Hey, I really like this graphic set .

Nice work!  Thanks!

[Barquentine]

That's dithering.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Floyd%E2%80%93Steinberg_dithering
I use it for two reasons.
One, lack of alpha transparency supports means every transparent pixel is 100% transparent, and if I want to spread the background color around I need to dither. Used on mineral tiles, water tiles, river/road tiles and units.
The second, used for the ground tiles, smoothed floors, walls and behind trees & plants, is used to break the flat uniformity of the ground. That one works pretty well.

So in other words, no, I would have to get rid of it manually?

Hard dithering (behind units, mineral walls, etc.) I will replace when PNG support is merge back in DF2010. These are the worst offenders and I can't replace them right now as they are a byproduct of BMP's transparency.
Soft dithering (ground floors, behind trees, etc.) is an integral part of my tileset.

I made an alternate tileset with black background for you. Minerals are still using hard dithering. You can download an old package of mine to extract units without dithered backgrounds.

That doesn't have the added graphics from 1.5.1, though, does it? That's the only reason I'm using the dithered ones myself. Actually, I tried to use color replace in paint.net to remove the dithering, but for some reason the medics all became invisible (despite the image being just fine as far as I could tell). O_o (Most of the other image files came out fine, I think. The other dwarves and domestic animals at least did)

I removed Barquentine's latest post and warned him.  Please remember to be respectful.

*Updated* v1.6.1
Added separate downloads for the RAWs, INIT & Tileset. (For those people that don't like getting their init trampled over. Like me.)
Merged 4 changes from Greenbane's fork. Improved beds, chests, logs and channeling icon.
I will soon provide multiple tilesets with alternate fonts. Post the font that you prefer in this thread.

[Greenbane]

You already got my font preference: Guybrush!

And for those that don't like the ground patterns:

Tileset v1.6.1 with flat ground: (remember to change [VARIED_GROUND_TILES:YES] to NO in your init.txt)

Phoebus, thank you for your work.

You could change all the SHRUB_TILE's in plant_standard.txt to something other than 58. I changed it for myself to 169.

Here is "my" version of your tileset, I don't like too much informations on the walls, so I reduced it drastically.

Only the underground plants use [SHRUB_TILE:58][DEAD_SHRUB_TILE:58] (from the default raws). The overland plants use the tile 34 by default.
I've changed tile 58 (colons : ) so that they look like small mushrooms.

Nice changes!
Of all the changes I think I like the stockpile tile the most.

[AxisofLint]

Thanks for all the work you put into this

[Gabeux]

I can't get it on fullscreen mode.
Is this normal? 

Also, alunite ground and wall tile are pretty much the same, :/

But everything looks neat, great work

I noticed that while playing as humans a few professions are defaulting to zombies....I noticed this with my doc and mason....I will look in the raws to see what the issue is and post up what I find soon


*EDIT* From a quick run through of the graphics raws it looks like the humans do not have a few professions assigned...because it was all I noticed I was only looking for mason and doc...didnt see either....and i think there is more missing because I got a few immigrants that were defaulted as zombies to....was to stupid to look at profession as I simply exited to look into this very issue.... *facepalm*

[HeliumFreak]

Definatly the current font. Its so much clearer than what im used to.

btw, I think there was some problems with some human tiles e.g. some diplomat or liason or something in my dwarf fort always appears as zombie no matter how I messed with the gfx tile definition back in df 40.  iow, it could be bug in the code.
