Square tilesets

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

Anikki

Title [[#{{{filename}}}|{{{filename}}}]] Author Anikki Dated 2008-7-27 Tile Size 8×8 Resolution 640×200 native. Versions Comments Based on the original IBM CGA Character set with a lot of tweaks. The characters remain as descriptive yet universal as possible. I chose the CGA set because it is in my opinion the square set with the best readability. This set is for those who like the basic ASCII look where every pixel has meaning or (multiple meanings). Download the BMP There is also an upscaled 16x16 version of this set available for fullscreen use below.

Title [[#{{{filename}}}|{{{filename}}}]] Author Anikki Dated 2008-7-27 Tile Size 10×10 Resolution 800×250 native. Versions Comments Based primarily on Tocky and Plac1d's sets (which are brilliant). The characters remain as descriptive as possible with some tweaks to the font for better readability and some changes to symbols for more consistency. This set is for those who like the basic ASCII look where every pixel has meaning or (multiple meanings). Download the BMP (Note: The up and down ramps are reversed.)

Title [[#{{{filename}}}|{{{filename}}}]] Author Anikki Dated 2008-7-27 Tile Size 20×20 Resolution 1600×500 native. Versions Comments Based primarily on Tocky and Plac1d. This is a scaled up version of the 10x10 tileset for fullscreen use. Download the BMP (Note: The up and down ramps are reversed.)

Dorten

Title [[#{{{filename}}}|{{{filename}}}]] Author Dorten Dated 2009-2-13 Tile Size 9×9 Resolution 720×225 Versions Comments It's improved Savok's tileset, which is changed to make walls look smooth. Plus another little differences.

Title [[#{{{filename}}}|{{{filename}}}]] Author Dorten Dated 2009-2-13 Tile Size 9×9 Resolution 720×225 Versions Comments Minor tweak so the 7's don't look like question marks.

Hanuman

Title [[#{{{filename}}}|{{{filename}}}]] Author Hanuman Dated 2008-7-23 Tile Size 12×12 Resolution 900×300 Versions Comments This is basically the curses_800x600.bmp file converted to 12x12. It may be slightly different but it is close enough for me. Get the .BMP here. Note: If the tileset doesn't look right played at 900x300, try changing the resolution to 966x325.

Haowan

Title [[#{{{filename}}}|{{{filename}}}]] Author Haowan Dated 2007-11-2 Tile Size 18×18 Resolution 1440×450 Versions Comments An enlarged version of a square version of the default set.

Herrbdog

Title [[#{{{filename}}}|{{{filename}}}]] Author Herrbdog Dated 2007-10-30 Tile Size 12×12 Resolution 960×300 Versions Comments A larger version of this tileset is available below.

Lord Dullard

Title [[#{{{filename}}}|{{{filename}}}]] Author Lord Dullard/Exponent Dated 2009-3-30 Tile Size 12×12 Resolution 960×300 native Versions Comments Adjusted by Exponent, and with new dwarf characters added. A version of the Unknown 12×12 tileset with smoothed walls. Example: Wiltedblight.

Lord Nightmare

Title [[#{{{filename}}}|{{{filename}}}]] Author Lord Nightmare/IBM Dated 2007-10-30 Tile Size 8×8 Resolution 640×400 Versions Comments The original IBM CGA Character set, thick variant, dumped from addresses 0x1800-0x1fff the 5788005 IBM Character Generator ROM. This is the far more common 'thick' variant. Best viewed at 8:5 aspect ratio.

Lord Nightmare's 8×8 CGA tileset

Title [[#{{{filename}}}|{{{filename}}}]] Author Lord Nightmare/IBM Dated 2008-6-6 Tile Size 8×8 Resolution 640×400 Versions Comments The original IBM CGA Character set, thin variant, dumped from addresses 0x1000-0x17ff the 5788005 IBM Character Generator ROM. This is the less common 'thin' variant, which required soldering on two pins and jumpering them on the CGA card to use. Best viewed at 8:5 aspect ratio.

