Very basic Linux question - graphics sets
« on: March 19, 2012, 08:45:05 am »

I've changed the fonts in Linux, but I can't seem to change the graphics sets.

in data/init.txt I've set GRAPHICS:YES and tried changing values to specify graphics files with no success.

I would like to update the character sets in an already saved game. (I've also tried changing some things in the saved folder with no luck.)

Do you have graphics files in {DF directory}/raw/graphics ?

If so, the way I change graphics is by manually switching the graphics_*.txt files in and out.

I think I found the problem. I had downloaded a graphics pack with txt files. They point to civ/elves.png etc... However, the files end with PNG.
So I:
Code: [Select]
for i in *PNG; do mv $i $(echo $i|sed -e 's/PNG/png/g'); done
Unfortunately, the graphics are the same...

Changing the graphics in a saved game just requires you to go to '{DF}/data/save/{YOUR REGION NAME}/raw/graphics' and change the files there. Note: you may need to use [COMPRESSED_SAVES:NO] instead of [COMPRESSED_SAVES:YES] in '{DF}/data/init/init.txt'. I'm not sure if that will require you to regen the world in order to work, or if you can just make that change, then load and save and have it work.
