| Information | |
|---|---|
Stonesense is a 3D visualizer utility for Dwarf Fortress, implemented as a DFHack plugin, that lets you view your Dwarf Fortress world in a classic isometric perspective.
There is an official thread for feedback, questions, requests or bug reports. There is also a thread dedicated to screenshots taken using Stonesense.
For Users
Stonesense is distributed as part of DFHack. The command stonesense opens a separate viewer window, which has read-only access to the game. It can follow the game view, or be moved independently.
Overlay
In DF2014 up to v47.0, it was also possible to use Stonesense as a live overlay of the map in the main Dwarf Fortress window, replacing the usual 2D tiles. The DFHack command for this is stonesense overlay, but print mode must not be set to "TWBT" for this to run. For best results, edit [segmentsize_z:2] in init.txt, and if you are unable to see the edges of the map with the overlay active, try also decreasing or increasing the [segmentsize_XY] - normal values are 50 to 80 depending on screen resolution. The overlay is not working in v50 Steam/Premium.
Stonsense was part of the Lazy Newb Pack.
