Help Wanted: Graphic Artists for Z+

[Fenrir]

Oh, thanks.

But there is no way to have the font stay the same size while the game shows the 32x32 tiles like in FAangband 0.3.5a.?

That would require 'double tile' mode. It's not yet available in Z+. Yes... I know, I was disappointed too. Mango is currently concerned more with game play, than graphics. I'm just keeping my fingers crossed.

PS. You'll notice a few minor graphic glitches... that, hopefully, you'll get used too. Overall though, even in it's current form, I'd say it still kicks ASCII's butt.

So I'm in, but the long list you originally posted (I guess) is not here anymore and I'm waaay too lazy to start looking into the game itself for what is still missing. What would you need help with?

Thapper, thanks for your help so far.
Attached is the short list of what needs to be done. Current as of 3/31/09.
Anybody can join in. Don't be shy.
04/08/09 That attachment is slightly out of date. All of the hounds have been completed (I think).

Hi buzzkill

I want to say thank you for your effort... i really appreciate it

I have just found a mismatch on DG tiles playing Z+ 0.3.2 with latest tileset installed. In the wilderness just out the first town bushes are visualized as grey domes with a red ribbon ( just can`t figure out what is it maybe a jingasa) ,while dead bushes are visualized as... leather jackets


also rocks are messed up

I wasn't aware of any such problems, and no major changes have been made recently. I'll look into it in the near future. Stay tuned. Do you have the latest .prf also?

I downloaded all the files yesterday from mediafire.com/buzzkill so I presume they are the most recent ones...

Your graf-dvg.prf is outdated. The leather jacket and helmet (the gray dome w/red visor) took the place of some of the older (new) terrain tiles when I relocated them. I (just now) downloaded the graf-dvg.prf from www.mediafire.com/buzzkill uploaded on 04/08/2009 and everything seems to be pointing to the correct graphics.

Check your prf file. Look for the following lines. If these lines don't match, then you don't have the latest (month old) version.

# bush - passable
F:128:0x9a:0xc8 

# dead bush - passable
F:129:0x9b:0xc8

Let me know.

Ok I checked it right now... the file itself is ok

I also checked the file folder and maybe I see the problem now... Vista considers the updated graf-dvg.prf a .txt file and not a "pics rules"... it hasn't even replaced the old one that is probably still used by z+.

I tried to delete the old graf-dvg.prf manually but this isn't working...


EDIT: file extension renamed from .txt to .prf Now it works perfectly.

I wonder where did the .txt come from
