For the easiest way to pick and choose them, download the Lazy Newb starter pack from the Dwarf Fortress forums: It is on Phoebus by default. 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).Dwarf fortress has always had full graphics packs(and many mods on the forums) available. 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! Likewise, some tilesets may suggest changes to d_init.txt, such as, but those options no longer exist. What those changes are will depend on the tileset itself, and may only be valid for older versions. If the selected tileset requires modifications to the Raws, you will have to make those edits.Once you have made the changes you need to remember to save the file. ![]() - the tileset for initial loading and menu display.- the tileset for a full-screen display.There are three lines that can be changed: data/init/init_default.txt) to specify the tileset file to use. Edit the initialization configuration file (.Move or 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. ![]() png you must use a program like MS paint to save it properly.
