Quick question: What job (dwarf) is this? I'm trying to figure out who killed the daughters brother.

That's a furnace operator.

Working on .10 I hope?

[Jeoshua]

0.34.10 is already working.  There are no raw file chances made, so just take the executable from .10 and drop it into your DF folder.  Done.  Everything is updated already.

[theqmann]

oh, cool, thanks!

I like the stop.  Do the other directions use the other chair facings?

For the track tiles, I notice the background is lighter than the default floor.  Is that a temporary thing, or just something you haven't fixed yet?  If its the latter, I suggest blending the outer most two pixels (based on the 4x  zoom) as the lighter floor next to the track itself helps clarity.

I think inverted tiles can only use dark colors; in the NE corner the brown tracks/yellow floors are of the same material.
I think color 8 (dark grey) seems to be converted to color 7 (light grey) instead of color 0 (black). You wouldn't want black tiles.

Ah, that makes sense.  Since rivers use the tiles non-inverted the shading I suggested above would probably break things.  Well, tis a minimal thing, and looks sweet regardless.

I've been using this since I started playing way back ago but never said thanks. Well, thanks.

You are welcome!

I love what you've done with the rail ways, but honestly it's starting to come to the point that these tiles just don't mesh that well anymore for certain applications.  That's not really something you've done, Phoebus, but a problem with the ASCII.

An example is the rivers.  The smaller rivers look really nice.  But since they look so nice now, the double-line large rivers now look really out of place, like walls in the middle of a field.  I have been trying to make a smaller, thinner version of the walls that match up better when used as rivers, but so far they just look bad.

The double line river are a massive problem because they are both hardcoded and they use both the foreground and background of their tile.
Double line rivers share their tiles with many other tiles including walls.
I think that walls have a much higher graphical impact on the game than rivers.
It's in my opinion that having good looking walls and bad looking river gives a better overall feel than ok river & ok walls.

Of course, I've also created the tileset assembler.
People that disagree with me on this (or any other) subject can use the tileset assembler to easily fix the problematic section of the tileset without having to spend all the work to create and maintain their own personalized tileset.

And this is one of the things that makes your set so amazing.

[Darnis]

Thank you so much for a speedy release, Great work as always.

[RabblerouserGT]

All hail the Phoebus!
Thanks for the quick release.

hm. i'm doing something wrong - i have old track tiles and strange roller tiles(on screen - two groups rollers, S,N,S,N - some look like up arrow, some like table, regardless of the direction)
34.10v00 preinstalled, new world, new tiles for tracks and rolers(arrows) present in Phoebus_16x16.png

any help?

[Airyk21]

downloaded the update from dffd and ran the init updater and save game updater (not sure what the tt off updater does but it doesn't say to run that so i didn't) now whenever i run DF i get an error message before i start that says "not found:data/art/mouse.png" 
also want to say that i love this graphic pack and it's clear that you and others have put alot of time and fantastic work into this thanks so much
