Title: NSMR: The VorpalCurses+1 tileset goes Snicker-snack!

When I say "my works" I mostly mean "the works of DragonDePlatino, Bisasam, HaterSkater, Phstthpok, CLA, and numerous others I will add when I get them all listed" btw.

I don't have the art skills to oomph together a full set from scratch, ok apparently I can basically make a full set by using the curses_640x300 as a base. Plus I can preserve the artistic styles of others when rescaling them (or in the case of GemSet, merely using the non-Square text set he so kindly provided) and so I have done my best to embiggen, clean, and in the case of the Duerer map set, reconstruct text-assets where possible.

I did contribute some of my own designs in the form of the bigasam (big as a mofo) dorfs, seen in an early stage in the Duerable (30x45) set and in their most current form in the Bigasam (36x54) set. For GemSexy I just preserved the style present and made a sort of dummied set so adventurers and such showed up with the right color schemes without requiring the full graphical assets and twbt and such.

Then I took on my greatest challenge, which took most of a week to finish, and really screwed my neck up. Rescaling CLA to 18x27 and 36x54!

So, since I am probably not the only one who likes non-Square sets, or perhaps not many realize that if you are a big fan of adventure mode, and not a fan of it crashing when entering travel mode due to twbt... I figured I would share these because a non-Square set doesn't size down as far as square ones do!

They should work for screens up to 2880x1350 or something stupid like that, so as HD as you want it basically.

All credit for the original art goes to said artists, all credit for mangling it, stretching it, squashing it, and otherwise fucking it up goes to me... my bad.

So yeah: http://dffd.bay12games.com/file.php?id=11247

There are a couple of init issues that I still need to work out with the columns and such, but nothing gamebreaking, I'll be updating those into the file on the link there with notes accordingly, but yeah. Figured I'd put up a display of what the heck I mean by NonSquareMasterRace, and I'll do my best to get them updated with any changes necessary for the new version when it hits.

Also, here's a link to Wanderlust and my script stuff over on github until I figure out why the tilesets weren't loading right and can migrate this over there: https://github.com/maxthyme/dfstuff

Updated with the mass tileset collection and Curses+1 stuff on the dffd.

Oh, I also grabbed the awesome little statue guy from some mockups Dibujor made! Nearly forgot.

I swapped the default Duerer dorfs because I couldn't see them at all no matter what I tried to do with the rescale, finally I got inspired to try to draw my own, leading to the Bisasam style dorfs there.

Also... for those freaks who like square sets... for whatever reason... since I did the step of sizing it and cleaning it at 200% first before stretching it to glorious proportions, here's the... regular Myne36x36:

If anyone has any requests for a rectangular upscale, I can incidentally do a regular 200% cleaned version before the 200% by 300% too.

Thank ya. I actually rebuilt a bisasam ascii set in my preferred huge size (and... a square version) and was really happy to see the gobbo eyes worked right. Note that I don't have other creature graphics because the only parts of CLA which I didn't absolutely love were the racial graphics, they're cool, but they suited the Myne style set better.

Ok, this: http://dffd.bay12games.com/file.php?id=11247 has been updated, I shrank it back down because I didn't notice how big the save I was tossing in there was, now it's back down to just the tilesets and graphics.

This: http://dffd.bay12games.com/file.php?id=11264  has WanderLust installed with the tiles and graphics and dfhack, it should all be working and it's stable so I figured I'd put up a plug-and-play demo, it does have my weird keybinds, try em, swap em, up to you of course, but the main reason I have that is because of the sample world I generated to use it with:
(http://i.imgur.com/x6lvu3w.png)

Look at that beautiful mess of awfulness and death.

It's also using the updated, and I think possibly final version of these dapper racial graphics for a good while, only thing I'm looking to add now is animated/zombie graphics but I'm still stumped on what to do there.

WHY CAN'T I STOP DOING THIS!?!?

Note that I applied some tilemagic there because I use Cathelms to check on different tilesets (the errors stand out asap since I know how it all looks) and it's all engraved, so the blinding white everything kills my eyes.

