Meph Tileset

Download: Official Forum Thread, for windows or for linux (Raws/Graphics only) Author: Meph Tile Size: 32×32 Resolution: Variable Current Version: 5.5 DF Compatibility: 0.47.04 Installation: Instructions at download site Last updated: Mar 11, 2020. The Meph tileset is the first graphical 32x32 tileset for Dwarf Fortress. It was born from my research about tilesets, finding old, abandoned 24x and 32x sprites by Dibujor and Obsidian Soul, both inactive since 2015. I thought that their sprites are too good to waste and started with them as a basis for a new tileset. The Meph tileset uses Dfhack and TWBT.

Most of the new 2012 animals and animal-men are present, though some are still TBD. The art style is clear and consistent with clean lines and solid colors; classic pixel art.

A graphics set that focuses on consistency and stylized realism to harmonize the different tiles and give a more "medieval" atmosphere to the game. Unlike other tilesets, this also specifically sets aside different tiles for grass with modifications to their graphics raws. This makes it easier to distinguish pasturable areas from bare rock and sand, tell apart different biomes, as well as letting you plan green (or blue, if you're going with cave moss) gardens along your entrance halls. Just make sure to forbid traffic on it to avoid trampling them to bare ground.

Download: Github Author: Taffer Tile Size: 10×10, 20×20 Resolution: Any Current Version: 6.6.0 (Github: 47.04) DF Compatibility: 0.47.04 Installation: Unzip over DF install Last updated: Apr 4, 2020 Sharp looking, vanilla styled tilesets that strive to strike a good balance between nice, attractive graphics, while avoiding odd graphical oddities. I have positioned many tiles carefully and put a lot of thought into each one, often obsessively so. I find the cumulative differences from the ASCII add quite a bit to the game. I'm a bit of a perfectionist and the update log attests to that, but the result is pleasing and well-polished. Alternate walls are included, as is the color set and racial graphics for dwarves, humans, elves, goblins, and kobolds.