File:EGA8x8.png

Title [[#{{{filename}}}|{{{filename}}}]] Author Lord Nightmare/IBM Dated 2007-10-30 Tile Size 8×8 Resolution 640×400 Versions Comments The IBM EGA 8×8 Character set, dumped from the 6277356 IBM EGA BIOS ROM. This is ALMOST 100% IDENTICAL to the CGA thick font, but has minor modifications (23 pixels total) done to four characters: the capital 'S', the club sign, the spade sign, and the large asterisk (the one with a hole in the middle, char 0x0f, not the shift-8 one which is char 0x2a). There is no thin variant of this font. Best viewed at 8:5 aspect ratio.

Maus

Title [[#{{{filename}}}|{{{filename}}}]] Author maus Dated 2007-10-30 Tile Size 9×9 Resolution 720×225 Versions Comments Another square tileset that's usable on low resolutions, modeled after a common font used on the Nintendo Entertainment System. An 18x18 version for 1440x450 resolution is also available here, and is really nice on a widescreen monitor. An NES palette is available here.

Markavian

Title [[#{{{filename}}}|{{{filename}}}]] Author Markavian Dated 2007-12-4 Tile Size 12×12 Resolution 960×300 Versions Comments This revision is designed to work with DF version 0.27.169.33a with special tiles for stairs and ramps, as well as the changes present in the earlier version such as bones, walls, trees and swords. Available in mkv curses 12×12 and 6x6 v2.zip. As seen in the fortress of Axegear.

Title [[#{{{filename}}}|{{{filename}}}]] Author Markavian Dated 2007-10-30 Tile Size 12×12 Resolution 960×300 Versions Comments An older revision of my square tileset, featuring more detailed symbols, with alterations to certain text characters to look more like ingame items. The walls are infilled now. Available in mkv curses 12×12 and 6x6 v2.zip. As seen in the fortress of Inkflew.

Paul

Title [[#{{{filename}}}|{{{filename}}}]] Author Paul Dated 2008-9-5 Tile Size 10×10 Resolution 800×250 for 80×25 grid size, others just multiply grid by 10. Versions Comments Custom tileset I made for my own use when the adjustable grid sizes were released for DF. Some accented letters cut slightly to allow for larger letter display. Contains several of Tocky's tiles (barrels, some trees, dimple cups, coins, slightly modified armor stand). Others are either made by me or adjusted from curses_800x600 tiles.

Savok

Savok's tiny, non-updated tileset

Title [[#{{{filename}}}|{{{filename}}}]] Author Savok Dated 2007-10-30 Tile Size 9×9 Resolution 720×225 Versions Comments There is no doubt that this tileset is old. This must be distinctly understood if anything wonderful is to come of your use of it. You may like Dorten's revision more. The following is the original description: I dislike curses_640x300.bmp due to its lack of any kind of graphics for things like a bed or a barrel and the fact that it distorts my beautiful circles, so I made a similarish tileset to fix those.

Sir Henry

Not shown due to size

Title [[#{{{filename}}}|{{{filename}}}]] Author Sir Henry Dated 2009-8-19 Tile Size 32×32 Resolution 2560×800 Versions Comments Recently I learned of a monitor displaying 2560 pixels horizontally, and I decided it needed a tileset to put to use. Taking the tileset I use (Kelora 16x16 diagonal) and doubling it, I was able to get a decent tileset. Smoothing the edges, and redoing some glyphs to get a better look (or just messing up some to bad to fix), I was able to achieve this.

Teeto_K

Title [[#{{{filename}}}|{{{filename}}}]] Author Teeto_K Dated 2008-10-24 Tile Size 18×18 Resolution 1440×450 Versions Comments A tileset based on Maus's 18x18 version of his "Nostalgia" tileset, however, it has been heavily revised. The entire font has been "smoothed over", and many of the symbols changed to more "graphical" representations of the items they represent. An attempt to fill the void of "graphic heavy" tilesets in the 18x18 tile-size. A special emphasis is placed on maximizing the text's readability, while still providing a "graphics enhanced" play area. Special thanks to Maus for the font, and Guybrush for the inspiration.

