I too would like to see this updated!

[jecowa]

The raws and init files of Duerer Classic are fully compatible with everything from Dwarf Fortress v0.42.02 through v0.43.05. This will not corrupt your game.

I'm not seeing anything in this version that needs to be updated. Is it the TWBT version that people are wanting updated?

Preferably, I really enjoy playing with TWBT

Pardon my newbs showing, but how would you make this tileset larger without sacrificing quality? Also I am using lazy newb pack on Mac.

I am stunned by the beauty and immersion evoked by this set.

You can zoom in and out with the mouse wheel. Changing TEXTURE_PARAM:LINEAR to NEAREST in init.txt should help this look much better. You'll also need to change PRINT_MODE:2D to STANDARD. Yes, this will affect the quality: I usually disable zoom entirely.

Otherwise, no, not unless HaterSkater feels like redrawing the whole thing. Resizing pixel art is different from resizing regular art or photographs: there will always be a loss in quality unless you're precisely doubling it. Well-done tilesets are pixel art: art where the artist has thought about every pixel in their work. When you arbitrarily resize it, you're relying on a program to haphazardly insert more pixels everywhere and hoping the result will look good (it won't). I see people scale tilesets non-linearly anyways using various shaders designed for pixel art, but the result always loses quality (and IMO looks bad).

You can always double the size of this tileset in GIMP or Krita (using "None" or "Box" scaling, respectively). The result will look a bit more blocky (see my own 20x20 sets), but there won't be a loss of quality at all. If you're feeling adventurous, hunt down a program that supports xBRZ scaling--or some other scaler designed for pixel art--then double Duerer using that.

I get the same question sometimes.

[jecowa]

If you could zoom in to the level you wanted it to be (with the scroll wheel) and post a screenshot on it, maybe someone would be able to re-draw a larger version at the ideal size for you.

Also, if you're okay with non-square tilesets, Max™'s "duerasam_30x45" should be included. You can customize the Duerer tileset to use Max's version from the "Customize" tab in the "Graphics" tab of the Lazy Newb Pack launcher.

I tinkered with that and reconstructed the parts of the background dithering where they got damaged by the scaling. It isn't as nice as a redrawn version would be of course, but I was pretty happy with it after I got the obviously broken parts out of the way.

HAHAHAHAHAHA
Here you go, map for TWBT:

This looks fantastic! Sir, would you mind posting the 50px version of duerer-aux as well, please? Otherwise up-down stairs look really blurry. Also please forgive my rudeness, but do you have any plans of updating the tileset to the newest version of DF? I noticed there's a lot of people who would love to see this masterpiece in 18x18 as well, and I'm one of them. With all respect, this is tons of work, do you have any PayPal or anything similar so we could show our gratitude properly?

[BionicMeatloaf]

is this tileset still being worked on? it looks gorgeous

[Clatch]

This is not a tileset -- it's a work of art.  That said, I'm not sure how you could improve on it?

[Fleeting Frames]

Making it take advantage of new features of twbt next, if I were to answer the question. Lots of effort for small details, though.

True.  What people are doing with TWBT is pretty amazing.  At their core though, DFHack and TWBT are attempts to modernize DF.  I personally haven't played with DFHack since the series of updates were released last year.  I didn't want to miss anything coming out -- exciting times, right?  I haven't really looked back either.  It will take me several years just to understand and use the existing features -- and I haven't even started Adventure mode yet.

For me, one of the endearing factors of this tileset is that I can drop it on a vanilla install and I'm left with the impression that TWBT is installed.  There are no more unsightly seams!  All of the different terrain melds together as if someone hand-stitched each screen presentation.  And the maps - oh man, the maps.  Duerer really captures the impression that you are reading off the wall of a master engraver... and all you need is one little graphic -- rediculous.

Sorry for necro

I haven't been playing for a while, and came back only to discover that the only tileset I desire to play with, throws crashes on me. So I decided to leave a note here, in case somebody get same issue.

Duerer works perfectly fine with TWBT_LEGACY instead of TWBT

[x86]

that the only tileset I desire to play with

Same to me. I can truly enjoy Dwarf Fortress only with this tileset. Did you manage to make it work with newer versions of the game/TWBT? Which version are you using?

I'm using latest LazyPack (that would be DF v0.44.10), switched print mode TWBT to TWBT_LEGACY, and it works, well most of the time. For some reason it randomly crashes on loading, but after few tries it loads and works like a charm.
Oh, also there is a glitch with smooth walls and bridges not displaying correctly if they appear on the same tile after switching z-levels

As for new TWBT, I don't really care about it, so I didn't bother
