable by color alone

Yes, both smoothed/engraved floor tiles and the fine quality symbol are hardcoded, as are most things in the game beside creatures, minerals & plants.

Okay, would you kindly direct me in how to change the floors back to the + symbol then?
