A problem with Guybrush tileset colors
« on: May 15, 2009, 11:22:57 am »

I tried changing my default curses tileset to the original Guybrush tileset from the DFWiki. The colors become messed up, as in the background color of most tiles is pink when it should be black. The letters in the start up screen have a background color similar to the actual text color.

After pondering for a while I noticed that the background pink is a bit different on some of the tilesets on the wiki to the original. Anikki seemed quite close to the original so I gave it a go. It worked just fine. So the problem here seems to be the background color.

Is there an easy way to fix this from the init.txt file or some other file? Or should I just change the background pink to the original color with a graphics software like GIMP or Photoshop. I'm running the game on Mac if that helps.

You'll want to change the background to the original pink.  The problem is that the game is set to recognize exactly one color as "transparent" and even a slight change in tint or hue will throw it off.
