Tileset repository

Enzanki ars: Make the image for Jolly Bastion consistent with the rest of the page.

:''You may be looking for general information on [[tilesets]] or the [[Graphics set repository]].''

A '''character set''', or simply '''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 main graphics.

=Installation=
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:
## 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.
## For ''DF 0.31'' 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/Copy the file to the DF art directory (''<DF Dir>/data/art'').
# Edit the initialization configuration file (''<DF Dir>/data/init/init.txt'') to specify the tileset file to use. There are four locations that can be changed:
## Specify the tileset for a windowed display by setting the filename in the '''[FONT:''<filename>'']''' tag.
## Specify the tileset for a full-screen display by setting the filename in the '''[FULLFONT:''<filename>'']''' tag.
## Specify the tileset for a windowed graphical display by setting the filename in the '''[GRAPHICS_FONT:''<filename>'']''' tag.
## Specify the tileset for a full-screen graphical display by setting the filename in the '''[GRAPHICS_FULLFONT:''<filename>'']''' tag.
## Once you have made the changes you need to remember to save the file.

If the selected tileset requires modifications to the Raws, you will have to make those edits. What those changes are will depend on the tileset itself.

Once the file is saved and the required changes are made, you are ready to play DF with your new tileset!

|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 Abeyverse succession game.

|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 8×8 is just too crowded for 1920×1080 fullscreen. I intended to make a 10×10 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=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 10×10 glyphs have empty borders on all four sides, to prevent confusing (or just ugly) connections between adjacent tiles.

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.

|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.

Also, bins look decent and up/down stairs look okay. This set looks its best with Sphr's graphics.

I did not use much of the pretty but confusing art I see in many of the other sets. I tried for a while to incorporate many of these but found that with the multiple uses for most characters they were just wrong far too often to be useful. The only ones that seem to work are the dwarves which I took from Flying Mage / Guybrush. The pretty 3Dish fonts as well just seem to look muddier and be less legible. I love it and my husband has been happily playing it for months.

I decided to create this tileset to fit my usual screen resolution (1920x1200). I tried giving it a clean look. To use it in windowed mode try these settings in the init file: WINDOWEDX:1900, WINDOWEDY:1160, GRID:95:58.}}

|comments=A modified version of Bisasam's 20x20 tileset above. Walls were changed to make smooth curves and circles, broken arrows were changed to look broken, periods and commas were raised to center more closely on the tile, the seed tile was changed to help distinguish the current level and the one below, and a leaf / root tile was added for the new trees. There may have been a couple other minor changes, but the feel of the tileset should still be the same.

|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.

=Square Tilesets for Edited Raws=

:''If you cannot find the altered raws of a tileset for your version of Dwarf Fortress have a look at the [[Raw tile selector]] tool.''

These tilesets require modified [[raws]] to work properly. Specifically, the tile numbers assigned to some objects (critters, stones, plants) need to be changed and accented characters usually need to be removed from all languages.

|comments= 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. 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... 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! ). Then i have spotted Alexander's Jolly Bastion and took some ideas from him ( big thanks to Alexander too! ) like sky tiles and color. Then i applied Lee's Natural Color Scheme with modified "BLACK" value and here it is! Grim Fortress. It is pretty dark, kinda foggy and i think the name "Grim Fortress" fits well.

|comments=Impressed with the genius of using sprites as tiles, I cobbled together this tileset of my own. It uses Super Foul Egg's superb font as a base, with several sprites also found in other users' sets. Because a lot of letters are used for graphics, I suggest that you [[User:Jackard|remove accented letters from names]] with this set. I also suggest you shift some items to other icons, such as the coniferous trees (change Pine, Cedar, Larch from 024 to 147), the turtle (change 15 to 151), and Quarry Bush leaves (change from 006 to 003).
V2 now with new graphics for walls and liquids, as well as some other tweaks here and there and a first attempt at using dual-color sprites using a cyan base instead of simple greyscale. (Right now implemented for beds, wood and statues.)

You can view a preview map [http://mkv25.net/dfma/map-7000-dragonskull here]. I recommend changing the sky settings in the init.txt file to [SKY:249:1:0:0] for a more natural look.

