Rough List of New Symbols
« on: November 20, 2010, 05:18:20 pm »

New tiles 31.17/31.18
Main focus on travel map, quest map symbols not listed here. Made this to aid tileset makers/users in figuring out wtf, which is why it is in the modding forum.

Code: [Select]
Map, Adventurer Sky
 07 • ??? moon (saw moon flashing as this as time passed)
 09 ○ Sun, obscured by clouds (white, not yellow)
 15 ☼ Sun, unobscured (yellow) *also bandit camp, see "Map, Other"*
 20 ¶ Cumulonimbus clouds (also on map, obscures sun)
 40 ( Waxing moon
 41 ) Waning moon (gibbous/half/crescent)
 69 E East horizon (yellow during sunrise)
 79 O Full moon
 87 W West horizon (yellow during sunset)
 91 [ ??? moon (seen it rarely)
 93 ] ??? moon (assumed, I have not seen it)
176 ░ Hidden sky on travel map (when sleeping underground) *also light mist, see "Map, Other"*
219 █ Total cloud cover (also on map, obscures sun)
219 █ Clear sky (day = blue, sunset/rise = red, night = black)
224 α Altocumulus clouds (also on map, doesn't obscure sun)
225 ß Cumulus clouds (also on map, doesn't obscure sun)
240 ≡ Cirrus clouds (also on map, doesn't obscure sun)

Map, Human Civilization
 08 ◘ Fortress keep
 09 ○ Fortress wall end (1 tile wide fort) *also obscured sun, see "Map, Adventurer Sky"*
 56 8 Fortress wall with gate, replaces 186 ║
185 ╣ Fortress wall (assumed/unconfirmed)
186 ║ Fortress wall
187 ╗ Fortress wall
188 ╝ Fortress wall
200 ╚ Fortress wall
201 ╔ Fortress wall
202 ╩ Fortress wall (assumed/unconfirmed)
203 ╦ Fortress wall
204 ╠ Fortress wall (assumed/unconfirmed)
205 ═ Fortress wall
206 ╬ Fortress wall? (saw in middle of fort, but didn't confirm what it represented *headslap*)
236 ∞ Fortress wall with gate, replaces 205 ═
254 ■ Hamlet, town


Map, Other
 15 ☼ Bandit camp *also unobscured sun, see "Map, Adventurer Sky"*
 07 • Lair (shallow cave for night creatures et cetera)
 35 # Minotaur labyrinth
143 Å Titan/bronze colossus shrine
176 ░ Thin mist *also hidden sky, see "Map, Adventurer Sky"*
177 ▒ Fog
178 ▓ Thick fog

Non-map
 13 ♪ Ladle
 47 / Pestle, Carving Knife, Boning Knife, Slicing Knife, Meat Cleaver, Carving Fork
147 ô Cauldron
248 ° Bowl, mortar
164 ñ Bogeyman (possibly petty/small night creatures in general?)
165 Ñ Night creature (possibly notable/large night creatures in general?)
Code: [Select]
Note on Fortress Wall Sections (╣║ etc)
8 and ∞ are only used for gates if there are no other walls in the way.

For example this on the travel map:
◘═╗
╚═∞

Might represent something like this:
╔══════════════════╗
║  ╔╗              ║
║  ╚╝              ║
║                  ║
║                  ║
║                  ║
╚══════════════  ══╝

But if there is another wall on the same map tile, due to representing something like this:
╔══════════════════╗
║  ╔╗              ║
║  ╚╝              ║
╚══════════════  ══╝

It will draw it on the map like this:
◘═╗

Or if it was like this:
╔══════════════════╗
║  ╔╗              ║
║  ╚╝              ║
╚════════  ════════╝

It would be drawn on the travel map like this:
◘╦○

This however:
╔══════════════════╗
║  ╔╗              ║
║  ╚╝             
╚══════════════════╝

Would be drawn like this:
◘═8
Because while it does have multiple walls on the same travel map tile as the gate, none are parallel to it and thus don't block movement from its direction.


These are the last few troublesome ones. Having not solved them by now, I am not confidant in solving them any time soon.
Code: [Select]
07 • moon: The few times I've tried to get a description of it, I got either nothing or moon of non-specified type partially behind a cloud.
91 [ moon: Almost never seen it. Have not gotten a description of it yet. Maybe eclipse?
93 ] moon: Never seen it, only suspect it due to having seen "91 [".
185 ╣, 202 ╩, and 204╠: Assumed due to confirmed use of "203 ╦".
206 ╬: Seen on travel map, but have not confirmed use.

P.S. If you don't get this note, let me know and I'll write you another.
It's amazing how dwarves can make a stack of bones completely waterproof and magmaproof.
It's amazing how they can make an entire floodgate out of the bones of 2 cats.

Notes about the moon since it has a zillion symbols.

"07 •"
I saw ")" or "(" flashing as this, I forget which. I've also seen it stay as this for a while. I suspect at least one use is partially covered by a cloud. Probably new moon, too.

"79 O"
Confirmed full moon. This is the letter O, not zero or "09 ○".

"91 [" and "93 ]"
I've seen the moon as "[", but not  "]".

Don't know what is used for full moon yet. I just now started using shift-W to check moon names.

As long as you're mentioning ladles, I might as well list all the other tools. Their tiles can be changed via the raws (even the knives and things, unlike regular weapons).

Code: [Select]
13 ♪ Ladle
47 / Pestle, Carving Knife, Boning Knife, Slicing Knife, Meat Cleaver, Carving Fork
147 ô Cauldron
248 ° Bowl, Mortar

I'm not sure what you mean by "look right," since it's still not the same font DF uses.

regardless, the slime shooter will be completed, come hell or high water, which are both entirely plausible setbacks at this point.

I worded that badly. I mean that not everything shows up properly without code tags. The note/ladle is one example, it just shows as a square otherwise.
