I'll be updating my desktop's version tonight.

[Phoebus]

This really _is_ excellent tileset, Phobeus! Moved back to using yours since Ironhand haven't had time to update to 31.16 just yet, and your ore/gem icons are very comprehensible and easy to read. Thanks!


Slight bug, dunno if it's related to the Olivine issue above, but glass portals show up as colored "O"s instead of doors.

Spoiler (click to show/hide)

Glass portals are hardcoded to use the 'O' tile. The material, Olivine, has nothing to do with the problem.

Its been reported in Maydays graphics pack, so yea, its something with DF itself.

Also, OLIVINE IS COOL! I like green (not goblins though).

Oh yea, I'm going to try this graphics set out because I want to try something new, and also tired of waiting for Mayday to update his (no offense Mayday, your tileset IS cool.)

Edit: What tileset should I use if I want to make the ground lighter? The ground in the arena seems kind of dark to me, but heck.

[krenshala]

Actually, I just built more olivine doors (a new forturess) last night and it seems the Toady One has corrected how they appear.  I don't know if that effects glass doors or not, however (never having made/used them).

[smjjames]

How do I get the curses font to work? I want to use the font that Mayday uses as that one is a bit easier to read, but I'm not sure how to get it to work.

Edit: nm, ignore me, I was sorta rambling when I should be checking out the various graphic stuff.

In the phoebus pack are some alternate tilesets in the art folder.  One of them uses the guybrush text the same as mayday, switch the fonts in your init.txt to that file and you should get what you are looking for.

Oh, I didn't realize that was the one Mayday uses.

Edit: How do I make the tiles brighter overall because its darker than I'd prefer? And no its not my computer settings.

Ah, bummer. Oh well, I'll guess I'll use my imagination for these doors

Did you copy data/init/colors.txt? Phoebus made them brighter and IMHO prettier than what you'd get by default.

[smjjames]

I'm using the full game download from the OP, so I didn't change the colors.txt file.

If you look at the arena or the ground in general, the colors appear darker than Maydays. Also the combat text colors are slightly wierd.

[smariot]

Ah, okay. Then it's working as intended.

The smoothed floor tile (The + symbol, up/left of the upward stairs tile) is intentionally dark, presumably to provide better contrast with the walls. If you really don't like it, you'll have to edit that tile.

So that is why Phoebus' version looks better to me!  I started with a Mayday set, and it seemed dull (but not boring, just ... dark), and when I looked at the Phoebus stuff it just seemed so much ... sharper.

[Phoebus]

The ground tile are intentionally dark so that they do not draw your attention away from actual objects and creatures.

And I've changed the colors in two ways.

First, the darker colors are 2/3 of max luminosity instead of 1/2, that makes quite a difference. The main reason why I did that is that most tiles are made of shades of grey anywhere from white to black, and the color of the tile is multiplied by the shade of grey of each pixel. That makes each pixel equal or darker than the base color. If the base color is already dark then the final result often ends up being unacceptably dark. No reason to strain your eyesight when I can just make the color a bit brighter.

Second, electronic (fluo) colors are very unnatural and jarring, so I've changed blue, cyan, green, yellow/brown & magenta to more natural/pastel tints.

[smjjames]

Okay, I'll give this graphics set a chance then.

[Ockad]

Oh how I love my Phoebus Graphic Set.
