This article is about an older version of DF.
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.

This is a combination of the Dystopian Rhetoric and the Deep Quantas sets. The sprites are 16×16, using DQ for dwarves and elves, while DR for the rest. The dwarves hold a different tool for each job skill. It also includes nearly every new creature for version 0.32/0.33 except some fish and sharks.

Resolution: 1280×400
Current Version:
DF Compatibility: Unspecified
Installation: Download all of the separate animal packs from my page, turn them into 24bmp then save them inside raw/example. Copy the text beneath the files and paste it into graphic_examples (the instructions I give on my page should be clear enough).
Hopefully you will enjoy them as much as I enjoyed creating them and if you receive any problems associated with the files please let me know so that I can fix them.

Seaneat Custom Set

Download: Seaneat-Dwarves.PNG, Seaneat-Civilization.PNG
Author: Seaneat
Tile Size: 16×16
Resolution: 1280×400
Current Version:
DF Compatibility: Unspecified
Installation: Convert images into .BMP, place files into raw/graphics folder, and edit the graphic_examples in the same folder and init text file in data/init folder. Learn more about how to install them somewhere, I hate explaining. Doesn't work with the same text file in Mike's set. I included the text file for installing the dwarf graphic set in its image page. I'm not sure it works honestly.
Dwarfs with symbols to identify their job made from sets found in Mike Mayday's files above. Characters with stars mean that they have more than 1 skill in a profession and professions with no icon are meant for the status screen.

Feel free to ask me what icons are confusing and please tell me what I'm missing and what other icons I could use to better symbolize a profession.

The other file is my own set of other other races which is a bit boring right now.

The rest of what I make is in my user page.

See here for graphics and txt files. There are sets for many different civs both included in DF and not, meant primarily for use in mods. This does not add any of the civs to the game, it merely adds the graphics in case someone has added or plans to add them and wants graphics to go with.

DF Compatibility: Unspecified
Installation: Unzip archive to your /RAW folder. Remove human graphics from graphics_example.txt or use this tileset for new type of creature.
This is a tileset based on the Chariot's humans. I edited all pictures to represent desert people somewhat close to arabian type from Alladdin cartoon (nobles, traders and guards) and oriental warriors (ninja-like, with face veils to help them against sandstorms).
