^^^ It looks like the walls are just scaled up with nasty rough pixels?

Check out the second one

[Footkerchief]

You posted the same link twice.  That screenshot looks awesome though.

Oh god... I want this so bad... but I cant figure out how to work it.

If anyone could help, by giving me step by step instructions on how to make this work, it would be greatly aprreciated.

(I have already got it in my art folder in BMP format, now what?)

[Footkerchief]

Did you try this already?  Is it not step-by-step enough?

[woose1]

Did it, but what grid size/resolution do I have to put it? Ive already scrwed around with it and I forgot what default was. currently, Im getting a messed up intro and nothing at all after that.

Edit: I tried the orginal one without the intergration of mayday and that worked fine ("Fine" meaning that the screen was horrendously small and the lines were horrendously blurry.

[Footkerchief]

Which one did you download?  "Original one" is kind of ambiguous.  Just give me a link to the one you downloaded or something.

One that did not work (Intergrated one): http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v641/aStaleFart/DortenPlusMayday.png

One that DID work but was horrendously blurry and small. (Like, 100x100 small.)

Personaly, im am not a graphics whore adn dont need all this fancy schmancy mayday stuff. Im used to working with character sets, not graphic sets!

[Sinergistic]

If you have mayday: download my file, covert to a .bmp 24bit by opening it in photoshop (or paint) and saving it as a bmp file to your data/art directory.

Then you just change:

Code: [Select]

[GRAPHICS:YES]
[GRAPHICS_WINDOWEDX:1280]
[GRAPHICS_WINDOWEDY:800]
[GRAPHICS_FONT:WhatYouSavedThePngAs.bmp] CHANGE THIS LINE TO YOUR FILE NAME
[GRAPHICS_FULLSCREENX:1280]
[GRAPHICS_FULLSCREENY:1024]
[GRAPHICS_FULLFONT:WhatYouSavedThePngAs.bmp] CHANGE THIS LINE TO YOUR FILE NAME
[GRAPHICS_BLACK_SPACE:YES]

and voila.

Otherwise, if you DON'T have a graphics pack, and just a vanilla install of DF, you will need to do the same steps as above, with the file you get from the wiki (720x225_SmoothWalls.png) and convert it to a .bmp file and save it to the data/art directory.

Then you go into the init file and change...

Code: [Select]

[WINDOWEDX:1024]
[WINDOWEDY:800]
[FONT:720x225_SmoothWalls.bmp] OR WHATEVER YOUR FILENAME IS

Then you need to adjust the resolution. Just multiply the desired grid size by the size of corresponding tile. In this case, it's square, so multiply both by 9. If you want a grid of 80:50, you would need a resolution of (80 * 9):(50 * 9) or 720x450.

So I did, there is the partially tweaked version. I didn't change all of the tiles, since I haven't quite figured out where they all go yet, so I can't test them all ingame. I haven't had much time to go over the wiki in detail yet, but I plan on doing that tonight.

I've been making some heavy revisions to it, but I'll post the modified tileset later tonight.

One thing I've found is that replacing the division symbol (used for barrels) with a graphic that creates a realistic barrel messes with screw pumps, so I removed that. A shame, since it works so well.

I like the barrels! If it makes screwpumps look a little weird, so be it.

Yeah not a bad char. set, but I don't like the floors to be honest.

You can change them? Just open it up in photoshop, find the floor tile (row 4 or 5, on the right edge) and paint your own. remember that the tile needs to be 16 pixels by 16 pixels (or whatever size you have) and use the pencil tool ('paints' one pixel at a time) and voila. Instant modification to any design you like. You can even find a tileset with the same dimension as yours and just copy/paste the tile over into your set. All it is is an image. Images are editable.

Thanks for reminding me that I can edit the images...
I am using a different set anyway. [Herrbdog's 16x16]
