[24x24] Phoebus tileset for 40.02

Any requests, let me know.  Spacefox is still in flux so I'll do that when it's finished. 

As far as the original question, unless you're at a resolution higher than 1920x1080 these won't help.  DF requires 80 columns of width so 24x24 is the largest you can go (you can't zoom either since it's at the maximum already.)  The author of Text will be Text is removing that restriction with his plugin, I think it's still in development though and I haven't tried it yet.  Once that's done there will probably be more work on larger tilesets.
Do I just copy this into my DF folders or do I need to do something else. Sorry for newb question, but I'm, well, a noob.

Unzip the file and move the contents of the "[24x24] TilesetName xx.xx" folder into your DF folders. 

If you're using PeridexisErrant's LNP pack, you can put the [24x24] folder into LNP\Graphics and install it using the Starter Pack Launcher.

Yeah I just picked up a razorblade 2014 and it has a whopping 3800x1800 resolution on a 14" screen (which it turns out causes quite a few problems as software moves toward high dpi stuff). A looooong shot from the stuff I started DF on lol.

Considered starting a hi res tileset as well. I'm not much of an artist, but it's never a bad time to learn right?

I modified the 16x16 Cooz tileset to have beards based on the default curses_square_16x16.png.
Rename it to CoozB_16x16.png.

Thank you very much, I'm in your debt :) Thanks to everyone else too. I will gladly wait for your repack of Spacefoxes for the newest version, since it's mine favorite tileset at the moment.

As time goes by I'm sure HD tilesets will become more appreciated. Maybe your tileset will be the next "phoebus/ironhands", who knows?
