Hey guys,

I'm currently working on a massive tileset, which has some pretty unique features. The great part about it is that it can be updated in a running fort. It would be a great help for me if people would try it out, so that I can iron out the kinks; meanwhile you will see your fort improve visually.

Here is an example screenshot:

And another:

And the dwarves to pick from:

Anyone interested? If yes, I'll upload the tileset and you can start a fort. :)

Not sure if this is the right place for tilesets. But that's a neat looking one, Comrade!

I'd be interested in checking it out. I've had some poor luck with getting tile sets to work in the past, but I wouldn't mind giving it a try for this one.

Great. :)

I uploaded everything here. Have fun. Mind that it uses TWBT, which for some reason does not allow screenshots in full-screen mode. Just press F11 to switch to windowed mode, screenshots work then.

I just started working on the items, which can do this now:

*waves*  Is this for your 32x or 16x?  Alas, I lack a 4k monitor, and the 16x had so much detail that it was actually hard to distinguish when compressed that small.  Still, looking forward to seeing test pics from everyone!

Nice, but nothing will turn me away from ASCII.

Same here. I really tried to play with that 4k pack, but it was just too much detail to recognize things when compressed that far.

A newer version:  http://dffd.bay12games.com/file.php?id=12499 Surface looks so much better, and items have transparency. :)

The up-ramps look ugly AF.

Is there a way to make them appear directional?

This graphic set is great. I didn't know transparency was even possible.

Not unless Mifki come up with a creative solution. The ramps do not look cohesive with the other tiles. They should lose the gradients and the soft shadows.

I cannot wait until you update the 24x, this is the best format for streaming imo.

I have to say I didn't mean to post screenshots myself, but for other people to play forts with it. ^^
