Hey frost, yes go ahead please.

I haven't been anywhere near a computer to play DF or update the mod myself in quite a while. I'm glad you and other enjoy it. Thanks everyone for their kind words.

Hey man, first of all, i'm a big fan, i never played a single game without this mod, thank you.

I made a little mod with some different engravings graphics, do you mind if I use your PNG as a template? My mod will be dependent to yours, since I didn't change anything else.

Please update, it stopped working since yesterday when 51.13 was released

This is great except it does not appear to have different graphics for engraved constructed walls!

FOR ANYONE NOT SEEING ENGRAVED PERSPECTIVE WALLS!

I figured it out. Regardless of what your "Obvious Engravings" setting is, the tiles ONLY load and show the "obvious" tile sheet. Which the mod does NOT replace.

FIX
You have to go into Steam\steamapps\common\Dwarf Fortress\data\vanilla\vanilla_interface\graphics\images
Replace wall_stone_engraved_obvious.png
with wall_stone_engraved_perspective.png
which you can find in Steam\steamapps\common\Dwarf Fortress\data\installed_mods\perspective_walls (25)\graphics\images

This is driving me crazy how poorly DF handles mods.
Ive literally replaced the vanilla file for stone walls engraved.
Deleted the installed mods folder (because sometimes it prevents mods updating).
Created brand new worlds.
Still, engraved walls will never use the perspective graphics..
Even when the VANILLA file is REPLACED? Where is my game loading the engraved wall sprite from? Lol its insane.

I dont know why but engraved walls aint working for me.
I am using https://gtm.steamproxy.vip/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=2903048024 and Detailed Environment, as well as Rounded Hills and Transparent Glass.
But i dont see why those should affect it since smoothed walls look 2.5d'ified but engraved doesnt.

trees?

I think this mod is by far the best on Steam so far as a much needed overhaul of walls and graphics so I can clearly see what level I am on. Seeing a wall being a wall makes it so much easier to understand what I am looking at including level wise as well. For the most part. Everyone should have this mod.

doenst work anymore for me

Amazing mod!

This should be default in the game.

Is it just me or do fortifications look a little wonky? particularly when there's a door that opens and closes next to it frequently.

Anyways it'd be cool if one day walls transition into ramps nicely instead of looking like you can't walk over them.

Just a heads up, after todays beta update wich added pebble stone graphics, this mod is no longer working. Please update!

Man, i cannot play this game without your mod anymore, thank you!

That said, I've been trying to make graphics for the engraved metal walls, but I keep getting a error of "Unrecognized tile".

I'm not a modder in any sense, so I just tried to add a "METAL_BARS_WALL_ENGRAVED" in the graphics_tiles and tile_page_environment, and got no lucky. It seens that the engraved metal walls do not function like the stone ones, do you know if it's even possible to do this?

Honestly my favorite graphics mod out there for DF. Simply being able to see the walls make the game's environment a lot more pleasing to look at, lol. Also, finally makes wall engraving worth something to the player, since now you can actually see your dorfs' work! Love this mod.

I wonder why this isn't in the base game, the devs should collaborate with you and include you in the credits IMO. Thanks for your hard work!

Hey! please consider adding paypal support to your contribution page :)

A must have mod in my every fort, great job! but puttiing more than 3 fortifications in a row looks wierd

Such a simple idea, done very well.
good job!

This is great thank you!

No rush mate!

Thanks for the update mroberts271! Ill take a look into this shortly.

A few more details on issue below - it doesn't affect old saves, and only affects stone. Wood fortifcations still work - but oddly with the old (non-perspective) graphics. All other perspective walls are still working though

Great mod! I have the same issue as Kodo - although it doesn't replicate in every fortress. Oddly in my last play through I made a wall of three fortifications - 2 were normal, but the third had the blank square bug, and every other fortification I made afterwards had the same issue. Odd.