Terbert

Title [[#{{{filename}}}|{{{filename}}}]] Author Terbert Dated 2009-6-30 Tile Size 10×10 Resolution 800×250 Versions Comments This is Terbert's First tileset

Tocky

Title [[#{{{filename}}}|{{{filename}}}]] Author Tocky Dated 2007-11-15 Tile Size 10×10 Resolution 800×250 native, 800×500 for fullscreen. Versions Comments I tried to make all the pictographic symbols as descriptive as possible: the only ones I've spotted that show up in odd places are the staircase symbols, '<' and '>', which are used as tags on barrel descriptions, and don't match -- but I'm willing to live with that in order to be able to tell up-stairs from down- ones. With everything else, I just tried to maximize clarity and readability and to keep them consistent. I'm really very pleased with how this set turned out.

Turnip

Title [[#{{{filename}}}|{{{filename}}}]] Author Turnip Dated 2009-7-9 Tile Size 12×12 Resolution 960×300 Versions Comments My revision of Markavian's tileset, made to be more "curvy"

Unknown

Title [[#{{{filename}}}|{{{filename}}}]] Author Unknown Dated 2007-10-30 Tile Size 12×12 Resolution 960×300 Versions Comments This is a tileset submitted by an unknown user from the IP address 86.43.81.125.

Unknown 12×12 v2

Title [[#{{{filename}}}|{{{filename}}}]] Author Unknown Dated 2007-11-24 Tile Size 12×12 Resolution 960×300 Versions Comments This is very similar to the above tileset, but has some noticeable differences. I have no idea where I got it from. It's great on a 1024x768 CRT monitor in windowed mode. I use it in a 1000x500 window with [BLACKSPACE:YES]. --JT

Xenomorph

Title [[#{{{filename}}}|{{{filename}}}]] Author Xenomorph Dated 2008-8-9 Tile Size 8×8 Resolution 640×200 Versions Comments This is the tileset used by Acorn computers, starting with the BBC Micro. This version is as it would have appeared in 40-column modes (and shuffled a little to adapt it to CP437). It also looks nice at double resolution. Download the BMP.

Yayo

yayo's c64 Tileset

Title [[#{{{filename}}}|{{{filename}}}]] Author Yayo Dated 2007-10-30 Tile Size 8×8 Resolution 640×200 Versions Comments Name: Yayo's C64; Based on the charset of the commodore 64. It's a flat style, but it's clean and also highly readable. I recreated all the missing chars like letters with accents and symbols, trying to get a c64 style as much as possible. If it's too small, use the 16×16 version below. :)

yayo's Tunur Tileset

Title [[#{{{filename}}}|{{{filename}}}]] Author Yayo Dated 2007-10-30 Tile Size 13×13 Resolution 1040×325 Versions Comments Name: Yayo's Tunur; According to the language files of DF, Tunur means "style" in dwarf language. It may require a bit to get used to some symbols, but it's a very clean tileset. (It's just a bit weird. :P)

yayo's Oreslam Tileset

Title [[#{{{filename}}}|{{{filename}}}]] Author Yayo Dated 2009-09-12 Tile Size 20×20 Resolution 1920×1200 Versions Comments Name: Yayo's Oreslam; Just like the previous one, this tileset is named according to the dwarf language: or-es-lam means "Large Clear Stone". I decided to create this tileset to fit my usual screen resolution (1920x1200). I tried giving it a clean look. To use it in windowed mode try these settings in the init file: WINDOWEDX:1900, WINDOWEDY:1160, GRID:95:58.

Zaratustra

Zaratustra's 8×8 tileset

Title [[#{{{filename}}}|{{{filename}}}]] Author Zaratustra Dated 2007-10-30 Tile Size 8×8 Resolution 640×200 or 640×400 Versions Comments The MSX and MSX2 font, shuffled around to fit the char set. Double lines were added.

16×16 tilesets

The 16×16 tilesets are a subset of square character sets. 16×16 is a frequently used size, as shown by the number of tilesets in this section. This is probably because all of the best creature graphics sets use 16×16 tiles. Those alternate sets for creatures can be found at graphics sets. If your screen is too small for these, turn on BLACK_SPACE!

