== Your Graphic Set, ==

More specifically the Hammerer, is amazing.--[[User:Heliopios|Heliopios]] 14:09, 19 December 2007 (EST)
:Thanks for your kind words :) -- [[User:Sphr|Sphr]] 23:47, 20 December 2007 (EST)


==Praise==

Your sets are fantastic. Keep up the good work. Can't wait to see the elves and humans sets in proper working order. Once they are up and running I'll create a graphics pack for them with your permission of course.--[[User:Gorfob|Gorfob]] 02:42, 31 December 2007 (EST)
:Thanks.  I am working on human military atm, and once that is complete, I'll probably put it up.  As for the others, I'll usually put them up after I do enough of the tiles in a tile page. You are welcome to repackage the gfx tiles, well, at least those that are done by me.  Do take note that some of those tiles I have not done may still use the ones belonging to Deep Qantas or to DR. -- [[User:Sphr|Sphr]] 09:11, 31 December 2007 (EST)

What you're doing with the templates is very clever. I'm interested to see how you use it. [[User:VengefulDonut|VengefulDonut]] 11:11, 8 January 2008 (EST)
:lol. It's born out of desperation...  our wiki seems too old to support some of the newer parser functions, so I thought I try out some of my meta-programming stuff out here, to try to create something like reusable 2d arrays (e.g. for floor plan).  Dunno how far it will get though. if you are interested in this kind of stuff, here's the [[User:Sphr/test/test3 | test page]] -- [[User:Sphr|Sphr]] 11:17, 8 January 2008 (EST)

Which tileset are you using in [http://www.dwarffortresswiki.net/images/5/52/Sphr_sample_civilian.png this screenshot?] The font is clean and very pretty. --[[User:Jackard|Jackard]] 07:04, 11 January 2008 (EST)
:oh that's a minor test.  I modified guybrush's set to include the kelt font. Can be found here [http://valkyriepub.tripod.com/kelt.htm].  I just replaced the non-accented letters to look at the effects (so my creature names are now a messy mix of Guybrush's levers + the old accented letters + the new kelt font...) -- [[User:Sphr|Sphr]] 07:31, 11 January 2008 (EST)
::ah, Kelt. I could have sworn it looked familiar, but couldn't find it on this computer. --[[User:Jackard|Jackard]] 08:22, 11 January 2008 (EST)

== Minor edits ==

I've noticed you make a very large number of edits to your user pages. All of them show up in [[special:recentchanges]]. However, people can [http://dwarf.lendemaindeveille.com/index.php?title=Special:Recentchanges&hideminor=1 choose] not to view minor edits, which makes the page look much less cluttered. If you would tag your user page edits as minor it would be very helpful. [[User:VengefulDonut|VengefulDonut]] 11:03, 8 January 2008 (EST)
:sorry. was experimenting with declarative functions in wiki.Will do so from now on. --[[User:Sphr|Sphr]] 11:06, 8 January 2008 (EST)

== Experiments ==
Are you trying to reproduce the Template:RT used in the old version of the Wiki? [[http://archive.dwarffortresswiki.net/index.php/RT]] --[[User:Eagle of Fire|Eagle of Fire]] 08:55, 11 January 2008 (EST)
:Hmm.. Which part are you referring to exactly? Actually, call that test of the next iteration of floor plan tiles.  The old RT is decorative (just display, no meaning). I'm trying to see if it can be switched to semantic : meaning that people should just use things like "wall", "door" etc instead of having to hunt down the right tile, color it and display it.  Separating the semantic tiles from the representation also means that when the presentation gets updated, ALL uses of the templates gets updated automatically.  If you are interested, you can take a look at the source for my test page [[User:Sphr/test/test1]].  The source is a little long winded now because I'm using my own subpage which requires a prefix of ":User/Sphr/t/" in front of all template use.  Once I'm done and if it has enough use to be added into the default template namespace, it will take a lot less typing to create a "plan". *IF* it ever gets there :) --[[User:Sphr|Sphr]] 09:10, 11 January 2008 (EST)
::The OOP approach is more suited to adaptability than to save on typing. Ideally there would be a third party editor that generates the wikitext after you have the framework set up. [[User:VengefulDonut|VengefulDonut]]



Hooray for parser functions! [[User:VengefulDonut|VengefulDonut]] 10:48, 23 January 2008 (EST)
:We finally have them installed???  any idea which version and the relevant reference page? -- [[User:Sphr|Sphr]] 21:28, 23 January 2008 (EST)

==Icon usage?==
I was thinking about what to use for a "favorite icon" for the DF file hosting site I'm planning to open soon, and I rather like your graphic tilesets. So, to be succinct, would it be acceptable for me to use one of your 16x16 dwarf images as the site's favorite icon? --[[User:Janus|Janus]] 21:27, 28 January 2008 (EST)
:Prob too late a reply, but feel free to do so if you still want it if you haven't already done.  [[User:Sphr|Sphr]] 05:01, 26 July 2008 (EDT)

==Welcome back==
Glad you're back, Sphr. I love your work and I've been actually checking the wiki every day since the new version came out, hoping it would draw you back. Looking forward for your work.

-:Thanks. I've been looking forward to the new version as well.  I have the DF's Current Development page permanently open in my browser, reading the updates regularly, Then one day, I finally saw the new version announcement :)  Perhaps there will be more opportunities for updates as I restart the DF experience again, since my work is pretty much the direct by-product of my own playing. Regrettably, I'm not really a dedicated content provider like some of the other guys in forum, which I think are doing great jobs organizing complete packs, but at least I can hopefully help to increase the content with which they work with (occasionally).
