i tried to get some tile sets and have a couple of questions

if i put the tile sets in, do i have to make a new world for them to work?

it said something about converting them to a diffent size....how do i do that?

[Bobokapi]

you don't need to make a new world, you just need to put them into the DF->data->art folder and change the init.txt file in DF->data->init folder
change the lines

Code: [Select]

[WINDOWEDX:640]
[WINDOWEDY:300]
[FONT:curses_640x300.bmp]to:

Code: [Select]

[WINDOWEDX:640]
[WINDOWEDY:300]
[FONT:(name of new file).bmp] and if you play in fullscreen also change the line: [FULLFONT:curses_800x600.bmp]

The file needs to be a 24-bit bitmap image, you can set this in the program Microsoft Paint or another image editor.  Just open the file with Paint, click save as and change the file type to 24-bit bitmap.

I'm not sure why it would be posted in the wrong size, but the correct dimensions for it would be (horizontal length of each tile*16) by (vertical length of each tile*16)  for an 8*12 tileset, this is 128 by 192, for a 16*16 it is 256 by 256 pixels

There is a list of tilesets here: http://www.dwarffortresswiki.net/index.php/List_of_user_character_sets

Right-click save-as the image, then open it in Paint and re-save it as a 24-bit bitmap.

ok i changed the names and the size but now my DF window is square, small, and i cant see anything

This is the size and font for windowed mode.  Changing to 800x600 and the 800x600 font might make you happier.

[WINDOWEDX:256]
[WINDOWEDY:256]
[FONT:Aesomatica 16x16.bmp]

Full screen info.

[FULLSCREENX:800]
[FULLSCREENY:600]
[FULLFONT:curses_800x600.bmp]

If you're using the default grid size of 80x25, you need WINDOWEDX:1280 and WINDOWEDY:400

[Micro102]

tried it, but none of the symbols ar showing up...the begining is also gone. the only thing that shows up when i play are these diferent coloed squarees

if someone where to use it themselves and type VERY DETAILED instructions i would be very grateful
