Dwarf Fortress looks too serious and gritty, especially when it's filled with so much fun, ☼Fun☼ and comedy.
There are four main handy-dandy aspects of this mod:
- Injecting some more personality and brightness into the visuals
- Making important stuff easier to see, smoothing over unimportant things (9x12 or 12x12 ASCII!)
- Delicious icon :D
The OS X .app version has been succeeded by Dwarf Builder (http://www.bay12forums.com/smf/index.php?topic=106974.0), which lets you make a .app custom tailored to your needs! Alternatively, it's easy to install Jolly Bastion on a regular OS X DF by just placing all the mod files in the given directories.

Also posting to watch, I will definitely give this a try. The stark contrast in vanilla DF is a huge strain on my eyes, and this brighter, smoother set will be a great help.

Anyone know of a way to separate floor-tiles from text-periods without using true-type? (TT isn't visually incompatible with non-0,0,0 black)

I would say the sand tiles are made to look metallic in-game though. Init wise your FPS's are somewhat low compared to what a lot of people play at, nothing major just saying for others you might want to make sure to adjust that to your preferred rate, and you should have blackspace on YES as it prevents your tileset from getting blurry/stretched randomly in spots even at the correct zoom size.

Done.
This reminds me a lot of Brogue, was that the intention? Because Brogue is a cool thing.
Never seen Brogue before, checking it out now, it looks really sweet! I guess the similarity is that we both just apply good colour theory. His one is much more dramatic than Jolly Bastion though. :P
Wow! Fantastic work! I really like how it looks at night, it actually has that 'nighttime' feel.
I'm not sure if I'm a fan of the bogeyman tiles though, they could be bigger.
Bogeymens' mouths are huuuuuge in the new update. :)
This is incredibly unique and it looks very nice, definitely gonna play around with it for a bit.

Blackspace has no effect on OSX after the intro, didn't know it did stuff on other OS's, thanks for the tip!
I've adjusted the wavey tiles in the new update, it should look a bit nicer.
This is gonna be my favorite tileset. I know it.
Edit: ... If it wouldn't stop crashing the computer I'm on.
Oh no! :( Is there an error it's printing out? Did you check the error log?
Praise from me as well, as this is new. I would like to request to add this as a optional tileset for my mod. Because now I can do Ascii, Ascii+ (vherid) and Jolly Bastion, all with one set of raws. This might even convince me to finally go through the work and do this.
Go right ahead. :)

Figured it out. When I installed the graphics pack DF automatically opened in fullscreen. I need to figure out a way for that to not happen.To disable auto-fullscreen, go to (dwarf fortress directory)/data/init, open init.txt, and set [WINDOWED:NO] to [WINDOWED:YES].
Very strange either way, I thought that bug only happened on 2D rendering mode...
Let me know if you have any trouble setting this to work! :)

Something like that is something that works really well, As you can see here my white sand floor looks like a tiled floor of polished metal:
(http://localhostr.com/file/bwGURri/metallicsquig.PNG)
The water doesn't look too bad, and it's not too bad in stone either but things like the soils like that I'm pretty sure the gradient you have around it makes it look metallic. Or something else, I don't know.
I really like the extra derp on the 12x12 faces, but the text is too stretched for it, I think you would have been better off just keeping it the same size and centering it or having slightly less of a stretch.
But also, using transparencies and gradients for your ramps and such, so fucking beautiful.

Your above ground icons for the tops of trees and such as well are very nice.
Post by: Taffer on March 12, 2012, 01:10:40 pm
After playing with it for a while, it is beautiful, but it takes some getting used to. Adventure mode confused me at first, especially with the slopes. Wish there was a way around the period/floor tile oddity. I also agree about the dwarves. The derp on the 12x12 dwarves is just a little too big, personally. As for your mod idea, I don't care for mods personally, as I try to stick with vanilla DF as much as possible. It sounds fun though. I think I'll stick with this tileset & colour scheme for a while yet. Great work!

So I'm still having some crash issues. Is there anything about this tileset that would strain an older computer or could there be something in the inits that gets screwed up during its installation.
There isn't, at least on the Windows/Linux copy. The only thing I can think of is the raw file change. I never change the raws without generating a new world. You might try that. Barring that, you copied it wrong, or the copy you downloaded was incomplete or corrupted. Try downloading a fresh copy of DF, a fresh copy of Jolly Bastion, copy the files over, and try again.
If you use a Mac, Armok help you, because I can't. You can try downloading the familar Mac version of DF from the website and copying over the Windows/Linux version of Jolly Bastion, as the files will work fine on a Mac. You'll lose the fancy icon, and the .app support. The tileset and colours will work.

I'm not sure why, but since installing this the game will often become "unfocused" when I use the shift key to move the cursor faster. It's rather irritating having to pick up my mouse to refocus Dwarf Fortress.

