Split the tilesets
« on: January 12, 2009, 11:24:34 am »
How much work would it be to split the tilesets so that the game uses one for the font and a different one for the game icons. It's just a shame a number of really good tilesets mean a lot of the text has letters replaced, and I imagine it's not a major change to fix this.

Would be nice and something not to massive to do I think :)

A graphical tileset and a text tileset would be a good first pass.  The long-term ideal is full graphics support for items, terrain, etc., so that we're no longer restricted to a grid of 256 tiles.

Would it be possible to alter Battle Champs to do this, so it could be easily included by Toady?
