== Square tilesets ==
+
A character set, or simply [[tilesets|tileset]], is an image in BMP or PNG format that contains the 256 different tiles, corresponding to the [[Main:Character table|IBM Code Page 437]] (sometimes called Extended ASCII). They are used to display the text elements in graphics mode and everything in ASCII mode. This page serves as a repository for custom tilesets made by users, including instructions on how to install them.
  
These are all the character sets with square tiles, except for the character sets with 16×16 tiles. Those are listed [[List_of_user_character_sets#16.C3.9716_tilesets|below]]. Text in square tilesets (as opposed to tilesets with shorter width) is usually more difficult to read, but the map is not distorted.
+
==Background==
  
=== Anikki ===
+
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"). The exact origin of the DF font is unknown.

{{TipBox|#fb0|float=center|'''Currently{{version|50.11}}, using some tilesets can cause the lower and right edges of the screen to not react to the mouse.''' This is dependent on size; the 8×12 and 10×12 that come with the game are fine, but the 16×16 is not. Maximizing the window or [[Settings|setting]] the game to fullscreen may avoid this.}}

Other issues that can appear when using a different tileset:
|author=[[User:Anikki|Anikki]]
+
* In graphics mode, the minimap frame will scale to the tileset, but the minimap image will not.
|dated=2008-7-27
+
* In graphics mode, using a tileset with a different aspect ratio will stretch UI elements.
|size=8×8
+
* In graphics mode, some UI elements do not scale to the tileset.
|resolution=640×200 native.
+
* In either mode, and even with the default tileset at some scales and game display sizes, some menus may not have enough space to display all elements; the [[Noble#Menu|Nobles menu]] especially.
|comments=Based on the original IBM CGA Character set with a lot of tweaks. The characters remain as descriptive yet universal as possible. I chose the CGA set because it is in my opinion the square set with the best readability. This set is for those who like the basic ASCII look where every pixel has meaning or (multiple meanings). [http://www.anikki.com/share/df/Anikki_square_8x8.bmp Download the BMP]
+
 
 +
To use a specific tileset with ''Dwarf Fortress'', you must perform the following steps:
 +
 
 +
# Download the tileset to your computer. Each tileset is just an image, so there is no separate download link. ('''Right-Click''' on the tileset image and '''Save-As'''.)
 +
# If necessary, convert the tileset to the correct image format for the version of DF you are using:
 +
## Do '''not''' just change the extension to .bmp or .png; you must use a program like MS paint to save it properly.
 +
## For ''[[40d:Release information/0.28.181.40d|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.
 +
## For ''[[v0.31:Release information/0.31.01|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.
 +
# Move or copy the file to the DF art directory ({{tt|.../data/art}}).
 +
# Edit the initialization configuration file ({{tt|.../data/init/init_default.txt}}) to specify the tileset file to use. There are three lines that can be changed:
 +
## '''[FONT:''<filename>'']''' — the tileset for a windowed display.
 +
## '''[FULLFONT:''<filename>'']''' — the tileset for a full-screen display.
 +
## '''[BASIC_FONT:''<filename>'']''' — the tileset for initial loading and menu display.
 +
## All three can be set to the same file. In fact, setting them to different files can give unexpected results
 +
## Once you have made the changes you need to remember to save the file.
 +
# If the selected tileset requires modifications to the [[Raw]]s, you will have to make those edits. What those changes are will depend on the tileset itself, and may only be valid for older versions. Likewise, some tilesets may suggest changes to {{tt|d_init.txt}}, such as {{tt|[PILLAR_TILE:255]}}, but those options no longer exist.
 +
 
 +
Once the file is saved and the required changes are made, you are ready to play DF with your new tileset!
  
There is also an upscaled [[#Anikki_2|16x16 version]] of this set available for fullscreen use below.

|comments=So on suggestion I made the new version of Monoscii which has every tile be 1 pixel, the entire map nearly fits into the screen just fine. Monoscii Lite is superior in every way, the information is denser, crisper and cleaner. pUrists will finally be one step closer to the most pUrist DF possible.

|comments=A large 257x257 DFMA world gen map can be found [http://mkv25.net/dfma/map-3278-5x5largeworldmap here.]Updated 08/06/08. Changed most text characters as well as some others to 4x4 with blackspace to avoid tiling. Most characters have been revised to be spaced out to be more distinguishable in such a small set. After seeing the dev update earlier today about increasing your view size I decided to create this small font. This has been built completely from scratch, mostly while at work today. I may be making a shaded version in the future. The first image to the right is from the Abbeyverse succession game.

|comments=This is the 20x20 version of my 24x24 tileset. Graphical tiles have been replaced by ASCII ones. A DF version supporting transparent PNGs must be used. In order to use unscaled tiles, horizontal resolution must be at least 1600.
+
|comments=Version 2.05. Updated 11/12/07 to de-fuzz uppercase letters, added serifs and clarified lowercase letters, made horizontal spacing consistent throughout character set, fixed one error in the double horizontal-left-right, single-vertical-up-down character, made exclamation points consistent, thinned out question mark and inverse question mark, sharpened sideways stemless arrows, clarified international characters, and clarified some Greek letters. Since v2.0: fixed 'i' 'g', fixed Yen symbol, fixed smiley 0x01 to not have an extra line to its right, lowered the period and colon characters, fixed position of 'x'. Thanks to Markavian for ideas on how to improve the font, as well as an occasional character glyph.

