Hi!

That was just for my own clarity. I don't know of a way to make it square without graphics mode on, or using another tileset. That's why I left an other, I guess, lol. Did I miss an option that makes vanilla graphics off square?

For some reason, the new way the game handles output has influenced the way tiles are stretched or not stretched. While you have to modify in order to get square tiles, I have to modify in order to get rectangular tiles - no matter what setting I choose, the game insists on making them square unless the original graphics are already stretched. So, I am afraid that this is just the preference of your computer and there is probably little you (or I) can do about it (^_^;;

Yours,
Deathworks

Lol, nice. Whelp, I removed those size/shape tags, since they obviously are inaccurate :p

Thanks for all the responses guys! Pretty neat, seeing who uses what. The polls not closed or anything, just saying thanks :p

Oh, feel free to change your answers if you like, now that I corrected that. Pretty sure I left change vote on :p

Vanilla, no graphics.

Tilesets look really stupid, sorry, I just don't like them.
