Transparent (Glass) Floors
Makes glass floors more transparent!
Had a thonk about graphics and the vanilla glass floors being slightly transparent and realized the game is fine with you using transparent png’s on the sprites and tiles themselves.
So I figured, why not make the glass floors more like glass floors?
By default this will replace the vanilla glass floor tiles with one that’s 50% more transparent, but I’ve also made a custom seamless borderless version of the three tiles as an alternative, as well as different levels of transparency to use if you think the default is too transparent/not transparent enough.
You can find instructions for that in the readme file, don’t worry though, it’s an easy change.
Steam ID for this mod is 2978122014, but it’ll show up under Dwarf Fortress/data/installed_mods as transparent_floors (1) if you activate it once in the ingame mod menu during world gen.
The load order for this doesn’t really matter as long as it’s AFTER anything that changes the glass floors specifically.
Oh also, remember that the transparency of the glass floors isn’t the only thing that affects the visibility through them.
You also have a "fog" when you look down into lower levels, and iirc that "fog" is also a transparent png, so if you still think glass floors look iffy you could try looking into adjusting the fog as well.
