The Deadly Hume: /* History */

Hi. Here's some of the messing around I do with Dwarf Fortress.
=tileset(s)=
==Ugly 12x12 v1==

[[File:Thedeadlyhume-ugly-v1.png]]
Unfortunately I'm not one of those people who can read the default set like The Matrix, so I'm a fan of alternate tilesets. I started this from scratch because I wanted a 12x12 tileset that was legible and clean and yet a little brutal in its appearance. Basically I'm nuts and wanted to get a 100x60 tiled window to fit in a 1280x1024 display. (see below)

I've adapted some symbols (such as the plump helmet/tree and the statue) from other more popular 16x16 tilesets, other symbols (like some furniture) I've made from scratch according to the clean-yet-brutish aesthetic. Particular attention was paid to the upstairs and downstairs symbols so I could distinguish them better when rendered on a 12x12 tile. With letters that commonly used for other items, such as using X for the up/down stairs symbol or O for the wall end, I've done just enough to make them suggestive of their other purpose without affecting readability of text too much.

I believe 40d12 can use tilesets in PNG format now, so you may be able to use the above file as-is, but otherwise you'll have to convert them to BMP format. Consult the [[tilesets]] page for detailed instructions.

I probably won't happy with putting this on the main [[tileset repository]] until I've done the rows of accented characters to the same style, which will come at my next stab at it I suppose.

I'm very much a fan of [[User:Sphr/gfx set|Sphr's graphic sets]] for 12x12 in conjunction with this tileset.

Graphics info, most of it as above. Set GRAPHICS to YES to turn it all on.
This will use the "raw/graphics" folder for tile information. Currently
this is limited to whatever creature graphics you have downloaded. The
game comes with a few pictures to demonstrate. As of September 2008, the
Dwarf Fortress Wiki has graphical tilesets available at

This is the dimensions in tiles of the display grid. Minimum x is 80.
Minimum y is 25. Maximums are 200. Make sure the window size or full
screen resolution matches the grid/tile size if you don't want the display
to be squashed or stretched. The default windowed font has tiles that
are 8x12 pixels, for instance, so for a 80x25 grid, you use a 640x300
window, and for a 125x50 grid, you'd use a 1000x600 window. FULLGRID is
used in full screen mode, whether graphics is on or not.

''22 Aug 2009'' - Bought bigger monitor. Decided I can live with 16x16 now. Going to work on a transparent PNG set of Ugly for that size.
