Spacefox Graphic Set


 
News and Updates


December 02 2013

Hey Spacefox here.

Some people have contacted me about using the Dwarf sprites in their game, tileset or website. You have my permission to use these Sprites provided:

- You don't monetize my sprites. Eg, paid game (i made these for the dwarf fortress community to enjoy. They are free to share and use)
- I'm NOT the creator of Pheobus' Tileset or any of it's assets. If you want to use those assets, you will need to ask permission from the respective creators!
- Please make sure to credit me and of course Sphyr, the creator of the original dwarves on which my sprites are based upon.

Thankyou.

About


A 16x16 tile and graphic set created with a simple, clean look as a goal. Inspired by Jolly Bastion and referenced from tile sets that have come before. This graphic and tileset is still very much a WIP. It should be completely playable as it is based off Phoebus' Tileset and comes with all of it's graphical assets.

Download and Installation


1 -  Uninstall any previous graphics pack from your dwarf fortress installation.
2 - Download my graphics set here ---> DOWNLOAD
3 - Unzip the file and copy the contents of [16x16] Spacefox 34.11 to your dwarf fortress main directory.
4 -  Load up and strike the earth!

5 - I'm very happy to say that PeridexisErrant has decided to included the Spacefox graphics set in his updated Lazy Newbie Pack. It makes installing and removing different tilesets much easier and comes with a whole bunch of utilities, mods, updates and fixes. Highly recommended.  Please visit his post here for more information and download link --->PeridexisErrant's LNP

6- Frici has also included the graphics set with the MacNewbie Pack. Mac users please visit this post for Information and download ---->  MacNewbie Pack ReBorn Rejoice!

DF Modding / How do you create sprites with transparency?
« on: July 19, 2013, 08:37:05 pm »
Hi this is my first post and also my first time creating sprites.

I'm in the middle of creating some 16x16 tiles based on Phoebus' Tile set. My problem is i can't figure out how to make transparency work. I've tried reading some tutorials on alpha channels and transparency but i can't seem to get anything right.

I created the sprites on a transparent layer in Photoshop as .PNG format. While testing them ingame the transparent areas all come up as black.

Could someone with experience help walk me through the steps?

Thanks.
