Low-fi colors? We're already playing with just barely 16, and that's if you include white and black.

There's a CGA color scheme up on the wiki, though: http://dwarffortresswiki.net/index.php/Color_schemes

Oh, and set the threshold for other colors to grab with the color select to 0.

What exactly are you trying to get at? 

though, I do like the old palette. Perhaps I should use that, though if the VGA 80x25 is different...

I can't upgrade DF's colors to more...

Though, I could fix my tilesets to use the varying-level-BG that is now allowed by transparency in the 40d# series, so I needn't flip the colors on all the minerals for that to look right...

[CobaltKobold]

Transparency update to isominerals (use with 40d16 and such only)

It works, but the values aren't what I want them to be.

Won't an isometric tileset look really strange with a square grid? I mean, a door in a straight horizontal wall will appear diagonal.

Screens, please?

Yes. Read this post and this post. It's not supposed to be all that good for playing DF so much as being useful for making mockups. Problem being that, as you try to increase the realism of a tile to one of its objects even slightly, you're going away from the four-five other things that the tile represents...

Screenshots? very well, though I suppose I should make a variant that doesn't screw up all the rocks laying about so I don't need to (d)(b)(h). This is really just an update for the one in this post so I won't need to go and invert all the stones' colors, so screenshots won't make a huge difference.

(Demonstration corridor in Andesite. Some magma and obsidian are off to the right. One block is designated, one is being mined out.)

at one time I had a half done 64x64 tile set... lost that tho.



ohh and a 4x4 8

Code: [Select]

0010
0101
1010

or you could revese it

0100

0010

None of the solutions to 4x4 8 work that well. Anyway, here's one with it:



..oh shazbot, it captured the mouse.

The mouse is for scale.  Much more impressive.

You should totally make a 6x6 tileset. It would be awesome.

as for the Isometric, the menu /might/ work with an interface mod. As of now, they overlap each other way to much.

[quinnr]

I can read that...I'm gonna use it on my EEEPC, the screen is so small, it could definitely use that.

[PTTG??]

I'm only going to say this once: Don't use photoshack, use the Dwarf Fortress File Depot.

an' why's that?

First post updated.

How's that?

[quinnr]

Photoshack is fine...
