I'm wondering if the crashes could be related to TWBT's recent need to have those two 1-pixel png files in the art folder. One is a white pixel and the other is a transparent pixel. All graphics packs need these while using TWBT print mode.

Yeah, I have them. But, again, since I'm using TWBT_LEGACY, I don't think it matters.

JFYI, this tileset seems to be working perfectly well with df-0.44.12 + dfhack-0.44.12-r2 + twbt-6.57 and TWBT (not TWBT_LEGACY) print mode.

Registered on this forum literally so I could leave a message here and say that this tileset is astonishingly beautiful. As a newb to DF (a few weeks now), I was really struggling to get into the game. The ASCII was hard to look at for me, and the full graphics sets were pulling me out of the actual game world and it's incredible depth. Grim Fortress was pretty good, but didn't hit me right.

Durer was that perfect middle ground for me. It's moody, beautiful, simple, and doesn't remove me from my head-fiction at all. I was zoomed out and watching the waves crashing around a coastal fort earlier today and it was just mesmerizing. I love it!

Thank you, HaterSkater. What a work of art!

Side note: I am using TWBT on DF 0.44.12. No crashes or issues on my end. Installed it through the LNP.

I noticed not so many folks with MacBooks know that DF can be run using full capabilities of their Retina screen, i.e. when tiles don't get artificially scaled up 2x. In order to do that, set GRAPHICS_FULLSCREEN(X/Y) to match your native screen resolution and press F11 to go fullscreen after loading DF. The problem is of course, since the DPI is so high, everything becomes too small and uncomfortable to play. I found that using the 30px version of Duerer tileset HaterSkater published in http://www.bay12forums.com/smf/index.php?topic=142083.msg5777391#msg5777391 works perfectly, tiles visually become the usual size while looking super sharp and extra gorgeous.

If you like me, prefer playing with huge tiles, would it be in order to feel the game on a completely different level or just concentrate on building very compact fortresses, you can blow up the 30px version of the tileset to 60px using the nearest-neighbor algorithm (you can do that with "convert in.png -filter point -resize 200% out.png" with ImageMagic) and also optionally use the original 15x15 version of the tileset for text (via TWBT) drastically shrinking the right sidebar. This is certainly not for everyone but you can give it a try. I only wish there was a simple way to fill the 60px version with the original 15px hatch.

I was looking around at some of the recent new tilesets.  Some of them are pretty impressive for sure.  I think if you were to ask me about dwarf fortress in ten years, this is the tileset that would come to mind.

The work of the steam version is super impressive, but I hope somehow this tileset finds a home as a nostalgic facelift to the new game...

Sorry, to be spamming here lately.  I needed a break from work.

Towards the end of life for this tileset, HaterSkater released the overlays and such.  So here's an updated version of an 18x18 Duerer tileset.

It includes centered text, accented punctuation and small creature patch.

OK, so another update.  I've made several changes to the original tileset to make the text more legible. 

The colors have also been brightened up just a bit to make the text easier to read.

Much more legible, great work.

Glad to see someone taking care of this masterpiece. It was 5 years since my last commet, and I still play with Duerer exclusively.

Regarding colors. I always play with (very slightly edited) Dawnbreaker color palette. I think it goes great with Duerer and encourage everyone to try it.

Thanks! I'm really wanting to figure out this smaller sidebar trick; I'm going to try this

WOW, even after all this time. I thought I'd load this up in 50.08. I've been on a hiatus for a while, but I thought I'd give it a try. It even works in Wine!

Can't wait to check this out.

I think the main thing I noticed was the new scaling options. Both have to be set equally for this:

[INTERFACE_SCALING_TO_DESIRED_GRID:YES]
[INTERFACE_SCALING_DESIRED_GRID_WIDTH:170]
[INTERFACE_SCALING_DESIRED_GRID_HEIGHT:170]

It's pretty generous that he's still releasing all the new stuff publically.

OMG, how did Toady do this? The new UI is so beautiful!
