In this screenshot alone, we have round limes, guavas, coffee berries, carambolas, kapok fruit, avocados, bitter oranges, cashew apples, pomegranates, papayas, citrons, rambutans, lychees, custard-apples, and durians. Of course, your dwarves don't have to embark in the temperate zone with the four seasons (despite the text at the top!): But for a tile-based system, where the exact tiles matter (dwarves can only scurry up into the thicker branches when treed by wild beasts), I think this looks great! If you look closely, you'll see a few leaves pointing the wrong way, or branches connecting to nothing - those were my fault and we're fixing them up! Some of it also comes from limitations of the system.

Other than these characters, all characters are the same, with rightmost-row duplicated on the C and D rows like the MDA (though I don't actually know if this is technically correct).Carolyn has completed the update of the interface art and icons and has moved on to the next set of updates: vegetation! Here is where we are at so far with aboveground trees:įlowers! These are apple, peach, and sand pear trees.Īnd their fruit! Along with some smaller bayberry clusters over on the right that didn't have visible flowers.Īnd then ready to fall! We have yet to do the falling leaves animation (it has a very crappy placeholder drawn by me right now ha ha), but we'll be there soon. The changed characters, in ASCII order, are: arrow-left-and-right, '"', '+', '-', 'M', 'T', 'V', 'W', 'X', 'Y', 'Z', 'm', 'v', 'w', 'ae', cent sign, yen, peseta, plus-minus, and division sign. These 'extra' wide characters are sandwiched in between the end of the 8x14 and beginning of the 8×8 font in the EGA BIOS ROM. This font is actually different from the 8x14 version in that 20 characters have been replaced with the original MDA wide versions. The required resolution is strange, so run fullscreen with BLACK_SPACE:YES and resolution at 640x480. This font is as would be displayed on an EGA/VGA with the 9-pixel-width mode enabled. The IBM EGA character set, dumped from the 6277356 IBM EGA BIOS ROM.

See Official Forum Page for download and installation details. It is pretty dark, kinda foggy and i think the name "Grim Fortress" fits well. Then i applied Lee's Natural Color Scheme with modified "BLACK" value and here it is! Grim Fortress. Then i have spotted Alexander's Jolly Bastion and took some ideas from him ( big thanks to Alexander too! ) like sky tiles and color. anyway i tried further and began to experiment with different base tilesets and finally made my own, using elements from tilesets of other authors ( mainly Tocky's one, big thanks to him! ). So my first try was to apply a solid background to all tiles of Talryth square tileset ( except few ones ), but it came out looking like a bunch of vermins swimming in a goblin's vomit. I always liked the simplicity and feeling of ASCII tilesets but at the same time i really missed solid backgrounds and some interesting tiles from graphical tilesets. Once the file is saved and the required changes are made, you are ready to play DF with your new tileset! What those changes are will depend on the tileset itself. If the selected tileset requires modifications to the Raws, you will have to make those edits.

Edit the initialization configuration file (.Move/Copy the file to the DF art directory (.For DF 0.31.01 or newer: open the file in an image editor and save it as a PNG with transparency if it isn't already in that format.For DF 0.28.181.40d or older: open the file in an image editor and save it as a 24-bit bitmap (BMP) if it isn't already in that format.If necessary, convert the tileset to the correct image format for the version of DF you are using:.( Right-Click on the tileset image and Save-As.) Each tileset is just an image, so there is no separate download link. Download the tileset to your computer.To use a specific tileset with Dwarf Fortress, you must perform the following steps: The exact origin of the DF font is unknown. The default tilesets (640×300 and 800×600) render 8×12 and 10×12 characters respectively, with majuscule latin letters occupying a 7×9 box, and appear broadly similar to the IBM MDA font based on the shape of the "0", "g", and "f" characters (but with slight differences including the "0", "W", and "y").
