world map graphics
« on: December 11, 2008, 04:22:11 pm »
Has anyone tried/made a graphics set specifically for the world map? Something to make digging through embark sites prettier/more obvious?

Really?  The embark screen is the one ascii screen that I'm almost never confused on.  The only thing that ever gets me is differentiating between sand and magma.

I don't think you can...  It'd mess with walls and stuff...

I can read most of it, and I'll figure out the magma and stuff I turned on in time.
As for the walls, I was thinking, since a lot of people spend a good deal of time digging for the perfect site, that after embarking just save out and swap the sets back to the play graphics.