Update June 11, 2010: Updated to work with the 31.xx versions of Mike Mayday's set. It will probably not look right using it with vanilla Dwarf Fortress.

The required resolution is strange, so run fullscreen with BLACK_SPACE:YES and resolution at 640x480. The MDA card did not actually support displaying the font in 8x14, but ONLY 9x14 mode, see below. Theoretically, you CAN upload this font into EGA video memory though and use it.

Updated new glyphs to be more consistent with the Fixedsys style. - v2.1 - update a few more glyphs, namely the integral, the infinity symbol, and the spade, and a few others I'm forgetting. - v2.2 - update the club and spade, and the music notes - v2.3 - fix the fact that 0xF9 and 0xFA were inadvertently swapped.

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. 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. 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).

|comments=Designed for fullscreen. Inspired by Herrbdog's tileset, I created a shaded tileset targeting the default fullscreen 800x600 resolution. Basicaly, you have the exact same "curses" default tileset but with some shading done to the lower right of each letters and items. I've left alone everything which was related to mining or was meant to be plain, for example the smoothered tiles and the plain tiles in the demo. The reason behind that is that I didn't find much logic to have those graphics shaded as they could possibly connect on any direction on the screen, which would make the shading a little strange. Please note that this tileset is only a "beta". I might work on it again if there is enough people who like it and would like improvements.

Some of this article still assumes that the fortress will start in Spring, but that's not necessarily true any more. I don't know how to fix it without making things more complicated though. --[[User:Dree12|Dree12]] ([[User Talk:Dree12|talk]]) 20:31, 14 July 2014 (UTC)

== Change name to "Fortress Mode Quick start"? ==
I feel like this page should be moved to [[Fortress mode quick start]], not only to be consistent with the name [[Adventure mode quick start]], but also to make it so that the name is more descriptive. "Quickstart guide" could mean anything, really. (For me at least, the current title feels like the name for some hypothetical "how to get DF running" guide, moreso than a fortress mode guide.) As a bonus, the new name doesn't imply that fortress mode is somehow the "default" or "main" mode of play <code>:)</code> . —[[User:Lue|Lue]] ([[User talk:Lue|talk]]) 02:42, 21 July 2014 (UTC)

:The game is called 'Dwarf Fortress' and the game mode at issue is called 'Dwarf Fortress' so I think it's reasonable to imply that this is the default mode of play. I don't actually care what the article's title is, but I don't really think anyone is confused by the status quo and if they are I don't think they can handle anything more challenging than legends mode. So I guess this is a vote against.[[User:Qalnor|Qalnor]] ([[User talk:Qalnor|talk]])

== Articles not Transferring over between versions ==
I was just browsing through this guide when I noticed that the "starting site" and "preparing carefully" articles are red links. Those pages existed for the last version of this article, but apparently they haven't been transferred over to DF2014 (that's the current version?). I really don't know much about this game or how wikis work, but for anybody else who views this guide it might be useful to see about getting those pages updated so the "where to start" article doesn't have red links in really important places.

"Also, it would be helpful to build a few wheelbarrows to make hauling large objects easier. Queue up 2 or 3 at the carpenter's workshop (they're located near the bottom of the list, but remember that scrolling up with - warps to the bottom of the list). While the wheelbarrows are being built, select your stone stockpile with q and use w to increase "Max Wheelbarrow" to 3 (the maximum). Your dwarves will automatically move wheelbarrows to the stockpile once they are built."

Hey, I really appreciate the work that went into making this guide. I've tried a few times in the past to get into Dwarf Fortress - but I never came victor. I thought it was way too complex for me, and even though I love complex simulators, I finally gave up.

Recently it started bugging me again, and I gave it another chance. Thanks to this guide, I finally *understood* the meaning of the game and I can now play and discover much like anyone else. There was just this single lever to (P)ull, and now that's on it can never be turned off.

Thanks a bunch, guys. --[[Special:Contributions/94.36.51.106|94.36.51.106]] 08:51, 1 November 2014 (UTC)

I got some issues with my "general purpose stockpiles", whem digging it, i got many leftover chert . . . I don't know how to remove those stuff to create a fully vacant stockpiles.

