@Alpha you would have to generate a new world, as that is the time when you can select which mods are loaded.

There is also a way to bypass the game's mod loading system to directly place mods into a pre-existing save file. That method doesn't work on some mods as the game cannot handle adding new instances of certain types of objects, and I have no idea whether this mod will work with that method.

@Trainzack: I´m new to this, so maybe a dumb question:
If we talk about installing this mod on an existing save, are we talking about a "Fortress save" or the whole "World Save" that I generated when first starting the game?
I generated a world, started a Fortress Save in it, do I have to generate a new world or just a new fortress to have the mod active?

@Aetini You cannot install this mod on an existing save, or uninstall this mod from a save that was created with this mod enabled. You can get around that by modifying some of the game files (or the files of another mod that's loaded), but that can be kind of tedious.

It really shouldn't work like that for a graphical mod, but that's the way it does work and there's not much i can do to change it, unfortunately.

Ok probably a dumb question but is this compatible with a save?

I'm struggling to remember why I made the preview that way.

yeah the before and after is split diagonally i thought that it was on different stone XD

@Pogey-Bait: The "before" texture has a very dull coloration to it that doesn't draw the eye much, while the "after" texture is brighter. Focus your attention on the walls.

I've looked at this thumbnail over a dozen times and still don't get it.

That thumbnail reminds me of something sussy. Brainrot levels dangerously high.

@J The only way to make this work with 2.5D Perspective Walls is to redraw the sprites in 2.5D.

Is there any way to make this work with 2.5D Perspective Walls?
Trainzack  [author] 25 Jan, 2023 @ 12:19pm 
@Covid Gelato No. Both mods overwrite the same wall textures.

is this compatible with 2.5 walls?

I should note that the color difference is due to different types of stone on the different embarks I used to make the picture. This mod does not change any colors!
Trainzack  [author] 20 Jan, 2023 @ 11:09am 
I've added a before/after picture. The difference isn't as extreme now that the base game's engravings have been improved, but I still like mine better ;D

Agree with below. I will never understand why some mod creators don't have a before and after pic to make the changes obvious.
Leftbones 14 Jan, 2023 @ 10:46am 
Please add a before/after picture!

Awesome, amazing, necessary mod. Thank you!

Can you plz make the floor engravings not a face? I still would like a texture to differentiate between smoothed and engraved, but not a dwarf face. Would especially be nice for ppl who play with other races thanks to mods. I heard them complaining on like livestreams before they don't want to engrave floors cuz why are their humans or elves engraving dwarves into the floor?

As of 40.04, The engravings in the game are much more noticeable. However, I still like my graphics better ;D. For one thing, they decided not to have any textures for engraved inside corners?

Hey can you somehow show old df engraving icons on engraved walls? I miss the non-premium engravings, would be hella cool to have those on walls over the small 2 pixel engravings, either way, thank you and I am subscribing to your guide.

Should be vanilla

Before/After Picture?

thanks dude, haven't used it yet but this seems very helpful.

I thought it was more like 3.1 times more obvious. :rbiggrin:
