I've just decided that enough bugs have been solved to have a go at the new version..
But now.. it seems [BLACK_SPACE] does not work anymore for me.
With the 40d version, I could get my screen to show nice square rooms, and circles by using [BLACK_SPACE:YES].
Now, my tiles are stretched. All squares look like ugly rectangles, circular rooms now look like ovals
toggling [BLACK_SPACE] from yes to no does nothing at all.

I'm running on a laptop with a 1280*800 screen

Help?

before, in 40d:


now:

[teloft]

try using a different tile-set

[martinuzz]

I never needed to use another tileset to be able to have square rooms.. Was fine with vanilla.

Wow, I have the same problem. I always assumed it was default.

[Joishi]

When I played 40d, the default tileset used in the config file was one that was NOT square..

As was suggested, I'd open up your init.txt file (under /data/init) and change the tileset to a square one.  The tilesets are located under /data/art

Are you using curses_800x600.png?
Your screenshot looks like http://bay12games.com/dwarves/mantisbt/view.php?id=2628

Try setting black_space to NO and WINDOWEDX and WINDOWEDY to 0.

Please ensure that you have this in your init.txt:

Code: [Select]

[FONT:curses_640x300.png]
and not some other font. If that doesn't help, please upload your init.

[martinuzz]

Yes, Kanddak, it seems that it is indeed related to that bug report. I was using the 800x600 png, as I always did in 40d.

Thank y'all for your replies. I'll guess I'll have a look at the curses_square and the 640x300 font, to see which looks best.
curses square indeed gives me completely square rooms again, yay. I remember people saying though that curses_square has some ugly tiles, but haven't seen them yet.

640x300 is alsmost square, and I do miss my dwarves having beards in it (different dwarf graphic):

[G-Flex]

curses_square_16x16 has ugly tiles because it's just a mechanical upscaling of one of the other fonts; obviously, this doesn't result in it looking the best (straight lines aren't straight, things are oblong that shouldn't be, things aren't symmetrical that should be, etc). There are a ton of 16x16 tilesets on the wiki's tileset repository, though, including ones virtually identical in style, so it shouldn't matter much.

[martinuzz]

Sure is a lot of tilesets on the wiki nowadays...
What would you recommend, for vanilla 800x600 lookalike?

Judging to descriptions, I should use Sappho's old 16x16 res 1280x400 tileset?

EDIT: Yay, looks like it!

I personally feel Marble Dice's tileset to be the best 16x16 while being as true to the original as possible. Though it does use the smileys instead of dwarf heads. I feel it achieves squareness without anything appearing squished.

I just took curses_800x600.bmp, which has not been stretched, converted it to a PNG and saved over the stretched one.
