You may be looking for general information on tilesets or the tileset repository.


Graphics sets are used to change the appearance of creatures in the game, such as dwarves and unicorns. They usually come with and are designed to work together with certain tilesets. They can significantly change the appearance of the game and make it easier for players to tell what is happening onscreen.

Combined with a customized main tileset. Just follow the link, download and enjoy, no need to mess around with files. Credits go to Beefmo, Sphr, DR, Tocky, Herrbdog, Bane18, Dragon Warrior games and me (although I did much more organizing and editing than actually creating).

For linux and mac, there's an install script out there which applies a diff to the current DF installation, see http://github.com/rofl0r/df-mayday. it worked with 0.31.25 on linux. The way it works is a diff file with a little context, so it can in theory be applied to any new DF version, as long as the raws aren't changed too heavily. the diff file used didn't need a single change in v.14-.25. Aadditionally, it automatically fixes accented characters used in names, to look better with the tileset.

A tileset based on Phoebus' Graphics Set with the tiles replaced. It focuses on consistency and stylized realism to harmonize the different tiles and give a more "medieval" atmosphere to the game. Unlike other tilesets, this also specifically sets aside different tiles for grass with modifications to their graphics raws. This makes it easier to distinguish pasturable areas from bare rock and sand, tell apart different biomes, as well as letting you plan green (or blue, if you're going with cave moss) gardens along your entrance halls. Just make sure to forbid traffic on it to avoid trampling them to bare ground.
