There's a discussion about how to improve this page in this forum thread. King Mir (talk)

TWBT

Should this page perhaps have a mention of the Text Will Be Text DFhack utility? It mentions how one should avoid modifying certain tiles, but TWBT fixes that. Xolroc (talk) 16:02, 26 April 2015 (UTC)

I'm not sure. In general I personally think wiki pages explaining parts of DF should be strictly vanilla (which doesn't exclude pages about mods and utilities of course). Notwithstanding that, it still seems to me that TWBT isn't quite mature enough - especially for adventure mode - to mention it.CLA (talk) 11:23, 7 November 2015 (UTC)

Check for completeness

Reminder to myself (or anyone else) to check if the items on the Tool page are already mentioned here once I find the time to do so. It could be that the tools that some night creatures use in adventure mode aren't in the list yet.CLA (talk) 11:27, 7 November 2015 (UTC)

Done. Pouch, Mortar, Bowl, and Pestle were missing; added Tool link to Cauldron. Will also write comment on the tool page to cross-check with this page.CLA (talk) 21:56, 9 November 2015 (UTC)

v0.42.01 changes

new tiles in 42.01 are:

scrolls: 236; quire, bookcase: 240; scroll rollers, book binding: 246; <-can all be changed in raws.
sheets: 245 (can't be changed)
new status icons: 034
245 isn't an unused tile anymore

Missing information about colors in "Creating a custom tileset"

The section about creating a custom tileset does not specify which color should be used for the foreground, which for the background, if greyscale can be used for tone (and how they are interpreted) and any effects that other colors may have. Salty-horse (talk) 18:51, 7 March 2016 (UTC)

I know, I'm currently (as in, in this very second) in the process of rewriting it. You will find it on the color page. The basics are already there by now. More details should follow during the week. Note that there is a commented out (and outdated) section in the "source text" of this section here.CLA (talk) 20:36, 7 March 2016 (UTC)

Tile #10 "Trunk Interior"

I'm not an expert, but it doesn't look to me like tile 10 is used for the tree trunks. Maybe it's only used in certain varieties? The article says that the tree trunk is configurable in the d_init.txt, but there are no tiles set to use tile #10 in that file. Anyone know anything about this?