Aesomatica

Title [[#{{{filename}}}|{{{filename}}}]] Author Aesomatica Dated 2008-11-29 Tile Size 16×16 Resolution 1280×400 native. Versions Comments Tileset intended to build upon Sphr's and Jackard's work, as well as others. Some tiles are original, some are variants and most are copied from various sets the author found pleasing. Notable originals include the broken bolt/ashes tiles, the ballista heads/large hills, the small hills, the ore (gear animation is pleasing, though axle animation is unimproved), ground tiles, and vermin. Also, bins look decent and up/down stairs look okay. This set looks its best with Sphr's graphics.

Anikki

Title [[#{{{filename}}}|{{{filename}}}]] Author Anikki Dated 2008-7-27 Tile Size 16×16 Resolution 1280×400 native. Versions Comments Based on the original IBM CGA Character set with a lot of tweaks. The characters remain as descriptive yet universal as possible. I chose the CGA set because it is in my opinion the suqare set with the best readability. This set is for those who like the basic ASCII look where every pixel has meaning or (multiple meanings). This is a scaled up version for fullscreen use. Download the BMP

Cooz

Cooz's Tileset

Title [[#{{{filename}}}|{{{filename}}}]] Author Cooz Dated 2009-2-28 Tile Size 16×16 Resolution 1280×400 native. Versions Comments v1.1 - 3px wide walls and some other tweaks. Based on Klokjammer and Marble Dice tilesets. Some tiles were taken from other sets, some were made from scratch. The aim was to keep feel of default curses font in 16×16 tileset. There's also version without shading.

Guybrush

Guybrush Tileset

the wilderness...

Title [[#{{{filename}}}|{{{filename}}}]] Author Guybrush Dated 2007-11-15 Tile Size 16×16 Resolution 1280×400 Versions Comments A 16×16 tileset based on the very nice Herrbdog's one, and for use with the superb Dystopian Rhetoric objects. A slightly modified version of Herrbdog's tileset is available below if you want to keep the original ASCII symbols for some objects (just do some cut & paste). It's just a little brighter and with some very slight changes. The tileset shown is a tileset with graphic objects added, for use with Fortress Mode. I recommend to have a look at the color schemes page to find your favorite color settings. The color scheme I used for the screenshots is this one.

Title [[#{{{filename}}}|{{{filename}}}]] Author Herrbdog, modified by Guybrush Dated 2007-10-30 Tile Size 16×16 Resolution 1280×400 Versions Comments Here is the slightly modified version of Herrbdog's tileset which still has all the ASCII characters intact

Herrbdog

Title [[#{{{filename}}}|{{{filename}}}]] Author Herrbdog Dated 2007-10-30 Tile Size 16×16 Resolution 1280×400 Versions Comments The 16×16 version of Herrbdog's tileset. Further discussion of herrbdog's tilesets is available in the Bay 12 forums: http://www.bay12games.com/cgi-local/ultimatebb.cgi?ubb=get_topic&f=2&t=000832

Inquisitor Saturn

Title [[#{{{filename}}}|{{{filename}}}]] Author Inquisitor Saturn Dated 2008-5-18 Tile Size 16×16 Resolution 1280×400 Versions Comments Another 16 by 16 tileset. This one is notable because of the subtle shadowing and a completely original, hand-made font.

Kaishaku

Title [[#{{{filename}}}|{{{filename}}}]] Author Kaishaku Dated 2007-10-30 Tile Size 16×16 Resolution 1280×400 Versions Comments A square 1280×400 font. Simple and legible. Converted from roarl's 16×16 nethack font, on top of super foul egg's template, extended manually and with ideas from lucida console. This is version 1, created in one morning. Screenshots available here.

Kelora

Title [[#{{{filename}}}|{{{filename}}}]] Author Kelora Dated 2009-7-26 Tile Size 16×16 Resolution Versions Comments A square tileset using the diagonal wall concept from Belal and others but simplified drastically to improve the appearance. All the walls line up correctly and have consistent widths. I did not use much of the pretty but confusing art I see in many of the other sets. I tried for a while to incorporate many of these but found that with the multiple uses for most characters they were just wrong far too often to be useful. The only ones that seem to work are the dwarves which I took from Flying Mage / Guybrush. The pretty 3Dish fonts as well just seem to look muddier and be less legible. I love it and my husband has been happily playing it for months.

