Tilesets and Graphics / Tilesets on PRINT MODE TEXT and beard faces
« on: January 18, 2021, 07:20:08 am »
Hello everyone,
this is my very first post on this forum. First of all, I'd like to say thanks for creating this amazing game. I've been playing Dwarf Fortress for a couple months now and I'm totally loving it!
However, despites this great game, unfortunately I hardly have time to play it as I would like and so I started looking other possibilities on how could I play it. I spend at least 2 hours per day on public transport and I wondered if it could be possible to play this game on the go. It has been 2 months now and I finally managed to make it work ! There aren't alot of tutorials, But I've found a way to play DF on my smartphone, via Termux and Ubuntu. The experience is not as good as playing on PC, but I can have fun.
With these manipulations, I have some questions :
1 - In order to make DF run on Ubuntu emulated via Termux, I had to change the init.txt and set the setting PRINT_MODE to TEXT. I'm not quite sure what does it do, could anyone explain to me what is the difference between 2D and Text mode? I didn't find anything really useful on the web.
2 - I would like to know if it is possible to put some tilesets as PRINT_MODE set to TEXT ? I tried installing some tilesets by myself but the game says I need to change this parameter to make the tileset work. However, when I change it, I can not longer run DF because it says I need a graphical output. I'm now trying to discover a way out to solve this issue. I was thinking maybe I could implant some sort of GUI environnement on Termux, but had no success so far.
3 - Is it possible to change the "skin" of dwarves? I'm playing with smiley faces. I would like to have the beard ones. I know that this setting comes up when playing on windowed mode, however I tried to change in the settings to fullscreen and changing resolutions but it didn't work. Does it have a way around that I could change these smiley faces?
Thank you already for your time.
Best regards,
Elio NETO
