Some help choosing a graphic set
« on: March 24, 2011, 01:11:56 pm »

I've started up a fortress recently, and I'll spare you the long story, but I want a graphics set to go with my fortress which has already been made.

I tried installing Pheobis (Spelled wrong) and Ironhammer (probably also wrong) but found that it stretched my fortress out lenghtwise.  This kind of ruined what I'd made, so I figured I'd ask what kind of graphics pack I need to be looking for that will not change the dimensions of my existing fortress.

(Specifically: My entire fortress currently fits in a 800x600 windowed frame.  The entire screen shows the entire fortress (no zooming out or in or any of that jazz)   I want to keep it that way, but make it look nicer.)

Any assistance on what kind of graphic set I need to be looking for is greatly appreciated.   The wiki had square and non square graphics packs, and I don't know what the appropriate dimensions would be.

Your best friend the wiki lists 2 non-square graphic packs, both of which appear old and therefore won't have images for a lot of things.