Klokjammer

Title [[#{{{filename}}}|{{{filename}}}]] Author Klokjammer Dated 2007-10-30 Tile Size 16×16 Resolution 1280×400 Versions Comments Name: "Masked Adventurer" - after tile (0,4), where '@' used to be. A somewhat abstract version of the original curses square tileset, but with the alpha numeric characters shaped so as not to look distorted. Other symbols are either borrowed from or improved from curses, and some (including the dwarves) were created from the ground up. Alternate variations, are available here.

Title [[#{{{filename}}}|{{{filename}}}]] Author Klokjammer Dated 2007-10-31 Tile Size 16×16 Resolution 1280×400 Versions Comments A "clean" version of the above set, one without any fancy tiles (except for the dwarves).

Marble Dice

Title [[#{{{filename}}}|{{{filename}}}]] Author Marble Dice Dated 2007-10-30 Tile Size 16×16 Resolution 1280×400 Versions Comments This tileset attempts to modify the size and aspect ratio of the classic 8x12 terminal/curses font employed by many rougelikes without sacrificing the distinctive character.

Nordic Curses

Title [[#{{{filename}}}|{{{filename}}}]] Author Techhead Dated 2009-3-26 Tile Size 16×16 Resolution 1280×400 Versions Comments My first attempt at a unique curses-style tileset with a Nordic Theme. Some characters have been altered.

PTTG

Title [[#{{{filename}}}|{{{filename}}}]] Author PTTG Dated 2007-11-21 Tile Size 16×16 Resolution 1280×400 Versions Comments A new version! Clean, sharp, and clear. All-original, and large size for big screens! Also features coloured indicators for levers, helping to remove the guesswork. It is good stand-alone, or with my graphics set.

Random832

Title [[#{{{filename}}}|{{{filename}}}]] Author User:Random832 Dated 2009-4-22 Tile Size 16×16 Resolution 1280×800 etc Versions Comments Based on the ＭＳ ゴシック (MS Gothic) japanese font, with some gaps filled in from the VGA 8x16 font, and some other characters tweaked by hand.

Red Jack

Title [[#{{{filename}}}|{{{filename}}}]] Author Jackard Dated 2008-7-22 Tile Size 16x16 Resolution 1280x400 Versions Comments This combines content from other tilesets with Nintendo sprites to give the game a classic dungeon look. Note: Bins are hard to see using this tileset because the "bin" tile is also used as the "up/down staircase" tile. Aesomatica and Martin improve upon this tileset making the bin tile easier to see. You may download all variations of this tileset here.

Sappho

Title [[#{{{filename}}}|{{{filename}}}]] Author Sappho Dated 2007-10-30 Tile Size 16×16 Resolution 1280×400 Versions Comments Another square font, target resolution 1280×400. This one is exactly the same as the default font except it has been made square, painstakingly edited to ensure that nothing looks squished.

Savok

Title [[#{{{filename}}}|{{{filename}}}]] Author Savok Dated 2008-6-16 Tile Size 16×16 Resolution 1280×400 Versions Comments Unsatisfied with any existing tileset, I decided to go about creating my own. Since I can't create from scratch, I had to take tiles from other tilesets and modify them, in an evolution-like manner, until they became how I wanted them. Since most are dramatically different from the tileset I took them from, I believe I can call them original. In the raws, change the tag [TILE:'U'] for humans to [TILE:172]. This changes both the image and corpse of humans to a unique image, which creature graphics cannot do. The elves also get a different tile, [TILE:171]. I plan to make a separate goblin symbol. If you use it and like it, please leave a message for at my talk page or at the DFFD page. This will greatly speed progress, since I won't be doing it just for myself. Note: The DFFD version is updated more frequently and has the changelist.

