I've taken something of a hiatus from DF for... oh... 3 or so years.

And I got a wild hare to play again, but I would like a good graphics configuration for a resolution of 1920x1080, I probably don't have to worry about it running very slow since I upgraded to a 4ghz i7.

Any suggestions?

[Taffer]

The answers will vary wildly. I prefer 10x10 on both my 1080p screens, but that's a bit of a zoomed out look. The most common are 16x16 or 18x18, so use whichever you prefer. Technically neither will fit nicely into your stated resolution, but that won't make much of a difference".

Just from scrolling through the tileset repository, Nagidal and Sir Henry's look pretty huge.

[Nadaka]

I suppose what I am looking for a 24x24 version of some of the graphical tilesets like mayday or phoebus, which is something I don't see on the wiki. And simply scaling them up will tend to produce unwanted artifacts without a lot of finicky work.

I may just have to go with a 16x16 tileset and increase horizontal tiles by 50% and vertical tiles by what? 250%

You can just set the RESIZABLE option in init.txt and play around until you get it where you want. Then count the tiles and change the init.txt size parameters to make it permanent.

Maybe someone could make a tileset out of Battle of Wesnoth sprites.

The simple answer is that DF is 80 tiles wide, and 25 tiles tall by default, so "fullscreen" will basically mean dividing native screen width by 80.  For 1920 pixels, that's 24, so 24x24.  And that's what Nadaka was talking about, earlier.

Unfortunately, some of us use older monitors and computers, so the most popular graphics are all 16x16 (for older/cheaper 1280x960 monitors) or 18x18 (for 1440x1080 monitors).

I usually use herbdogs or bisasams ascii tilesets.
Bisasam in particular comes with a 24x24 res, meaning it uses the minimum 80tiles width on a 1920x1080 resolution.

Currently im running a non-square set by shizzle.

I was working on a 24x24 tileset with everything, including individual creatures, and I got about 20% into it when I was waylaid by another game, so between that and DF and work there's now no time, but I plan on revisiting this thing in a couple months.

I'm on a 1080 screen here and thought I'd pipe up. 

Your average 1080x1920 screen is going to be some sort of television.  If it's an LCD screen, then strong contrast at a fine granularity over a wide stretch of horizontal pixels can cause flickering, so whatever tileset you choose, make sure it doesn't have many tiles with alternating dark/light/dark/light (the sky tiles used in the default tileset are a good example of this). 

For my own use lately I've been using jolly bastion mainly for the reason that there are no such tiles included, so I'm not getting my eyeballs scooped out every time I see a swath of sky appear.  16x16 means that there is a very large amount of terrain visible if I play with the screen maximized, but I usually play with DF on half the screen and something else open on the other side.

Kids these days. In my time you could count the refresh ratio of the screen by looking away from the CRT.

Technically, you put the "x" dimension first, so a "1080 screen" means 1080x910, and you'd call a 1920x1080 screen a "1920 screen".

To be honest, this also interest me greatly. I would like to see a 24x24 tileset like Ironhand, Phoebus or Mayday.

Speaking of tilesets: I have a 64x tileset in the works, mostly aimed at detailed screenshots and crazy people with 2 big screens next to each other... but I want to do a downscaled version later, possibly 32x and 48x. A 24x version would not be a problem. Downscaling is a lot easier then upscaling.

Here is the thread http://www.bay12forums.com/smf/index.php?topic=123604.0

@arkhometha: Check out arclances tileset resizer, and you can do a 24x24 version of Ironhand, Phoebus or Mayday yourself in no time.
