DWARF FORTRESS TILESETS 2017 CODE
Overview and installation Character sets Ī character set is an image in BMP format that contains the 256 different tiles, corresponding to the IBM Code (sometimes called Extended ASCII), which are used to display the main graphics. 2.1 How colors other than white and magenta work.
DWARF FORTRESS TILESETS 2017 HOW TO
1.4 How to increase number of tiles shown keeping the tile size the same.1.3 How to stretch the tile sets for bigger display.Searching for a desired resolution, sticking into LNP and switching tilesets/color values (because sometimes all you need is more contrast and to fix the awful dark blue) before launch is a good use for the launcher. For that case, Taffer's 9/18^2 has been polished for a while. Personally, I find only 80 tiles a bit too small a number, though. If you like default curses, you may be interested in vectorized larger variant. There aren't many 24x sets around either, 16x16 is most common I believe. map tiles being 24x24 and text tiles being 18wx24h). Though at that scale you'll have to use third of screen for sidebar menu, so might want to use TWBT plugin with a thinner text tileset (i.e. 1920/80 = upper bound of 24 tile width before it starts squishing. That will still resize to smaller if you go below 80×25 viewport though. To avoid stretching, I like to set BLACK_SPACE:YES and ZOOM_SPEED:0 in init.txt. Also, print mode is set to 2D with TrueType Fonts set to 24 - no idea if that's optimal but that's what it's set on. :(Įdit: I'm unsure if I'm using TWBT or not. if I sound weirdly passive aggressive chalk that up to a lack of coffee and the last cranberry muffin being eaten before I got to the kitchen. A few tweaks might resolve the issues and make it a lot nicer experience-wise. If something doesn't feel right (text that isn't easy on the eyes, difficulty seeing little details, etc) you don't have to just deal with it. Just remember that it may take some tweaking to get a tileset just right for you. Anyway, I hope you find what your looking for - a good tileset can really improve the experience. What I've been using has suited my needs so far. all I know is I wanted an ASCII tileset that was ASCII and not "lets call it ASCII but its heavily modified" sort of deal that was easy to read, wasn't very zoomed in (or out) due to scaling, and was close to vanilla. A tileset that fits your resolution should look just as good on 28 inch monitor as it does on a 15.9 inch monitor (I've tested on both). and there are a lot of tilesets that don't scale well size-wise with 1920x1080 out there. A 15 size tileset divides into 1920 x 1080 cleanly, whereas a tileset with a size of 18 would not (which leads to scaling problems). the size of a tileset absolutely matters. It's clean, crisp, readable, and it fits my 1920x1080 screen perfectly without any scaling issues. The pre-included colors aren't bad, but I wanted a color scheme closer to vanilla. I named it "Nagidal" so probably from "Nagidals Classic ASCII Tileset" - either way, it's much more bearable than the atrocious color vomit from vanilla. Rc15 for the font, curses_square_16x16 for the graphics font, and a colorscheme I got from some other tileset. I use this, specifically the rc15 version.