In the guide we get a note about it, but no info on how to change this. Hide the chert let them still on the tiles and dumping them, not make something for me at this point . . .

Thank for the guide and for the help --[[Special:Contributions/89.3.210.92|89.3.210.92]] 18:24, 4 January 2015 (UTC)

== Not starting with Plump Helmets ==

I've started several different fortresses using the default loadouts, but have yet to start with a farmer or any Plump Helmet seeds. I'm using version 40.24, not sure if that matters. I do start with Shade Thorn saplings and Devil Mushrooms. Can I make booze with these instead of the plump helmets?
:These plants aren't present in the vanilla/unedited game. I recommend you ask in a thread or forum that's familiar with the mods you use. --[[User:Button|Button]] ([[User talk:Button|talk]]) 01:12, 13 February 2015 (UTC)

The only mod I've installed was a tileset mod. No extra items or seeds. I've already got a decent sized fortress now, is there a way to get plump helmets other than starting with them?
:Again, you have plants which aren't present in the unmodified game. We have no way of knowing if plump helmets even still exist in the mod you're using. I suggest you ask at wherever you downloaded your copy of Dwarf Fortress from. --[[User:Button|Button]] ([[User talk:Button|talk]]) 18:29, 13 February 2015 (UTC)

:If you installed a new version over an older version, any mods might remain and cause problems. Although, if your game has plump helmets at all, you will probably be able to purchase them from the dwarven caravan (they always seem to bring plenty).--[[User:Loci|Loci]] ([[User talk:Loci|talk]]) 21:13, 13 February 2015 (UTC)

I've never used a mod with this game before other than this new tileset. There were no old versions on this computer. The last dwarven caravan had no plump helmets either. It seems I'm SOL. I'll have to go with aboveground farms until I figure out what's wrong. Thanks for trying to help though. <small>– [[template:unsigned|unsigned]] comment by [[User:50.103.31.170|50.103.31.170]]</small>

== Grazers ==
So after the issue with the plump helmets I now realize that none of my grazing animals will eat. They simply walk around, remove all the grass, then promptly starve to death, regardless of how large the pen is that I put them in. I'm starting to think that my entire game may be bugged. I really like the world I have now and would really like to keep playing it. If anyone has any ideas on how to fix my grazers it would be greatly appreciated. <small>– [[template:unsigned|unsigned]] comment by [[User:50.103.31.170|50.103.31.170]]</small>

Turns out the "tileset" I downloaded changes a huge number of things in the game, adding plants, animals, weapons and all kinds of other things. Real nice of the guy that made it to mention that in his post. Sorry for wasting your time. <small>– [[template:unsigned|unsigned]] comment by [[User:50.103.31.170|50.103.31.170]]</small>

== Masterwork? ==

This page is not really a must-read topic, but it is the single most thorough and detailed article on the entire wiki, perhaps on the best articles in the whole dwarffortressverse. (Horrible -verse name alert) I believe this article should be masterwork. Is that enough to negate the must-read requirement? {{User:Latias1290/Sig/src|17:41|March 26, 2015}}

:I don't think the "must-read" topic requirement is as important as other criteria. Feel free to change this page's rating if you see fit. —[[User:Lethosor|<span style="color:#074">Lethosor</span>]] ([[User talk:Lethosor|<span style="color:#092">talk</span>]]) 23:06, 26 March 2015 (UTC)

== Strictness of instructions ==
There are a lot of instructions like "dig a 3x20 hallway", "make a 3x3 stairway", "two tiles past that, dig a 11x11 room". I believe it's detrimental to the creativity of beginners and ultimately the variety of fortresses to give such exact instructions. Instead, something like "make a stairway", "dig a large room", etc should be preferred. In addition, a paragraph talking about reasonable dimensions ("most fortresses will do with a 2x2 staircase", "a 3 tile wide hallway is enough for the main hallways of 200+ fortresses") should give beginners a sufficient scale to base their decisions on.

The question is whether it's better to give new players actual numbers to follow or instead give them rough dimensions and tell them to experiment.
I fear that the former will rear players that build nothing but cookie cutter fortresses following exact dimensions of this guide; while the latter might simply be inferior as a guide.

