Use any of these grandiose colors with any of your favorite tilesets such as Taffer (http://www.bay12forums.com/smf/index.php?topic=107924.0), Crazy8x8s (http://www.bay12forums.com/smf/index.php?topic=126363.0), Grim Fortress (http://www.bay12forums.com/smf/index.php?topic=128157.0), or even the defaults. The color schemes have all been tested on my calibrated monitor, so if things are off contrast wise or I'm just retarded with my monitor, feel free to change them to your needs, they should be fine though. Use anything here for anything you want, just credit me.

I have currently ceased support and effort on my tiles, They're not likely to work with 40.## as I cut the unused symbols out of most of the sets, and I don't really like them that much anymore. There's far better alternatives out there. If you really want to use them, they are still below.

I really like it, especially the colour scheme. I would replace the light purple with a pink.

Thanks, again I wouldn't say it's fully mine, but I guess I did have a part in this final result.

OP updated/cleaned/etc.

Beautiful.

I love ASCII, but I really don't like it when the colors are so bright and eye-raping.

ASCII+ is an understatement. This is ASCII Art.

Great work.

You were absolutely right when you said that the larger tilesets looks strange. That's why I don't use them. You either look at neat pictures of dwarves that don't seem to fit into their environment, or you look at symbols that flow together perfectly.

I prefer the flow to the higher resolution.

Have you ever tried to play DF with a small ASCII tileset at a high resolution? Although it is not good for performance, it looks really good!

There are HD Ascii Tilesets? Can you direct me to one? I ought to try that out. My CPU could probably handle it.

Well doing some light edits for the tileset, I've noticed that I can't really center the uncentered pieces with the 10x10 dimensions, and I was think of making a 12x12 one similar to this, there is a really good 12x12 tileset I have that is quite nice, but it also has issues that need fixing and whatnot. 12x12 is a nice resolution because its still small, but it's just big enough where you don't have to look closely most of the time to get it.
Title: Re: Vherid.set 3
Post by: Vherid on August 03, 2011, 05:58:03 pm
Updated with a 12x12 version, has a few more replacements I might or might not move over to the 10x10. I'm not sure if I like it though, I might still like the 10x10 more, tell me what you think.
Title: Re: Vherid.set 3
Post by: krenshala on August 03, 2011, 07:24:29 pm
You might want to see if an 11x11 tileset works for what you want.  That would allow you to center things.  I might, however, create some other issues so I don't know if it would be a good solution or not.  Thought I would mention it, just in case it did help. ;)
Title: Re: Vherid.set 3
Post by: Nighthawk on August 03, 2011, 07:51:29 pm
It's a color choice, really. If you prefer a little more detail, you take the 12x12. If you prefer to see as much as possible when playing, you take the 10x10.

Either way, they're both brilliant. (I prefer 10x10, personally. Just sayin'!)

Title: Re: Vherid.set 3
Post by: Vherid on August 09, 2011, 11:46:50 pm
Updated with a much better 10x10 tileset, v2. Implements some of the graphic chances done in the 12x12.

Also I don't see how it's too brown when there's only two browns lol, but I see where you're coming from. Change the background to black if you want, or a gray of the same value as the dark brown might look good.

Post by: negorath on September 29, 2011, 08:41:08 am
Since I've been using this for a while now, I might as well give it some due credit.

Great tileset! Tried a few simple ones after I started preferring ASCII, and it's been great so far; detailed, yet simple.

I switched back to regular Natural Color though since I like having my backgrounds a darker color.

You could just change only the background color, I could quickly cook up a darker bg scheme at some point today.

Post by: Vherid on October 13, 2011, 03:14:29 pm
Alright I'm gonna rework the 10x10 tileset again to go for a inbetween version 1 and 2, because contrary to what the wiki said, some of the crazy accented letters I changed into faces are indeed used as text, and it's an annoyance. I'm gonna fix those and see if there's anything else to fix/change for it.

I'll also provide some additional color schemes, for people who want different backgrounds and such.
Title: Re: Vherid.set 3
Post by: Vherid on October 15, 2011, 12:45:14 pm
Updated with 2.5 for the 10x10, tileset fixes any text errors. I'm also going to stop supporting, dealing with 12x12, it was a silly venture, and I much prefer the 10x10.

