I love playing with graphics but I hate having to modify the raws. All the current major graphic packs (Phoebus, Mayday, Ironhand) require you to use their raws, which means two unpleasant things:
- Every time a new DF version comes out, you have to wait for updated raws
- You can't ever switch to a different pack, which gets complicated if you (like myself) like to keeping your old saves and revisiting them months later
Wiki doesn't offer many graphics that don't modify the raws so I made my own. It's a composite of sprites from many other tilesets, I haven't drawn anything. Credits to the original authors, most notably Guybrush and Phoebus.
The tileset is fully adapted to the changes in 31.18 - eg. it has sprites for night creatures, bogeymen, it correctly shows the new items (cauldrons, ladles) and it's adapted to the bracelets/earrings/rings change. Please let me know if you happen on any tile that shows something else than it should.
It's designed to keep the text readable as much as possible so it doesn't change most of the special characters with acutes, tildas, umlauts, etc. It does change
some, but only the most needed ones (eg. levers).
Here it is:
To use the tileset, simply save it to your data/art folder, give the file some reasonable name, then go to data/init/init.txt and edit the settings accordingly (= enable graphics, set this as the tileset to use).
It doesn't include creature graphics like dwarves and animals. Grab those from Phoebus' or Mayday's.
Here is a simple screenshot that doesn't really show much:
