furthermore, natural walls uses both background and foreground colour while smooth walls uses only foreground, unless engraved. First of all smooth walls are directional, while natural walls are not. though by how the game handles graphics, there are a few problems. Thats it easy, Its certainly a good idea. you can add as many creatures as you like to one graphics file, just keep PAGE_DIM within 16x16 the second ID after DEFAULT or CHILD is the TILE_PAGE ID (for example DEFAULT:DOMESTIC points to TILE_PAGE:DOMESTIC in the same file), make sure they match if the creature can be trained also add TRAINED_WAR and TRAINED_HUNTER adjust DEFAULT, CHILD and ANIMATED coordinates to your tile (for example 0:0 for top left), leave IS_DEFAULT when in doubt. last, delete all creatures and add a line for your new creature (make sure its the same ID) now alter the FILE, TILE_DIM and PAGE_DIM to fit your image, FILE is the file name of your texture, TILE_DIM is the dimension of a single tile in the texture, for example 32:32 is 32x32 pixel, PAGE_DIM shows how many tiles there are in X and Y direction open it and change the first line in the file to resemble the name of the file rename it to graphics_yourfancynamegoeshere Go back to the raw\graphics\ folder and copy any graphics_creature file, for example the one for domestic animals You note down its ID, look for, the xxx is its ID Then you look for the creature_xxx.txt file in \raw\objects that contains your creature You create a png file with the tiles for the creatues and place it in the \raw\graphics folder. Not to mention the cleaner tileset & UI is much needed.Adding creature graphics is actually much easier than tiles. With it coming to steam, I can see myself playing it far more often now, as long as the workshop includes all those said programs.

I personally don't play much of DF because it's a hassle having to update not just the game but any programs that are necessary to play it, such as dwarf therapist etc. So steam does not really fill any gap that would be missing.Īutomatic updating is NOT a good thing, because DF saves are often incompatible between versions.

There are good graphics, good sounds and good mods easily available already. The steam version is just a cleaner spruced up version with shiny graphics/ui and all the nice features that steam can offer like automatic updates and integrated modding.

I'm unsure whether you can use a different 'unofficial' tileset/graphics pack with this version, but it's safe to assume you can. Unsure how utilities such as dwarf therapist will be handled.

The steam version will have an optional ascii mode and full steam workshop support, so modders can have a go at this version too. I would hesitate to call it a tileset as from what i read this version has new infrastructure that supports a much wider and cleaner version of graphic assets, as opposed to a strict amount of 'tiles' (i could be wrong here, but it sounded like this was the case). I would consider the steam version of the game to be well packaged and 'cleaner' version, with band new graphics and sfx. The circumstances which contributed to the decision are unfortunate, and i wish then only the best in their health and their success on steam.