Some extra color schemes soon.
Title: Re: Vherid.set 3
Post by: negorath on November 29, 2011, 04:56:56 pm
Don't know if you're planning on updating this or not, but bump for a good ascii tileset, more people should give this a try.
Title: Re: Vherid.set 3
Post by: Vherid on November 30, 2011, 05:44:32 pm
Thanks but yeah kinda, it's at a point where I'm happy with it for now and don't really know where to take it next so updates I don't know.
Title: Re: Vherid.set 3
Post by: Vherid on December 03, 2011, 04:54:20 pm
Updated with a VERY slightly changed v3 of the tileset, however I updated the screenshots to the current tileset now, AND I added a true gray color scheme for you kids who didn't like the brown.
Title: Re: Vherid.set 3
Post by: Derydlus on January 13, 2012, 10:01:38 am
Great job on this tileset. Keep it updated, if that situation arises. I'd been using Tocky's tileset and colours initially - I'm incredibly picky about these things, and didn't like all of it at first, so I edited in my favourite bits from Tocky into your tileset. As time went on, I found myself editing it closer to this tileset, until now I'm just using your tileset/colors. Excellent work.

Might do a 8x8 tileset version sometimes I like using even smaller crisper sets.
Title: Re: Vherid.set 3
Post by: Vherid on January 19, 2012, 05:36:22 pm
Yeah I made a 8x8 version it's in the OP.

EDIT: Actually it's currently fucked up as a .png
Spoiler (click to show/hide)
The .bmp works, how to fix? The colors on the tileset are right, the magenta is magenta.

EDIT2: Just removed the pink BG from the png version and it works now, which is fine for me but I'm still curious as to why it works on other pngs but not now.
Title: Re: Vherid.set 3
Post by: Derydlus on January 20, 2012, 12:28:22 am
Initially, I didn't like it, but I took another look at it. The weight symbol/tropical tree is too square for my taste, threw off the look a lot for me. I'll stick with the 10x10, but good work on the 8x8! I thought the dwarf smiley was too simple, but at 8x8 I'm not entirely sure it could be done better. Thanks!

Yeah I'm not super set on how the trees are looking for now, definitely gonna edit them, I could maybe edit the plain dwarf smile but there's something just so adorable about seeing just that face mauling elephants with it's bare hands.

EDIT2: Just removed the pink BG from the png version and it works now, which is fine for me but I'm still curious as to why it works on other pngs but not now.

I'm going to guess that previous versions where paletted PNGs, and the ping/magenta was set as the transparency value.  If you somehow shifted to a non-paletted color (>256 color) you have an alpha channel instead of a fixed color to "ignore" for the transparency.  The pink then bleeds through as its no longer the alpha setting, but just another color.

For centering (if you are still working on that) you could try an odd numbered tile size (e.g., 11x11 or 9x9).

I haven't used it, but I really like your work on this, by the way.  Very well done. :)

I have no idea how that whole alpha transparency thing works with tilesets. Can it only be magenta or transparent and even then the magenta was broke on that specific one. I want to have like red tilesets just to differentiate them folder wise, but obviously not have the red show up ingame.

16x16 is done and ready to used with whatever graphic pack you want such as Beefmo's. Or just play in 16x16 without graphics.

Hey! I'm a new DF player here. Wanna let you know that I am really enjoying using your 10x10 tileset and color scheme. I have tried many different graphics packs, but each one had some little problem that really got under my skin.
Your ASCII+ and natural color scheme are perfectly balanced.

Wow, this is amazing.

I was just thinking the other day that the only think I didn't really like about the vanilla tileset was the fact that it wasn't a square grid. These colors and the tweaked ASCII make for a very attractive tileset.

Bravo.

-Rehaul complete.
-Colorschemes revamped, Natural has been turned into warm, with warmer colors where needed.
-Vanilla+ replaces vanilla color scheme, stays closer to actual vanilla colors.
-Wasteland color scheme added.
-Screenshots added of each tileset and color scheme.
-Banner added.
 