I cleaned up some of the tiles too, since they didn't show up and had some weird errors that I'm not sure were in there originally or from the rescaling, but either way it's a lovely set.

Couple old-school style sets here.

(http://i.imgur.com/1rPociw.png)

Oh, and yes... I've got or will have a square version, since I've already got the set I want to use full time finished (BigasamAscii), I'm doing this partially because I like doing it, but I'm also trying to make sure there are a bunch of HD ready options when the new version hits. Lots of people still ask for 10x10 versions of stuff for some reason, not nearly enough people seem to be looking for sets that make use of the real estate on 1920x1080, 2560x1440, and 4k monitors... but I know you're out there.

curses_racial.png

The tiles are all based on the letters, and when they die the letter they turn back into fits the shape/outline of the racial tile.

The goblin eyes are the quotation marks, but a bit slimmed, sadly I can't bring myself to line both of them up, but it's ok.

Next time I update the dffd I'm just gonna put all of the tilesets in one folder so you can toss them in place, with the graphics sets in their named folders as appropriate. Merging folders is a fine idea but ehhhh, be easier to just have them all visible.

Though I will include an init.txt with all of the named tilesets minus 1 bracket so you can just add one and swap to them.

Code: [Select]

FONT:curses48text.png]
FONT:duerasam.png]
FONT:BigasamAscii.png]
FONT:Myne36x54.png]
FONT:WanderLarge.png]
FONT:HugeMood.png]
FONT:curses_column.png]
[FONT:curses_halfshade.png]

Like so.

Fixed this graphic btw, somehow I grabbed the V as the base for the human rather than the U, the soldier tiles were of course the one with the dots, but hey, I'm a tard!

Ohh, that's great. You do know that you can set graphics to be colored by the game though, right? No need to include colors. Or are you just showing off how it looks with different colors?

I like the brighter colors and I like them to keep the colors when I'm playing them in adventurer mode, when the game does it it makes you flash the blue background, these do to but if you wear a white cloak it kills the background.

I must say I was totally inspired by your set to try the outline thing with these.

I have no clue where this should go, but it is using the same tiles soooo...
(http://i.imgur.com/E5VkScr.png)

Yes, that is a dorf loose on my screen, and yes, that is the KDE cursor theme changing screen with dorf cursors installed.

http://dffd.bay12games.com/file.php?id=11286

Should work on any version of linux when dropped into the .icons folder, don't know how windows does it and have no way to test but I don't think it is that different.

Only got them in the 48px size, didn't try to shrink it below that because the little things like the closedcircle (a demon &) or forbidden (literally just {}) wouldn't show up at all.

There are a few animations, the question mark fades in and out alternating with the dorf for questionarrow, the hand1/hand2/link cursors use the lever on/off with different lengths (hand1 is off first for twice as long as on, etc, etc), the wait cursor blinks through the vermin/rock tiles, not sure if I did any others yet.

Bumpdated since I updated WanderLust to 42.xx (https://github.com/maxthyme/dfstuff/tree/master/WanderLust-42.xx) for the most part and I'll upload the graphics with the tavern tiles and such here, I'm still deciding if I want to do the eyepatches for the dancers and stuff or not.

CLeaned up the @ symbol and have it so adventurer recruits start with it, then switch graphics with skills, I love the bright pink/purple and it's easy to see so I left that as the color for the adventurer wrestler/recruits.

The heads of the dorfs were a bit squared off looking so I played around until I got them a bit rounder without making them taller or changing the look too much.

The white cloak makes the background color go away so it just flashes from the brighter to dark colors of your tile.

Bump with what started out as a test to see if I could make it as an alt variant, but since it fits the aesthetic and general methodology I used to make the set in the first place I'm leaning towards making it the default with the square walls as a variant.

As for crenelated?

ARE YOU TRYING TO DRIVE ME TO MADNESS!?!?!

Not even sure how I would go about trying them on a diagonal.

Crenelated, fully rounded, diagonal and orthogonal! 4 sets of graphic sets more to maintain!