|comments=I like packing as much on the screen as I can, but 8&times;8 is just too crowded for 1920&times;1080 fullscreen. I intended to make a 10&times;10 version of Pastiche, but I had to make countless little changes to maintain visual consistency between the two sizes. I finally gave up, called it a new font, and changed some more stuff just because! Like Pastiche, Potash is a pure ASCII/CP437 font, suitable for use outside of ''Dwarf Fortress'' should you happen to find yourself stuck in 1985.

|comments=Recently I learned of a monitor displaying 2560 pixels horizontally, and I decided it needed a tileset to put to use. Taking the tileset I use (Kelora 16x16 diagonal) and doubling it, I was able to get a decent tileset. Smoothing the edges, and redoing some glyphs to get a better look (or just messing up some to bad to fix), I was able to achieve this.  
+
|comments=Based primarily on Tocky and Plac1d's sets (which are brilliant). The characters remain as descriptive as possible with some tweaks to the font for better readability and some changes to symbols for more consistency. This set is for those who like the basic ASCII look where every pixel has meaning or (multiple meanings). [http://www.anikki.com/share/df/Anikki_square_10x10.bmp Download the BMP]

|comments=Built from scratch, this ASCII tileset is made with the smaller 16:10 resolutions in mind. The odd tile size fills the above resolutions without artifacts and it gives an advantage in design, making for sharp features and equal spacing between characters. The manual anti-aliasing gives the set nice and clean look. Transparent PNG support is needed for this one.

|comments=Based on [[#Anikki_square_10x10.png|Anikki]], with some simplifications and modifications. I like Markavian's walls, so I did something similar. The bottom right tile, number 255, I use for pillars. You can set that in your d_init.txt, the line should look like [PILLAR_TILE:255]

|comments=A tileset based on [[:Image:Nostalgia_1440x450_3e4a08.png|Maus's 18x18 version of his "Nostalgia" tileset]], however, it has been heavily revised. The entire font has been "smoothed over", and many of the symbols changed to more "graphical" representations of the items they represent. An attempt to fill the void of "graphic heavy" tilesets in the 18x18 tile-size. A special emphasis is placed on maximizing the text's readability, while still providing a "graphics enhanced" play area. Special thanks to Maus for the font, and Guybrush for the inspiration.
+
|comments=The "full size" version of Potash. I insist on using a square font to maintain sanity when judging sizes and distances, but I'm not a fan of how text usually looks with square glyphs -- the letters are either too wide, or spaced too far apart. I've tried balance those two flaws against each other as much as possible, and I think this font is very readable as a result. Nearly all the 10&times;10 glyphs have empty borders on all four sides, to prevent confusing (or just ugly) connections between adjacent tiles.

|comments=Similar to [[Tileset_repository#Alloy|Alloy's conversion]], this is based on the default curses_800x600 tileset, converted to 12x12. I wrote a GIMP python plugin to add padding to bring each tile up to the required size, and then I manually tidied up the places where the images no longer went all the way to the edge of the tile. This ensures that the positioning of each image within each tile stays exactly the same as in the original tileset, but with a single pixel column added on both sides of the tile to bring it up to size. For people who like the 800x600 original tileset's look and size but want a square version of it.

|comments= A fresh spin on Vidumec's "nice curses" tileset - includes a couple different graphics that both keep the ASCII feel and provide better visual representations while preventing text artefacts, including new graphics for sheets, plus a Moai statue since making the statue specifically humanoid didn't feel generalisable enough.<br>A [[Tileset repository#zesty_curses_24x24.png|24x24 version]] is available.

|comments=I wanted a tileset smaller than 15x15 that would still display nicely on a netbook (e.g. 1366&times;768), but still be clearly legible. I think I have succeeded in that goal.  On a 1680&times;1050 display the resolution is 129&times;80 with this tileset.
|comments=Name: Yayo's C64; Based on the charset of the commodore 64. It's a flat style, but it's clean and also highly readable. I recreated all the missing chars like letters with accents and symbols, trying to get a c64 style as much as possible. If it's too small, use the 16&times;16 version [[#Yayo_2|below]]. :)

|comments=Built from scratch, this ASCII tileset is made with two common 16:10 resolutions in mind. The odd tile size fills the above resolutions without artifacts and it gives an advantage in design, making for sharp features and equal spacing between characters. The manual anti-aliasing gives the set a nice and clean look. Transparent PNG support is needed for this one.

|comments=I liked the great Talryth square 15x15 very much! However dwarves tiles were a litlle bit out of the style, so I changed them to default-like ones. Also added background so the there is no more black background which with bright ASCII was hard to my eyes. Again thanks to Talryth for his amazing job!

The 16&times;16 tilesets are a subset of square character sets. 16&times;16 is a frequently used size, as shown by the number of tilesets in this section. This is probably because all of the best creature graphics sets use 16&times;16 tiles. Those alternate sets for creatures can be found at [[graphics sets]]. '''If your screen is too small for these, turn on BLACK_SPACE!'''