:I tried to remove some rigid measurements from the guide a while back, so I don't object to removing others and adding more explanations. Of course, the minimum 3-tile-wide hallway to allow for wagon access is important to mention, but I can't think of anything else off the top of my head. —[[User:Lethosor|<span style="color:#074">Lethosor</span>]] ([[User talk:Lethosor|<span style="color:#092">talk</span>]]) 18:40, 26 July 2015 (UTC)

== Perhaps more information on trading would be useful? ==

What should I get? What should I be trading? [[Special:Contributions/216.254.133.138|216.254.133.138]] 21:28, 21 August 2015 (UTC)
:I think the most reliable thing for trading away would be prepared meals? They're relatively high value, and not very difficult to make lots of. [[Special:Contributions/2602:302:D111:7290:9357:C7C4:D315:4B93|2602:302:D111:7290:9357:C7C4:D315:4B93]] 01:38, 22 August 2015 (UTC)
::I expanded the trading section a little. Probably needs some correction and changes. In the end, I decided to omit the prepared meals, as a couple of barrels full of lavish meals created by a legendary cook can easily buy the entire caravan 3 times over. It makes the game ridiculously easy really quick, and I figure new players probably have more fun in the long run if they can't get everything from a caravan right away. I also mentioned the usual suspects for missing mood items as must-have supply, without explicitly mentioning moods as they're a bit spoiler-y and not mentioned anywhere else in the guide. Not sure if we should a) not mention these altogether, b) mention them without explaining why they're important, or c) list them with an explanation and link to mood page. Personally I think it's fine as I made it though.[[User:CLA|CLA]] ([[User talk:CLA|talk]]) 13:54, 23 August 2015 (UTC)

Screenshot

2016-05-30T22:41:49Z

Enzanki ars: Link to the correct rule.

These instructions explain how to create a '''screenshot''' to save or post on a wiki, forum, or elsewhere.

__TOC__

== Capturing the image ==
# Make the screen look how you want it - centered, open programs, etc. A screenshot will be wysiwyg, exactly what's shown on your monitor or in the active window (unless you [[Screenshot#Edit_the_image|edit the image]], which is not hard).
The next step depends on your operating system.

=== Windows ===
# Make sure your Dwarf Fortress window has the focus.
# Press {{k|Alt}}+{{k|Print Screen}} to capture the active window. The image will be placed in your operating system clipboard.
#* If you want to capture the whole screen, press {{k|Print Screen}} instead.
# Open your image editor (usually MSPaint).
# Press {{k|Ctrl}}+{{k|v}} to paste the saved screenshot into paint.
#* You now have a bitmap of the screenshot. You can edit this as with any bitmap in paint. (Handy for circling key areas, adding arrows, blacking out personal/private info, cropping, whatever.)
# Under <File>, select <Save As...>, and save your image as a .PNG or .JPG file. For standard tilesets, PNG files are preferred as they tend to be smaller and do not lose any detail during compression.

=== MacOS ===
# Press {{k|Command}}+{{k|Shift}}+{{k|4}}; the mouse cursor will turn into a crosshair.
# Press {{k|Space}} to turn the mouse cursor into a camera icon.
# Click on the window you want to capture.
#* A new PNG file appears on your desktop, which you can rename and upload.

== Adding an image to the wiki ==

=== Upload to a new File: page ===
First, your image needs to be uploaded to a simple wiki page that exists solely to contain your image.
# Give the file on your PC a ''unique and meaningful name'' (as per the [[rules#I]]). "7dwarves", "my fort" or "screenshot" probably aren't good choices!
# In the lower left sidebar of any wiki page, in the lower section marked "toolbox", click '''[[Special:Upload|Upload file]]'''.
# On the file upload page, use the '''Choose file''' button to select your file.
# It is considerate to fill in the '''Summary''' field with either a short description or the same text you might include under the image in your article.
# Click the '''Upload file''' button. This creates a new page in the wiki containing your file, using your file name.

