Closest I've seen to this:

• Req564, MORE CUSTOMIZATION FOR UNITS, (Future): You can set their type names, but being able to set colors or custom tiles should also be possible.
• Bloat368, GENDER-BASED PICTURES, (Future): You should be able to further specify which graphical tiles are used if you like.

Mainly this is a question as I'm sure it's been suggested before. Just can't find where and I don't quite feel like performing thread necromancy that much...

I've been wondering if anyone's heard when we might be able to set individual tiles for creatures and items? Like making barrels use tile blah and such. Personally, I use Guybrush's tileset, but I find that quite a few items use tiles that make them look silly... Like up arrows being trees... Or like map features appearing as a weapon rack...

I know this is on the big "to do" list, though. Just curious to if it's been put in a specific timetable yet. :3

Core 50, TILESET SUPPORT, (Future): Allow graphical tiles to be used for all game objects.

That's all I know about a timetable, though.  It's a core item planned for the future, but I don't recall hearing anything about it getting worked on soon.  The Future of the Fortress doesn't have the presentation arc listed explicitly, but Toady has said that he wants to remain a little loose regarding what he's working on.  So he might bounce around and do some items from the presentation arc now and then.  You never know.

Would be cool to see what tilesets (and the tile config files necessary) people would make if/when we can set our own graphics. :3