On the topic of diagonal walls, you might find this insight from phoebus useful:

Yeah, I actually hit on the "green" method there, but I went about it by playing with transparency layers.

I actually had to fork my own .xcf and make one where I removed all the experimental layers I wasn't using, still has like 80 or 90 something in there, probably more.

Over on /dfg/ there is an anon with an interesting a e s t h e t i c sense who made a tileset with that theme, vapor wave and 80's radness and all that so I upscaled it and trimmed the corners as usual, then while looking at it I realized how to fix the asymmetrical beards to my liking in my VorpalCurses+1 (http://i.imgur.com/ao1GvDn.png) set, so, yay!

Here's said f_u_l_l_y_a_e_s_t_h_e_t_i_c.png tileset:

No extra stuff like translucent ground or tilemagic on this one, just cleaned up the edges and such based on the aesthetic set above.

Oh yeah, forgot someone on /dfg/ requested one of these without the ground tiles and walls and stuff.

Later I may do the translucent tiles on this one and whatnot, especially if someone requests it, but since Rogue Yun was nice enough to do a cleaner upscale of the 10x12 to 24x24 I did my thing with it too.

Since I do have roots in 24x24 sets.

Cleaned up a couple errors, centered the letters and stuff a bit better, tossed in the background stuff.

I've been meaning to ask you about this. Are you okay with your pack being included in Lazy Newb Packs? If so, could you explain it to me some? Which tilesheet do you feel is the best one that should be the default? Is it still Curses+1 from the DFFD download or is it VorpalCurses+1 from the original post? Should one of the /raw/graphics/ folders from the DFFD download get installed by default – like maybe the Curses version of the graphics folder? Is there a color scheme that you would recommend people using with this pack? Sorry for all the questions.

Post by: Max™ on June 28, 2016, 03:30:55 am

If people want to use it, sure, I don't have the graphics updated, VorpalCurses+1 is the "main" one, it captures the feel of the 8x12 set with the bearded dorfs best I think. I should update the dffd one though, I kinda forget about it sometimes.

As for color schemes, I have no preference there, I like default with a slightly more blue black. No prob on questions, I just have the set out there along with the various other rescales so I can link them if someone pops up with a "man, I wish x was bigger" or "I wish y wasn't square" type posts.

I've been trying to figure out the naming system in NSMR:

Keyword	Meaning
Curses	- enlarged versions of the Curses tilesheet
Vorpal	- Curses tilesheets with background colors changed
Keen	- 16x24 versions of Vorpal tilesheets
+1	- Max™'s seal of quality
Classic	- uses round Dwarves from Curses 8x12
Letters	- uses Taffer's Dwarf letter symbol for Dwarves

In addition to changing Kobold soldiers to tile 18 and Goblin solider to tile 171, it looks like I'm supposed to change the pillar tile to 255, right? Are any other tiles supposed to be changed?

Linear scaling vs Nearest scaling:

Spoiler: "Standard Nearest Scaling" (click to show/hide)

(http://i.imgur.com/pcn4dms.png)

I prefer the sharper Nearest scaling. Linear scaling seems to turn the clean png into a "jpeg". The only downside of Nearest scaling is that it requires Standard rendering, which can't use TrueType fonts or black-space borders.

Wow, nearest is awful, and yeah, I put those tiles on unused so it won't do anything if you haven't altered them yourself, but it is an option if you want.

Oh, you're right; I wasn't noticing before that "NEAREST" was messing up the diagonal lines of the diamonds and slashes.

The Dffd file (the one the link redirects to) says the version is for version 0.40.something.

The current version is 0.43.05.

Oh, yeah, I hadn't gotten around to updating the graphics and everything fully, as I've just been doing the tilesets lately.

Been meaning to redo the graphics, just haven't had a bug to do them yet.

Well, try as I might I can't get over how much better Dragon DePlatino did on making a clean rescale of the curses set (http://www.bay12forums.com/smf/index.php?topic=161328.0), and the only parts I've found worth preserving are the shading/walls, so I just called this VectorCurses+1:
