How do I change the default tileset to be square?
« on: March 27, 2010, 07:11:10 pm »

I've checked the wiki and the FAQ, and I may just be blind, but I can't seem to find any information on such. The forum's search function and google-fu have also failed me, so I turn to you. Halp?

Go to ...\data\init, open init.txt, and change this:

[GRAPHICS:NO]
[GRAPHICS_FONT:curses_640x300.png]
[GRAPHICS_FULLFONT:curses_640x300.png]

to:

[GRAPHICS:YES]
[GRAPHICS_FONT:curses_square_16x16.png]
[GRAPHICS_FULLFONT:curses_square_16x16.png]

Mind you, the default expansion is pretty shitty-looking, and even having square trade depots doesn't make up for it. You'll probably want to download a replacement ASCII or graphical set. You should be able to find a whole bunch on the wiki.

And what would I do to use one of the tilesets on the Wiki? Up 'til  now I've only used Mayday graphics, but I'm using a bunch of mods stuffed together this time, so it's not as useful.

As far as I know, you just copy one of the tilesets into the \data\art folder, then alter the init to use it (so if you used one called sweet_dwarves.png, you'd change _FONT and _FULLFONT to sweet_dwarves.png).

Just in case you have no idea what you're doing, you're meant to be saving one of the pictures with the pink backgrounds into the art folder.

No, you change [BLACK_SPACE:NO] to [BLACK_SPACE:YES], or [GRAPHICS_BLACK_SPACE:NO] to [GRAPHICS_BLACK_SPACE:YES].
That's how you change those rectangular tiles perfectly square