This is absolutely gorgeous, great work.

i just started the game, it help a lot for new user like me! good aesthetic ! keep the great work and never abandon this gem of a mod!

No worries! I hope you enjoy it!

I'm dumb! It was the module order that prevented me from starting the game with Perspective Walls; however, I still think it's very confusing that it lists that issue with the same severity as it lists the non-compatibility with a mod that is not even downloaded.

I hope this helps out anyone in the future (I saw quite a few people got confused by this in the past), and thank you for the quick help! Mod looks awesome. :)

Hang on Zaknod; you know that if a mod (like mine) defines a list of mods it conflicts with, the game tells you whether or not you have those mods? its not saying you have Obvious engravings installed, its letting you know that it conflicts with that mod (if you were ever to install it)

@Thomrade But I did not have Obvious Engravings enabled, subscribed, or even installed. In fact, it was not even in the mods folder, or the installed mods folder.

@Zaknod, yes it will conflict as Obvious Engravings overwrites the textures used for walls. Its not possible to have both obvious engravings active alongside this mod, sorry :(

I uninstalled the entire game, and moves it to a different drive, and it still "Conflicts with obvious engravings" :/

Cannot believe I didn't have this already... Thank you!

I've been using this since I purchased DF on steam, and I must say is the best, most cohesive and logical graphical mod, should be vanilla

Does this work with smooth walls look constructed? Or will smooth and constructed walls look mis-matched still in this perspective?

Ill take a look into it again @Kodo, and see can I find whats causing it!

@Thomrade I'm using 20firebird's Pale Birch, Ketaros Stone Variations, Detailed Landscapes, Bourbon's Dark Floors, Bourbon's Dark Depths, and Metal Plate Floor. None of these showed any conflicts with your mod when I created the world though.

From what I can tell it only affects fortifications, no problems with anything else.

Sorry about the late reply @Dark Neuron; Yes, the 'conficts with obvious engravings' is to let you know that they both modify the same files, so you shouldn't install both together.

@Kōdo, interesting, I haven't encountered that bug myself, and I cant seem to replicate it. Are you running any other mods etc?

Or is it just a statement, so I know not to install "obvious_engravings"?

Just subbed for this as the only mod, and I get the same problem as Planewalker: "Conflicts with obvious_engravings" and I only have vanilla mods.

This is on windows. Could it be the SDL2 update?

Fortifications are just a blank square for me https://i.imgur.com/9C6G6yF.png

Thanks, @THE WIZARD, I apprecate you coming back to say that!

coming back to say i love this mod so much. cant imagine not using it. thank you

I'm fairly sure it has to do with linux/proton, so no worries.

It's a neat mod anyways, thanks for trying to help.

Apologies @Planeswalker, Ive been trying to reproduce it myself here (Im on windows) and despite unsubbing, resubbing, and a whole reinstall of the game with just this mod active I cannot reproduce it.

Ill keep looking and see can I reproduce it myself or find someone who has similar issues. Apologies again for this!

Tried with only your mod and it still crashes.
-checked that the files were in the DF mod folder and everything is in place.
I'm running via proton on linux so i might just have to wait for a native linux build. XD

Hmm, I haven't looked at stoneworking expanded, there might be some file overwrite conflicts if that is editing any of the raw files that deal with wall graphics.

Cleared both mod folders and re-subbed to all mods, then started and closed the game.
When generating a world It still gives the same error message(missing tileset) & crashes. x|
(it still says conflict with Obvious Engravings which i don't have)

I do have "Stoneworking Expanded" so will try to disable that first.

@Planeswalker:

Can you unsub and ensure that the following folders are not present:


steamapps\common\Dwarf Fortress\mods\2913113231 (25)


steamapps\common\Dwarf Fortress\data\installed_mods\perspective_walls (25)

I know sometimes when you unsubscrube via Steam Workshop it doesn't actually remove the files that are present, so the game can still load them.

Did you have Obvious Engravings installed at any time?