Super Foul Egg

Title [[#{{{filename}}}|{{{filename}}}]] Author Super Foul Egg Dated 2007-10-30 Tile Size 16×16 Resolution 1280×400 Versions Comments The font is rough as hell and some of the characters still need attention, but it'll do for now. Since this tileset is for graphics mode I'd rather wait for more complete object support than hack in pictures and gum up the UI. Uppercase from this site

Tahin

Title [[#{{{filename}}}|{{{filename}}}]] Author Tahin Dated 2007-12-28 Tile Size 16×16 Resolution 1280×400 Versions Comments Based on Marble Dice's tileset, above. Smoothed corners are "rounded", which takes some getting used to but look quite nice, in my opinion. I have managed to get all of the standard "L" tiles to fit together nicely, but "T" and "+" don't quite match up. It's not a problem that comes up often, and it still doesn't look that bad, but I'll get to it eventually.

Tyrving

Title [[#{{{filename}}}|{{{filename}}}]] Author Tyrving Dated 2008-2-15 Tile Size 16×16 Resolution 1280×400 Versions Comments None of the existing modifications of curses_square satisfied me, so I made my own. The bulk of it is from Klokjammer's set, with the dwarf symbols and @ taken from Sappho's. Quite a few minor alterations have been made, and I feel that it's become distinct enough to release it.

Winterwing

Lucida Console with Dystopian Rhetoric objects

Title [[#{{{filename}}}|{{{filename}}}]] Author Winterwing Dated 2007-10-30 Tile Size 16×16 Resolution 1280×400 Versions Comments Like usual, lucida console with cleartype. Creative, huh. :)

Yayo

Title [[#{{{filename}}}|{{{filename}}}]] Author Yayo Dated 2007-10-30 Tile Size 16×16 Resolution 1280×400 Versions Comments Name: Yayo's C64; The 16×16 version of Yayo's tileset.

Zaratustra

Title [[#{{{filename}}}|{{{filename}}}]] Author Zaratustra Dated 2007-11-10 Tile Size 16×16 Resolution 1280×400 Versions Comments Because everyone is making one.

16×16 tilesets for edited raws

These tilesets require modified raws to work properly. Specifically, the tile numbers assigned to some objects (critters, stones, plants) need to be changed and accented characters usually need to be removed from all languages.

Belal

Title [[#{{{filename}}}|{{{filename}}}]] Author Belal Dated 2009-1-9 Tile Size 16×16 Resolution 1280×400 native. Versions Comments Based on the Mike Mayday tileset and using angled smoothed walls as in Dorten's Tileset. I like the look of the walls for doing near circular or honeycomb layouts. Example Fort

Flying Mage

Title [[#{{{filename}}}|{{{filename}}}]] Author Flying Mage Dated 2008-4-12 Tile Size 16×16 Resolution 1280×400 Versions Comments A 16×16 tileset based on several other tilesets by various authors. I did some changes because I like some things in different ways, but the base for tileset was made by another users and for this I thankful. List of major and minor changes you can see below. And I hope you'll enjoy this. There is some tiles I really proud of :) Major changes Minor changes Some rough/smoothed/engraved stone improvement

Dwarfletter

Isenhertz

Isenhertz's tileset in action.

Title [[#{{{filename}}}|{{{filename}}}]] Author Isenhertz Dated 2008-7-14 Tile Size 16×16 Resolution 1280×400 Versions Comments Impressed with the genius of using sprites as tiles, I cobbled together this tileset of my own. It uses Super Foul Egg's superb font as a base, with several sprites also found in other users' sets. Because a lot of letters are used for graphics, I suggest that you remove accented letters from names with this set. I also suggest you shift some items to other icons, such as the coniferous trees (change Pine, Cedar, Larch from 024 to 147), the turtle (change 15 to 151), and Quarry Bush leaves (change from 006 to 003). V2 now with new graphics for walls and liquids, as well as some other tweaks here and there and a first attempt at using dual-color sprites using a cyan base instead of simple greyscale. (Right now implemented for beds, wood and statues.) V1 can still be found here.

Lemunde

Lemunde's Tileset.

Title [[#{{{filename}}}|{{{filename}}}]] Author Lemunde Dated 2009-9-19 Tile Size 16×16 Resolution 1280×400 Versions Comments This is a modified version of Mike Mayday's/Herrbdog's tileset. It has a more textured feel to the walls and makes heavy use of the new transparency features to make some of the tiles a little more dynamic. You can view a preview map here. I recommend changing the sky settings in the init.txt file to [SKY:176:15:3:0] for a more natural look.

