Editing v0.34:Tilesets

:''(For user-created tilesets, see [[Tileset repository]].)''  

:''(For user-created creature graphics sets, see [[Graphics set repository]].)''

A character set is an image in BMP or PNG format that contains the 256 different tiles, corresponding to the [[Main:Character table|IBM Code Page 437]] (sometimes called Extended ASCII), which are used to display the main graphics. [[Tileset repository|Here is the list]] of user-made standard tilesets. To install any of these tilesets, follow these steps:

# Download the tileset via right-click-save-as on the tileset.  The tileset is just an image, so there's no separate download link. (The list is [[Tileset repository|here]])

Character sets only change certain graphics, while others are left out. The confusingly-named [[graphics set]]s 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 [[DF2012:Tilesets|tilesets]]. They can significantly change the appearance of the game and make it easier for players to tell what is happening onscreen. While Tilesets work the same as previous versions, Graphics Sets will have to be redone as the raws have changed.

When creating a custom tileset, it's often easiest to start with an existing one, and edit it to your liking. Tilesets generally fall into three categories: rectangular tilesets, square tilesets, and 16x16 square tilesets. Rectangular tilesets have tiles that are taller than they are wide. The text in these tilesets is generally easier to read, but the map appears squished horizontally. Square tilesets usually provide more attractive graphics, but are slightly less readable. The 16x16 square tilesets are just a sub-set, which are grouped together because most [[graphics set|object tilesets]] use 16x16 tiles. The graphics in Dwarf Fortress can be somewhat diversified and enhanced through the use of graphics sets.

* Items marked with * can have their tile changed in the [[modding|raw data]] files.

* Items marked with # can have their tile replaced by a [[graphics set]] image, in addition to having their tile changed in the raw data.

* Items marked with $ can be changed in the [[d_init.txt]] file.
