We're going to pay for not making that obvious...

The tileset used is configured in the data/gfx.txt file
Add a '#' in front of the lines that mention Deon's and remove the '#' from the lines that mention Hodor's tiles.  If you comment both sets out it'll fall back to GalenTiles.

That was implemented quite a while back...*code archaeology*... In January.
Hence the new motorcycle with sidecar you might run across now
(aviator goggles and leather cap sold seperately)

Or an unkillable robotic monstrosity that chases you for all of eternity

I expect the release of full z-level support to be named something dramatic.

That's the plan, but if you'll consult the official release checklist:
https://github.com/CleverRaven/Cataclysm-DDA/blob/master/code_doc/RELEASE_CHECKLIST
> Come up with a release name at the absolute last second.
So we'll see when it happens

In general, the naming scheme is a name with some historical significance to the post-apocalyptic genre, some were Vodun loas, many have been authors of post-apocalyptic fiction.  I try to chose somethiong that highlights the interesting points of development for the release.
For example if we did a lot of work on NPCs we'd maybe call it Sartre ("Hell is other people")

Options > Interface > 16. Use Tiles = False
As of this build, we're committing to save compatibility on releases, and possibly on individual builds.
We finally have a framework in place for it, and with some care we should be able to continue loading current save files in the future.  We'll likely cease supporting certain versions at some point, but it will be the exception rather than the rule.

And yea ultra-maximum cities basically don't work, but I left that level in just in case someone is insistent that they want a totally map-spanning city.

EDIT: To switch tiles adjust the data/gfx.txt config file.

Shrubs: The Carp of DDA.

Hah, sure.
Until we have Carp at least, and zombie carp.

actually...

Planning on doing a release this weekend.

I personally would love world builder and the like because it'd make getting that 'dream' world up and make it less likely I'll just reset the world when I die.

On a related note, is there a plan to make the start randomized if the game can't find a shelter instead of just putting you in the same place each character in the larger city sizes?

Yes, we either need to force generation of a shelter, or...

Hell, it'd be great if that was a setting in the world builder. "Start in [building]". Start in houses, police stations, prisons, etc instead of an evac shelter.

...do this, which we're doing regardless.

We're planning on having themed starting scenarios in addition to letting you pick your starting point.

It looks like it only considers the four cardinal neighbors.  You need a roof in your tile, and either a roof or an "obstacle" in each cardinal direction.  Directions are relative to the vehicle at 0 rotation (pointing north).
I think I see the issue.  When looking at adjacent obstacles, it skips them if they're inside, so a board or door doesn't count if it's itself inside.  It really wants continuous roof parts throughout the passenger portion of the vehicle except at the edges.  The large predefined vehicles seem to follow this assumption, but your custom job might not.  Does that explain what you're seeing?
Additionally it caring about the "inside-ness" of adjacent locations means the results can change based on the order in which they're evaluated, which normally isn't something we care about.  It's even possible that installing a new part could ripple across the vehicle and change the inside-ness of a non-adjacent location.  So yea, that part of the rule is going away...