=== Add to an article ===
Once your image is uploaded to a File: page, you can edit other pages to add it to them.
# Copy the image's name, which is the page name ''minus'' the first word, "File:".
#* If the image is on page [[:File:Copper_strike.PNG]], you want ''only'' '''Copper_strike.PNG'''.
# Go to the article where you want the image to appear and click '''edit'''.
# Add the name in double brackets, the same as creating any wiki active link, with the word "Image:", at the front of the image file name. Using just the file name gives the image as it was saved, so adding '''<nowiki>[[Image:Copper_strike.PNG]]</nowiki>''' to a wiki page gives this: <br/><br />
[[Image:Copper_strike.PNG]] <br/> <br />
That is the actual file, actual size.
# Click '''Show preview''' to make sure the layout is to your satisfaction.
# Click '''Save''' to commit your changes.

=== Advanced layout ===
You can modify the appearance of your image in the wiki by adding [http://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Help:Images additional options] after the file name, with pipes ( | ) between them. The most useful options are:
; Thumbnail : "thumb" reduces the file size, making it fit in a wiki article better. Clicking the thumbnail image takes the reader to the actual file page with the full-size image.
; Size : You can specify the size of the thumbnail by designating the maximum width in pixels, such as "150px" or "300px".
; Alignment : "left" or "right" of text (default is centered above/below.)
; Caption : adds comments below the image. All wiki editing tags can be used. No tag is needed, just a final pipe ( | ) and the text.
[[Image:Copper_strike.PNG|thumb|right|200px|''(click to enlarge)''<br />
'''Copper Strike'''<br />This dwarf has struck copper.]]
For example, if we type this:
<nowiki>[[Image:Copper_strike.PNG|thumb|right|200px|''(click to enlarge)''<br />
'''Copper Strike'''<br />This dwarf has struck copper.]]</nowiki>
We get an image that is (as shown to the right):
* '''thumb'''nailed to a smaller size (click to enlarge)
* Aligned '''right'''
* Sized to '''200''' pixels max ''(width or height, which hits that limit first)''
* & labeled with that exact text below it, including formatting and line breaks

== Posting an image in a forum ==
To post an image in a forum on the web takes a little more work, but the steps are parallel to the above.
# Create the file as above.
# You have to '''host''' it somewhere. There are many good free web-hosts available; do a web search for "image hosting" and you'll find all you need (and will probably recognize a few). Follow the instructions to upload the image - should be generally similar to the '''Upload file''' steps for the wiki, above.
#:''(If you find an image on the web, it's possible to right-click and, in "properties", get the address there and use that as the hosted image. However, this is unreliable - if that image gets removed or that page changed, you can lose your link, and some sites prevent such linking. Uploading your own copy of an image to your own hosting site account is the only reliable method.)
#* Note - Do '''not''' use this wiki to host images for linking on the forum or web - that is against the Terms of Use of most wikis, including this one.
# Once you have it hosted, copy the name - it will usually be something like
#: <nowiki>http://www.freeimagehostingsite.com/albums/blah/blah/blah/myimage.jpg</nowiki>
# Each forum or bulletin board uses slightly different code; the [http://www.bay12games.com/forum/index.php DF/Bay12 games forum] uses:
#: '''<nowiki>[img]</nowiki>'''<nowiki>http://www.freeimagehostingsite.com/albums/blah/blah/blah/myimage.jpg</nowiki>'''<nowiki>[/img]</nowiki>'''
#* ''(To see the code that a different forum uses, find a post with an image in it and click '''quote''' - you should be able to see the coding that precedes and follows the file URL/address (the <nowiki>"http://...etc etc"</nowiki> part). You can copy that, paste it into your post, and then replace that file name with your hosted image file name - done.)
# Use '''preview''' to make sure it looks right, and then post.

==Edit the image==
Use any image editor - MS Paint is common on Windows systems.

Open the image, edit as you prefer (adding text, circles, arrows, or cropping for size), and then save - maybe to a slightly different file name, so your original isn't corrupted - just in case.

Pro Tip: ''First'', make a copy of the image and give ''that'' the new name - then open and edit ''that'' file. Then, when you hit {{k|Ctl}} + {{k|s}} out of habit, you'll be saving to that file name, not over the original.
