Antialiasing can be removed with Inkscape's pixellize filter, but then I'd just have the default tileset. :P
Any glyphs in particular that look bad? I can minimize antialiasing by aligning things on pixel boundaries whenever possible.
After 2 years of artistic progress I've begun to loathe how the graphics set looks. It's too cutesy and clashes with the serious tone of Dwarf Fortress.Nice! That's some impressive silhouetting with the animals, very recognizable.
So instead, I've directed my attention to this newer graphics set.
Can you show us an example of them vectorized? That might make the dwarves look more dwarfy. Or indicate that they do indeed need beards. Cause, dwarves.
Bitland!
Why would you post something like that?!
Will there be a square version? With TWBT nowadays there is no reason not to have square graphics.
While not as detailed as GemSet, I think this graphics set will accomplish what my ideal graphics set would do: clearly convey what things are but leave details up to the imagination of the player. No more chunky, goofy-looking dwarves sliding around the screen with a blank look on their face. Just a silhouette to convey the idea of a dwarf like ASCII does.
I don't really understand how the sizing works with tilesets to be honest though.
What size would one need for a 1920x1080 monitor for it to show correctly?
I like to play 1x1 embarks, though, so I like to pick out tile sizes based on vertical resolution. To see an entire 1x1 embark at once, you need 50 vertical tiles (48 for the embark and 2 for the UI border).
1080 / 50 = 21.6
If I want to be able to see my entire embark on a 1920x1080 monitor, I need a tileset that's 21 pixels tall or smaller. I like to go for tilesets 20-pixels tall to leave room for the task bar and the game window's border for playing in windowed-mode.
DragonDePlatino, are you okay with curses_vector being bundled in Lazy Newb Packs? It'd be nice to have some high-rez stuff.
so there is not going to be a 12x8 version of this graphic set?
Hey folks, I'd like some feedback and help with workshops. I want to completely overhaul all of the vanilla workshops for Bitlands.Those look great! I like the color-coding.Butcher's shop, metalsmith's forge, fishery, ASCII as examples.Spoiler: mockup workshops (click to show/hide)
All of the workshops will have border tiles to help separate adjacent workshops.From what I can tell, this is impossible for a normal graphics pack.
1. Can you change the tiles of vanilla workshops? Ideally, I'd like to change them to use 9 unique characters (pictured right) so the TWBT overrides can make each a unique tile.It might be possible with the Soap Workshop using building_custom.txt, but I don't think you can do this with most workshops, except maybe with DFHacking.
2. Where can I find a comprehensive list of all the workshops?The closest thing I can think of is to build them all in-game and use DFHack and Clément's /hack/script/ (http://www.bay12forums.com/smf/index.php?topic=138754.msg7639873#msg7639873) .lua file to lookup clues for the TWBT override codes.
I always go by raws instead of the wiki so I have the official ordering.What does the ordering do?
There's no real reason for the ordering. It's just to keep things organized and consistent with mod support (because workshops will be done in the order defined in the raws and some mods lack wiki documentation). But if there's no real ordering outside of DFHack trickery, I guess I'll just stick with the order specified on the TWBT page.
Any plans for an 800_600 version?I'm afraid not. For both curses_vector and Bitlands I'll be sticking with a 2:3 tile ratio as I've found that works best when resized up to 1080p and 4K monitors.
Would it be possible to apply the latest current graphic-pack science and have a subtle graphical deviation in this style based on the material of individual objects?That would be a good feature but unfortunately it wouldn't work well in a minimalistic tileset like this. I've experimented with doing basic things like profession tiles and the resolution is just too small to make a difference!
Wow, all civs with detailed professions, awesome.
I have another question though. Will you update the tileset with the new df updates? I really don't want bitlands to be forgotten like gemset.
Are you aware of the additions that Japa made to TWBT? Namely the option of adding a variety of sprites for a single object; adding sprites for different materials; and adding a sequence of changing sprites for a single object (aka animations).
Bitlands looks actually 100% incredible. Good work!
becomes the closest Dwarf Fortress has to an "official" look.Difficult, considering that people either go for graphical packs like Phoebus/Spacefox , or stick to ASCII.
I for one love all the extra work you put in, the scripts, compability, vectors graphics... Its great. :-)
How is it going? I'm so excited about bitlands.
I don't know what I am awaiting more: df party system update, or bitlands release. Probably both.
Gotta check the thread every day.

This is so awesome. I use a 3440x1440 34 inch monitor with Tergel, Gemset creatures, and curses vector text and have been looking forward to replacing Gemset with Bitlands since I first heard about it. I'm a bit fuzzy on this patcher though, will I be able to take just the creatures as easily or in a similar manner to Gemset?
I'd be happy to test a few things here and there. :)

i have waited almost 2 years, release when
Wow, looks awesome.
A little suggestion though: humans & dwarves imo look better with black pixels as eyes, otherwise they're kind of hard to notice among other tiles. I liked the previous style dwarves more, but you can draw it as you want though.
Otherwise this all looks great (been looking forward to a sneakpeak like this), my only irks are that void-tiles look a little to solid, and that downslopes don't look like upside-down upslopes, but the latter is probably just a matter of what you are used to.
How do FBs and other random beasts look by the way, do they take the shape of a differently colored standard creature, or are they controlled by some different ingenius mechanism?
How should the 2x version of Bitlands look?
Vector graphics are how all tilesets and graphics sets should be done from now on.
Especially since these can easily be translated to square tiles.
Keep up the good work!
Hey DDP, how is the tileset?