Unfortunately that didn't fix it, on Windows. Is anyone else having this problem? It's most noticeable when designating buildings and using shift + arrow keys to zoom around.
I'm beginning to think it's just my computer, and in that case it's only a minor inconvenience. Not a big enough one to make me switch tile sets at least! ;)

@Rushmik: If the shift key is changing the zoom, maybe there's something wrong with your keybindings? I not sure how this would have happened though.

I really like this Alexander, it's very original.
@Rushmik: If the shift key is changing the zoom, maybe there's something wrong with your keybindings? I not sure how this would have happened though.
It's not changing the zoom, it's un-focusing on DwarfFortress.exe, meaning I have to click on the window to be able to do anything again. It doesn't seem to be focusing on any other application either. ???
I just built my first door and love how 3D yet simple they are.

Any plans for barrel, mechanism and hatch tiles? I'm surprised you don't have them. The latter two as tiles, in my experience, mess up the occasional name somewhere, but this is rare, and screw pumps aside there's little consequence to having a barrel tile over the ascii in my experience. That specific tile will need to be inverted, as a heads up.
Yes, they've actually been in the tileset before I released it, but I'm still not happy with their silhouettes and contrast. Unfortunately like the !! tile, with a non 0,0,0 background, the barrel is not a simple case of inverting. :(
That said, here's the current versions of the colours + 9x12 tileset for everyone. I'm moving house today, so I won't have internet for about a month. So at least people can install these fixes if the release version is too annoying.

All three of those don't show up in text I'm pretty sure.
Just so you guys know as well, I have also made a warm coloring for this tileset, based from my ascii warm colorscheme.

Jolly Bastion Warm Colorset
...The colors I found pretty interesting as well, I did play around with my own schemes though and my colors are far too dark for his tileset, so I wanted to have my warm scheme transfer over and work for his tileset. I've received his permission to post this here as he was also a fan of my tiles and colors up till he made JB, so I give you: Warm Jolly Bastion. Colors were brightened up to match the tileset, and some were slightly altered.

I quite like it this way. A hallway uncleared of stone looks "dirty with rubble" instead of "brimming with boulders", so it takes a while longer for the OCD tendencies to set in.

I really like this set, it's just the mud / blood on the floors and walls that is preventing me from using it 24/7:

The new one looks great! Would love a 12x12 version when you get the time. Cheers for the excellent work.Yep, when the release rolls around it will have a 12x12 version, it's just faster to do versions for testing changes on only the 9x12. :)

Oh right. You can just overwrite the all the files, it should still work, so:
- Right click Dwarf Fortress => Show Package Contents
- Go into Contents => Resources
- Chuck the latest version of DF into there
- Install Jolly Bastion from the stand-alone version (but copy the files one directory at a time. Remember that pasting wipes existing contents of directories on OSX!)
An updated app will come before next Monday, if this doesn't work.

I don't know if anyone else is experiencing similar issues, but this worked for me.

it looks like a monorail.
That sounds awesome. Monorail shenanigans.

Let me know if you find anything, Mishy. I'd put time into colour correcting/matching, if I had a graphics set I liked with JB.

The new update is out! I tried it with these tiles. The minecart tracks use the same texture as smooth walls, which makes it a little bit confusing, and it looks like a monorail.Yeah, I'm working on a solution, with any luck I'll have at least hacky "texture-rails" going tomorrow, and will worry about the full directional things afterwards. I have at most 20 spare tiles, with 31 tiles necessary for perfect rail graphics, so it'll definitely be an interesting challenge (I'll probably try to overlap with rivers, like other people are trying)
I love it. How would i go about putting a creature tile set on it?If you have a set in mind that is 9x12 or 12x12, it's as simple as pasting in the /raw/ directory from that set (both in the root, and your save game, mind you!).
Alternatively, to make your own set, check out the magmawiki, it has a great guide on how to create graphics sets.
I would like to have a more squared grid. Rectangles look funky when trying to build symmetrically :PA 12x12 square version is included, there just aren't any screenshots of it on the front page. :P

I made a bit of a first poke at making a 9x12 set, but found myself completely inept at making anything that small that looked like anything. If anyone else wants to take a stab, though, I'd most definitely be willing to help out with the time-consuming task of colour-matching to JB.

I couldn't find a two-rail solution for the tracks that I really liked, but at least I'll be putting your fortress on the map, just like Ogdenville, North Haverbrook and Brockway:

No .app version anymore, I figure everyone on OSX is using Dwarf Builder (http://www.bay12forums.com/smf/index.php?topic=106974.0) by now.
As usual, 9x12 is recommended, 12x12 is included. Let me know if anything's wonky!

I haven't had good experience using df2ttf tool, but I have made some workarounds, the author claims the problem is with putty's resizing of the fonts.

