Spoiler: Phoebus 16x16 text tileset for TWBT (click to show/hide)

Spoiler: Spacefox 16x16 text tileset for TWBT (click to show/hide)

Did you make these?  They're awesome!
...I ask because there's a bunch of stuff that only comes up rarely, like a '#' in the dfhack comand-prompt, which could do with an absolutely-pure tileset in whatever font.  How hard would it be to do this?

Just a little photoshop hack'n'slash.
Phoebus was pretty easy, jut copy/paste tiles from Bisasam_16x16. Spacefox on the other hand...I used ComicSans to substitute the missing letters, and it's butt-ugly when zoomed in. Anyway it's just a temporary solution, I was using a pure 16x16 tileset, but because of the dfhack popup bug, when the screen reverts to the text tileset, I decided to make these to make the two tilesets as similar as possible, so the artifacts are less jarring.
The long term solution will be pure text tileset, 12x16 or 10x16, I expect mifki to tell us which works better when finished with the coding.

Tile overrides only show up on the current level, not on the additional levels visible with the plugin:

Will this change in the future?

I think so. I just forgot to account for "depth" when checking override conditions.

You really really should update the main post with a simple logical step by step tutorial of how to do this for various tilesets.
Reading through 23 pages just to figure out how to simply get clear text in phoebus isn't !!FUN!! 

1. Copy blahblah files.
2. Add to d_init.txt = blabla
3. Copy your favorite text tileset to blabla


edit: sorry im stupid, saw it

Wow, this is awesome. A rather amusing side-effect of this plugin is that I can safely replace the '.' character with '!' in the menus to give a Jolly-Bastion-enabled Dwarf Fortress a maddening level of jolliness in all game text. I might try an all-caps, only-exclamation-point mod of JB for the menu text, heh heh...

EDIT: Now, imagine Billy Mays is reading every in-game menu.

All caps text, I can't believe I never thought of that.

Anybody know what is the name of the font used in Mayday, Obisdian and Ironhand? Or the name of the tileset the letters were used from?

I would be eternally grateful if you'd do a Phoebus version for the Guybrush font (when selected in the Phoebus tileset assembler)
As i do it right now, i just use the Phoebus tileset assembler to make a .png with Full Clear Punctuation and Text, but the problem is that the numbers still have a background.

You should be able to get the subtype of items using a linear search so that people don't have to hardcode subtype overrides (you can crawl through what I believe is in C++ df::global::world.raws.itemdefs.foo or something like that for that)...

EDIT: Holy crap you're using items.other for organizational purposes? That makes things way cooler. You can give separate tiles to dead playable races specifically, display recently dropped items differently and show melt designated items differently. You can even differentiate between murdered corpses and non-murdered corpses, as well as anything edible by kobolds (BONECARN) or whatever.

And I wasn't happy with the Spacefox text tileset, so here's a new one:

Creature graphics are only working 1 z-level above the creature, above that they are just letters.

Those are item graphics, not creatures. and besides, thy work 1 level above, but not more.

[PeridexisErrant]

Just thinking about this - someone may want to write up a good guide for graphics people, who are all going to come back for the the new release.  It would be a shame to have them leave again without creating TwbT-compatible everything!

[mifki]

I hope we'll be able to attract some good artists - now that they don't have to fight tileset limitations. And also as mentioned before, in the version with separate tile sizes, there's no limitation to fit 80 tiles on screen, so larger tiles are possible which again gives artists more freedom. I'm going to implement nice map zooming that now won't affect text tiles.

How much more graphics improvements can one plugin hold???  Just, wow.  I look forward to it. 

In the meantime, I checked the r5, 3.12 version and it crashes to desktop just like 3.11 did.
