Mac DF tilesets- adapting Mayday et al.
« on: May 21, 2010, 06:50:06 pm »
I've been playing 40d with Mayday for, oh about a yearish now, I would think, on my Mac. Anyways, whenever the graphics issue is all fixed and settled for 31.04 (or if we wait for .05 or what-have-you), I'd like to go back to playing DF with tilesets (as ASCII gives me a huge headache)- to anyone who knows and cares, is it going to be easy to make a tileset run with the Mac DF, or is this about to get really tiresome and involve messing about with far too many variables?

Nice one, not sure when I'll be feeling like killing a baby but these things are good to know.

This is why we can't have nice things... someone will just wind up filling it with corpses.

Mac tilesets work exactly the same as Windows tilesets. Once .05 comes out, it should just work.


The only problem I've seen in the past with some tilesets is that they use Windows path delimiters '\' instead of POSIX ones '/' which breaks on the Mac and probably on linux as well. I just IM the authors when I find that and ask them to fix it in their next version.