Thanks for the continuous support and appreciation.

I don't understand why did you delete the 'natural' colours option, at least I don't see it anywhere - why don't give the people an option to choose?. I've tried the new 'warm' colours, and it's interesting, but I like your - now deleted - 'natural' more, it was ...natural, not so toxic.

Because warm pretty much is the natural scheme with some slight changes to some of the colors. I'll put it back up in a few though I guess.

The changes are big, it's new colour scheme. Please archive somewhere in your first thread your old colour schemes, so we can have an option to go back. And thanks for your work! It's the first and only ASCII tileset (10x10) that I'm using, it's great!

I can't tell which option I've selected in this picture. At least, not without squinting harder at my screen than I'd like. I believe the colours in question are the two whites on the bottom right of this image.

Vherid, do you use Kuler (http://kuler.adobe.com) for choosing colors? Or choosing colors by analogous / complementary / triad etc. rules? It could have interesting results, for overall colour harmony impression.

[edit]

Using swatches library from Adobe Illustrator also gives interesting effects. For example one of "baroque" swatches:

Eh It was an older thing back when I only had the 10x10. I made it, didn't really like it, it was shittier, etc got rid of it for now. I'd have to remake/make a new one at this point anyways, I might do so.

Yes they are almost the same except, I like the way the dwarfs look better in the 10x10, with the beards rather than a plain smiley face.

As a heads up Vherid, I posted my tileset to the wiki (http://dwarffortresswiki.org/index.php/Tileset_repository#Taffer). It's a modified Tocky, but it includes a few tiles from your tileset, and features your Natural colours. Thank you for the tileset and colour scheme.  I gave you credit for the used tiles, and included a link here for the colour scheme with my screenshot.

The skull soldiers are awesome. Tocky's dwarves were distinctly lacking in the gasping mouth mid-beard that makes them look so ridiculous and iconic. They looked naked somehow, without the little line for the mouth.

Post by: Taffer on March 08, 2012, 08:48:57 pm
I'm interested in giving them a heads up if you try it. I'm not sure how much wiggle room you have here, however. I tried to make a colour scheme myself for the tileset, fiddled with it for a while, only to return to your Natural colour scheme. Every palette I whipped up, as well as the ones on page 5 here, had colours that looked quite nice together, but failed at making an interesting world. Everything ended up looking either too washed out, or I had a palette that worked well on your handy preview image, yet failed to pop out in game. Yellow can't be too dull, or else it drags everything else down. The greens from your Natural set don't look as nice as your Warm colour scheme when I look at the palette, as the Warm colours work better together, but as soon as I fire them up in game I prefer the Natural set. I'm intrigued by the possibility of a hellish colour scheme.

tl;dr I'm interested in what you come up with.

Plaguetile updated. Things liable to change lots of new stuff.

I have a few notes and observations about the update for you.

First off, I really enjoy most of the new graphic tiles you created, they are looking nice and sharp and the gradients are wonderful. As for the letters and numbers, I personally feel they could use some more work. I am finding them a little too rough around the edges and they look somewhat warped. I am finding it especially difficult to distinguish the lowercase "L" from the uppercase "I", and the lowercase "F" and "T" are somewhat difficult to read as well.

As for the dwarf tiles, they look very well polished which is nice, but I would have to say I was growing quite fond of the ones from the previous release. Those were the only non-bearded characters that I actually liked the look of, and I am somewhat disappointed to see them go. Also, I am not too sure what I think about the bogeyman tile. I have not had the chance to see it in game yet but it looks kind of like a shield doesn't it? Perhaps make the eyes and mouth a little more prominent?

Anyway, that was my two cents. I hope the feedback is helpful. 
Title: Re: Vherid.set 3
Post by: AlexanderOcias on April 05, 2012, 11:26:28 pm
Yeah, I agree with Hanuman about the font + beards. The different personality is alright (although I prefer the previous one :P ), but inconsistent lighting + large dark area sends them into the background. Maybe try something like this?

