mac clients
« on: January 29, 2012, 04:41:52 pm »
So, I downloaded the basic mac client off the DF website, but its really difficult to tell whats going on with the GUI. Are there any good tilesets for mac out there, or versions of GUIs such as phoebius or mayday that are OS X compatible? Thanks in advance for any useful comments

Uh... there aren't really any graphical "clients". What I think you're looking for is a tileset, which changes absolutely nothing about the GUI except replaces most of the little letters with small pictures.

There's also Dwarf Therapist, but I'm not sure that's what you're looking for. Also not sure if it's for Mac.

Phoebus and Mayday are both mac compatible. You must add them in manually, though, unless I'm forgetting an easier way. Consult the wiki.

I play on OS X with Pheobus. I found that I could just take the pheobus implementation from Genesis mod.
I think outside there there's a really odd system for converting the tiles.

Just to make it clear, the actual graphics used by DF are independent of platform.  They're just standard image files.  The wiki says the necessary format depends on version, but they're just images.  All you really have to do is format them correctly, drop them in the right place, and point DF to them.  Slightly harder than it sounds, though.
