    [FA,Un] I want me walls back !!

    .. no, it's not that all walls have vanished, but I recently tried latest UN and switched FA 0.3.0 in for 0.2.3 - and walls got switched, too:
    In FA, I get "#" for walls instead of "█" now, but in UN I get the later for normal walls, while the special walls still use "#", "%" etc. .

    Highly annoying ... I really liked the FA wilderness maps with real blocks of rock while in UN the graphics simply don't fit ...
    Is there any way to switch this (back) ?!
    No, I don't have a clue 'bout C, and I'm not starting my own variant.
    Never. Ever.

    In FA, you need to rename font-win.prfx to font-win.prf in lib/pref. I changed this so that vista users didn't get blank walls by default - but I probably should have publicised it more for other windows users. In Un (and in FA too, actually) if you hit '~' for knowledge and then go into feature knowledge and hit 'v' for visuals you can set the features to the appropriate thing.

      I'll be restoring 'normal' walls as a part of adopting the extended fonts that Leon et al. designed.

          Thanks for the quick replay, both of you

          [UN]
          Yet - is there a way to save that setting in UN ? I tried setting granite wall to "#", but saving preference does not seem to save this and I have to do it again every time I start the game .. and there are at least 3 different tiles I have to re-set, so it gets a little bit tedious

          Had a quick try, works like a charm. Thanks !

            You could try saving it to a pref file and then reloading that; if that's what you have already tried, you could actually go in and edit the font-win.prf file directly:

            Code:
            # Magma (slate / solid block)
            
            F:50:2/127:1:A
            ...here the 50 is the index of the terrain (you can get this from terrain.txt in lib/edit), 2 is the colour (you can check what you want from feature knowledge) and 127 is the block character.