Martin

Title [[#{{{filename}}}|{{{filename}}}]] Author Martin Dated 2009-8-8 Tile Size 16×16 Resolution 1280×400 Versions Comments This is a 16x16 tileset based on Redjack and Flying Mage sets (and possible tiles taken from others that I've since lost track of - apologies). Some tiles are original or have been tweaked, mainly to provide a much more subtle background than most. A completely new character set is used to improve legibility, tweaked and anti-aliased for dark backgrounds. Download Demo fortress at DFMA

SL

Title [[#{{{filename}}}|{{{filename}}}]] Author User:SL Dated 2008-8-3 Tile Size 16×16 Resolution 1280×400 Versions Comments (Requires a download, not just the image) Art based on Flying Mage's, Guybrush's, and previous tilesets in that lineage. Uses ModBase to relocate relocatable art and de-accentify certain accented letters to reduce graphical bizarreness while still improving some art. Forum Thread Download Demo Fortress Map on the DFMA

Spreggo

The Autonomous Font in action.

Title [[#{{{filename}}}|{{{filename}}}]] Author Spreggo Dated 2009-2-2 Tile Size 16×16 Resolution 1280×400 Versions Comments Started off inspired by Belal's diagonal support, and ended up doing almost every tile from scratch. Added different tiles for each type of stone, and new ones for ore, but the matgloss files need to be edited for that functionality(see image details).

The-Moon

Title [[#{{{filename}}}|{{{filename}}}]] Author The-Moon Dated 2008-3-24 Tile Size 16×16 Resolution 1280×400 Versions Comments Edited Character set of mikemayday and Jackard

Tigrex

Title [[#{{{filename}}}|{{{filename}}}]] Author Tigrex Dated 2009-2-22 Tile Size 16×16 Resolution 1280×400 Versions Comments This is my tileset, modified from Dorten's 2d diagonal wall set. It incorporates many original creations of mine, and I hope you like it.

Title [[#{{{filename}}}|{{{filename}}}]] Author Tigrex Dated 2009-4-10 Tile Size 16×16 Resolution 1280×400 Versions Comments This is a modification of the above, that takes advantage of Norse runes for a more authentic Dwarven experience. CAUTION! This tileset has little practical value, and may induce myopia, blindness, or death.

Tim's

Title [[#{{{filename}}}|{{{filename}}}]] Author Timmeh Dated 2009-8-12 Tile Size 16×16 Resolution 1280×400 Versions Comments A tileset using heavily modified versions of the diagonal walls from Belal's set, a modified version of the floor from Spreggo's set, most of the furniture and objects are from Flying Mage's set, and some various other bits and pieces from other sets. Replaces the black box that normally surrounds the walls with a copy of the floor tile. Example Fort

Non-square tilesets

These tilesets are not square. Text in non-square tilesets often looks much better and is often much easier to read than in square tilesets, but the map is distorted.

Title [[#{{{filename}}}|{{{filename}}}]] Author Chinkeeyong Dated 2009-6-11 Tile Size 10×12 Resolution 800×600 Versions Comments Partially inspired by Eagle of Fire's tiles, below. Essentially, this is the default tileset with a little bevel-style shading around the edges to make it look neater. Also, I fixed the accented 'e' tails to look closer to the standard 'e'.

Eagle of Fire

Title [[#{{{filename}}}|{{{filename}}}]] Author Eagle of Fire Dated 2007-10-30 Tile Size 10×12 Resolution 800×600 Versions 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. You can discuss the matter here.

Based on the default set, but more detailed and with a few custom characters. Good for those who want larger characters but enjoy the aesthetics of the default set.

Title [[#{{{filename}}}|{{{filename}}}]] Author Lord Nightmare/IBM Dated 2007-10-30 Tile Size 8×14 Resolution 640×350 Versions Comments The original IBM MDA character set, dumped from addresses 0x0000-0x0fff the 5788005 IBM Character Generator ROM. This font is as would be displayed on an EGA/VGA with the 9-pixel-width mode disabled. Best for a 64:35 aspect ratio. The required resolution is strange, so run fullscreen with BLACK_SPACE:YES and resolution at 640x480. The MDA card did not actually support displaying the font in 8x14, but ONLY 9x14 mode, see below. Theoretically, you CAN upload this font into EGA video memory though and use it.

