*Edit* several sets for DF2010 have been uploaded here: http://www.bay12games.com/forum/index.php?topic=51961.0

Old post:

I'm a bit scared of the technical jiggery pokery required with installing a graphics set in the new version, i presume it wouldn't be the same as before, could anyone tell me the ways in which it's different?

In other news, I haven't actually played yet because my world has been generating for 45 minutes

Normal graphics sets work, I'm using my own right now.

I tried installing Rantingrodent's but when I attempted to start the game the message 'missing definition: bird_buzzard' came up - or something like that, and it refused to let me play

 Yeah, Rodent's graphics set won't work because it changes the raws to set up the tiles. However, I am just using the tileset (the picture that goes in the art folder and is then selected in the init) and looking at the letters representing creatures for the time being. It doesn't look very good, but it's guarenteed to be free of any serious (non-aesthetic) bugs.

I can't seem to get my PNG tileset working. When the game loads all I get is a black screen.  Music and everything plays like the game is actually running but I have to use task manager to force it to close.  This sucks.

[HexagonalBolts]

I've managed to get RantingRodent's set working, to some degree, I think...

Here is an upload of DF2010 with RantingRodent's (old) graphics set:

(I haven't had any time to really test it yet though)

I've made a thread in the modifications subforum for people to post their graphic tilesets that work with the new version

.png tilesets give you a blank screen. Convert them to .bmp and it loads just fine.

PNG support is in the D# opengl stuff that hasn't been merged with the main game yet, so all pngs have to be converted to bmp atm.

I thought he already did the D# merge.  At least that's what was planned.

It was, but it was then put off until after the Windows release. When it is merged, then it'll be back.

[carebear]

Luckily the D# merge is pretty high priority so it shouldn't take too long.

That must be why my attempt at changing to Mayday graphics didn't work.

The wiki has a link on the front page to a download of DF2010 with Mayday already installed.

[smjjames]

Now you tell me, heh.

Can someome tell Mayday that some letters are missing even when following the instructions to fix them?

I imagine he is working on it now, RantingRodent is anyway. Once we have one tile set it will be very easy to make new ones.
