Is there a way to change which tile wood, glass and metal doors use?  As it is, only the stone doors actually look like doors in my current tileset.



Ideally, I would like them to use the same tile as stone doors, and just use the material colors.  I realize it might be hard to tell the difference between some materials, but none the less, it would look better than it does now. 

Now that I think about it, I might be better off if I can just create all new tiles for them.

Any help is very much appreciated.

Why, yes there is, good sire. The solution is really very simple:

First, head over the wiki, and check out the tileset page, located here: http://www.dwarffortresswiki.net/index.php/Tileset

Wooden doors fall under row 12, but you aren't going to want to change them, because they are a key element of your normal tileset (they are used as straight walls. Changing them to LOOK like a door would make your fort look even worse than it does now)

Normal (rock) doors fall under row 13, and metal doors fall under row 14.


Changing the tileset is just a matter of copy pasting the tile you want to the new location.

If you want, just post a link to your tileset and I can mod it for you.

The tileset I currently use is a combination of several tilesets that I merged to suit my personal tastes.  I've uploaded it here if you want to take a look.

I miss-worded my question though.  I would like to know if there is any way to change which tile in the .bmp file is used to represent the various doors, so that the same tile used to represent stone doors could represent the other doors as well.

Short answer: no, wooden doors are currently hard-coded.  Some day, though.

Oh well, thanks!
