Re: The Dwarf Fortress New Release Anticipation thread!
Okay, just how far has this tileset project progressed? I feel the urge to play the game now with that amazing isometric-like tileset. Knocking enemies unconscious and making them vomit will be even more fun.

Re: The Dwarf Fortress New Release Anticipation thread!
It's just started. Here's the schedule:
1)Hans finishes an underground mockup (in progress)
2)we run a few threads with requests for opinions and suggestions
3)we do the suggested improvements
4)We post the refined versions and run polls (do you think it's better than ASCII, would you donate for it etc.)
5) we present the mockups and poll results to Toady and he decides wheter it's worth working on implementing them (this may take quite some time- a few months even!)

Older save games aren't compatible. A couple of boners died. The other six, however, are still up.

"-Obviously, world design is now 3D.
-Town layout is much more random than it used to be. There doesn't appear to be a "main road" anymore, at least there wasn't in the town I saw. Also, there's some creative use of three dimensions, such as buildings built into the side of hills so you can walk on their roofs.
-A new "swimmer" ability is available to your starting adventurer, although I've yet to find any water that's swimmable.
-You can now...dun dun duuuuuun...walk BETWEEN SQUARES on the map without traveling! I don't know if the entire world is continuous, but it would seem so. The downside of this is that it can make it much harder to find things now. If you're looking for a cave, you could very well walk all the way into the next square looking for it (as I did).
-Speaking of, there must be some trick to knowing where the cave's been placed in a particular square, but I don't quite get it.
-Caves are now much, much cooler. They can be made out of different types of stone (I found one made of clay, so the inside was blood-red). They also have much larger entrances (probably to distinguish them from regular slopes). The interior layout has also been changed up. The cave I played didn't have a large starting room but rather a fairly straight path from the start to some branches farther in (which, to be honest, feels more like how a cave should be laid out).
-Damage in general seems to have been given slight tweaks to make your characters a bit stronger vs. the monsters you'll encounter. I managed to take out a giant my first try and, while I sustained some damage, it was no longer the five minute "the shot glances away"-fest it usually is.
-While leaving the cave, my party was attacked by a CAVE SWALLOWMAN. I didn't see it myself, and it got taken out in one or two turns, but I must say I'm intrigued."
Hahaha, I just started my new fortress- near a river. Those idiots are on top of the cliff, while the river is down in the valleey. Shit!
I only fear that someone like toady, someone who programs a game like DF in his spare time, might still consider things to be fairly non-complicated and therefore might see no need for better graphics, yet. Oh well.
However, I got the new version installed and I'd like to install one of those tilesets already in existance. Can you recommend me a good one? Also, there's something about raw files which need to be updated apparently, but people don't seem to have had time to do that, yet - so will I be able to use tiles now?

Now this was a freaking funny death.
I got my head smashed in and still managed to do a counterstrike.
I loved this. Wish I had more time to play it.

Actually, you can swim anywhere. You just have to walk over things while holding Alt ("careful walk"). Although I've yet to figure out how to dive using </>. Just don't try walking into that semi-transparent cyan tile - that's most likely a big fall.
Mayday said:Hey guys, check out where I started my fortress:
Where've you got these tiles from? I want them.
It's a collaboration between Herrbdog, Guybrush and me (Herrb made most of it).

Be warned- it messes with the interface a little bit- but yes, it works for now.
As for the creature tileset- you'll have to wait, but here's how it looks for now:

Seems that Staszic deserves its reputation of a first-class school.

Erm, could you give me kind of a step by step description of what to do to get the game to look as close as possible to your screen? I tried doing it by myself, which ended with the game only giving me a blackscreen on startup.
I checked those examples, great job!
Elwro said:
One thing I know for sure is that I'm very glad I went there.Ok... first off, you place the contents of the "tileset" folder in DF\raw\graphics
Then, you place the gb16x16.bmp in DF\data\art
Then you edit DF\data\init\init.txt:
[GRAPHICS]
[GRAPHICS_WINDOWEDX]
[GRAPHICS_WINDOWEDY]
[GRAPHICS_FONT:gb16x16.bmp]
The colour settings are at the end of the file.

That's a great tileset, thanks.
Oh, and this new version is bloody great. I just pitched my first fortress somewhere that looked nice and quiet to discover a bloody great nest of antmen in the mountain. Be nice to get some fog of war back though.