(http://www.alexanderocias.com/jollybastion/vheridDorf.png)

That said, tree shading is sweet, as is the shiny rock thing (beside the hatch) and I'm pinching that stair-gradient idea right away. ;)
Title: Re: Vherid.set 3
Post by: Vherid on April 06, 2012, 02:52:04 am
Alright yeah thanks, the faces were meant to be hooded/facemasked and such ill play around with those more, and the font was very experimental I was like yeah fuck it lets try Harabara. I'll change it to something else now.

http://www.dafont.com/harabara.font

That's the demon face, not the boogeymen face, the Boogeymen are the N's with ~ above them. But I just tried making that looking ridiculous I'll play around with that some more as well.

thanks the feedback does help.

Wow, two things that jump out at me about this set:

The gradient on the water transforms it into a very convincing and beautiful wave.
Those double-box-tiles look spectacular indoors. I was skeptical looking at the outdoor screenshots but after seeing them as rough rock flooring it looks downright artistic.

Looks pretty decent. A nice halfway point between the more traditional looking sets and Jolly Bastion. A lot of good shading going on. I think the trees look a little odd, personally. I prefer more traditional looking trees, although kudos for attempting to use tiles reminisce of the original set. The stone tiles to the left of the small "a" ala Jolly Bastion take getting used to, definitely.

12x12 is a little too big for the font, and it appears too spaced out. Perhaps look into alternative fonts?

I think it's a great tileset. I prefer clean aesthetics myself, but I quite like it. Great job!

I tried playing ASCII for the first time simply because I liked the color palettes you have here... and now I'm hooked. I don't think I could go back to graphics and I never thought I'd say that. Nicely done! I really like the Jolly Bastion warm set, it's very soothing (even while it depicts scenes horrific carnage 8)). Thanks!

Uploaded with a new plagueset version.

Font was changed, it's actually even a bit smaller in some spots but I think the font itself actually looks better, we'll see how it works after a while of playing around with it. Couple little tile changes and fixes as well, aesthetically it should look a lot better overall.

Downloaded and will have a look at the new and different versions. I already do include, as you know, your old vherid tileset and color as ASCII+ (your old working title) in my mod, so maybe it would be a good idea to update it, and add some more of your content. It is really well made, and I would probably either put it in the "extra tileset" folder since it does use the ascii as basis, or add it as Vherid, next to phoebus and ironhand, replacing the Ascii+ I have. Would that be ok for you ?

Downloaded and will have a look at the new and different versions. I already do include, as you know, your old vherid tileset and color as ASCII+ (your old working title) in my mod, so maybe it would be a good idea to update it, and add some more of your content. It is really well made, and I would probably either put it in the "extra tileset" folder since it does use the ascii as basis, or add it as Vherid, next to phoebus and ironhand, replacing the Ascii+ I have. Would that be ok for you ?

Sure, plague set and plague warm coloring are obviously my "standard/default" out of my sets, but pick whatever you want.

That depends, how does it currently look, I haven't been able to see it yet with this set, I'll have to download someone's save or something or just quickly build something myself.

EDIT: Ok yes, the tracks are pretty much pitch black, I might slight touch up the cart icon too, I believe it's the totem or the tree top icon thing. Expect an update soon, just reformatted my pc.

Considering I'm done with school for the summer now, and I have 4 months of jack shit to do, this is what I currently have planned:

-One last sweep/fix through of the Ascii sets.
-Fix up plagueset some more.
-Possibility of bringing plagueset to the various other sizes, including 6x9.
-Fixing some of the colors up a bit, maybe more schemes.
-Jolly Bastion Warm needs to be touched up.

-Dare I say I get into the modding part I've been thinking about?

I have made a databend designed tileset, and along with it, I am going to start working on a mod. A far future, lost technology, dark ages, where you preserve SOVIET MIGHT. You play the overseer, and use an old relic of a SOVyb642 Arc System to reestablish existence and take land for SOVIET MIGHT.

Or something like that. The mod is going to glitch this game out beyond visuals, an old computer is not to be trusted. You might say this is a apocalypse/post-apocalyptic mod, but it's a technological dark age in the far future that did not necessarily result from an apocalyptic event. I plan on involving civilizations/factions similar to those of Metro 2033, people are coming into the world vault style as the vaults started to malfunction and shut down one by one and blah blah.