Alex, I just watched your show reel. Very impressive work. And then I realized you made "Loved!" I loved Loved! Keep up the great work; you've got some real talent.
Just wanted to post my appreciation for this pack. I don't know why more tilesets don't properly make the distinction between background tiles and 'important' tiles. It makes everything much easier to see, which in a game as complex as this, is no small boon!
Thank you for it! :)
I'd like to add that because of this pack, a friend of mine has begun playing the game a lot more. It's really clear and colorful, which helps determine what everything is without needing to K everything.
Thanks everyone, I really do appreciate it. :D
Hearing about people understanding DF and getting into it more really makes this all worthwhile!

Wait, pinky pie? Now I'm curious. Probably not what it sounds like, but ASCII pinkamena would be great.

There are a couple of weird things I put on the unused tiles in 9x12 v4...

i love the pack, it makes vanilla great looking, my only complaint is that mined stone looks like specks on the ground, i have to use K alot to see if i can build certain places without suspension. anyways, i love the pack, but mined stone could be better.
Yeah I would say I agree with this, any time I'm using your set I always edit in some like 7x7 pebble or such instead of the dust that is really hard to see.

Due to the higher screen density of this monitor, this tileset looks extremely small while playing fullscreen. So, if possible, could you make a scaled up version of it?
The way the game upscales it bugs me. ::)

It's a very boring font, which is good for people who don't want much of their playing experience to consist of admiring the font.
I gave it the same outline effect as the previous font. I tried to make the silhouettes (when the light parts are darkened to the same shade as the dark outline) still legible, so that for instance the depth numbers for underground, and the letters in the "Dwarf Fortress" title, are legible. I thought about which characters have dual use and tried to make them look like both things, so that for instance accented 'o's look a bit like levers without looking completely unlike letters, but the prepared meal / spray from pump is no longer a percent sign, since there are no percentages in the game, and the cave lobster isn't a yen sign, and so on. Drawing a picture of an ambiguous wheelbarrow or necklace in 12x12 pixels was too hard for me. I didn't bother with the bottom line of text, either, because none of those characters are used as text and I'd got bored by that point.
I also changed a bunch of other stuff, probably for the worse, like nestboxes and beds and metal and trees. I restored the dot which means "floor tile", since it's also used as a dot in various bits of text (not least ".: single step".)

It's 12x12 only, it looks like this:
(http://i.imgur.com/bAoSx.jpg)
and here you can get it:
http://dffd.wimbli.com/file.php?id=6535
It's far from perfect because I had to rearrange some of the letters inside their 12x12 square in order to prevent them overshooting, which looks weird sometimes, as letters are not on the same line every time.
I hope this is no problem for the original authors of the font and jolly bastion:

Cathartic.

For some reason engraved and smoothed walls look exactly the same in my game. Is that intentional or am I doing something wrong? I like to be able to tell the difference.

I just noticed: my room is haunted by ghosts. I have Apple stickers all over the place.
Not sure that's context-appropriate unless this tileset includes Apple stickers :P
I actually have to seriously thank you for this minor necro, though. This mod is the PERFECT bridge between ASCII and graphics. I'll be using it from now on.

The problem here is that Jolly Bastion is an ASCII tileset, I think the Lazy Newb Pack might not be able to install those properly.
EDIT: A "graphics" folder was missing in the "raw" directory and I had to copy over the "cursor.png" and "cursor.bmp" files from the default ASCII tileset -- it now works perfectly from what I can tell. Here is a *.zip file with both configurations (9x12 and 12x12) which you should be able to use: Jolly Bastion 34.10v5 (Lazy Newb Pack).zip (http://www.mediafire.com/?38e48vvo62b0512).

I love the colour schemes and the clean look you brought to DF. It's also why i've used your color scheme in my own pack and also referenced your walls and doors.
You can find my pack here ----> http://www.bay12forums.com/smf/index.php?topic=129219.0
Once i finish it, i'll be giving you full credit for your work.
Thanks again.

I'm trying to use the lazy newb pack to install it, and just copy/pasting the data & raw folders into LNP/Graphics/Jolly Bastion/ doesn't seem to work -- I'm getting errors when I tell LNP to install the pack.
I'm clearly doing something wrong, but I don't know what, and I'm not really sure where else to ask for help (sorry if this is the wrong place, though).
Edit: I just downloaded the expanded LNP, since that includes this pack, and it seems to work fine.

If you grab the updated lazy newb pack (http://www.bay12forums.com/smf/index.php?topic=126076), this comes pre-set as one of the options, and you just have to choose it in the graphics menu.
Just grabbed the newest LNP with Jolly Bastion but all the walls are letters, pretty sure this is not intended.

Thats not an issue of this pack, but of the LNP. you should report it there, its a simple matter of inorganics having the wrong tile number. You probably updated the data/art files without updating the save/region/raw/object files, which is why they are not in sync. If you just pushed buttons on the LNP, then it needs to be updated to fix that.If you grab the updated lazy newb pack (http://www.bay12forums.com/smf/index.php?topic=126076), this comes pre-set as one of the options, and you just have to choose it in the graphics menu.