Title [[#{{{filename}}}|{{{filename}}}]] Author Lord Nightmare/IBM Dated 2007-10-30 Tile Size 9×14 Resolution 720×350 Versions Comments The original IBM MDA character set, dumped from addresses 0x0000-0x0fff the 5788005 IBM Character Generator ROM. This font is as would be displayed on a real MDA card (use a black/dkgreen/ltgreen palette for full monochrome effect) or on an EGA/VGA card 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 720x480.

Title [[#{{{filename}}}|{{{filename}}}]] Author Lord Nightmare/IBM Dated 2007-10-30 Tile Size 8×14 Resolution 640×350 Versions 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 disabled. Best for a 64:35 aspect ratio. The required resolution is strange, so run fullscreen with BLACK_SPACE:YES and resolution at 640x480. This font is different from the MDA version in that many characters are slightly narrower to avoid 'running into' each other, and many characters have been shifted slightly to the left. Thanks to Zaratustra for poking me into getting this done, and for related help.

Title [[#{{{filename}}}|{{{filename}}}]] Author Lord Nightmare/IBM Dated 2007-10-30 Tile Size 9×14 Resolution 720×350 Versions 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 8×8 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).

Title [[#{{{filename}}}|{{{filename}}}]] Author Lord Nightmare/IBM? Dated 2007-10-30 Tile Size 8×16 Resolution 640×400 Versions 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.

Title [[#{{{filename}}}|{{{filename}}}]] Author Lord Nightmare/Microsoft Dated 2007-12-20 Tile Size 8×15 Resolution 640×375 Versions Comments v2.2 - (v1.0 is here) - Based on Microsoft's Fixedsys font (which dates back to Windows 1.0!), Many glyphs needed redoing by hand since they were absent from the font, since it is an 'ansi' character set and not a code-page 437 one like DF expects. v2.0 Based on Microsoft's Fixedsys font. 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.

Title [[#{{{filename}}}|{{{filename}}}]] Author Lord Nightmare/Microsoft Dated 2007-12-20 Tile Size 8×16 Resolution 640×400 Versions Comments v3.0 - changed font size to 8x16, altered glyphs to respect this. - v3.1 - 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

I requested it a long time ago when everyone else was requesting different sized square tilesets with diagonal walls, and nobody ever fulfilled the request. I decided, "Oh, it's not like I have some menial and huge English project that's due tomorrow to work on, I'm going to make that." And I did.--Taritus 20:53, 22 March 2009 (UTC)

Title [[#{{{filename}}}|{{{filename}}}]] Author Herrbdog Dated 2007-10-30 Tile Size 20×24 Resolution 1600×800 Versions Comments Hi res won't slow the game as it doesn't use graphics, so if your monitor can display it, go for it, really... I strongly recommend to enable blackspace in the init: [BLACK_SPACE:YES] Made from the 24pts cleartype lucida console above (from winterwing). I added some stuff (some original, some ideas taken from others tilesets). Basically I try to avoid symbols that are often seen in menus, etc. The main "problem" is the bag, because its the male symbol, but it was too good looking to not put it ;) Hope you enjoy :) . . .Note: Winterwing's tileset is now lost. --Savok

Title [[#{{{filename}}}|{{{filename}}}]] Author Kein Dated 2008-8-7 Tile Size 5×5 Resolution 400×125 Versions Comments A large 257x257 DFMA world gen map can be found here.Updated 08/06/08. Changed most text characters as well as some others to 4x4 with blackspace to avoid tiling. Most characters have been revised to be spaced out to be more distinguishable in such a small set. After seeing the dev update earlier today about increasing your view size I decided to create this small font. This has been built completely from scratch, mostly while at work today. I may be making a shaded version in the future. The first image to the right is from the Abeyverse succession game.

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'. Thanks to Markavian for ideas on how to improve the font, as well as an occasional character glyph.
