Tahin: April 2008 changed to April 2009

'''Toady One''' (or just '''Toady''') is the nickname used by Tarn Adams, co-designer and programmer of Dwarf Fortress. He can be reached at [http://www.bay12games.com/about.html About Bay 12 Games] or the [http://www.bay12games.com/forum/ Bay 12 Games Forum].

In April 2009, Toady was adopted by [[Scamps]].

The other designer is Zach Adams ([[ThreeToe]]), his older brother.

Music

Tahin: Changed the link to point to the new forum, as the old one is no longer accessible.

The in-game '''music''' is played on a 6-string guitar by [[Toady One]] himself.
Tabs to the game song have been provided by Toady One in [http://www.bay12games.com/forum/index.php?topic=651.0 this] thread on the Dwarf Fortress forum.

Music can be turned off in the [[init.txt]] file, and the volume can be adjusted in the {{key|Esc}} menu.

Do I really need wood

2008-05-11T00:53:22Z

Tahin: Fixed a small typo

'''Wood''' is necessary to build [[beds]] and [[axle|axles]].
Without beds your dwarves will get unhappy thoughts from sleeping on the ground, and without axles you are severely limited in power transferring. You will need wood to produce [[charcoal]] for metal production, if you lack magma, though this can be imported.

Bins, buckets and barrels can be made from metal, though they are much more easily made from wood. They require three metals of the same type and fuel; wooden barrels, buckets and bins require only one log. Early on, it may also be useful to build a bucket or two from wood, in order to build a well and bring water to an injured dwarf.

It is a common challenge to play on a treeless biome, though most players choose to import wood, and bring some with them in the starting screen.

Do I really need wood

2008-05-11T00:52:28Z

Tahin: Magma forges, smelters, etc no longer need to be magma safe. Thus the initial charcoal is unecessary.

Tileset repository

Tahin: Fixed a typo.

== Square tilesets ==

These are all the character sets with square tiles, except for the character sets with 16x16 tiles. Those are listed [[List_of_user_character_sets#For use_with_graphics_sets|below]]. Text in square tilesets (as opposed to tilesets with shorter width) is usually more difficult to read, but the map is not distorted.

== For use with graphics sets ==

These are a subset of square character sets, the 16x16 tilesets. Since most graphics sets employ 16x16 tiles, these are grouped here. However, these can be used on their own. Alternate sets for objects can be found at [[graphics sets]]. The target resolution is always 1280x400 for these.

It's not a problem that comes up often, and it still doesn't look that bad, but I'll get to it eventually. To Marble Dice: I hope you don't take offense to my using your font as a base for this one.

|size=10x12
|resolution=800x600
|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.

Tahin: Added "Diagonal Walls" tileset.

== Square tilesets ==

These are all the character sets with square tiles, except for the character sets with 16x16 tiles. Those are listed [[List_of_user_character_sets#For use_with_graphics_sets|below]]. Text in square tilesets (as opposed to tilesets with shorter width) is usually more difficult to read, but the map is not distorted.

== For use with graphics sets ==

These are a subset of square character sets, the 16x16 tilesets. Since most graphics sets employ 16x16 tiles, these are grouped here. However, these can be used on their own. Alternate sets for objects can be found at [[graphics sets]]. The target resolution is always 1280x400 for these.

|author=[[User:Eagle of Fire|Eagle of Fire]]
|size=10x12
|resolution=800x600
|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.

|comments=The IBM EGA character set, dumped from the 6277356 IBM EGA BIOS ROM. This font is as would be displayed on an EGA/VGA with the 9-pixel-width mode enabled. Best for a 72:35 aspect ratio. The required resolution is strange, so run fullscreen with BLACK_SPACE:YES and resolution at 640x480. This font is actually different from the 8x14 version in that 20 characters have been replaced with the original MDA wide versions. These 'extra' wide characters are sandwiched in between the end of the 8x14 and beginning of the 8x8 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=The original? IBM VGA 8x16 character set, (from http://madscientistroom.org/fpga/default-8x16-bram.html) as would be displayed on a VGA card with the 9-pixel-width disabled. Best for an 8:5 aspect ratio. The required resolution is strange, so run fullscreen with BLACK_SPACE:YES and resolution at 640x480. This rom has not yet been dumped from a real VGA card, and is coming from a secondary source, so it may be replaced later if I find the real font is different.

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.

Yes, its SUPPOSED to look like that. v1.1 - fixed character 0x02 background (filled smiley), filled in the card suits, minor touch up to the comma, fix black instead of magenta on the greyscale blocks and other tweaks to them, redrew the square block (was 'too clean' before) v1.1a - fixed spade by adding 1 pixel at tip so it doesn't look like another club

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'.

Welcome to the Dwarf Fortress Wiki! This is a collection of user-submitted guides, information and advice for the Roguelike game [http://www.bay12games.com/dwarves/ "Dwarf Fortress"].

I started playing dwarf fortress a while ago, back in the 2d version. I quickly became addicted and my social life has suffered greatly. Now that it is possible, I prefer to play above-ground fortresses, for some reason.
