Be sure to set the TRUETYPE option to YES (see below). If you prefer the graphics for these tiles over somewhat less legible text, you can set this to your graphics file. This prevents your tileset graphics from overwriting characters such as 0 or. You can and should set this to a text font file (i.e. This sets the replacement images for the 256 font characters. Here's what each of the four font value options mean: 'Somewhat' fixing the issue: The reason it can somewhat separate things is because it tends to use the ASCII set for text and the Extended set for "graphics". It's written for the use of the standard windows-1252 encoding (also known as latin-1 or IBM CP 437.). However, DF is smart enough to be able to use a tile set for only its graphics, not its text, 'mostly'. That is because it reuses the same symbols for both text, displaying tiles, and data.
REDDIT DWARF FORTRESS TILESET INSTALL
How do I manually install a tileset in just vanilla, out-of-the-box Dwarf Fortress?ĭwarf fortress has four different values for font and tileset files. Or I could be totally wrong about all of that. But I can find no reference that documents what modifications need to be made, what the various modifications do (so that I can decide if I need to make that particular change), etc. And to add further complication, it seems like perhaps not all of them need to be modified, depending on various factors (like current resolution). The best I can tell, it seems like there are actually multiple (in fact, many) different files/settings that need to be modified to use a given tileset. And every other reference, tutorial, book, or video that I've found all points to using LNP which I'm not asking about. The DF documentation is pretty sparse and I haven't been able to successfully install any tileset by following it. I cannot find a single reference anywhere that walks through the process of manually installing a new tileset. As long as your polite, it doesn't matter.I'm gonna attempt to save us all some frustration and emphasize the fact that I'm not asking about LNP or ANY other similar pre-packaged tool. I see no reason why you can't request features. Since the game is actually being sold now, as in you are paying money for this. I would consider myself to be somewhat part of the "hardcore" community.

At this point, it's quite fair to say that you're missing out on a lot of DF's features if you're not using mods and I see that carrying over to this release as well. Originally posted by unnecesaurus:I don't remember ever using the mouse to play this, though.īut I think it's fair to count on mods, as we've been doing for so long now. We could request some changes to be made but 1) the hardcore community will counterargue that we need to git gud and 2) I think the devs' priority is polishing and adding features instead of redesigning how the game plays.īut I think it's fair to count on mods, as we've been doing for so long now. Originally posted by diji:I'm hoping enough sales will encourage the development of a UI overhaul with Therapist-like functionality built in From what I read, it seems this isn't a case of "let's release it on Steam to help further support development so that we can add more things." It's more a question of the devs' health not being the best and current political scenario affecting their healthcare, so they're hoping sales here will boost their income a little so that they might not die if there's ever a serious episode (or even to prevent such a situation from happening). But it sure would be nice if at least the controls were more streamlined in order to encourage people to get into it. It's healthy for the market to have games such as this available for those who crave the challenge and the reward that comes with it. I understand and accept that DF is a hard game. I remember trying out a tutorial years ago and I easily spent more than 30h just doing the most basic stuff depicted there.

There's even a DF manual of sorts which is hundreds if not thousands of pages long. First you have to master the controls, which is hard in and of itself, and then you have to understand how the game plays, which requires hundreds of hours until you can do something on your own. You had to do at least a little digging or ask a few questions to get a clear picture on that.Īs for how the game plays-yeah. The ASCII aesthetic was the first thing to drive people away cuz the information regarding tile sets wasn't as readily available as it should be. I don't remember ever using the mouse to play this, though.
