thanks! I'll try doubling the height of my graphics set and telling it to use 10x24 tiles, so it matches the distortion caused by tile stretching.

EDIT: AWW WHAT THE HELL



the problem is persisting. I'll post my graphics set and the current graphics settings soonish, so anyone can point out problems.

[Fault]

Here's the thing...

Graphics settings in INIT

Code: [Select]

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

[WINDOWEDX:800]
[WINDOWEDY:600]
[FONT:curses_800x600.bmp]

Full screen info.

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

If this is set to YES, the tiles will not be stretched, but rather the game view will be centralized, surrounded by black space.  Tiles that are too large will always be compressed rather than running off the screen.

[BLACK_SPACE:NO]

Graphics info, most of it as above.  Set GRAPHICS to YES to turn it all on.  This will use the "raw/graphics" folder for tile information.  Currently this is limited to whatever creature graphics you have downloaded.  The game comes with a few pictures to demonstrate.  As of September 2008, the Dwarf Fortress Wiki has graphical tilesets available at http://www.dwarffortresswiki.net/index.php/List_of_user_graphics_sets.

[GRAPHICS:YES]
[GRAPHICS_WINDOWEDX:640]
[GRAPHICS_WINDOWEDY:300]
[GRAPHICS_FONT:curses_640x300.bmp]
[GRAPHICS_FULLSCREENX:800]
[GRAPHICS_FULLSCREENY:600]
[GRAPHICS_FULLFONT:curses_800x600.bmp]
[GRAPHICS_BLACK_SPACE:NO]

My current 10x24 graphics tileset..

You know, the image you've posted here is JPG. You need a 24-bit bmp. And bits =/= height.

[Fault]

it only says its a jpeg because photobucket convert images to those when you upload them. The image file in my example folder is a bitmap.

by bits, do you mean pixels? or something different?

[Deon]

24BITS! There're different types of bmp files, and when you save it in ms.paint, choose "24-bit bmp".
I figured out that it's jpeg conversion, so I can't check the type of image, just upload sowhere where it's not converted.

[Fault]

yeah, it's a 24 bit bitmap image.

I'm beginning to think its more a problem with formatting (like init screen size or something) than with the parameters of the image.

[Deon]

OK, show your init.txt, graphics.txt and bmp file if possible please. Just upload them in .zip somewhere like depositfiles.com or filefront.com

[Fault]

here are the requested files on the dwarf fortress file depot.
(thanks for your help so far)

[Deon]

Oh damn it, my winrar version at work can't open 7-zip files >.<
I thought I'd never encounter such problem. Moreover, my pc here can't handle DF with graphics, but I'll dowload 7z and check files manually. If I can't find a problem, wait till the evening please, when I come home (in a few hours actually).

P.S. Also next time for troubleshooting it's better to use "misc" section of DFFD, I think that Graphics sets is for released sets. But it's a minor issue .

[Deon]

This is how it works for me (exactly your files):

Ignore animals, they are from DFG. It's 40d11.

[Fault]

Aww god damnit!
...
well, maybe you're running it on a different  version than me.. I'll check what version my dwarf fortress is..
In the meantime, can you show me how it looks running on fullscreen, not windowed?

EDIT: i've looked over the version list and I see no version 40d11, just 40a 40b 40c and 40d.
And I'm running on 40d right now!

There are some incremental updates as Deon has linked which include graphical improvements and support for transparent tiles I believe.

[Fault]

>>graphical improvements and support for transparent tiles I believe.

FECK

I'll have to download that.. thanks for the advice

[Deon]

Also it has zooming with a mousewheel.