This is loosely where I'm going. I might make a separate thread for it soon, unless that's a silly thing to do.

But anyways this download is the fun tileset/color scheme. I recommend you use kremlin, it has a beautiful green/red complimentary balance. You're supposed to be seeing things through the shitty screen of some old soviet union computer thing. Of course it looks fucked up.

I think that's how it's supposed to look, maybe.

either way, new colorscheme I made:

I have an updated version of plagueset from a while ago I never uploaded for some reason, might do some more touch ups and upload it in a new version of all of this, including my soviet and other secret mod set stuff.

I found the wonderful delight that is Terminus font from a linux DF screenshot. I made a tileset mixing my plague set and the terminus font in a nifty 6x12. I plan on working on it more, certain things might just go back to being ascii.

So I looked at this and thought "Whoah, that's a nice and small looking 9x9 set!", but then to my disappointment, it wasn't nearly as cool as on the front page:
(https://dl.dropbox.com/u/63152810/PlagueOP.png) (https://dl.dropbox.com/u/63152810/PlagueNotOP.png)

And thus I decided to rip the outlines from the "cool" version. And then I decided to make them more gradient-sy, and then it got a bit out of control.
So - here's the result:

I'm using VS4-9x9.png

edit: I have now localized and fixed the issue. All of the tilesets in the vherid+ folder in the pack have 2tiles that is missing. And its tile number 182 and 199.
So i just copied from the shaded vherid tileset that is outside of the pack wich luckily enough had the missing tiles.

The two missing tiles are visible on the preview image. on row 12 and 13

Put the graphics in the proper folder, in the init file just set graphics to yes, and put the tileset name in both the appropriate places.

Also another new colorscheme that fits the wasteland/grim idea far nicer than my previous iteration.

I'm quite enjoying Dark Sand, however, the text is difficult to read. An example of this is the 'Move Goods to/from Depot' screen. Lightening Dark Grey's values even slightly yielded positive results to readability without upsetting the colour balance much. I used the values below.

My continuous quest for data density and obscurity has led me to a decently/mostly accurate Cyrillic tileset that follows ISO-9 translation for a english cyrillic phonetic, mostly. Obviously there's no subsitute for W or Q except outside of slavic Cyrillic where they appear to look/sound exactly the same I believe anyways. Some things are a little off because there's no place to put some letters like Ч or Ш and etc, and instead you get things like ХЦ instead of Ch which isn't really accurate. Either way though, it gives you a new matrix effect for those who are already too used to ASCII and want something even more obscure to bedazzle those around you. Here's some previews:

and yes this is plugged into a copy of the grim fortress tiles in these previews, I'm only using that as a 10x12 size framework for this version. I think I'll make a nice 8x8 version off of the actual CP866 tiles too.

I said in that post under the images that it was. In the post above yours it is the tileset at the top of those 3. I don't have a traditional english version as otherwise it wouldn't be that different from grim fortress, whereas my cyrillic version of it only has a few tiles from grim fortress overall. Those pics are using the dark sand color scheme that you can also find above or in the downloaded tileset/colorscheme package in the OP.

I think I'm going to stop doing/supporting the tilesets. What had a purpose when I started making these, years ago; creating a tileset that would suit my needs to offer the best of ascii+ ideas from multiple tilesets, and start digging into creating some of my own tiles to suit tastes; is no longer really a thing for me. Maybe I'll do only the 9x9 tileset, it's the one I find most interesting to myself, but I no longer use any of my own tilesets, I find Vanilla, Taffer, Grim Fortress, Jolly Bastion, and crazy 8x8s to all be superior for my tastes. I will still allow what is currently served to be downloaded, but I imagine the focus will go to only the 9x9 tileset. I might have some future ventures for tileset ideas, but I'm not sure about that.

Either way beyond focusing on that one size, if at all, the main focus is on the color schemes now. This is where I feel I still got the WHOLE MARKET. I don't use any color schemes except for my own, I think they're fantastic, and especially the more recent ones, have been getting better and better. I still have a few more ideas for colors to possibly try, but I'm not quite sure where to go next, I've reached a pretty wide range of colors so far.

