I want square acsii
« on: March 28, 2012, 12:24:59 pm »
How do you change the vannilla graphics to be suare?

They are rectanguler to start with and this annoys me my rooms and halls look weird when I build horozontaly.

Press F11. :)

Or edit /data/init/init.txt
See where it says "This is the size and font for windowed mode.  Changing to the 800x600 font might make you happier."
Change it to 800x600 and be happy. :)

Fullscreen does not work on 600x600 either.

Are you supposed to change the third numbers also?

You'll want a square tileset. Here are many choices. My fav is kjammer_square.

Change [FULLFONT:curses_800x600.png] to [FULLFONT:curses_square_16x16.png] and that should fix your problem.

Well roy I got that to work but it is still rectanguler, the dorfs do look different.

Might just look for a different tileset altogether.

EDIT:Just gonna get ironhand.

If that didn't fix the problem then my guess would be that you either have [BLACK_SPACE:NO] instead of [BLACK_SPACE:YES] in the init, or you a different resolution from the default and are forcing it to stretch the tiles rather then layer more.

Ok don't listen to the people above. 800x600 is not square, and the 16x16 default is a warped stretch of the 800x600, and therefore it isn't really square either.

This is what you want to do find a square tileset here:
http://dwarffortresswiki.org/index.php/Tileset_repository

I'm also going to shamelessly self promote my square tilesets I have quite a few in different sizes:
http://www.bay12forums.com/smf/index.php?topic=89856.0

But make sure the tiles are equal, 8x8, 9x9, 10x10, 12x12, 16x16, etc.etc. the numbers need to be the same for it to be square. "Save the image as..." and save it into your DF-data-art folder. Go into your init and in both these sections:

[WINDOWEDX:80]
[WINDOWEDY:50]
[FONT:name.png]

[FULLSCREENX:0]
[FULLSCREENY:0]
[FULLFONT:name.png]

Replace "name" with the name of the tileset you saved. So for example if I DLed my 10x10 plague tileset, it would be:

[WINDOWEDX:80]
[WINDOWEDY:50]
[FONT:vpt10x10v1-5.png]

[FULLSCREENX:0]
[FULLSCREENY:0]
[FULLFONT:vpt10x10v1-5.png]

Although always make sure the file you DL is a PNG or BMP as well, because if it's a BMP you'll need to change the .png into .bmp, and likewise.

Is there some reason you have name.png.png in two of your examples?

I've always favoured Dorten's, because it's small, square, ASCII based, and has very nice smoothed walls.
