Well I don't see how you'd make a symbol that makes sense, since it makes no sense at all for a lil' square to fit both upward stairs and downward stairs in it, nevermind the fact that just upward stairs alone would have to go up at a ridiculously steep angle.

My example is not the best but I think is still more immediate to understand than a white X..(which btw is the same symbol of the cursors, so is kind of confusing imo) xD

Actually, I had the bottom portion rotated the wrong way which made it look stupid and my precise way of doing things required me to fix the example :S

This is what I meant  --->

I think you're assuming I've modified the tileset, I didn't, I simply overlapped the stairs image in photoshop to see how it would look :)

Well, let's put it this way: if I'm going to spend time and effort to build something, I want the final resoult to look astounding and not like a bunch of garbage data from a corrupted file :\

That's what you use stonesense for, but I love Ascii and personally can't stand graphics.

Interesting. I can't stand the look of the tilesets: It looks like my kid brother got into my phone and typed every single multicoloured smiley he could until he used up all my credit. The Ascii is clean and easy to interpret, much easier anyhow than the animated mobile phone art, which makes absolutely too much clutter. It takes all sorts ;)

Huh. Back in the version for 43.03, I'm pretty sure there was a graphic for up/down. Haven't used any alternate set in 43.05 yet, though it's mostly out of laziness.

I get a chuckle out of the "ascii" lovefest. Do y'all still use 300 baud acoustic modems, too? Does your phone plug into the kitchen wall?
