If they all have to be resaved as bmp, why the heck are they uploaded as png? These are small files, you're not saving significant disk or bandwidth by keeping them in png. This is particularly irritating since I can't seem to get any of these to work even after resaving/converting them -.- --[[User:Nunix|Nunix]] 14:14, 20 February 2008 (EST) | If they all have to be resaved as bmp, why the heck are they uploaded as png?

| + | :If you're not just renaming the files, then your problem isn't with the files being .png format. Making an exception to [[DwarfFortressWiki:Community_Portal|Rule I]] would only cause confusion as there are many images that are quite large indeed. --[[User:N9103|Edward]] 15:32, 20 February 2008 (EST) | ||

AAHHH dangt! somebody's got to go download all those images and upload them again. Next time I get to my High-bandwith connection I'll try to do some of that.
Done. I think i got em all. Lord Nightmare 19:18, 9 December 2007 (EST)
Tiny tilesests
Sets smaller than 8x8. Used for playing in tiny windows, display of massive maps and perhaps videos.
I thought it wasnt possible to change the size of the map (number of tiles rendered on screen), am I wrong or does the author mean display of maps outside the game? --Mizipzor 21:09, 4 November 2007 (EST)
- I imagine the only current use is in exporting bitmaps from the game. —0x517A5D 15:30, 14 November 2007 (EST)
- I've used one of 'em to hide a DF window on my work computer, and they're fun to use at 4x size,too. But yeah, they make real nice maps. --Maus 09:10, 18 December 2007 (EST)
Can anyone say PocketPC Dwarf Fortress? I imagine with a low popcap and a 3x3 or less area, it wouldn't be too bad on most PDAs out there. Now, if only someone would port the code... --Edward 20:40, 8 January 2008 (EST)
Page Split
There are too many character sets on this one page, I propose splitting the page into twopages:
- one for 'classic' code page 437 fonts/glyph sets/character sets with no graphical characters whatsoever
- one for 'semigraphical' character sets which have one or more of the normal glyphs replaced with a df-specific graphic (a barrel instead of the division sign, for instance) - Lord Nightmare 19:18, 9 December 2007 (EST)
- I disagree; there's no reason to split content into two different areas when it's already easily comparable and all in one place. --Maus 09:12, 18 December 2007 (EST)