Thank you for the compliment! I'll redo my thread and dffd at some point, and promote your colours better. I enjoy your colour schemes. I would have been using screenshots with your colours all along and linking to them, but early comments indicated confusion between the differences between our tilesets, so I stopped using them.

I suggest more colour schemes without the brown/sepia tones that a number of your colour schemes have. Perhaps an "improved vanilla" colour scheme, or some blue colour schemes.

What is RA?

A mod that I'm disgustingly slowly working on. Going to be about running an Ancient Egyptian Cult instead of dwarfs.

I'd be interested in a minor mod that still focuses on dwarves, but gives them a minor Ancient Egyptian spin. For example, the ancient nords in Skyrim with their embalming and sarcophagi. Fewer features also means less work.

I was getting kind of tired of see all the funky icons transposed into the text and broken menu screens when using the graphical tile sets.  I started backing away from them when I started using yours last year.  The VS5 tile set is such a nice balance between bling and interface.  I totally get what you're saying though, there comes a point where it's kinda of hard to improve perfection. ;D 

I really hope you modify VS5 if there are any significant changes in the next update, otherwise it will be missed.

New update, all new color schemes created at this point are now in the downloadable set. Tile sets have been reduced to just my 9x9, 12x12 and 10x10 Ra set. NES and Jolly Bastion Warm have been removed from the color schemes. Matrix and Ash were revamped for the better instead of being random color scales.

After some thinking I'll probably bring back the original ASCII tiles once I re-go through them again and come up with something a little more unique possibly. I'm probably gonna go through the vherid tiles for some rehauls possibly as well. I'll upload old stuff not included like that to a imgur album for people to use though if they really want the old stuff for some reason.

I think that would be an amazing idea, but the issue is that DF loads that text file upon start-up. This means , even if a dfhack script changes the color scheme when the season changes, you would still have to save, close DF, restart DF to get the scheme.

If rendermax can update gradient overlays on the fly, I don't see it being too much of an issue to have four color files for each of the seasons.  The screen gets a total rewrite when switching in and out of full screen mode.  The only thing left to do is update the color variables on the season and resize trigger.

I have to get my feet wet as I haven't compiled dfhack since last year.  I forget what it even looks like.  But it might be cool just to create a small plugin that people can just decide to use if they want four season files instead.  Then the colors would be dynamically loaded instead of just once.

Well the season thing would be cool, but its such a pain to work on color schemes a game restart at a time, and a lack of being able to instantly switch between colors makes it harder to tell what might need to be done or if something actually looks better or not.

Rendermax wouldnt use a color scheme, but it could add a hue to every tile. A little bit of green, yellow, red and blue for the seaons for example. Warmst said its possible, but he has so many projects started left and right, I dont know if this will happen any time soon.

Well basically for the reasons I stated in the OP, I haven't touched them in a year at least, Some of them are missing tiles so they won't fully work with 40.##, I personally don't like them as they stand.

So I'll probably bring them back, but there will be massive overhauls/rehauls before I really do that. I'm a very mood based worker, and I haven't been in the mood to make the tilesets in a while.

They are still there though, just click the tiles link.

Thanks again for your colour schemes. I've been playing with "Bone" recently, and it's probably my favourite. It reminds me of Tocky, only with softer colours.

I love Bone, but also the natural grass and leaves of Mishka.
I decided to mix them a bit.
Specifically to keep blood looking like blood, and to keep the snow fairly white, and pink flowers or leaves pink rather than yellow/orange as in Mishka.
Most of all to add the Bone warm brown UI colors to Mishka.

The majority from Mishka, but the LightMagenta, Magenta, White, LightGrey, DarkGrey and Black are from Bone.
Brown is my own warm wood color. Red is more like blood.

Days of DOS
Something of a more proper matrix-like scheme, but also reminiscent of palettes from old DOS games like Doom. Follows similar ideas to Mud of making nobles golden, and special things like adamantine are bright gold/yellow. Of course ice shows up as yellow now, but fuck it.

This particular colour scheme has been my new favourite. I adjusted the dark grey lines for better contrast.

I liked dark sands though it felt far too extreme and many of the others did as well.
