40d:Graphics set repository

You may be looking for general information on tilesets or the List of user character sets.

Graphics sets are a type of tileset for use with Graphics Mode, which allows the game to display different tiles for creatures. Only creature tiles are supported so far. They were previously known as 'Object Tilesets'. The tilesets page has detailed instructions on how to use these.

16×16 square graphics sets

Dystopian Rhetoric

Download: DIY version EZ Download Pack- No Installation! (5.43MB download) Updated graphics_example.txt file. Author: DR Tile Size: 16×16 Resolution: 1280×400 Current Version: DF Compatibility: Unspecified Installation: 10/12/07: Okay, so I've definitely been slacking off here. But I'm vaguely annoyed at myself for constantly failing to update this so, what the hell, here's what I've done so far. It is by no means comprehensive. Most of the new dwarf jobs are in, with a few exceptions (blacksmith [uses metalsmith], clothier [uses weaver] several farmer, mechanic and mason jobs [use the base tile for that "class"], and the architect [the trade minister or something, I think]). The military also got an overhaul. Still a lot of work to do, and I'm not happy with a bunch of the stuff did make it in. Also, I'm not updating the easy pack until I get a proper handle on this and get most of it done.
