I thought that their sprites are too good to waste and started with them as a basis for a new tileset.” The Meph tileset used Dfhack and TWBT.

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.

Taffer's Tilesets & Graphics

Screenshot of game using Taffer's Tileset & Graphics

Download: Github Author: Taffer Tile Size: 10×10, 20×20 Resolution: Any Current Version: 6.6.0 (Github: 47.04) DF Compatibility: 0.47.05 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.
