I guess he thinks that ASCII tilesets probably don't belong in a pack designed for noobs. He probably wants to make it easy for users to pick out a graphics pack that won't look too confusing to them. Maybe that's the better way to do it. Do most people using ASCII graphics packs already know how to install their own graphics pack?
Maybe the graphics pack tab could have categories. By default it shows the "recommended for noobs" tilesets, but then with a drop-down menu you could change it to categories such as "all", "ASCII", and "graphics".
Awesome! I - by now officially biggest fan of this pack I reckon - asked this of Peridexiserrant already. He said he'd like the pack to have better graphics support first. I hope it gets in though, this pack deserves more appreciation!
Thanks for the support guys, it means a lot to me!
I was contacted by PeridexisErrant two months ago. He asked me if I wanted to join the Dwarf Fortress graphic repo on GitHub, which I did of course. I expressed my wish to be included in a future version of the LNP. I also asked what would be needed of my set at that point.
I have made a few additions, and some minor alterations (most notably to the main tile set for legibility), and I want to wrap that up, have a nice and tidy set, slap a "v1" on it, and push it to the repo. Hopefully that'll be good enough.
I've also decided to limit the set to 20x20. I still work on it as 10x10, but it will be compiled as 20x20. File size is a limitation that PE needs to be mindful of, and I understand that. So by not including 4 versions of every sheet I help with that. I'll probably upload the 10x10 to dffd though, in case someone with a shitty monitor (like me) needs the lower res version.
And like always, I'm sorry for the slow pace here. I'm only able to work on this between other stuff. But I'm still here, and the set is moving in the right direction!
