New solution to old pump/rock/meal problem.
« on: June 18, 2010, 12:53:01 pm »

Hey Bay12vers!

I have been working on a new graphics pack and matching tileset, and I made a change that I think some other people might be interested in. The tileset is here,

Spoiler (click to show/hide)

And I am proposing to the mod community that Tile 37, (the % symbol in between the coins and the Ampersand) can be changed to a symbol like a short cylinder and look good. But, this kind of thing is open to debate. I'm curious if anyone else agrees.

Take a look at it in action. Its already set up in the DF+ Graphics Repack that I've been working on.

Pros
  • Active Pump stacks look a little more cool, (I'm assuming you've modded Tile 246 (÷) to look more like barrels)
  • Prepared meals look much better, like they're sitting in little bowls or crock pots.
  • Petrified wood looks awesome, like an stone tree trunk set in the rock.
  • The short, squat shape can be imagined to be boulder, so it's OK to show up in the black un-revealed rock.

Cons
  • Microcline, orthoclase, olivine, siltstone and others use this symbol, but its not that bad to look at.
